Day one: Lots of tossing and turning. My husband woke up with lower back pain, probably iritated, but I never found out because I woke up with lower back pain, too and I'm angry.
Days two and three: same as day one, but slightly less angry.
Day four: We're both still sleeping horribly and woke up in pain again. We're pretty sure we hate this mattress. My husband calls mattress company to see about returning it.. . . They said they were sorry it was horrible but we should try it for a minimum of two weeks, because that is how long it takes to break in any matress.. . . Reluctantly we agree.
Day six: same as day one, and the anger is still there.
Day six: Husband wakes up with lower back pain AGAIN! And I had the audacity to fall asleep on my stomach the night before (which I really never, ever do) I wake up concerned about how I had slept, but don't think too much about it and naively think the pain will go away during the day.
Days seven, eight and nine: bed is aggravating my back. . . I can't stand up straight...I cancel everything....except a crazy fun dinner with our friends.
Day 10: Bed is clearly not alleviating the pain in my back and the morning speeds downhill from there. Tears. I deny that I should visit the chiropractor, five minutes later when I'm crawling to my room I consent to go to the chiropractor.
The next few days are a blur. Quick summary: 3 more visits to the chiropractor for me and 2 trips to a massage therapist. I ordered pizza for dinner. Ryan seriously considered buying a hot tub.
Day 14: We both sleep on a couch.
Day 15: We want a refund. Ryan visits mattress company, they suggest we try it for another month, but we're not falling for that anymore. Sales lady casually mentions that almost everyone who buys this mattress returns it. . . . . That would have been helpful information three weeks ago.
Day whatever today is: Crazy mattress is gone...we've been sleeping more comfortably on an air matress for the last few nights and tonight we'll be sleeping on our new Purple mattress for the first time . . . I'll let you know how that goes.
Probably going to be awesome!
