O_O I slept on a couch for a single summer once and it did HORRID things to my back and neck.

I'm impressed that you had survived fourteen years as well as you have!

Is your new bedthing really comfy? What was it like finally being able to spread out? ^_^

Sleeping on couches really depends a lot on the couches in question. Her couch was long enough and deep enough that it makes more sense. Think something closer to a long twin sized bed with back and arm rests. It was probably a little narrower, but not all that much.

But still, after 14 years, it's probably not offering support like it used to.

Indeed! I tend to switch out beds every six years or so. But then I'm used to futons that get work rather quickly, probably due to the lack of a box spring.

I used to buy really hard super hard hard hard firm beds, because I'd always been told they were good for your back. Then when I was bed shopping for a new one, my brother (who is a chiropractor) told me I should get something that has good support, but also has a lot of cushioning. And he was so right. I haven't had nearly the problems since the new bed (which is one of the high end Sealy's with that laytex foam).

My first [traditional cotton batting style] futon mattress was absolutely wonderful, lasted me well over 10 years. It was the best possible combination of resilient and conforming; my arm never went to sleep, etc.

My second [one of those modern foam core] broke down within a year. As in "huge hollows where people lie in the bed" kind of broken. :(

Ah! Well that makes my mental image quite a bit more comfortable. My unfortunate couch sleepign experience involved one that was much narrower.
