I have been reading/thinking about the mattress situation. I have a platform bed frame in storage I want to use instead of the iron one I have now. I want to downgrade to the queen so I can get rid of the huge damn set I have now. (I feel your pain LC, my set is super heavy solid wood.) I want to go minimalist so I can move in one little UHaul truck when I go off the grid. I want one bed, one dresser, one nightstand and one chair in my bedroom, not the megalithic heavy oak/metal I have now. It is killing my chi.
Don't read this part Duchess.
I read something by a Euro person who said American mattresses and box springs were nasty. They collect dust, skin flakes, germs, fluids, mites, etc and really can't be cleaned well. I got to thinking about that and it made me a little nauseous. (Edited for sally: and dog slobber and bits of poo off their butts and pee pee when they are happy to see you.)
FAHQ: Are the fake tempur brands complete shit? I would like a mattress I can throw away every few years and buy a new one rather than spending $4K on the first one.
