It’s a beautifully sunny day and not too warm. And I finally have my new mattress.
Yay!
No more sunken center. No more camping mattress on top.
Once again, yay.
The thing is with this mattress, I couldn’t try it. It wasn’t available in the store to test out, and even if you lie on a mattress in a store for five minutes or ten minutes you still have no idea what it will feel like.
I tried out my previous mattress that tried to kill me. That was a bad mattress from the start. But it felt fine in the store.
So I did what I do, I researched. I looked at the full set of options for mattresses and narrowed it down to a hybrid.
And then from there I read review after review, article after article, suggestion after suggestion. Winnowing winnowing until I found this one.
And then I watched the price.
This is not how we are “supposed” to buy a mattress, but the pandemic changed everything. Now it’s skewed more toward this kind of a purchase than an in-store one. Even the return policies reflect it; you can try it for 120 days and see how it goes.
I’ve tested it out as long as I would have in a mattress store, maybe longer because there’s no watching salesman making the whole ordeal awkward, and I would have picked it on that alone.
So there we go.
New ways of doing things are only that: new ways. The old ways aren’t always better or worse, sometimes they’re just different.
There was no possibility of doing this the old way. So I did it the new way.
And I think I’ll sleep well, literally and figuratively.
Have a great Wednesday.
