a test of marriage

o.k.  i'm kidding...but who the HECK knew that picking out a freakin bed is so hard? 

t has a bed that we sleep on.  he loves it, i think.  how he picked it out, was: he looked at it...may have laid on it for a second,the salesman told him that the sides wouldn't crush down when he sat on the edges, then he bought it. 

i had a bed too. it's a full size though, not big enough for us...and i love it. 

i don't have TONS of complaints about t's bed, but it is HELLISH on my hips.  and when i move or he moves, the other wakes up, or at least moves too. 

so, t decided to be amazing and we went bed shopping.  we had tried out this one bed called the Muzic Bed by Denver Mattress.  it's a newfangled thing that all the cool people have.  o.k., really, no one has it....i think we are the second couple to really try it out.  we went to the store because his massage therapist told us that her husband, who worked at a mattress store was running a special where you could try this muzic bed and give an opinion on it...after that, she would give you  a  massage for $10 off.  we went to try the bed. 

The bed in the store, while kind of cheesy, due to the fact that you were vibrated by music, was comfortable.  firm, but still comfy.  we were told that a couple had just bought it and loved it.  we went to dinner later in the weekend and met some of t's brother's friends and found out that they were the couple that bought it.  how fateful!

a week later, we went back and t bought it. 

the next morning, we woke up, t's back hurt, and my back spasm was intensified. 

the next morning we woke up with t on the floor and me in the spare bedroom. 

the muzic bed is returning to mattress land this week.  

we have PTSD from the mattress experience.  we ordered a new one, and really, i think we may have made the wrong choice.  these sales people were getting less commission and on top of it, they weren't even the ones being credited and just wanted us out of the store.  he led us astray.

we'll see, but who knew this was so hard.
