Toasted Marshmallow Mattress

So we finally went and bought a new mattress.  We decided to go with Seally's version of the Temperpetic (probably spelled wrong).  We bought the semi-firm mattress.  What we got was a mushy marshmallow that you can't get out of without help.  I can't even get into it without a stool it is so tall.  We're having them pick it up and it's only been with us since last Thursday.  4 nights of sleeping (or trying to sleep) in a marshmallow.  I took to leaving a foot on the outside side of the mattress to give me leverage to get out of the bed.  R took to sleeping diagonally.  I think he thought if he took up more room he would stay on top of the mattress.  It didn't work.  Trying to roll over was another adventure.  You had to put your feet on the mattress and lift yourself up before trying to turn over.  It took some trail and error to figure that out. At least the cats loved the mattress.  They were sleeping quite well on it and decided it was a great place to spend their days. 

I don't know what they will do tonight when we are sleeping in the guest room, in the less than full size antique bed.  It's going to be very crowded with 2 adults and 2 cats.  I might end up on the sofa.  We're going to attempt to go mattress shopping again tonight if they pick up company gets here early enough, otherwise I know what we will be doing tomorrow.  . 

Thinking about going back to the old spring mattress at least we know we won't sink into it and not be able to get out. 

So if your mattress shopping  - 1. Don't buy it from Mattress Firm they are 2 times higher in price and 2. Don't buy Seally's version of the temperpetic - they still need time to fix the problems with their version.
