   If it means replacing my 25 year old mattress, I will do anything. Except pay for a new one. That I can’t do.

   If you’re giving away a new bed I want one. For the room I have to sleep in when someone’s snoring gets too loud.

   I would love to start calling my bedroom the torture chamber for similar reasons but think my husband might get the wrong idea.

   I saw an ad on tv that said a mattress weighs something like twice as much in 8 years as it did when it was new. OMG! My mattress weighs a ton now…there is just no tellin’ how many people will have to be hired to get the thing outta here when we are done with it. Hey…maybe we can just leave it here. hmmm…that is an idea.

   Bossy — Have you ever tried taking a low dose of amitriptaline before retiring for the night. It shuts off one’s busy-brain (as I call it). No side-effects, cheap because it’s an older drug…great cure for the person’s brain that won’t SHUT UP at night.zzzzzzzzz

   Marjorie from Massachusetts, not to be confused with Marjorie from Connecticut although we have the same problem, an ancient mattress, would also do ANYTHING for a new mattress. I have the world’s worst insomnia, my bed is so uncomfortable that I’ve been sleeping on the sofa for the last 2 years, and I’ve also got aphasia from a lack of sleeping. Cannot wait for Bossy’s mattress contest.

   I read once that you could cure insomnia by marching in a bucket of warm water. One sleepless night in desperation I tried it. It didn’t work. I got water all over the floor and slipped and nearly hit my head. If I were rendered unconscious I guess it would’ve worked. Being knocked out is the same as sleeping, right?

    I hope you’re trying out a Sleep Number because they’re heaven. I bet John Cusack sleeps on one.

    When I saw the title my thought was “what has Bossy done to herself now?”

    Hope you love the mattress. I’m pretty happy with mine but I slept on a hideabed with critters for a few days in my grandparents living room as a sixteen year old. Not a happy experience.

    If DIVOT = Homer Simpson’s Ass Groove (except it’s Foolery-shaped and can be found in the master bed at Fooleryland), then no, I have no idea what you mean.

    Sleep well, Miz BOSSY.

    I got a Tempurpedic pillow and have slept like a dead rock ever since. You might try one, just for giggles.

    Looking forward to your new BED test-drive!

    A test drive of a little “somethin’ somethin’?”

    Sounds dirty. What exactly is going on?

    When you said you got “things like prints and lamps” I really thought you meant Prince, like the purple one and thought maybe he was gonna play guitar til you fell asleep. Well good luck with the insomnia. See I think I got the narcolepsy.

    Oh. My.

    I’ll be keeping my eyes GLUED to the site. Mainly because our Torture Chamber mattress has a divit and a canyon and a mound and an abyss and a pyramid and…okay, I think you get it, our mattress blows the ugly horn…hard.

    Can’t wait to see what’s in the works.

    Talk about divots, my 13 year old mattress has been folded like a taco during several of its 7 military moves. It’s got canyons.

    Pretty cool you are on your way to divot free insomnia!

    Now I know how you managed to look so good (after a month on the road) when you got to Detroit. Your body is just used to being without sleep. I’m sitting in my motorhome, dreaming of my own bed in Detroit. And my Starbucks.
