Getting My Z's

What is it about your bed that you love? My bed is a crappy bed, yet when I'm away from it for even one night I can't wait to be back sleeping in it.

My bed was given to me from my mom and dad as a housewarming gift. Bless their hearts. But the matress is terrible. My husband and I have been sleeping in this bed for almost 8 years. We've carved out our body shapes into each side of the bed. We complain every morning about getting a new matress. I've tried quilted matress pads, egg crate foam pads, memory foam pads. Nothing has changed my first morning thought, "We need a new bed." I've resorted to sleeping "upside down" on my side of the bed. Meaning, my head is at the foot of the bed. I'm lying to myself by thinking I sleep better this way. I don't, I just like to think I do.

I just spent an entire weekend away from my crappy, slouchy, spring coiled bed. I've slept in heavenly bliss last night. Yet I woke with the thought, "I can't wait until we get a new bed."
