clockworkpixel "Ok, maybe not quite. However in my bedroom right now is a brand new full size pillow top mattress. The first new mattress I've had in my adult life. The first mattress that wasn't the one I grew up on, or my sister's old one, or whatever. Its one without a ditch in the mdidle, and worn out padding.
It was a bit more than I had budgeted for ($635 with tax) but when I flopped on it in the store and was immediately comfortable I knew it was the right one (I'd tried at least a dozen other cheaper & pricer ones before that with no luck).
So I'm hoping this will help my shoulder issues, and improve my sleeping. I had been waffling over using the mattress money to pay off a slew of unexpected expenses. However I decided new decent mattress would provide longer term improvement to my life than getting out of a (fairly minor) debt hole.
The Alley cat is taking my old mattress (which is an improvement over the couch she's been sleeping on). I was very amused at realizing that owning a car and living on my own don't make me feel that grown up. But carefully removing and storing the plastic bags the mattress came in because I'll need them if I turn out to have any problems in the first 30days and want to return it, that made me feel very much like an adult."

congratulations!
