Our Orthopaedic Mattress

Emily Simmons

Sometimes the biggest challenges in marriage begin with the smallest purchases.

A new marriage, a shared bed and a mattress chosen with the best of intentions. There is just one small problem: it’s not particularly comfortable!

Rather than offend the purchaser, a little diplomacy goes a long way. After all, the mattress is softer than the floor. Isn’t it?

Through holidays, restless nights, aching backs, troublesome pillows and increasingly creative sleeping positions, this humorous poem follows a couple’s journey towards discovering that a good night’s sleep might be worth spending a little more.

An affectionate and amusing observation of married life, cultural differences, compromise and the pursuit of comfort.

Because sometimes, even when a mattress is softer than the floor…

…it’s not much softer!
