I bought a new mattress and box springs for my bed last year. The old mattress was one of the firm ones, and it was about 8 years old. It had seen better days. In fact, it was almost impossible for me to get a good night’s sleep, because it felt like I was laying on a slab of concrete. When I bought the new house and started moving, I threw the old mattress out to the curb for the garbage man to pick up. I figured it would be easy enough to just go buy a new one.
I went to The Bed Store and just fell in love with a memory foam mattress by Valor. Unfortunately, there were none in stock, and I had to wait several days for it to be delivered. So there I was in a new house - sleeping on the floor! But man oh man, was that mattress worth the wait! It’s so thick that it requires oversized sheets. And it’s like sleeping on a cloud!

I remember seeing that stuff at the mattress store. It said NASA scientists invented it, which intrigued me. But I laid down on it and it was way too soft for me. I like fairly firm mattresses, though with a soft pillowish top.
