We finally have a new mattress, yay! I have been wanting a new one since I moved in with Jim (so, for 8 years). We kept saying that we’ll buy a new one once we move to a house. But, we’re not moving to a house anytime soon, the house plans have been postponed and postponed and years just go by. My back and neck has been killing me and I have been sleeping terribly for years
(ok, part of the reason is that we have 8 lbs of fluff in bed with us who likes to take my space and likes to kick me off the bed and I have to sleep in the weirdest positions and wake up a thousand times a night hahaha, and that cute problem is still there. However, since the quarantine started he has been extra snuggly so now he’s sleeping right in between us  by our chests instead of kicking my legs off) 🙂
Now, we finally decided to buy a new mattress anyway…. only to find out that all the waste stations are closed due to quarantine. We can’t get rid of the old mattress (really great timing to buy new stuff haha). So, we had to put the new mattress on top of the old one hahah! It’s like the “Princess and the pea” 😀

The mattress is really nice to sleep on, I have been sleeping so much better these past few weeks. I love a really firm bed, like the rock hard beds in hotels, while J wants it super soft and foamy. We got a mattress that is somewhere in the middle of the scale of soft/firm, a 6 I think (10 being the firmest). We figured it’s probably not that good for you to sleep on those rock hard beds for too long, so this feels perfect, we both got what we wanted:) Of course, the bed is a bit extra wobbly now since the old mattress underneath the new one is rounded on top, but twisting and turning feels great, I don’t wake up by J’s or T’s every move anymore.

(now we just need to get rid of the pot smoking neighbors who seems to only have energy to do stuff in the middle of the night. Thor and I wake up every night these days from them screaming, laughing, organizing or just running around well past 2 am and then several times a day and night our bedroom (and the hallway outside our apartment) stinks of all sorts of different types of smoke, it’s nasty and gives me a massive headache. And we have no idea how the smell comes into our apartment. Unfortunately I can’t prove that it’s them, so what can we do..?)
