New Bed

My old bed had a rich history. I bought it in Seattle at Macy's on sale for 500$ and had it delivered to my apartment. I felt very grown up. Even though I didn't have a car and had to take the bus to the store. It lasted perhaps three years before the combined weight of me and my fiance made it sag in the middle. Which gave me no end of back problems. Eventually my friend moved and gave me her bed frame that she had bought at Ikia for under a hundred dollars. For some reason having the bed higher helped but not enough.

Then she decided to go to China and she gave me her old mattress, which was better than mine. I kept the box spring though and she had a board that I slid inbetween the box spring an dthe top mattress. This helped a lot with the sagging in the middle. And so for years my bed was really mostly hers. Except for the box spring.

But this year I noticed that my back was starting to hurt again and the bed sags noticeably in the middle and along the edge where I climb off every morning. So my mom made a comment and I thought about it and eventually I agreed that she was right that I needed a new bed. But she didn't want to get me one that had all those flame retardents on it.

We did some research online. Turns out the kind of bed that was good for your back and didn't have the nasty flame retardant stuff that might aggravate my allergies were the most expensive beds. I'm so high maintenance.

But she bought it anyways. We went down to Higgens and bought a brand new Tempur-pedic cloud supreme bed. And boy is it supreme. I love it. The cool thing is it should last for 20 years. I won't have to go bed shopping for ages.
