Totally worth it
I ordered a Nectar mattress from Amazon. I got home from a jungle-hot day at work a few days later to what appeared to be a 6ftX3ft 90lb tube in my garage, which was thoughtfully shipped in a duffle bag that could’ve fit my entire Jeep. I hauled this bad boy up a flight of stairs, lungs burning like I just ran a 5k through the Mohave. I wrestled it onto my old box spring and, panting, yanked the contents from the bag (which was tighter than an elephant in an inner tube). They sent a little seatbelt cutter tool to remove the vacuum-sealed plastic, and as soon as I made the first cut, my new bed, my happy place, began hissing at me like I forgot our anniversary. I stepped back to watch with the anxiety one might have popping a can of Pillsbury biscuits against a counter. The mayhem over, the new sheets and comforter and pillows in place (because, adulting) and I’m anticipating the promised better sleep I should get from this. Otherwise, my sweat, blood and tears - because the sweat went into my eyes...I wasn’t being a little bitch - would’ve all been in vain. To be continued...
Addendum: After one night on this mattress, I’d have to say that it was totally worth it. When my alarm went off this morning, I snoozed it a few times and thoroughly enjoyed just laying there, contemplating how much I actually need my salary, benefits and pension.
