Hey Delights!
You know how sometimes you buy something really expensive that’s top-quality but it doesn’t work for you? Well that was the case with my mattress set. I was so hopeful when we got it. It’s an awesome super thick, pillow top high profile set. And I love that because that means I don’t have to struggle to get in or get out of it. It has a pillow top mattress topper. And it is a highly rated top brand. Also it was not a foam mattress, which I never wanted to have again.
But there was only one problem.
Sleeping on it killed my back.

Like I would literally wake up almost unable to walk.
I tried so many things. I tried various body pillows, pillows between my legs, cushions between my knees & under my legs. You name it, I tried it. And what made it even more annoying is that Joe sleeps like a baby on it. {insert sad face}
I just don’t know why it hurts my body so much. So basically I would just sleep on the couch most of the time. When Joe was here, it kinda sucked for intimacy that I could never sleep in the bed all night. But a girl needed to be able to walk, so…sigh.
One day I saw one of my blogger boos post about a mattress topper on Instagram stories and I made a mental note to look into it. I hadn’t ever really considered a mattress topper, so it took me a few months to actually look for one. Finally back in February I did. I was placing my monthly essentials order online at Target and while perusing home decor I came across mattress toppers.
Initially I didn’t have really high hopes for the foam mattress topper that I ultimately purchased. Mainly because it was less than $30. I also feared that my experience with it would be similar to my previous foam mattress experience. But it had over 500+ reviews, so I gave it a try.
I figured if it didn’t work for me, I would just return it. Thankfully it definitely works for me and it has truly changed my life for the better. It has all these amazing grooves in it that just work wonders for my body. And doesn’t it look like a smiley face? LOL…that is very appropriate considering how now I am all smiles when I am in my bed.
I am obsessed with my gold laptop (last seen here)
I also love my overfilled pillows. They are super fluffy but offer great support. And my heathered cotton jersey sheet set is another stellar find. They are amazingly soft. I think that I am going to snag them in another color. I am literally still shocked that a relatively thin foam mattress topper has given me my bed back after almost 4 years of not being able to sleep in it. But I am truly grateful that it has.
Do you use a mattress topper?
Stacie says
I currently toss and turn in my mattress all night too. I’ve been thinking about a memory foam topper for a while but now I may have to look into this one.Especially since it’s 30 bucks!
Jaye says
Hey Stacie! You definitely should. I am so amazed at what a huge difference it has made
Joyce Brewer says
Mattress toppers can be a lifesaver. Glad it worked out for you.
Jaye says
Thanks Joyce, it truly was!
Tiffani says
That foam topper was my saving grace in college. Since I became an adult I purchased an adult bed because good rest is the prerequisite for mastering adulting. But I do have one on the bed in my guest room.
Jaye says
Hey Tiffani! I had never even thought about a topper, so it was all new to me. But my mattress cost over $800 so it’s definitely an adult bed, just not the right firmness for me.
Nadalie Bardo says
I read your blog post title and thought foam roller? NOPE, mattress. Nothing beats a great nights sleep. A mattress can surely change your life.
Jaye says
Definitely nothing beats good sleep but in this case the mattress was the problem
KiSheyna says
i havent had a new mattress in over 10 years I knows its definitely time for a new one! I am inspired by your post and I definitely need to get a new one soon!
Jaye says
Well just make sure that you don’t end up not being able to sleep on it like me.
