(10,552 posts)I generally bounce between the BeautyRests, Euro-Tops or the Purple brand mattresses!
If manages give me a hard time during my nap time, I just tell them I have a $1400 store credit since the last time they sold me a extra firm when I actually needed a soft plush since I'm a side/back/hot sleeper.

(19,941 posts)You looked very peaceful while sleeping on that mattress I wanted to buy!
I told the salesperson I'd come back and buy it after you woke up.
I didn't want to disturb your slumber!
Hi Niagara!
Niagara
(10,552 posts)Which one are you purchasing?
It sounds like I'm going to have to bounce around and find another mattress to slumber on!
Hi, Lucky!!

(1,106 posts)Only problem is that I'm always buried under cats... Hobbes, my Maine coon, is a respectable 17 lb or so, and I often find him draped from my neck to my ankles (I'm 5' 10"!) but Pixie (my wee tortie) compensates as she's only about 4 lb and curls in wherever she fits.

(26,615 posts)This particular recliner feels as if it were built just for me. I have a longish torso, and my recliner is curved in just the right places.
I'm quite sure I could very comfortably spend the night there. I used to be a side sleeper, but became a back sleeper after 2 hip replacements.
Various of our cats often nap with me when I'm on the recliner.
A friend of ours told us this very amusing acronym - SCAN - Senior Citizen Afternoon Nap. I'm all in favor of SCANning.

(21,267 posts)Sooo...I'm working.
I'm a long term temp at Izod the Alligator Logo Clothing Company way back. I'm at the front end of our ?niche office off a main walkway.
I'm sitting at a round table that leans against an inward corner "cut" in the metal wall. I'm sitting next to this wall that's by the walkway.
I've got a slew of sort of Ledger Cards that
track their system of 3% given dollars to a store that buys a certain amount of their clothing (Men's, Women's & or Childrens), and submits Print, Radio, or TV ads that this 3% Monies goes towards. I keep track of additions, and used monies on these cards. I have my pen, and a 10 key adding machine.
It's around 3PM, and I'm getting sleepier, and sleepier! I lean my head against the wall trying to fight it off. Next thing I know
I slowly reopen my eyes! Pen still in my left hand near a card, and my right one is by the adding machine. 😄 Oooops!
Luckily my boss's boss can't see me bc of his office walls, and my boss is 2/3rds the way down the niche space, and can't see me either. Idk how long I was out. I guess it couldn't have been that long a time.
The thing is I was now so full of energy I got right back on it, and zipped through my work. 😄
The only disappointing thing is...
I've never has as superb a nap ever again so far!
This was back in, like, 1984!

(418 posts)It's a powered recliner with power headrest, heater, and massage. I love it because the recliner has firm padding, which I prefer, and it supports my back really well. I take me about two minutes, at most, to fall asleep.

Since I was around 7, or 8; and I hadn't shot up yet in height - it was was really comfy to curl up into.
