New Mattress


Buying a new mattress was one of those very grown up purchases that we just kept pushing further and further down the priority list.  We moved into our house about five and half years ago.  In the process of buying furniture and moving in we obviously couldn’t afford to tackle everything we wanted to so we opted to take my parents offer and take two extra twin beds they had to push together to make a king sized bed.  This was really intended to be a short term plan.  We quickly found out as homeowners there is always something on the list to do next.  We found tackling the $50 or $100 items to be much more palatable so that is what we did. 

Finally this year we decided was the year of the new mattress.  We planned to make it a joint Christmas gift since it is such a large purchase but a fundraising opportunity for Kyle’s school came up and we decided to go ahead and bite the bullet.  Best. Decision. Ever!

After only a few nights on the new mattress it’s hard to imagine we spent so much time living with the mediocrity of our old twin mattresses.  It is always so wonderful not to have a bed butt crack!  Sometimes being a grown up is stressful but sometimes it’s wonderful, the new mattress definitely goes in the winning column!

  1. Well, finally, you got a new mattress. It’s much comfortable to sleep on a single mattress than two combined mattresses, right? Plus, the feeling of sleeping on a new bed is so good. I hope you bought a good quality mattress, so that it can last until 10 years, which is the basic lifespan of a mattress. Enjoy sleeping on it! :) ->Aniyah Bautista

  2. What a nice present for the holidays! I agree with your comparison with the new and old mattress of yours. You could only see the differences, like how bad the old one feels on your back, once you have the new one. Having a great mattress is a good investment, especially for people who work hard. I bet you are a hard worker. It's one way of giving ourselves a good treat after a long day of working.
