On the Floor
My back hurt so much last night that I ended up sleeping on the floor. Our mattress is just too old, but we can’t afford to replace it right now. It sags in the middle and doesn’t give me nearly the amount of support I need. I would love to be able to get a sleep number bed, but who knows when we’ll have enough cash for that.
I actually don’t feel too bad after having slept on the floor. The bedroom is carpeted, so the surface is very firm without being too hard. I put an old blanket down first to use as a “mattress” and then just crashed right on top of that. I was still a bit sore when I woke up, but I wasn’t stiff or anything, which was definitely progress. This is not a long-term solution though, so I do need to find a way to get a new bed!

Bless your heart. I can sympathise. My back always hurts from sleeping on our bed. Hope you get that sleep number bed soon.

It’s no fun, is it? I would really love a sleep number bed, a memory foam mattress, or anything else besides the 10-year-old saggy thing we have now
