Trying out a Leesa mattress

Our "W" mattress is over a decade old, and while the first few years were fantastic, the last few years have been noticeably less comfortable.  Not super uncomfortable, really, but I haven't gotten a seriously satisfying night's sleep in 2 years despite the toddler's nighttime habits being pretty good... maybe it's partially a bed issue?  In any case, it was time for an upgrade!

We decided to try out a memory foam "bed in a box"... my husband did the research on different brands, and chose Leesa for the firmness level (compared to other brands) and excellent 100-day return policy. 

It took me 20 minutes to get the old mattress out and the new one in by myself whilst wrangling a toddler... much easier than I was expecting.  It's about 100lbs.

Squished flat, before removing the plastic.

It says it's good in an hour and great in a day... but I tested it out immediately after unwrapping the plastic and it's already more comfy than the old mattress!  Hooray!

Now it just needs to air out for a day or so... the fumes are pretty strong for someone with a sensitive nose, but that's why the plan is to spend the night tent-camping outside.  I wanted to have Torin test out the tent at home before we go camping with it soon anyway.  :)
