Got a new bed!

We bit the bullet and bought a new bed a few weeks ago. We (I actually) decided on a Sleep Number since it allows us to individually set the firmness, and I liked the 7000 Series (well, I liked the 9000 Series too but couldn't justify spending that much more when the 7000 was very nice!). Bill didn't want to bed shop and said I should get whatever felt good to me, so I did. He was surprised (shocked actually) at the cost, but I think he's getting used to the bed and is finding it comfortable.

I, on the other hand, am beginning to love the new bed. I no longer wake up with a numb hip and shoulder in the middle of the night. I'm not stiff and sore all over anymore. Last Saturday, I slept in to 9:30am and took a 2-hour nap! My sleep number is 25. Supportive yet cuddly. Bill tried 35, 50, and seems to have settled at 40.

This photo was taken just after the delivery guys setup the bed. Bill is marveling at how much higher it is than our 17-year-old bed! Our old sheets barely fit on the bed. A set of 600-count sage green sheets were included with the new bed - they fit much better. Oh, and I also got a red insulated Sleep Train coffee mug that I now use at work.
