Without personal experience you can never understand the difference a good mattress can make to your sleeping comfort. Living a life of austerity, with scorn for anything luxurious, shunning luxuries like a comfort bed; I was happy to sleep on a mattress just lying on the floor. As it is, I hardly had any extra cash to squander around, so I never did think of buying a comfort bed for years. I was getting along fine, but that was until started having severe back aches.
Of course, in the beginning I could have never imagined that they were on the account of comfort beds or rather the lack of them. The concept of sleeping in the wrong kind of bed never did enter my mind. Initially, I tried everything I could to get rid of the back pain, and many of these things did help. I consulted a chiropractor, started exercising and stretching as frequently as possible, had massages- in fact anything that would help assuage the back ache but nevertheless, the pain persisted in its intensity.
At last, following one of the many valuable suggestions from friends, I went to take a look at comfort beds in a mattress store. The first time I lay on a pillow top mattress, one which you could regulate with a dial- I was zapped by its softness and the sheer luxury of feeling as if I was floating on a cloud. I don't think I had ever experienced anything like that before. I, a firm believer in firm mattresses till then, was totally hooked for life.
I hate to shame myself by admitting it to everyone, but sleeping on comfort beds is one luxury that one must definitely try their hands on. For this luxury is not just a frivolous expense, instead it comes packed with health benefits for your backbone. I might not still be buying junk food or wasting money on gas for I do not drive a car. I still find no shame in borrowing books from the library rather than purchasing them from the bookstores. However, comfort beds and relaxed clothing have become a way of life, which is indispensable to me now.
I have changed the policy of my life a bit; to adjust comfortable sleeping habits into it. Scoffing at luxuries is fine, but the story gets a twist when your body starts on its protests. Material possessions prized in our society are still social evils to me, but comfort beds have bowed out from the list. If you possess one, you will know what I mean. Waking up refreshed everyday, without that nasty twinge in your back changes your perspective. It refreshes your mood and makes you positive for the entire day.
