Michael Jackson's family had a lot to deal with in the wake of his passing -- but one thing they didn't have to worry about ... beds.

Neil Leeds, owner of the popular mattress chain Leeds Mattress Stores, tells TMZ he "took care of" the Jackson family when it came to their mattress needs.

Never underestimate the importance of a good night's sleep.

    Interesting how we were talking about the whole sleeping bag thing & that maybe there weren't enough beds in the Encino house so the kids had to sleep in the sleeping bags. Now TMZ puts this out there about the "Mattress King" & providing beds for the Jackson family. "I always feel like somebody's watching us" <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

    I was thinking the same! <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->

    I wonder about when this video was taped, as the guy says:
    "It's a really sad passing of ehh Michael Jackson, but I took care of the family, made sure that their children have really nice beds and ehhh...everybody in the business man. I hook up everybody and it was really nice to ehh be a part of that, make sure their family was taken care of just recently and when that happened and that even to me was something really deep part...more than my story was his, I understand the situation with no sleeping too man, because I deal with that myself. Stress and not sleeping so... To be a part and take care of his family, god bless him and the Jacksons. [inaudible question] Absolutely man, oh man, I took care of them then right up, then they took care of me. Sure [inaudible] that's VIP man, and ehh, they're always there for me and if they need it...I take care of them man.

    "make sure their family was taken care of just recently" leaves us with two options:
      [li]This video was recorded shortly after June 25th and for whatever reason it was released just now;[/li] [li]This video was recorded recently which makes me wanna go hmmmm when thinking about the stun gun incident, the involvement of Child Services and the video of the kids meeting Katherine for lunch which already raised questions about where the kids are living right now.[/li]

    The guy's story doesn't make much sense...or does it make a lot of sense when reading in between the lines..?

    "It's a really sad passing of ehh Michael Jackson, but I took care of the family, made sure that their children have really nice beds". THEIR children, not HIS children..? Jermaine's kids were already living with Katherine, so for which other kids did he provide beds?

    "everybody in the business man. I hook up everybody and it was really nice to ehh be a part of that". The business? Aren't they supposed to be a family..? Why would he call the family a business?

    "To be a part and take care of his family". To be a part of Mike's family..? In what way?

    "I took care of them then right up, then they took care of me". How? And why is he holding up money while telling his story?

    Shoot me, but this is weird...

    Maybe Michael & the kids are living in Neverland & they needed new beds <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) --> I agree with everything the person who posted before me said. This is really weird. Even the guy himself is really weird. & the whole holding money while I'm talking about helping the Jacksons & getting paid thing, real classy <!-- s:roll: -->:roll:<!-- s:roll: -->

    I think you're right! <!-- s:mrgreen: -->:mrgreen:<!-- s:mrgreen: --> I have to say that the guy acted a little weird though as if he was nervous or as if he's hiding something. Thanks for sharing this Mo.

    hmmm... MJ's money went missing from carrolwood the day he "died". Janet and Latoya couldnt find it. SO since MJ is "dead" he cant use credit cards or check since it will e traced to him. but he has all that cash from carrolwood... so... <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    The guy looked like he was out scalping tickets or hawking street goods as he stood talking and holding the wad of cash. <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    The mattresses may not have been purchased for Mjs children but for additional adults who would be staying at the house i.e.security guards. Three children could have easily done what most kids do when they attend a sleepover and just pile into the currently available beds with the other kids. Sure the Encino compund is not the size of Neverland however it did once house the entire Jackson family quite comfortably.

    *Mo*, When the bed guy is talking about taking care of everyone in the "business", I think he just means "show business".

    TMZ is at it again!! Maybe the missing money was hidden in a mattress?

    The man holding money, and he is the king of mattresses, and aid to help you get a bettter nights sleep. Just a thought, We need to find the truth in this.
    MJ needed a bed too, as he couldn't sleep in a coffin if he's not dead.
    KING....the king of pop
    MATTRESS: an aide for a better nights sleep.
    TOOK CARE OF THE JACKSON FAMILY: MJ is looking out for them and taking care of his own children. As always, with L.O.V.E xox

    Thanks for that Harvey if you're watching. I know that you know this strange story will keep us all scratching our heads for the next few days.

    But why aren't they using the furniture that was taken out of the house the day after Michael "died"? Is that furniture somewhere else...like Neverland? Or, was the furniture in the house rented or belonged to the home? IDK..just a question as this seems like odd timing for this story to come out.

    That furniture belonged to the mansion,

    I don't understand why the Jacksons would have to buy mattresses. They all probably had their own beds before. It wouldn't be anything for them to move their mattresses from here to there. I'm pretty sure they have enough money to do so. I mean think about it...if Katherine and Joe are still wearing the same clothing from a few years ago why would they need new mattresses? I know this story is soooo not true! LOLOLOL <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: --> <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    Generally the meaning of the phrase, "took care of" which is specifically in quotations, is that the person killed or disposed of a problem person. The "good nights sleep" emphasis could also imply permanent sleep. Don't worry I believe MJ's alive, but I think this is just some new twist connection to who could be implecated in MJ's "death".

    This recalls me the Murray´s CPR explanation, saying it was a firm surface.

    Maybe the old mattresses were full of dollar bills, they had to remove the cash for Michael. That's why they needed to buy new ones ! <!-- s:lol: -->:lol:<!-- s:lol: -->

    Seriously I think that TMZ wrote this story because we were talking about the sleeping bags, I don't think that coincidences are admitted anymore, but this story does not help to understand why did Katherine bought sleeping bags if they already bought brand new mattresses ? Well we'll maybe never get the right answer.

    I see the hints here with the "CPR on the bed", "King" of mattresses "King of Pop", a good sleeping night and Michael supposed insomnias, but why the money ? I wonder if the cash was in or under the mattress.

    Did you notice the man in black & white joining the SUV in the left background?
    Funny how curious folks are.

    And the subtitle: "He won't be beat" - the slogan of the store. Nice.

    Maybe he was smart & knew that people would look for it & had it put somewhere else in safe keeping a while ago or right before he "died". Just a thought.

    They purchased new beds for the kids for the Encino house.

    This whole story since June is about falling asleep, sedating and waking up.
    Sleep is death's little brother.

    What better to talk about a place to fall asleep and that "I took always care of them" and "I'll take always care of them".

    There are some topic patterns in this silence.
    Next one may be another fire incident.
    Or another dangerous weapon.
    Or another family moral thingie.
    Or another healing issue.
    Or about some "Ohropax" ear protection.
    Or about some sensational contact lenses for the blind.
    Or some new braille characters for the deaf-mutes.
    Something about listening, seeing and speaking.
    Or about black and white and differences that we imagine only.

    From cardiologist to family doctor to sleep care professional. Hmmm.
    Who else will speak for him on his behalf?

    I think this is hinting at two things...

    Katherine's sleeping bag shopping trip on 06/26 - Michael is resting, sleeping, propofol

    And the burning bed for Dirty Diana.....
  • paula-cpaula-c Posts: 7,221
    Katherine sleeping bag shopping trip in 06/26, maybe they needed at the time, then bought the mattresses not for the Encino house, maybe another house or Neverland as voiceforthesilent said. I think the kids are with Michael, I am recalling the reunion of children with grandma <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) -->
