We turned the futon over a few days ago (which you're supposed to do regularly, and we have been lax about), and apparently went from a lumpy-but-tolerable configuration to one that I cannot sleep on without hurting myself.
Specifically, I have been having trouble finding a good position to fall asleep in: and even when I do (as last night) I'm waking up with pain down my left side, pain bad enough that I can't get back to sleep and that the mornings, at least, are difficult. We've already tried re-flipping it, but I suspect we'll have to try that again. I may also try stuffing clothes (something from the back of the closet, that I haven't worn in ages, if possible) under it in the interests of getting closer to flat.
Yes, we need a new bed.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cattitude wants a Western-style mattress and box spring; I've no strong objection to such (though I like that the futon-and-frame are nearer the floor), but am wondering if it makes more sense to get a new futon, and plan to throw it away soon, than to spend the money for an entire new bed right now.
I'm also wondering if there's any point in not having tea: that is, any chance that I'll go back to sleep this morning. Probably not.
