Neck pain, shoulder ache and lower backache have been accompanying me in the recent couple of years. This is a consequence of many factors put together – long hours in front of the computer, the contour of my pillow, and lack of exercise to relax the muscles. It gets worse whenever we stay over at my in-law’s place. The shape of the sofa bed in the guest room is bad for the back; hubby and I can never sleep well there.
I have come to realize how getting a good night sleep on a comfortable bed mattress is so important to our health. Only with a good night rest that our body and mind can rejuvenate to face new challenges the next day. And with a good quality mattress, we will not wake up in the morning moaning in pain and suffering more stress!
When will I be able to sleep on such a comfortable bed?
So, for our new home, I told hubby that we should invest in a good mattress like the memory foam mattress, which is able to ‘remember’ the shape and weight of our body, staying firm where support is needed and soft where comfort is wanted. Ultimately, we want good quality sleep for a healthy body.
Well, I have to bear with the sofa bed for one more night. Tomorrow I will sleep on my own bed. Although it’s not some super high-tech mattress, but it’s still more comfortable (and bigger!) than the sofa bed.

Those sofa beds are really horrible to sleep on… And you are right. The best is to invest in your health. Even if those mattresses are expensive, the price of it will return in life with less pain. Now I have a bed where I cant change the mattress, but hopefully next year I will move to a new home and we will buy a good mattresses.
But at least I bought a new pillow and now my life is so much easier

Hi Susan, thanks for dropping by.
Yeah, although a good quality mattress may be expensive in the first place, it will save us all the ooohs and ouches in the long-term, as well as visits to the chiropractor, speaking of which I think I will need the service of one soon…
