I’m very sad that I’m in this comic. Well done.
Get a better mattress, people sleep on mattress that are way too soft because they think it will be more comfortable.
You say that like it’s the easiest thing in the world. We had a great bed for the last ten years but it is done.
Bought a super expensive extra firm mattress… immediate back pain. Stuck it out for a month, no good. Couldn’t return it coz we chose wrong…now I have a stupidly expensive guest bed.
Tried one of the mattress in a box companies who claimed to be one of the firmest available. it was a soggy mess.
Returned. Bought another with a less favourable return policy but half the price…my wife hated it so much that I donated it to the local op shop.
Were on our latest mattress now and my back is absolutely killing me.
It’s just impossible to know what will work for you. A quick lay down in the shop isn’t going to cut it, but I am sick to death of looking. A real shame the company that made our original super firm mattress went out of business.
This is hugely important. In fact, as I write this I’m lying on a mattress at my dad’s, who I am visiting, knowing my back will hurt tomorrow. It isn’t only about the money, though. The correct firmness for your weight, etc. matter a great deal. Not trivial to pick from a catalogue or even from trying them out for 30sec at the store, though… the one I’m going to be sleeping on tonight might have been more expensive than the one I have at home, but it just wasn’t chosen by me, for my profile.
Having said this: closing in on my 50s, back pain is becoming a recurrent but unwelcome companion (along with its many crappy friends, such as knee aches and poor eyesight)…
I understand the spirit of this comment but I think it’s pretty clear that the person you’re replying to is simply trying to offer helpful advice in fairly neutral tone.
And it is the correct advice. A mattress doesn’t cost less simply because it’s softer it certainly doesn’t cost more just because it’s firmer. Budget aside, there is definitely a degree of personal choice when choosing a mattress.
If you’ve got a mattress now and it hurts your back then you already bought a mattress with your own money and it wasn’t appropriate for you, so you could have spent that money, your own money, not mine, better.
An alchemic substance that gives you a full night’s sleep right away? You can consume in seconds? Congratulations, you just invented cocaine
Wow very realistic lol. For the first time in weeks I got 8 hours of sleep in a night and I’m more tired now than I have been in months.
I’m in this comic and I don’t know why
