Hopefully the end of the bed drama.

Not sure if I have posted on this before or not, but it seems like since day 1, we have had nothing but drama when it concerns our bed (mattress). When we first got the house we got a new mattress (2008). We did not go bottom-of-the-line, but also did not go overboard. A month after we had it, it was caving in at the top (some sort of "defect") so they came out, confirmed and replaced it. It was a good thing they replaced it, for it just happened to have a huge hole in it where Bambi decided to eat it. They overlooked that and did not seem to care. Knowing that brand and mattress, we replaced it with a more expensive, well-known brand name mattress. And, it is a pillow-top. I highly recommend not getting a pillow top, for they all seem to have these sorts of problems, and you cannot flip them. So, maybe a year-ish went by and it was great at first and then we noticed these indentations where we slept. Now, I am not saying we are twigs, but we are also not hippos so I just could not understand why this was happening. We got them to come out as the pain started occurring... we would wake up in pain and it just started taking a hit on us. We were just shy of the measurement to get us under warranty (I think it was 1in + and it has to be more than 2inches). So with some of the refund money from 2010 taxes, we went and got a 2-in thick memory foam mattress topper. This instantly helped, but after a few months, it started sinking in to the divots. We were going to call them back out after a few months, then William's knee fiasco happened and one day I woke up in so much pain that I just decided to give it a try calling them out again. This time, they measured 2 1/2 inches deep. Our valleys in the bed were 2 1/2 inches! So, they called us and we went to go look at a new mattress. We knew we did not want a spring mattress, much less a pillow top. We wanted a Tempur-pedic but when we looked at beds last (beginning of 2011) we saw they had come out with similar product line for Serta. The thing that was even better is that it has a cooling gel layer (Tempur-pedics can make it hot and you sweaty due to the material). So, we went with this guy...



Serta iComfort. It has been out for a few years and supposedly the same guy who came up with the Tempur technology helped develop this bed (don't know if that is accurate, but that is what we heard). Either way, it feels just like the Tempur-pedic except it is not as expensive. So, all we had to do was pay the difference and delivery! We are so thankful that this was able to be worked out and praying that this is the last mattress we have for a long while!
