We should have done this years ago
Mu bought a new mattress this week, it arrived yesterday and we slept on it for the first time last night. Oh my word what a difference. The old one was basically worn out even though I only bought it 4.5 years ago when we first arrived in Canada. It sagged, it was shaped like a pair of valleys side by side, and we're both feeling some degree of lower back pain that may or may not be related. The new mattress is a latex foam one instead of sprung, and our bed frame is a platform without a box spring, so basically it's FIRM. And I love it! And so does Mu. Climbing onto the bed gives me a little thrill to feel the resistance instead of my knee sinking right in. Last night I felt like I was perched too high, felt like I was going to roll off the bed and fall on the floor because I'm not nestled in toa groove any more. I'm sure the feeling will pass. Hopefully it'll have a positive effect on our backs too...
