i have ALWAYS been like this.......last time when i got down to the 160's i told my doctor straight up i had a bone to pick with him. i said, "you promised me if i lost weight, i would feel great!" WRONG! my shoulders and hips ached in bed, and yes i too felt like i had an elephant was crushing me, would wake up in tears.
so now today back at 300lbs as an absolute fluke i ended up with a new mattress i didnt order. i had ordered a nice simmons beautyrest from roomful express, i payed cash, waited 3 weeks and still NO MATTRESS....then my mom sees in the newspaper they are going out of business! i called them and they told me they were bankrupt, i wasnt getting my mattress, and if wanted my money back, stand in line! omg i was pi$$ed! i cussed A LOT and the store manager hung up on me lmao.....so my hubby and i drove to the store. they ended up upgrading me to a better mattress they had in stock and in the store (i was one of the lucky ones, local news is reporting people taken for hundreds of dollars). i was hesitant to get this mattress, but i knew i had to do it, or be out 1500 bucks. THANK GOD this happened the way it did.
i cannot say enough about this mattress, it literally makes you feel weightless once you relax on it. my nighttime body aches are gone! i cant even believe it!..i sleep the whole night through without an ache or pain.i love this mattress and would never have even considered it b4 the mishap. i am finally sleeping well and PAIN FREE SLEEP IS AMAZING! here is a link to the mattress
