My grandmother was pretty much the only person in my family with the ability to draw. I remember spending afternoons at my grandparents' house during summers asking her to sketch little doodles of animals and things because it always amazed me how a few lines could turn into something so life-like.

I was lucky enough to capture some of that ability in my genes which I tapped into during my time studing Architecture in college. Now that she's gone I keep some fashion sketches she did back in her younger days framed on my bedroom wall. It's a nice reminder of her presence in my life and the gift of drawing that she passed on to me. I enjoy looking at those sketches every day.

I used to sell furniture and mattresses. Honestly, everyone has different needs so you can't just go looking for a mattress because someone else likes it. You have to try them out. I have a memory foam from Simmons that's just like the Tempurpedic but half the price and I love it.

Be careful about flipping and turning as most mattresses today can not be flipped since the top is not the same as the bottom, and some manufacturers don't recommend turning it either, but I think the second one is a preference since it won't do any damage.

To the folks complaining about sagging mattress, CHECK YOUR WARRANTY! I'm pretty sure all mattress companies have a minimum 10 year warranty against sagging defects, and the better brands have 20 year warranties. Call the store your purchased the mattress from or the manufacturer to find out, it's absolutely worth it since they will usually replace the mattress for free or credit you towards the purchase of a new one.

Hope this helps!
