My wife and I have had the same mattress for almost 10 years and we’ve been thinking for quite a while that is was time for a change. The question was: What was the change? Water bed? Sleep number bed? Sealy Posturepedic? Swedish Tempur-Pedic? Today we decided: The change would be a memory foam mattress — a “generic” version of the Swedish Tempurpedic.<\/p>\n
What clinched it?\u00c2\u00a0 A good discounted price.\u00c2\u00a0 We were out in Hutchinson, MN this afternoon and found that Pam’s Furniture Store, a huge discount furniture store, is having a going out of business sale. One of the things on sale was memory foam mattresses — almost $200 off the original price. In fact, since it was their “house brand”, it was about half as much as the Swedish Tempur-Pedic we’ve looked at previously. After lounging on one for 15 minutes in the store, we decided we couldn’t resist. We bought one. I think it’ll be great. As I write this, my wife is already sound asleep on it, as is Emmet the Labrador<\/a>. I’ll be next. Here’s to hoping for some blissful sleep on a memory foam bed.<\/p>\n –Pete<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My wife and I have had the same mattress for almost 10 years and we’ve been thinking for quite a while that is was time for a change.
