I told my son to pretend to sleep on his new mattress so I could take a photo. I've never seen him sleep in this pose, ever. |
Hello dear readers, who have been following my mattress adventures with interest. In my last blog I was doing my best to tackle the many different types of mattress, in order to buy the best ones to satisfy my family for the years ahead.
Eventually I plumped for a memory foam mattress for my son, and a hybrid mattress (I think it's like a hybrid bike, but less sporty) for me and my wife.
The mattresses arrived, and their installation went swimmingly well, to be honest.

My son's mattress prior to unwrapping. I think it was more fun at this point. |
Ours was quite exciting, because it had been vacuum packed. What this meant was that when I punctured the plastic wrapping it started hissing and magically inflating itself in a rather satisfying yet unsettling way that makes you wonder if it's actually supposed to do that, or whether I've just managed to destroy a brand new mattress.

My mattress comes with many icons. It's a bit like my phone in that when I press them nothing happens. |
As an aside, I've not seen any warnings that the new mattresses don't absorb vomit, so perhaps I'll have to try that out.
