Bed Lust

I’m obsessed over a mattress. A memory foam, feels like floating, open cell, space age, ergonomic, hypo-allergenic, pain free, Sonna Versa mattress. I NEED one!

While in Chicago last weekend, SB and I visited the Evanston Design Within Reach store. We tested both mattress options, the single-sided firm mattress and the double-sided option rich mattress set. At first the mattress felt too soft but then all of my achy muscles and joints started to relax and I knew this was something special.

Matched with memory foam pillows at $140/pillow and the mattress at $1900, I’ve fallen in love with a piece of furniture that will cost as much as my other current obsession, a new mac laptop.

I remember when I was much younger I would obsess over things that cost $20, then $100, more recently $500. But to make the leap to desiring and considering items around $2000 seems excessive. Does this make me a “real” adult or just a woman living outside of her means?

If I had $2000 to spend on one item, would I be happier with a new laptop or a new mattress? Oh the decisions of fantasy. Actually, in my true fantasy world I would already own both.
