I demand that everything conforms to my ass.

We spent today looking for a new bed as my vintage 2004 Ikea is starting to pop springs and frankly no one wants a spring up their ass while they try to sleep. I have been sleeping like shit lately, tossing and turning because the bed makes my whole body ache, trying to find a position that’s slightly comfortable for a short while, and an hour later, I’m up and flipping around again.

Our new bed journey started at Sleep Number, to figure out what we were looking for in terms of firmness level–we’re a 35 and a 45, respectively, so we both want something more on the plush side. The Sleep Number guy really tried to get us to take the plunge today, but we wanted to go try some other beds and see how we liked them. This decision would be much easier if we were allowed to determine maximum comfort levels by taking off our pants, but as it turns out, that’s something that’s frowned upon in most retail establishments.

After flipping in and out of about fifty beds, we found one at Sleep Country that was just about perfect. I ended up laying half on the bed and half on Jason and moaned “Oh god, I’m so comfortable, I think I’m gonna drool.”

“You just go ahead and drool, baby.”

    I like a bed that conforms to my ass and hips, so I went with memory foam!

    I love my sleep # bed but that’s because I have to switch firmness often. Sometimes their salespeople can lay it on thick and they are not cheap beds. I’m glad you found the perfect one though!!

      That’s what the sales employee told us, that the bed was designed with pregnant women in mind because of how their bodies change. 🙂

      They’re not cheap beds, but the midline one isn’t really much more expensive than any good mattress/box spring set, and considering it’s warrantied for twenty years, it’s actually a good deal.

        lol we actually got our in 2007 after our awful car wreck because both of our existing mattress hurt us after the accident. We got the mattress shortly after I moved in because his mattress hurt and I couldn’t take it anymore lol. But it’s been useful for my pregnancies too

    I don’t know, I am sure there are some people who can’t go to sleep without a spring up their ass!
