You may remember a few weeks back when I posted about or dog, Oscar not liking our new bed because he can’t jump up on it. If you don’t remember, you can read it here. Well, there has been a new development in the new bed saga.

Yes, Oscar is still sleeping on the floor. He did figure out though that if he runs all the way down the hall and into the bedroom, he can usually jump on the bed. I think that it’s a bit too much work for him though. He’s come to the conclusion that it’s just easier to sleep on the floor. But that’s not the new development.

The new development has to do with Holly. After the first few nights on the new bed, she decided that having her extremities go numb while she sleeps is a bad thing. Apparently the springs in the mattress like to dig into her all over the place causing extreme pressure and discomfort. As a result, she doesn’t sleep well and requires a pillow in between the two of us.

For a while now, our mattress has desperately needed to be replaced. It didn’t only sag, it leaned to the side. Every morning when Holly and I woke up, we would barely be able to move because of back and/or neck pain. This had gone on for far too long so on Valentine’s Day, we bought a new bed.

Well, the bed was finally delivered on Monday. I like it a lot but it’s taking time getting used to sleeping on a mattress that doesn’t poke springs into my back and make me feel like a paraplegic in the mornings. Holly, on the other hand, seems to have a general disdain for the mattress. I think that she too just needs to get used to sleeping on a firm bed again.
