Pardon Me While I Gush

I just love my new mattress set. For a couple of reasons........

I know I worked for Simmons. And I have my issues - with the company NOT the product. They really do make the best damned mattresses on the market. AND the R&D department really do care that they are making peoples lives better. That's not the company Koolaid. It's the way it is.

That being said - Oh.My.Goodness.

It's not a top of the line. In fact it's an entry level product. But it supports my back. It's a little firmer than I like, but it's important to remember that buying a mattress is like buying a pair of jeans. You may love the jeans when you buy them. They look good - they fit great!! BUT - they get better with time. After a while they start getting broken in. They start to conform to your body. That's how it is with a mattress. All foam (except for latex) is firm when you first get it. It needs to be broken in. After a while it will start to learn your sleep patterns and conform. Even given all that - this is just soooo much better than what I had.

And the BEST PART?!?! - I got a plush with a 2" boxtop pillow top. What's that mean? It means that when I sit on the edge of the bed MY feet don't touch the ground. MY feet. Folks - I have a 37" inseam. I have never had to CLIMB into bed - ever, in my whole life. I felt like the Princess and the Pea when I got up this morning.

So I treated myself. I made the coffee, put it in my handy dandy carafe and grabbed a tray. I brought it all into my bed place and wallowed. For hours. I watched a movie, drank coffee and just basically felt very lazy. It was the PERFECT way to start a Sunday.

Irresponsible be damned. THIS was the exact right thing to do. Hell - I might even take me a nap this afternoon. Just for the excuse to climb back in!!!
