Yesterday, the HH and I were putting the new bed together next door {what a chore that was!} and we started talking about mattresses and how when we were kids there weren’t as many choices as there are today.
And, how mattresses back then seemed to last FOREVER. And they were cheap too.
Or maybe it just seemed that way because neither of us paid any attention to things like that when we were young.
In fact I remember the first mattress the HH and I owned was a used mattress that my Grandmother bought for us at a yard sale for $50.
And we didn’t think anything of it because hey… It was clean, something to sleep on and when you’re young and have extremely limited funds a used mattress is better than sleeping on a hard floor, right?
But times have changed and we’re fancy folk now and we buy new mattresses and last year we bought a Leesa original foam mattress when it went on sale.
It’s been such a comfortable mattress, {not too soft, not too hard} that when they recently went on sale again, we decided to buy one for the guest bedroom.
I don’t know why, but it seems crazy to me that a bed so comfortable can be shipped in such a small box. And that it is made from foam!
All you have to do is remove the packaging and let it expand. It doesn’t get any easier than that if you ask me.
In a time where there are so many choices when it comes to mattresses, I’m so glad we found one we both like.
What kind of mattress do you sleep on? A traditional bed with wire springs? A foam mattress? An adjustable one? An uber fancy Shetland wool and horsetail mattress? 😉
Curious minds want to know.

Pretty cool if you ask me. Peace out.
