I guess I'm getting old; new mattress time.

I remember back in the days I could sleep on rocks on a mountainside and get a good night's sleep. Now I'm more like "The Princess and the Pea". I ordered a memory foam top, hoping it helps.

After a week or so of sleeping on it, I think it was a good purchase. It is firmer than what I like, but my body is slowly adjusting to it.

I've had a sciatic nerve issue in my left hip area for about a month now that the old mattress seemed to be exacerbating. Now I wake up and I'm pain free and sleep like a log through the night, not moving at all. But as soon as I get out of bed and start moving, the pain comes back. I need to go to a chiropractor. My girlfriend is getting impatient with me griping about the pain and is about at the end of her rope in telling me to make an appointment.

But the bed stand, a Zinus 14" steel version, is rock solid. The old mattress was on a box spring and traditional metal frame and when I came to bed at 0400 (I work graveyard) it would squeak and move and wake my girlfriend up. The new set up is absolutely solid and quiet and she sleeps through me getting in or out of bed. She also said it is very comfortable and loves it.

For the price of a Glock, it was a good investment. Funny how these days I gauge a purchase by what firearm I could buy with the money.
