Our Purple Bed

After years of uncomfortable if not downright painful sleep on a very old mattress (the darned this was well over 25 years old, I’m thinking) we finally bit the bullet and got ourselves a new bed! Taking advantage of the Labor Day weekend sales, we headed on down to Mattress Firm in Wasilla and purchased a Purple mattress and frame.

We opted to pick it up ourselves rather than pay extra for delivery – so of course it arrived while Bryan was out of town. He got home 3 days later, however, so we didn’t wait too long to pick it up. Looking at the boxes in his truck, it’s hard to imagine that an entire queen size bed fits in there! The boxes were certainly heavy enough, though. And once we opened everything up & assembled all the parts – we have ourselves a new bed!

Purple technology is somewhat similar to the Memory Foam stuff in that it takes a good 48 hours to completely recover from being stuffed into a teeny-tiny (relatively speaking) box – so I can’t say for sure yet how much of an improvement it is on my sleep – but I can say I like the look of it. It’s very European, somehow.
