Aerobed

Inflatable mattresses have come a long way...

Dick's two sisters are visiting us this week from Noth Carolina. We have one staying in the guest bedroom (aka The Raggedy Room) and the other (who didn't want to sleep with a bunch of dolls staring at her) is sleeping in the TV room downstairs.

We bought an aerobed a couple of years ago, after our friend Rob spent the night and had to sleep on our crappy inflatablle matress. We woke up the next day and he said, "Dude. I have one word for you: Aerobed". So we tossed out the old mattress, and found a double-sized aerobed for our guests.

Now, I should point out here that I slept on inflatable mattresses for years. All throughout my color guard years (so that's 4 years) and also my first year living in San Francisco. I had it until it sprung a leak in the middle of the night, and I woke up on the floor. That's when I realized that it was time to invest in a real-for-sure mattress.

We set up the Aerobed last night, and it was amazing. It has a self-contained pump that inflated it within a minute. This sure beats my old method of using the cool setting on a hair dryer, or worse, manually inflating it with your mouth!'

Kathy said it was really comfortable to sleep on, and was much more comfortable than the old crappy inflatable mattress that Dick used to have ;)
