New bed

Since after Christmas, Jeremie has pretty much been sleeping in the theatre room (he hurt his back). Every time he tried to sleep in our bed, he'd be in so much pain. And my back has been worse. With Jeremie not sleeping in our bed, I've been sleeping in the small strip in the middle that is still firm. Let me take you back a little: seven years ago when we bought this house, we bought the Costco version of the Tempurpedic. It was $600 for a queen, and we loved it...for the first four years. It's not the same material as the Tempurpedic so it apparently breaks down and loses its recovery ability. We are broke. For those who read this who may not know, we has to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy three years ago. So we haven't been able to save any money. And with no credit cards, it's been a difficult three years. But we were able to keep the house as long as we still can make the payment. Same with our car. We chose to keep the house because we would never be able to qualify for a loan at 4.75% again. We managed to save up some money for a bed. But we didn't want a spring mattress since Jeremie is a bouncer when he rolls over, and it would wake me every time. We've actually been wanting a Sleep Number bed but the one we want is $2800+. And there is no way we'd be able to afford it. So yesterday we decided to just go LOOK at Tempurpedic beds. I told Jeremie that we can't lay in one or else we'll be hooked. That's exactly what happened. Still, the bed we got is the Contour. It's one of the firmest. We dropped $1800 on a mattress yesterday. At least they delivered it a couple hours later. But these beds have to off-gas for a long time so it smells like a print shop. We slept on it last night. I warned Jeremie that it may take a few days to get used to the new bed. Well, I had a hard time sleeping. Mostly because I've been sleeping by myself for 5 months. That and he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. And he snores. If I'm asleep first, his snoring doesn't wake me. My back hurts pretty bad this morning. I really hope I get used to that expensive bed soon. Jeremie's back, you ask? Well, it's almost 10 a.m. and he's still sleeping. I think his back feels just fine.
