My Quest For The Perfect Mattress

It seems to me like everyone I have talked to lately has had the same problem my wife and I did in finding a mattress we both liked so I thought I would write about our experiences.

We had a mattress that was about 15 years old and had that sag in the middle. You know the one where if you lay on your side youâ€ll roll backwards into each other?

We decided it was time to get a new mattress so we went to our local furniture store and tried several different models from all the top names. After spending so much time "sleeping" on them to the point of the salespeople asking us for our breakfast order we decided on a Simmons Beautyrest and it was promptly delivered to our home.

It was extra firm and you could not feel the other person move around which was definitely a big plus. But, after trying the mattress for several weeks and waking up stiff and sore we felt it was too hard and asked for a replacement.

Since this was a store where we did a lot of business they obliged and we got a Serta Perfect Sleeper pillow top thinking that the extra cushion would help prevent that morning stiffness.

Well, the Serta turned out to be too soft and we never did get used to it. After several months we saw an ad for the Select Comfort Air Bed and I told my wife to" get ready because weâ€re headed to the mall" where there was a Select Comfort store.

After spending close to an hour trying the bed out and playing with all of the settings we were sold. Now we only had to wait a few weeks for delivery and we would be set and finally able to sleep peacefully.

The mattress came in several boxes and set-up was simple. At last, we were going to sleep comfortably! Well, once again we never did get used to the Select Comfort. Either it was too hard or too soft and it kind of felt like an air mattress that we used to use when we stayed at my sisterâ€s over the holidays so we sent it back. The remote control was kind of neat though.

The re-packing process was pretty difficult and I had to call the company to figure out how to get everything to fit back in the boxes as the main "mattress" was originally vacuum packed into a compact bag and now was much bigger and bulkier.

We went back to our old Serta still longing for a good nights sleep when we finally decided to try the mattress of last resort, the Tempurpedic Memory Foam mattress. I had used a Tempurpedic pillow for years and absolutely loved it but I was put off by the high price of the mattress. We decided that if it worked it would be well worth the money so we ordered one (this was before you could buy them in stores) and were pretty excited when it came.

After a few weeks we noticed we were having slight backaches in the morning so we called the company and a representative said that was common if you slept on your side (which we do) and that it would go away after awhile.

It took some time but eventually the pain did go away and we now love our Tempurpedic! You never have to flip it, dust mites canâ€t live in it and it lasts for at least 20 years.

I really like it best in the winter as it gets firm when itâ€s colder and then your body just nestles in nice and cozy as your body heat softens the mattress. In the summertime itâ€s definitely softer but still much better than any other mattress we have ever slept on.

If you are on a quest like we were for the perfect nightâ€s sleep do yourself a big favor and try the Tempurpedic Memory Foam mattress. Hey, if you donâ€t like it you can always send it back but Iâ€m guessing youâ€re going to love it too.

Convertible Sofas are Heavy but Worth it

Convertible sofas? When I first heard about these furniture wonders of the modern world, I honestly didn't know what to make of it. I knew that a convertible is a type of car. I get it that there is no roof and all that. I also know what a sofa is. A couch, right? But somehow, putting the two words together just didn't register anything in my head. But I'm a relatively bright person, so before long I had it all figured out. Convertible didn't refer to something not having a top, but to something that can "convert" from one thing to another. See the light coming on?

4 Attributes of Quality Computer Desks

The history of desks is long and varied. Desks have been used as both functional pieces of furniture by the working class and monks and decorative pieces used by royalty themselves and their clerks. As desks have evolved, they have done so both to increase function and to be pleasing to the eye. But the most recent and newest style of desk, for which there was no use 30 years ago, is the computer desk. Using a desk for a computer instead of clerical purposes has called for a lot of design modifications. Let's face it, we do not need a lot of small cubby holes and paper slots anymore.
