But Robb saw an ad for a memory foam mattress and got to thinking...
He went ahead and ordered the mattress for Meri without telling her. It arrived yesterday in a smallish box, so I wasn't very impressed with it. But he assured me that it was compressed to fit in the box and it would go back to the original size of a mattress in a little while.
It's similar to this one, only with a white cover.
In looking back now, we had gotten that mattress for Ryan's old bunk bed... 17 years ago... No wonder she complained... From what I recall, he did too over the years.
When it was time for Meri to go to bed, she balked. She hated her bed, she told us. She'd much rather go sleep on Maddy's trundle lower bed than sleep up in her loft! Actually she even prefers to sleep on an over-sized gymnastics mat that we got her in preschool on the floor... But Robb talked her into climbing up into bed anyway.
I almost blew the surprise by walking in on them and asking "So how did she like it?"
SSSSHHHHH!!!
As soon as she got to the top of the ladder, she started complaining about the mattress again. "I don't want to sleep up here. I hate my bed!! The sprin..."
"The spri..."
"Hey! This isn't my bed!!!"
Yes, yes it is...
Meri seemed thoroughly surprised! And she slept all night without waking up once.
It's always good to have a good night's sleep! I wonder what that's like...

Yep, there is a lot of air in those things! I love my son's foam mattress but hate mine. Silly I know but his is comfy and mine is hard :o(
Ditto LOL - maybe I need one too!!!
Memory foam is 'da bomb!
I'll never go back to a reg. mattress....
That's awesome! A great mattress makes all the difference :-)
Have a great weekend!

good for all of you! I know what you are talking about with the matressess...last week my husband was sick and coughing all night so in the middle of the night I went to sleep in my college daughters room. Oh my gosh! how did she ever even sleep on that?! she definitely needs that new mattress!!
When we first got married, the mattress we had kept us both rolled to the middle of the bed. I had no idea how bad it was until there was another body in the bed with me. We ended up getting a Sleep Number bed and love it. Shane likes a soft mattress and I like a firm one, so it works for us.
Maybe a memory foam mattress is what we need in the camper. I like that bed just fine, but Shane thinks it's too hard.
