I totally know the bed I would like to buy because I've slept on it numerous times and never slept so well. It's the beds they have at the Westin. Sadly, they don't make that bed in the size I need so I'm SOL until I move to a new place. Which might not happen for another decade.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fifteen minutes per bed? I'd go nuts.

I'm scared of the day I have to buy a new mattress. I totally lucked out on mine -- I bought it used (!! what was I thinking?? But it was nearly-new and perfectly fine) for $100 like 8 years ago, and it's still going strong.
Just got a nice thank-you call from my mom for her bday present, so that's good.

I have futon mattresses. I think they're great. I figure I'll keep going with them unless I find love in a Tempurpedic.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
My mom and I were discussing my mattress about 2 years ago. I mentioned that I needed a new one.
Mom: No, you don't!
Me: Um, Mom? Yeah, I do.
Mom: No! When I bought that mattress, it was top of the line and had a 20 year warranty.
Me: Yeah. And when was that?
Mom: That was when we moved to Denver and (lightbulb goes off) yes, you do need a new mattress.
She bought it in 1979. Yes, folks. My mattress is almost 30 years old.

I'd be all "Mom! I can't do boys younger than the mattress I'm doing them on!"

Heh. My grandmother recently got a new mattress as a gift, because hers was at least that old, but she wasn't going to buy a new one, due to the fact that she's just going to die at any minute (her attitude, not ours), so why waste the money?

Oh. Dear. I think that during my Summer of Indiscretion I slept with someone the same age as my mattress.

My mattress set came from my mom, who had it up in the guest bedroom. I think it was the one she bought when she moved into a condo back in 1985, so that makes it now 20 years old. Being a guest bed, it wasn't used all that much during that time until I got it a few years ago, except for the 20 months I used it when I boomeranged back home in between jobs 15 years ago. Still, I plan on replacing it, most likely next year at this time (I'll probably use my tax refund for it).

That's kinda cool. I mean, apart from being obviously morally objectionable.
The IVR system I just used not only expected me to talk to it, it also said "Hmm." You are a computer. You're not making anything any better.
