I love that mattress but I don't sleep in that room anymore because he snores and it's a full size bed and with the dog, well, I just don't sleep well in there. He keeps me awake and then I keep him awake with my tossing and turning. So I sleep on the hard ass futon with a 3" memory foam topper that's really just a little too soft for me. I keep thinking that I'll get a real mattress for the bed frame I have but then where would I put the futon? I suppose I could get rid of it. We don't really need it anymore since the grandkids all grew up. Actually, I should get rid of the little uncomfortable loveseat I got for the dog and turn the futon back into a couch and put it there. There's room for it and the dog won't care what she stands on to look out the window.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-42833615953086626362021-11-29T18:37:32.937-05:002021-11-29T18:37:32.937-05:00As I get older I too start to think about my posse...As I get older I too start to think about my possessions and how long they will last, or how long I have owned them...
