You got a good deal for 3 at $42 but when you said the regular price is $59.97, this is the pricing structure that I feel is deceptive and keeps me from patronizing their stores. Do a google search for queen size warm and natural. All other retailers regular price for this product is right around $26.00. Here are just a few I found and smart internet shoppers can figure out ways to get free shipping.

JAF artificially inflates their regular price to deceive shoppers that they are getting such a great deal with a 40% or 50% off coupon. In reality that just brings their "regular" price in line with every other retailer. So comparing what you paid to what other retailers charge your deal only represents a savings of $36.00 not $110. Still you got a decent deal, I just feel bad for people who are in a bind, don't have a coupon, need something fast and pay the artificially inflated "regular" price.
