Duh...

I was sitting here in bed wondering which amazing item I should post about next when all of the sudden it hit me! Duh...my bed!!! We purchased the NovaForm memory foam mattress from Costco 2 and half years ago and we still love it!! We paid somewhere around $650 in the store for it (king size).  Saying we love it is a total understatement. Our previous bed cost us over $1200 and lasted less than 2 years....now we had it for longer than that but it only 'lasted' for about 2 years before it became the "taco bed." This happens when the pillow top collapses and leaves two big indentations where you sleep...hence the feeling like you are sleeping in a taco.  When I was pregnant with the Adorable Little Girl I had to throw my leg over the side to help give me enough momentum to get out of my 'taco'.  It was awful.  It was not however my misery while prego' that got us the new bed...it actually happened when she was born...we were in the hospital that first night and she sort of started to cry so Buff-Tuff Man got up to pick her up out of the bassinet thingy they had her in and WHAM his back totally seized up. He has her picked half-way up and I (having delivered a baby less than 10 hours prior) have to get up and take the baby and then help him back to the futon thing he had been sleeping on and give HIM a back massage!!We got the new mattress pretty much right after I got out of the hospital; best investment EVER!! (I am sure I will say that about many things but seriously...BEST EVER!! Oh ya, and someday I will totally get pay back for that massage...)

Now I know everyone has their preference for mattresses but we tried the soft bed because lets face it, when you lay on that thick pillow top in the show room it feels like heaven.  Then after a few weeks of such dismal back support your back decides to revolt and you spend the next eternity searching out a good Chiropractor (if you live in the KCMO area his name is Richard Emery and he works MIRACLES). Anywho....so we decided to give the memory foam a try, and who can afford a tempurpedic???!!! So we thought, "lets give Costco a try...if we hate it we can always return it right?"  It was an instant success...there will be no refunds here!!
