the best bed ever

The hub and I are big believers that your bed should be as comfortable as humanly possible. We spend (hopefully) eight hours a night in it, so a third of our lives is spent in bed. When we went on our honeymoon to Casa Laguna in Laguna Beach, California, we had the most comfortable bed we'd ever slept in. And that's a big feat for us, since he likes the mattress firm and I'd sleep on a pile of cotton balls if given my way. So, when it came to getting a new bed that year, we did the sane thing. We called the Casa Laguna and asked them what kind of bed was in the Laguna Suite. Unfortunately for us, the mattresses are handmade in Europe. And for only $6000, it could be ours, since they do in fact sell them. Um, no. But the featherbed on top of the $6000 mattress was from America, and only cost $100. Sold.

So we bought a firmer mattress and ordered the featherbed (from Pacific Coast if you want one, and they do carry them at Costco now). And that featherbed was heaven. But, that was five whole years ago. Over those five years, the feathers got smooshed down, fluffing the featherbed didn't keep it fluffy, and eventually it looked like there was someone sleeping in the middle of the bed because each of our sides had dents. The featherbed wasn't working anymore. And I didn't want to blow money on a new mattress so we checked out the tempur-pedic mattress toppers, at the suggestion of Memaw and PawPaw.

Yes! I've only laid on it for a couple of minutes today, but that mattress topper is awesome! You know who else thinks so? The girl who spent the afternoon "climbing" the mattress topper...
