My bed, or more accurately my used-Wal-mart-futon-couch, has been giving me terrible back pain.
I removed the 10+ layers of stuff/padding in between the sheets and the mattress.
This is the pile of: 1 futon cover, 1 futon cover from a different futon, 3 mattress pads, 2 flat sheets, some scraps of fabric that at one time acted as curtains, 1 sleeping bag, 2 disaster blankets and 1 foam pad thing.
I also tried to fluff the futon up a little.
Because the previous owners of the futon were hippies of some sort; every time I wash or reposition the inner layers of my bed system, the faint stench of patchouli fills my apartment.
When I was done; the bed at least looked more comfortable.
When I got up the next morning the crippling back pain had just moved to a new section of my back.
I have now moved the pile-of-bed off of it's bed frame and onto the floor. The thought being that maybe it was the frame that injured me.
Well, the pain is slightly less. And again has moved to a new section of my back.
The first thing I'm going to do when I get an actual job is buy a new bed.
