    It’s taken me 15 months to get it!
    At shippers and receivers. I wait. I fall asleep. Only when I’ve gotten into good deep sleep. Then! That guy is supposed to come by, knock on the door, and wake me up! :)

    Didn’t get my mattress for my truck. They couldn’t get it in by Friday. So they’re refunding the money.
    Now I have to order straight from purple. Have it sent to my terminal in Minnesota. Pick it up when I get by there.
    Do still want it. Slept better on my new one at home.

    Well I'm not spending that much for a mattress, but I gotta get a firmer one. Maybe just a new one. I sink too much in the middle and it's tweaking my one knee.
     
    WesternPlains and Lepton1 Thank this.

    I’m discovering three things.
    One) Lower part of left leg. Below the knee. I used to exercise that on the clutch. Now no clutch.
    Two) When driving. Exercise lifting myself in the seat. Seat and all moves up and down. Helping ...
    Three) I need to straighten my lower spine when sleeping. Gets rid of my extreme pain presently waking me. Also keeping me awake and lack of sleep. Soft unsupporting bed, makes it too easy to pelvic tilt.
    That Purple mattress makes it much easier to hold lower spine straight. While being soft and comfy.

    One thing I have noticed on the memory foam. It’s hot. Purple is cool.
    That makes the memory foam extremely nice during winter. I love that hot bundled up ‘cocoon’ during sleep, with cold air around me.

    But then again, if you flop down on cold memory foam, like if you get back to a truck that hasn't been idling in cool weather, it's a cold BRICK. It takes a while of shivering body heat to get it to soften.

    Do you go for walks? Walking is the best low impact exercise there is for lower back, legs, heart, the whole nine.
     
    WesternPlains Thanks this.

    I now make it a point too.
    Tonight I walked around wallyworld. Walked out with $50 worth of groceries. Barely got the fridge stuff stuffed in there.
    Had to eat some...
    BTW... the Touscan seasoned chicken breasts are great. Like a super piece of pizza. Go in the George Foreman grill. Goes in my mouth. Ate 3 out of 4 of them.
