John and I got lots of free advice when we announced that we
intended to marry. Most of it was worth exactly that. The most common
suggestion was to never go to bed angry. That probably would have made more
sense if it weren’t for the fact that at least half the time we were fighting because
we were both tired. It took us a few years to figure out that staying awake
until we resolve an issue just meant we would fight longer. And everything
looks better after a good night’s sleep. Anyway, the very best advice we got
was this: scrimp on everything else, but always have the best mattress you can
afford. After all, you’re going to spend at least a third of your life in bed
(more if you’re sick or hurt or pregnant) and you might as well be comfortable.
Besides, a bad mattress can make you sorry even when you’re not in it.
