So last week I decided to splash out on a new mattress after the apartment contract was renewed for another year (phew!) and I thought it was going to take ages to do a bunch of research, look around online and in the shops, etc. I mean, you don’t buy a new mattress every day and, lets face it, this is probably the last one I will ever have to buy. Turns out that on Saturday I went over to El Corte Inglés and saw this one on a “flash sale” for 50% off and somehow 15 minutes later both Peter and I had bought one each. I mean FLEX is a good brand, I liked that this one is “flippable” (last one wasn’t) and it sure felt good when I lay down on it. So what the heck. Now just waiting for delivery.

I’ve been promising myself a new mattress for literally years! A pandemic and the world being on fire kind of distracted me. I’m a futon on frame type gal and there’s exactly one design that I like and I tracked it down… I hope it’s still available. This may get me off the dime.

First pillows and now a mattress! Always look to me for your bedroom comfort motivation!! But seriously, the IKEA mattress was fine for the first dozen years, but I didn’t check into its construction when I bought it and the fact that it couldn’t be flipped meant that, well, IT COULDN’T BE FLIPPED, so that middle section was always getting the brunt of, well… ME. But it became a thing, that if I didn’t get chucked out of my home I’d look into a new mattress and it turned out that both of these came in at about the same price professional movers would have cost. Whatever.
I also used to be a futon girl but I have to say new mattress technology is impressive. For example, I hate the “memory foam” vitroelastic ones (only experienced with a couple of inherited pillows from my friend Susan years ago, ick ick ick texture, like it’s trying to swallow you up) and apparently they also run “hot” because they don’t breathe. No thanks. And I think futons may be similar in terms of breathing issues except less icky. This one has pocket springs and the same layers of foam on top and bottom (flippable!) and so I hope I end up liking it once it arrives. Also, it will still be on my IKEA wood slat frame, so that hasn’t changed.
For the record I have never spent so much on a mattress in my life, but my reasoning was IT USUALLY COSTS DOUBLE THIS and I realised I also didn’t want to do a month of mattress research after all. Vamos!
