In The Market for a Mattress

It?s funny.  If you sit down and do the math, we?re supposed to get 7 hours of sleep a night.  That?s 49 hours of sleep a week, roughly 210 hours of sleep a month, and 2,555 hours of sleep a year.

We spend 29% of our time sleeping?and most of that on a mattress, but when we go to buy a mattress we try to save as much money as we can.

We?re laying on that mattress longer than we?re in our car (for most people) and yet we skimp here.  We?re probably not playing our Wii as long as we?re sleeping, and yet we?ll go all out? well, I think you?ve got the hint.

We purchased our Mattress and box spring back when we were married in 2001.  We didn?t know much about Mattresses, except for their price.  And back then, we were trying to save money.

Seven years and multiple flips of the Mattress later, and it?s time to start looking into getting something new?something fresh.  And technology has changed.

That?s why, this past Friday while my wife and son were in with the witchdoctor Chiropractor, my other children and I went next store to a mattress place and started to ask some questions.

There are so many options now, from foam to latex, from big springs to little, from air to water to foam!  How to find what?s best, and how to balance the cost and feeling?

What kind of mattress do you sleep on?  Do you like it?
