Shipping delays meant the new mattress and frame were delivered 10 days ago. Already Michel and I are used to the new bed. Here’s our early review.
Change takes time
The first night I tossed and turned. The mattress did not feel like my “home”. I felt too high. I got less sleep. The second night I slept better than I had in ages.
Size matters!
Our dog, Lucy, sleeps with us. The three of us on a queen size bed was too crowded. Now we each have lots of room in our split king. This has meant fewer wake ups as well as less tossing and turning.
Cooling
The new mattress, mattress cover and sheets are all about airflow. I have roughly 3 hot flashes a night. I’m not as sweaty and I’m able to fall back to sleep faster. Michel is a sweaty sleeper too and has noticed a big change in being able to regulate his temperature at night.
Goodbye back pain
We have set the adjustable frame for a slight lift on our calves and a bit of lift for our heads. This has given our lower backs more support.
The hybrid mattress is firmer than our old foam one. It is also considerably less lumpy! This means I’m not waking up in the morning with a stiff or sore back.
Staggering price point
I was shocked how much a hybrid split king with adjustable frame was. All in, we invested around $10,000 Canadian. WOWSERS.
That’s a shocking amount. We had spent $1,800 on our foam mattress and frame 7 years ago.
Buyers regret?
Absolutely not. Michel and I had both been struggling to get to sleep, stay asleep and get up pain free. Since we use the bed every night the cost per night over the next ten years is $2.74. Worth. Every. Penny.
I’m grateful we could afford a new bed and thrilled we are sleeping better.
