On Christmas and mattresses
This morning was quiet, the kidlets and their respective sweeties both being in other parts of the state. I think ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
davetrow and I have reached the age and stage of really not wanting more stuff in our lives. However, it does occur to me that we did give ourselves a truly marvelous holiday gift (besides the earth-stopping, melting kiss in the kitchen last night). We took some of the payment from a big work project and bought a new mattress.
Our old mattress had been Dave's, so it was at least 20 years old, and we'd been both grousing about it causing various aches and pains. We have different needs in a mattress, so we went shopping for one which would be an acceptable compromise. In the end, we had one made for us by a small local company. Dave preferred memory foam and I needed softness, so they built one for us that was both cushiony and supportive. It took a couple of weeks to really get used to the solidity of the memory foam, but has contributed significantly to both of us resting well. Just think of that -- we'll have years and years of good sleep. What a gift!
