A Good Night’s Sleep

There is nothing like a good night’s sleep. The bedroom is a place to truly live in and enjoy.

A restful and refreshing deep sleep is dependant on many things, but without a comfortable bed, you can’t get one. A good night’s sleep, that is.

I know people who are still sleeping on the same mattress and box springs they’ve had for twenty years, or more. Cheap Asses. Do yourselves a favor, and upgrade the environment in which you should spend, at least, 33% of your time.

A friend of mine has a NASA certified mattress, you know, the one you can put a glass of wine on, jump up and down, and not spill it. I tried it out, and it was too comfortable. I felt like I was a dummy for a concrete mold. I couldn’t roll over; it felt like I was in quicksand or something. This is bullshit. I like an old-fashioned rig like mine, and remember size does matter.

I have a queen size sleigh bed, made of cherry, waist high, that weighs about 8 million pounds. My box springs are tight, and the mattress is the firmest I could find.

On top of that is a goose down feather bed. This is a must.

Sheets: All 100 % cotton, but depending on the season; flannel, T-sheets, or regular. If you haven’t tried T-sheets, you need to get all over ‘em, or in ‘em. It’s like being wrapped in a tee shirt that’s been washed a thousand times. I use the same type of pillowcases, as I do sheets. Some people don’t.

Quilts and Comforters, I’ve got so many to choose from, I can never make up my mind.

People, this is a science.

Okay, Sam, that's it. You and the wife move over...I want that bed.

Hmmm...sounds cozy. I recently purchased a king-sized Sealy Posturpedic which nearly broke my bank account, but helped my back heal after a pretty nasty car accident.

It was worth every penny. I have never slept so well....
