For as long as I can remember I have always woken up feeling terrible. I always had disturbed sleep and found it difficult to get comfortable and to relax. I never thought that it could be an issue as simple as changing my mattress. I didn’t want to part with the cash I didn’t have for a new one so just put up with the spring one I had. I could feel the springs but I had always thought this was normal for a spring mattress. It wasn’t until I was pregnant that I decided it was time for a new mattress ready for co-sleeping. I didn’t however get around to deciding and buying a mattress until my third trimester was nearly over. In fact I had only had the mattress a week or so before my little boy arrived in the world.
It took me a while to settle on a mattress but I decided to go with a memory foam mattress. Specifically I went for a king memory foam mattress. I figured I would need the space for 3 people – or 2 adults and a small person. I really wanted to avoid springs altogether so made sure I didn’t go for a combo style foam mattress, which has a spring system as well.
When it arrived it did smell so we left it to air in the garage for a few days. Once it was in the bedroom it was fine and from that moment on I had beautiful sleep. It is such a shame I didn’t get it at the beginning of my pregnancy or before, as this would have been wonderful to help me feel comfortable while carrying a baby. The mattress is very supportive and I don’t sink into it but its comfortable and cosy. I love being snuggled up in bed. My son doesn’t move around on it when I move too – he stays put.
I have now had this mattress for over 4 years and can say it is one of the best purchasing decisions I have made. It still gives me a great night’s sleep. I think the best advice I can give for someone having difficulty sleeping is to try out and new mattress. Don’t even hesitate about buying a new one. Shop around and try different ones out, read reviews and then find the one you have your heart on cheaper online. It is well worth it, particularly when you realize how much time you actually spend on a mattress overall in your life.
