Myself, on the other hand...require a soft, squishy layer of gentle cloud to sleep on! (no exaggeration). Remember the good old days...when you slept in an iron bed..with a metal spring? Well I do. And very comfortably I might add. But things have changed...and so has the complexity of buying the "right" mattress.
In July of last year...we purchased a new mattress and box spring...a very good brand name...and the salesman assured me, since all they sold was beds...he knew the exact mattress I would require.
Not. For anyone who has osteoarthritis and compressed discs in their spine will understand living with chronic pain and how detrimental finding the perfect sleep set is.
Mattress # 1...horrible for me to sleep on. I require a mattress that conforms to my hips and lower back..sounds easy enough...and all the advertisements claim particular mattresses do that. But, in my case, that is not the case.
Mattress #1 was exchanged...and we have been peacefully snoozing on Mattress # 2. Until this...
Can you see it? A large "roll" in under the fabric! Woke up during the night...felt like I was sleeping on a rolled up bath towel! No attempt to smooth it out helped. It was bumpy enough...you could see it even after the bed was made!! You would think Liesel was snoozing under the blankets!! (she has her own bed...btw).
These photos were taken to submit a warranty claim...which thankfully is a lifetime warranty!
We received word last week our claim had been approved and were provided with a number to take to the mattress store and chose a new mattress. Now after the trials and tribulations of replacing our original Kingsdown mattress..I was not looking forward to going through the ordeal again. However, after being assured Sealy, the manufacturer of this mattress has addressed the issue of the mattress "bunching up", we went with their updated, new and improved version.
Delivery for Mattress #3 is scheduled for tomorrow...when they will pick up Mattress #2 at the same time. Certain criteria must be met for a warranty claim...the warranty tag must still be attached to the mattress, a proper bed frame must be used...and of course the mattress must be clean. Check, check and check. I use not one....but two good quality, dust mite deterrent mattress protectors, laundered weekly & vacuum the mattress often as well.
Keeping fingers crossed this new mattress will be the last for at least 10 years!
