vulturine

When I moved home last year, my parents had replaced my mouse-nest mattress on the floor with a futon. They told me not to wreck it. It's WRECKED. This thing is sagging in places from something broken underneath, or has springs or bars sticking into my ribs.

This thing smells like human urine too because my demented grandma was sleeping on it while we were looking for a nursing home for her, and we didn't know she had an incontinence problem for a couple weeks. :s

My futon makes me...
Depressed because whenever I go out, I have to go home to it
So sore, simple activities are a chore
Want to stab it, burn it, and throw it in a ravine
Fantasize about going to prison for the relatively comfy beds
Hate myself, because I sleep on a broken futon while I have a brand new, still in the bag pillow-top mattress at my fiance's place
Think back to the good ol' days when I was a homeless student sleeping in weird places
Toss and turn all night because it's comfortable in exactly no places

I feel like an old woman from being tired all the time and having the entire length of my spine hurting on a daily basis.

Such a pointless post. Kill my futon.

It's funny: my parents have a fantastic guest room. Pillow top mattress on the bed, all the pillows you could need. Anytime I sleep there I get a backache. The bed's too soft. I'm happier sleeping on the floor.

what would you be doing if you weren't focusing on the futon-hatred?

Why aren't you staying with your fiancé then? I moved back to my parents house for about 6 months after I got out of rehab so I can sympathize with your frustration. How has your drinking been Vulturine?

My parents have ANCIENT beds in their house. The only bed they have that is pretty nice, they bought for my late hub and I when he was getting chemotherapy at UCSF and we would stay with them. Other than that when we stay with them we sleep on these twin beds that are probably 80 years old. I kid you not. they droop and slop in impossible ways. Horrid. Not to mention, what they hell is living in them
I rent a condo now......

They are making realy comfy futons now, with inner springs. We bought one for our second bedroom,about $500 with frame. Could you replace it so you might not hate it so much? Or how about a nice steam clean to freshen it up?

Put the mattress on the floor at night then back onto the futon in the morning

I sleep on the floor in a rats nest at my parents house btw

I slept on a futon for a while after we moved in here. It was a horrible sleep. It didnt fold down all the way. Very lumpy. Then it made a horrible couch because it wouldn't fold back up!
I'm sorry you're dealing with this vulturine.
What's going on? I know it sounds like you have been struggling in your last few posts... why don't you talk to us, or you could always pm me, or anyone you feel comfortable with.
I hope you are doing ok

There's a mattress ad on pandora all the time saying they'll send you one to try for 100 days. Give it a shot!

Couldn't reply on time. I have pneumonia or something.

Take it out to the driveway and burn it alive while you roast marshmallows. Then Go to Walmart and get a cheap Inflatable mattress. Can't be worse than what you have and think of the satisfaction of seeing it go up in flames

Inflatables are great! Very comfortable and not real ex pensive. Get a high one though. The 12 inchers are just too low. Fabulous idea!
