Adjustamatic Beds

I love my sleep. I also love the time I spend in bed with my husband. Now before you get all outraged this isn’t a post about that but more about us chilling out, enjoying time in bed relaxing together and being comfortable. 

We currently hold the world record for the number of pillows on our bed (I assume). I think Roy has seven and I have five. Obviously, we don’t sleep with all them, they get tossed to the bottom of the bed or onto the floor, however, we like to be well propped up. You see, we might go up to bed sometimes as early as 7.30pm. We don’t sleep at this time but we get out of our work clothes (etc), get PJs or whatever on and relax.

Bedtime relaxing might be watching shows on Netflix on the TV, we might read, Roy might write or draw, I might use my tablet. We do our own thing, together. To me this is a perfect way to finish off a day, however, lumpy pillows that slide down the back of the mattress is not what I’d call the best set-up. To be honest, once upon a time I might have considered looking at Adjustamatic single electric beds (I’ve had no end of back troubles in the past) however as they now offer the same benefits for those looking for a double this is a bonus and one we might well investigate for ourselves.

Sleep, as well as relaxed and support chilling out time in bed is important to us. We both work hard and good sleep is important for good health. Would we consider investing in an Adjustamatic bed so that we could both sit/lie comfortable? I think we would! 

What about you? Have you tried an Adjustamatic bed or fancied one? We’ll be upgrading our bed sooner rather than later and this option is most definitely on our list so I’d love to hear your thoughts on what we should buy!

 

Sleeptime Family Observations

Scribbled in a notebook whilst on holiday last week:

It’s nearly 10pm and Roy, Kieran and Taylor are all fast asleep. We are in our Travelodge on holiday so are all in the same room. I can’t sleep, it’s too hot, so I’m sat up and watching…

Taylor is in his travel cot, on his front. I hate it when he lies on his front as he has this awful habit of sleeping face down! He’s 8 months old now and is fine but I still don’t like it! Turning him is pointless, he’ll only grunt at me and roll back over. Taylor breathes so softly that when I check he is breathing (am I the only one who does breathing checks on the kids before sleep?), I end up tickling him in his sleep, just so he’ll move a little and reassure me. Looking at him lying here, stretched out, it hits me just how much he has grown already. Gah!

Kieran as usual has kicked his covers off and is trying to curl his hair with his fingers in his sleep. He is a big five year old now and has finished a whole year at “big school” already. Despite this, when I look at him now, looking so vulnerable in his sleep, I can see that he really is only a little boy still. Still my baby. I hope he stays like this for just a little while longer!

Last but not least, Roy! The first thing I notice is that he’s lost some weight! The poor man has been living on soup & mash for weeks now after extensive oral surgery. I’m making a mental note to feed him up! I’m out of bed and over at the desk and every so often he reaches out for me in his sleep, frowns, then turns over again. That is sweet!

My three men, sleeping quietly. So alike, yet so different! I wouldn’t change any of them. **
