This ad had always been in the back of my mind as I mentally prepared to one day buy another mattress. Yes, Goldilocks, the fictional and fidgety home invader, sold me on the promise of a good night’s sleep. You may have seen the ads on Facebook (their ad game is on point) – but somehow if you haven’t – this ad, in particular, was my first image of the company. So I used what little I had left of expendable income (the money I used to move here) and made an investment in my overall well-being. So, I wasn’t dreaming, and as a writer, I needed that well of inspiration a-flowin’. I’d wrap my thick blanket under my side and fall asleep that way, yet every morning, I still awoke rubbing my hip bone or shoulder, and never had a restful night’s sleep.Īnd they say that when you don’t get a restful night’s sleep, you’re unable to fall into the stage of sleep known as “R.E.M.” sleep the level of rest required to dream at night.
The floor really helped my back realign (they say that floors do that for you), and I had a thick rug to cushion the sleep, but I could rarely sleep on my sides without getting sore on my pressure points. I didn’t know when I’d ever get a bed.įor a while, that wasn’t too bad.
But when I ventured out into an actual rental with my new roommate, I spent the past month on the floor with only a custom-knit throw blanket my grandmother made me, and a brand new pillow from Target. Now, don’t get me wrong, it was a comfy-ass futon, so that was NOT a problem. For the first few months, I slept on a futon that my temporary roommate had in her apartment. I haven’t slept on a real mattress since I moved out West to Los Angeles in early November.
*Also, I have NOT been endorsed by the Purple Mattress Company in any way, this is an impartial review (but I would totally take them up on it).* *Before you ask, no, the mattress isn’t purple in color.*
