That is definitely some major dedication to a singular topic. Can you imagine if that was your life's work?

Back in college I drove my roommates VW bus to the second hand store and saw several old, stained mattresses behind the store. We quickly drove up, threw one on top of the bus, tied it down quickly and drove off. That disgusting, stolen mattress lasted me 5 years while in Missoula. I eventually sold it for $20 when I moved back to Michigan.

Now I sleep on a Sleep Number bed. My wife likes a softer mattress than I, so it works out well. Her side is soft, mine a bit more firm. I have no idea how much it cost, but it was money well spent. ... At least I think it was. I'm not sure what the Mattress Scam man would say about it.

EDIT: How is the move going? What stage are you in? Packing small things, big things? Actively loading a truck? You need any help with any specific suggestions etc, let me know. I've moved a family several times in the past few years.

Be nice to your wife.
