billroperI wanted to haul Julie's new mattress and the bunkie board upstairs tonight so we could install them in the morning. We did that and this caused the instructions to surface. They said that -- although the mattress will continue to decompress for the next three days -- Julie could go ahead and sleep on it tonight.
So the old mattress is hauled away to the first floor for disposal with the next trash pickup, while the new mattress is happily on the bed and covered with a sheet. My conclusion after trying to find the right sheets to do this with is that it is time to buy more twin-sized sheet sets, because there's a distinct shortage of the fitted ones.
But done is done.
And it turns out that the mattress that died the big death was a Serta which I apparently bought at Sam's Club. I thought that it was a mattress that I'd bought on Amazon, but that must be some other mattress. In any case, I've never seen a mattress die in quite that fashion with a big crater in the middle of the bed.
I am unimpressed. (Well, actually, I *am* impressed, but not in any good way.)
