Right now I am like the Princess and the Pea. I can not sleep, I cannot get comfortable. The environment has to be just right.
There is no real reason why I can't sleep. It may be because I have caffeine too late in the day. I have cut that back. It could be that my husband moves a lot and crosses my invisible line. yes, I have one of those. I mean, I like to sleep and I am not one to spoon. Period. It is not too hot, too loud or too cold. It is just right. I have plenty O pillows.
Then it hit me-We need a new mattress.
We have had this one for 10 years and before that we briefly had a soft sided waterbed. I am not sure why we bought that one as it was a real piece of junk. We had to quickly run out and get what we could afford so here we are 10 years later with this one.
You know how it is when you have kids and they have slept with you. I don't feel the need to go on. Use your imagination.
I have taken care of it, I wash my sheets weekly (yes, I DO have OCD I think) and I rotate it.
We are in the market for a new one. We had a dose of sticker shock last week when we tested out several at a local mattress store. I had done my homework before going. I had been on a few websites like Tesco ( huge range of mattresses ) , Tempeurpedic (expensive), Spring Air (not the best ratings), Jameson (Made in Indiana), Sealy (a common brand), etc. After a while they were all the same to me.
So, I am asking you all. What kind of mattress do YOU have? What has worked for you? What do you NOT like?
I need a little help here :)
I appreciate your help SO much! You are like my little test panel!

Since you are in Indiana, you should check out Holder Mattress. They are supposed to be fantastic. Plus, you'd be supporting a local Indiana company that makes their product here in the state. http://www.holdermattress.com/
ReplyDeleteTHat is a good point! I forgot about them!!
ReplyDeleteHeather, this is too funny! I was reading in hopes of YOU mentioning a mattress you liked! :) I understand "Princess & The Pea" syndrome -- for as sound as I sleep in between, I'm awake in a flash at the first noise or movement. Right now we have a queen sized mattress stacked on top of a king sized frame, lol -- I have to "climb in" just to go to bed! Let me know how your search goes.
