Innerspring Thing

I went shopping for a mattress today. Why is this so difficult? And why must there be SO goddam many different kinds of mattresses and SO many different names for the same exact thing?

I left the store without a new mattress. And now I have spent approximately 8,000 hours on the Internet trying to figure out how to figure out what I want.

I'm pretty sure that my current relationship with my mattress is a failed relationship. I need to dump my mattress. But I'm hesitant to let go of a sure thing when I don't really know what my options are out there in the world.

Help! Woman seeks new relationship for plenty of sleeping together. Extra padding a plus.

Design Within Reach is having their summer sale, and I am totally craving this Philippe Starck molded plastic armchair for my new deck. In my fantasy, my deck looks something like this:





In reality, I will be lucky if I manage to grill on the new deck without burning down the new house.
