My young kids can sleep anywhere. They don’t need a top-dollar mattress in order to feel comfortable. In fact, when we sleep at a friend’s house, they sometimes are okay sleeping on the floor with nothing more than a thick quilt to cushion them. I remember being the same way not too long ago. My brothers and I would sleep out in the yard almost every night of the summer, and all we needed was a sleeping bag to keep us warm. I never woke up then with kinks in my neck or back pain, but lately I have, and I’m sleeping inside on an expensive mattress. Rare is the night that I don’t wake up with some sort of lingering pain. I am beginning to face the sad reality that I am not as young as I once was. I need a new mattress set, and I think that I will give a waterbed mattress a try.
I have always heard good things about waterbed mattresses, and I can’t see how anything could be worse than what I have been dealing with. I want whatever I buy to be good, so I have been doing a lot of research. One of the best things I have heard about using a waterbed mattress is that they have no springs. I know that my internal-spring mattress’ springs can create uncomfortable pressure points. It also has a big valley in the center. Whenever I am not sleeping in the groove I have made with frequent use, I feel like I am sleeping on a slippery slope, and I eventually end up in the groove anyway. A waterbed mattress will not have a groove ever. I don’t like being forced into sleeping on my mattress in only one spot.
I want to be able to sleep on my bed in whatever position feels comfortable. A waterbed will give me the option to choose a different position or a different spot depending on how I feel on a given night. Box spring mattresses have boxed me into a corner for long enough. It is time that I make a play for my sleeping freedom and trade in the old internal spring for something more comfortable. I have been paying the price at work and elsewhere due to the lack of restful sleep that I get from my box spring. I hate waking up tired and feeling like I never get going. I feel like my productivity suffers because I carry a sort of fog with me throughout my day. When I get a really bad kink in my neck, it can throw my whole day off. I don’t feel like doing anything. Not even lying down feels like an option since lying down on my bed only seems to tie me up in worse knots.
I want to feel young again, at least during the day time. I want to feel energetic and youthful after a solid, sound, restful night’s sleep, and I am becoming more and more convinced that this will only be the case if I am able to sleep on a water bed. I wouldn’t say that I am a mattress expert. After all, I really haven’t tried too many differently types of mattresses in my day, but I know that what I have been sleeping on doesn’t work. Gone are the days when I could lie down anywhere and still sleep soundly. I am looking forward to abandoning my internal spring mattress for the comfort of a springless waterbed. I honestly don’t feel like I am about to desert an old friend as I give up my old mattress since a friend wouldn’t stab me in the back with worn out springs. Good bye internal spring mattress; I am ready to get to know a new waterbed mattress.
