THOSE NAPS COUNT WITH ME.

I think the mattress i got is crap i can feel the metal springs with my hands, but my body doesn't notice....sometimes i go to sleep nearly sitting up and other times I am laying flat --- sometimes legs slightly raised (a fun way to exercise in bed) that (and six pillows) is wonderful aid to going to sleep soon after I adjust myself.
