New mattress!

Here it is!


We've lived in our home for nearly 13 years and recently my bed had been making me sooo uncomfortable. I tossed and turned pretty much every night. I'd wake up with backaches. It was getting bad. I mentioned to my husband that the year we moved in here was the same year we got our bed/mattress. He didn't realize it had been that long. So we started researching the Tempur-Pedic line of mattresses. I'd always wondered what the Tempur-Pedic mattress would be like. I'd heard a lot of "good" about it. So we were on a mission to get one.

After "testing" three different versions of the Tempur-Pedic (in the store), we ended up getting a Tempur-Pedic Deluxe Mattress. It was the "mid-range" mattress of the three that they had. Not too hard, not too soft. :o) Waaaay different than a traditional mattress! It's definitely going to take some getting use to. I would describe it as a cross between laying on a big Jell-O jiggler (without the jiggling) and a mound of mashed potatoes...LOL....it's firm, yet when you lay down, it molds to your body.


I did notice that when my husband would turn or even when he got out of bed that I didn't "feel" when he moved or got out of bed. There was no bouncing or moving at all. It was awesome! I think once I get use to it, I'll sleep pretty good. OH, and also once I get my Tempur-Pedic pillow.....we were suppose to get two with the purchase of our mattress, but they only had one in stock, so I was nice and let my husband have the first one. :o)


Although, once I DO get my new pillow, I'll probably have a few more nights of "getting use to" the pillow after already getting use to the mattress.....UGH! LOL :o)
