…and a new mattress, to be completely specific.  The wife and I spent part of the afternoon looking at mattresses, and discovered something interesting:  despite the fact that we cannot agree on a mattress in a store, generally because she wants things too soft for me and I want things too firm for her, when we actually went to the Sleep Number place our preferred Sleep Numbers were only about 5 or 10 apart.

I cannot explain this.  Our current mattress, which we’ve had for seven years, is starting to need rotation far too often, and while a new bed isn’t a huge priority right now it’s bubbling up a bit more often than it used to.  I would like to stop having to take ibuprofen before bed, although that’s less for the jimmylegs than for strictly mattress-related stuff.

Thing is, Sleep Number beds are a bit on the expensive side, especially when you’re dealing with a King-size mattress, which is what we have.  I don’t want to drop that kind of money without at least a couple of people giving me first-hand commentary.

Anybody out there have a Sleep Number bed and want to share about it?
