Tiffany and I finally got our new queen-size mattress. It was a Christmas present from her parents. We decided to go with a Simmons Drucilla Beautyrest from Rich’s department store. Our previous double-sized mattress was one I’d used since middle school and was simply not suitable for a married couple. Our new one not only has enough space for us to sleep together comfortably but minimizes motion transfer. It has an exquisite pillow-top which suits me nicely. It does, however, make the mattress fifteen inches high and, with the box springs and frame, the entire bed is now waist high. Another benefit, I might add.
