mattress review – spoiler… it’s the friendly ghost

Apr 28, 2021

I bought a Zinus foam mattress from Amazon three years ago to replace a full feather mattress. To break that down… I purchased a $500 mattress to replace one that cost $6,000 15-years earlier. Like I thought that would be a good idea? The Zinus was not horrible but certainly not good from the onset.

Finally having had enough, I read about mattresses for days. Perry even went with me to our local furniture store to check out what was available there. I plopped down on at least 5 before finding one I thought was decent.

I figured out a hybrid mattress would be the best fit for what I was looking for, so the search was narrowed. I finally decided on the Casper hybrid mattress. It was delivered over a week ago…

Casper mattress comes in a box.

… and I LOVE IT! It’s soft yet provides support.

I wondered how a hybrid mattress (one with springs as well as memory foam) could be delivered in a box but it was. The box was extremely heavy — probably double the weight of the Zinus mattress that was going out the door.

Then, the Peskies sheeped me!

Their new Casper hybrid mattress was delivered yesterday. Hope they like theirs as much as I love mine.

COVID News…

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new guidance on outdoor mask use for fully vaccinated Americans yesterday. We can now take our masks off at small outdoor gatherings or when dining outside with friends from multiple households.

TIL (Today I Learned): The First Lady of the United States hasn’t always been the president’s wife. At least thirteen women who have served as First Lady were not married to a president.
