Your Mattress Calls the Shots
I fully believe that how well you sleep has more to do with your mattress than anything else.
Years and years ago, right after I graduated from college, I got a second-hand mattress from a friend that was 100% foam. It was just this massive, thick slab of fairly firm foam. I slept so well. In fact, on days when I was tired, I would be in the car driving home and just have these longing feelings for my bed.
When I moved to DC, I was unsure where I would be living and I actually did end up sleeping on a friend’s couch for a year. Before all that, I got rid of most of my belongings. I gave my mattress to a married couple I was friends with. They had a terrible mattress. When I would see them after that, they would gloat a little about how well they were sleeping.
To this day, I miss that foam mattress. Now, I have a pillow top. I’m sleeping on a single right now, but I have an even better pillow top in storage. It’s a King and won’t really fit where I am living right now, but I’ve learned my lesson. When you have an awesome mattress, don’t just give the thing away!
Of course, if I find a fully foam mattress I like and can afford in the near future, that King I have in storage in up for grabs.
