My children's mattresses are, sorry to say, bottom-of-the-heap. They all ooo and aahh over their father's and my pillow-top mattress. Not top-of-the-line either, but definitely above the middle. I like your perspective, though -- my children will be tough and able to sleep anywhere, right? Right? I don't have to feel guilty, right? :) OOO, you’ve got a bunch of good posts here!

Right?

I don’t have to feel guilty, right? :)

(is that right?). We are part owners of a mattress chain, and Jim has been in the bed/furniture business his whole life. As such, we have The Best Bed Ever Invented. And it's hot and too squishy and makes a big lump in the middle and no sheets fit it. And Madeleine's bed cost $10 at an antique auction. According to my husband, Dr. Mattress, you should never spend too much on a kid's bed because they wear 'em out and they don't need much more than a straw mat anyway. Our spare room bed was cheap and it's by far the most comfy in the house. Okay, time for a little denouement… (is that right?).

I like your logic - it prepares them for a future of even cheaper mattresses. I’m glad I’m not the only one whose kids have cheap mattresses.

We've been married seven years. Last week we finally got rid of the cement slab and bought a real bed. A plush, big kid bed with a pillow top and a 14" deep mattress. It's heaven, I tell ya. I was so amazed at the difference, the same day I took the nice, cushy twin mattress out of the guest bedroom and replaced the Spawn's cheaper mattress with it.

Military, and countless numbers of hotel beds have taught me. About the only thing I can't get any sleep on is an old sofa-bed. The bar in the middle is brutal.
