Recently we've been discussing how we want people to always feel like they can come and stay with us. However, we also realized that our guest mattress is....well quite quite old. We received that mattress from Scott and Lori when we got married and were so grateful for it. We used it for the first few years we were married before we moved into our house. Since then it has been used as our guest bed. Scott and Lori had it for at least 15 years (if not more) and then we used it, so the bed is at least 25 years old. We are so grateful that Scott and Lori gave it to us and it was so nice.
However, we decided it might be nice to have a more comfortable mattress for our guests. In addition, my brother Michael is going to be needing a mattress and he said he could use that one. Meanwhile, our mattress is about 8 years old. It is still good, but we'd rather move it to the guest bedroom while it is still good, rather than wait a few years until it is really too worn. All these led to us deciding to get a new mattress.
We had a ton of discussions and looked at a lot of different things. In the end, we figured out that we don't actually like memory foam. We also really like the idea of getting to try the mattress out for 100 days to make sure we really like it. We went to the purple store (a really popular brand that just ships to your house) and really liked the bed. We also tried RC Willey, but all the beds we thought were comfortable, were at least as much as the purple mattress (or more), but without the free returns. We decided the purple mattress would be the best bet to try. We also figured out that we thought an adjustable base would be really nice to have. In particular, sometimes my breathing at night is not the best and we thought it would help to be able to raise the head. So we found a good price for an adjustable base and ordered that too. It also made sense, because with the purple mattress we were going to need a new base anyway, for at least $200, so it was only a few hundred more dollars to get the adjustable base. We were able to use the 2nd COVID-19 stimulus package money to get it.
It finally all arrived and were were so excited to set it up.
