Sleeping on a Cloud

new mattress set on the old bed
Our new mattress and box springs were delivered last Saturday. Hooray! Here is a picture before the bed was dressed. We got a Simmons Beautyrest mattress with a plush top and a 5” box springs. This combination is now 1” shorter than our old mattress and a whole lot more comfortable! I am still adjusting to the plush top because it is harder for me to change positions during the night without waking myself up, LOL. However, I am sleeping much better now and my leg with the knee replacement is much happier too!

Our new bed will arrive in another week. It will be a Shaker style, rather than a colonial style. It will also be about 5” closer to the floor. I am really looking forward to not requiring a footrest to get in and out of bed!

Hey, does anyone want to buy our old bed? It's a honey - just too tall for short people!

  1. Your new mattress and pillow top look so much like mine! Actually, the bedroom suite looks like mine also; I bought it in 1961 when we first married. I hope when you get closer to the floor, it'll be better for you!

    I love my bed so much; that's why I don't sleep around. MUWHAHAHAAAAAA

    Have a great evening Ms Donna!! ((hugs))

  2. I love my mattress...it's tall with a pillow top and I have to buy fitted sheets with deep pockets...looks just like yours! Mine is tall..and I have a bad knee this week so I've been having to get in bed backwards...if that makes sense...lol. I have a footrest nearby...just in case. The dog fell off the bed last week....I thought she broke her leg but she was alright!

  10. If I had the money, honey-I'd buy your bed! Still looking for a frame for my bed...and you know me & mom are hunting down all the junk shops.

    Glad you and your DH got a new bed, sweet dreams to you my dear! :)

  11. We had to get a new mattress and box springs this year, too. Oh, boy, is it wonderful! Finding mattress covers and sheets for those deep mattresses is interesting, though. Enjoy your new bed!
