My son had grown accustomed to sleeping on an old mattress that was one of those "dial by number" type air mattresses. Over the years, the mattress began to sad in the middle and when I would suggest we get a new mattress, he always replied that he was fine. I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and I surprised him right before Christmas with a new mattress. Although he was grateful, he was skeptical that the purchase was a necessary one. That soon changed. He told me how much better he was sleeping and that the new mattress was incredibly comfortable. Coming from a 16-year old boy, I knew I had made the right decision.
