Just over ten years ago, Dear Man and I purhcased a Select Comfort bed. I was certain that I liked a firmer mattress then he did and he was adament that he needed something softer. The Select Comfort was able to give us both what we wanted. Interestingly enough our favorite setting for our own side of the bed just happened to be the same number! No matter, we were both happy and knew that on any given night we could make our bed softer or harder depending on what we wanted.
One night in a fit of anger towards Dear Man I deflated his side of the bed while he was sleeping. Bravely as ever, he put me in my place by pretending not to notice and slept on that flat bed the whole night. He was not going to give in to my childish games.
After our last move we think somehow that we damaged the pump that fills our beds with air. Dear Man's side of the bed kept deflating. He began to blame me. I explained that I had nothing to do with it but I could tell he wasn't ready to believe me. That's what childish games do. Leave lasting impressions. Finally after some exploring and experiments Dear Man had to conclude that there was something wrong with the pump. Although he did remark that he thought it was interesting that "his" side of the bed was the one with the problem. (Don't worry, he said this with a grin on his face.)
At any rate all of this has caused some serious sleep issues. Dear Man's back hurt and he could never get a good nights sleep. Even though my side of the bed was behaving itself, I'd still roll into the pit on Dear Man's side causing him to think I was crowding him out. It's no fun sleeping on a grumpy, sleep deprived man in a pit, with my feet higher than my head.
We tried seveal differnent ideas to build up his side of the bed but none of them worked. We could have bought a new pump and hoped that it would fix our problem but we decided instead to get a different bed. The beginning of our shopping had me voting for a firmer mattress but by the end of the day all the beds were beginning to feel the same and we opted for a softer pillow top version. I figure it's ok seeing as I was so tired I almost fell asleep. I did mention to the salesman that I thought slumber parties for mattress buyers might be a good idea.
We finally made our purchase and our bed will be delivered in a few days. We are now anxiously counting down the days until we can both enjoy a good nights sleep. I even dreamed about our new bed last night in the few hours I managed to remain asleep!
If once again this blog is void of new posts don't worry it hasn't died, it's just gone dormant as I've decided to hibernate through the rest of winter. |
