Buying A New Bed

I hate the process of buying a new bed. It is almost as bad as buying a new car...well no...worse.



How do you know if you are going to like something for the next 10 or more years? I purchased our current bed about 8 years ago (before Steve). Steve says he thinks it is still pretty comfy. I wake up every morning in horrible back pain. It got so bad right before I left for Florida I ended up at the chiropractor twice a day for a week. She suggested a new bed may be in order. Her recommendation was the Number Bed. The decision was made while I was away and woke up totally pain free after sleeping in the wonderful bed at the timeshare.



So off to the bed store Steve and I went on Saturday. We spent about 3 hours laying on different mattresses. I felt like Goldilocks in the 3 bears. The cool thing is that "Sleep America" has this new computer where they put all your particulars in and then you lay on a mattress and it tells you what the perfect firmness would be. Even with this new technology you still have to lay on different mattresses.



We finally agreed on one. It was delivered on Monday and it doesn't feel anything like it did in the store. The good news is I'm not in as much pain each morning as I was. I am going to give it another week or so and we will see.
