The Number You Have Reached
[sleep number beds]
You know it is still Winter when 'the cat' switches from her standard 'interested in what her people are doing but no so much as to have to follow you everywhere' mode to the one where she is upstairs on the bed before we are and after a brief, respectful pause, stands on your head and pillow to be let under the blankets. Not just anywhere under the blankets, mind you, but preferably outside edge on what I like to call 'my side'. In a pinch she will settle for between us but not if she can wake me up to get her way.
I know we are no doubt spoiling her something horrible but as they saying goes, 'she's a cat,' and how much can she really be spoiled? Besides, she's an only child and who else can we spoil?
As flattering as it is to be her "horizontal favourite" (I would be a distant second as her daylight favourite), the fact that this plays nightly in our aging Queen sized bed does make for some uncomfortable nights and the mattress ads in the daily paper getting increasing scrutiny. One of us (I won't say who) thinks that the Local Department Store would be a good place to buy but I am still curious about a Sleep Number air bed. I remember N & H praising theirs (and finding out they had the same 'Sleep Number' = kismet!), and since we have a huge difference in pillow firmness (I like a soft pillow, others not so much), maybe our mattress should reflect the same aesthetic?
Besides, how can I resist a bed that has a "Digital Numeric Inflation System to allow you to adjust the softness or firmness of the mattress with the simple push of a button." There are mattresses available that allow one to adjust each side of the mattress separately, so no more compromises, just good sleep. This was a sponsored post but with the long weekend coming up, I think there will be a shopping trip in our future.
