My post about the first night on my
Novafoam mattress still gets the most traffic on this blog (although a
homework assignment about the French health care
system has been remarkably popular the past month or so).
Every couple of months, I get an email asking about the mattress. Dale emailed
me this morning to ask how we like the mattress after sleeping on it for over
three years:
Hi,
In searching the web, I found your blog ("first night on..." on pinkhamster) on
shopping for a Novafoam mattress - now that your blog is more than three years
old, I'd like to hear an update if you could take a moment to let me know (or
add a posting and point me to it) as my wife and I are in need of a new
mattress and no better source than a longer-term customer...
Thanks,
Dale
I'm happy to report that we are still satisfied with our Novafoam mattress. It
hasn't lost its support, and it still very comfortable. One thing that I
didn't mention in the original post is that motion isn't transmitted laterally
much when your sleeping companion moves. It's much better than the bouncing
that happens on when sleeping on a cheaper spring mattress or an air mattress.
Having spent two nights on an air mattress a couple weeks ago reminded me how
much I like our mattress. I think we'll probably buy a King Novafoam mattress
when we move to a larger home.
p.s. This season of Penn & Teller's Bullshit! has an episode on mattresses and sleep aids.
