Our bed. Seriously.

I never paid much attention to my bed and typically bought a less expensive mattress. My last one was a quite firm memory foam mattress that was definitely firm, but I didn't think much about it and just thought I was generally a light sleeper. I also really looked forward to sleeping in hotels for the nicer bedding. I just didn't know better.

When we moved earlier this year we spent some $$$ and bought a new king mattress, mattress pad, pillows and sheets. It's made all the difference. I sleep through the night with less tossing and turning, and I'm less achy and stiff in the morning. It's been a whole new world and I love the new bed.

The only downside is that it's ruined me for hotels now. I'd say 90% of hotels I've stayed in this year don't even come close to our bed at home. Even in the higher end places like the St. Regis or Edition.

Spend the money and buy a nice bed.
