I daydreamed extensively about the Sealy Posturepedic Elevate Gel Cool Mattress in the days ahead of its arrival, entertaining round-the-clock fantasies of floating to sleep on a cloud-like mattress which breathed cool air on me long into the night.
Considering I’m temporarily living with my in-laws, sharing a smaller-sized bed with my husband than we’re used to and waging daily battles against night sweats, hormonal insomnia, excruciating back pain and general body soreness, it’s no surprise I was starting to feel like a fairytale character – and not one of the ones who gets to sleep peacefully for months on end. More like constant Princess-and-the-Pea-style aches meet Goldilocks tossing-and-turning – nothing felt right in bed when it came to my body temperature or getting my back and hips into a comfortable position.
