Several years ago we bought a new mattress - the first one we ever bought.  Before that we had a water bed and then a bedroom outfit that had once belonged to Jeffrey's parents.  I didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but Jeffrey was complaining that it wasn't comfortable anymore.  So we went to every place we could find that sold mattresses, and we tried out all the mattresses.  We finally found one we liked.  I never even thought of or knew we could get a made-to-order mattress. 

Then we could have taken all the things we liked about all the different mattresses and put them together to get the perfect mattress.  For instance, if we liked a queen size memory foam mattress with a pillow top and extra padding, we could have just that.  We could also compare mattress prices to be sure what we wanted fit into the budget.  

We did OK, though - even if we didn't get our mattress made to order just for us.  I guess Jeffrey was right, the new mattress really is more comfortable than the old one.  Who knew?
