Even though it's radiant heat? I'm trying to think of why that would work. The real issue is heat is trapped upstairs

Oh sorry. I saw heat pump and didn't know they did radiators with them. Do you even have a fan? It's a pump isn't it?

Sorry should clarify. We have a furnace and radiators for heat and we installed Mitsubishi heat pumps and a condenser for ac aftermarket

BTW, for those that fight with their woman over thermostat temps, particularly the bedroom, pick up a Nest. Program it to go to your desired temp right after bed to counter her pre-bedtime adjustment, then program it to readjust to her temp right before waking up. She'll complain that it's cold when she wakes up, but when she stomps over to the thermostat it will be set to her temp. She'll suspect somethings up, but if she's like most chicks she can't be bothered to figure out the programming/settings to check.

I swear our apartment is over some geothermal vent or some shit. One of the nice things I liked when we first rented the place was that heat was included in the rent and living up in upstate NY that seemed like a sweet deal. It was in the single digits outside when we first moved in and we had to open the windows to cool it down in there. We have never turned the heat on. That fucking place is 80+ degrees nonstop, it's ridiculous. Worse is the AC unit is only in the living room, so no AC in our bedroom. The BF has a fan blowing on his face all night to stay cool.

I can relate! It was 40 degrees outside, 80 inside with the furnace off. I think the people below is have theirs at the jungle setting.

California King Pillow-top BeautyRest is the mattress I have and the best mattress I have ever slept on. Gonna be sad when I have to find a replacement in a year or two.

My advice is do not buy your wife furniture for her birthday.

Save stuff like furniture for Xmas and anniversaries. My wife and I do "Group" gifts for the house on those 2 days but save special individual stuff for the birthdays.

A bed specifically is a pretty personal thing. I would never think of buying one without my wife lying down on it (and perhaps a quick hump if the opportunity arises)

Purchases like this IMO require input for the end users.



Think about it this way (we are on a gaming forum after all) its a neat idea to have your wife buy you a new gaming computer for your birthday, but you know damn well more often than not its going to be a HP premade machine with integrated graphics card that cant run shit.

LOL it sounds like some of you are the "supertasters" of sleeping. Cant sleep if someone is touching you?

Its hard to come up with a list of conditions where I cant sleep. Other than, if I've gotten 6 hours of sleep I'm wide awake and cant get back to sleep. But 18 hours later I'm ready for sleep and you could pretty much stand there kicking me while I sleep.

Staying awake, on the other hand. That shits challenging.

I should also mention when we we mattress shopping we basically walked around with a "mattress expert".. I know, i know... But he actually listened to what price range we were looking and had us try a million mattresses until we found one perfect for both of us. I'd recommend taking your wife around rather than just buying one.

My wife and I have a king size p5 sleep number. It's ok. Not great not horrible. But wasn't worth the money. We ended up getting a 4 inch foam topper for it, in order to make my wife comfortable on it, especially during her pregnancy.

A friend of mine turned me on to the purple mattress but he hasn't pulled the trigger her. It looks interesting though.

I wonder how those Purple seat cushions are. I need a good one for work.

Good stuff. I was trying to think of a way to shop for one with her but I'll just get some jewelry and then buy this as a household item.

I'm a heavy sleeper and I move around very little. My wife moves around very little. Neither of us want to cuddle when sleeping. She's been out of town for two days so I've been sleeping by myself and I didn't really notice a difference. But yeah king sized bed is the key to marriage.
G and I had our own covers in our king sized bed...me a comforter plus quilt (thermostat was usually set to meat locker) and him a sheet, quilt or lightweight blanket...till the end time when he was cold. We had plenty'o snuggle sexytime and roll over go to sleep under our respectives. The bed seems huge now...I usually find myself diagonal in it now. It took me about 4 months after he died to be able to sleep in it again. I still sleep a lot on the couch too. I miss him a lot when I have a nightmare, or night terror, he was the best at helping me breathe after those. My dog is terrible at it. Little shit.

I call it 'Diagonal Mode' when she does it.

It's like instantaneous too. I always leave for work early and once I got to the end of the street and turned around because I forgot my coffee. I came back in, got the mug, and then went to the bed to kiss her one more time and she was already in full diagonal mode. 4-5 mins, tops.

Wife and I recently splurged on a new bed setup and opted for the tempurpedic with individually adjustable tilt and massagers. Expensive, but holy fuck totally worth the money. Its a pain in the ass to screw on, especially at my fat ass size, because their is nothing solid or bouncy to get some push off of and your knees slide out just when you get a good rhythm going. Best sleep we have ever gotten in our lives, though, and whenever she wants to snuggle she just rolls over and saddles up (which does not bother me unless I am reading).

Its serviceable for serious box munching or a quickey, but any serious banging has to take place on the couch these days (hooray for stain resistant leather) which involves making sure that my lesbian sister in law is not around (or going to be around), but that's a separate issue. I think if it had a backboard or something for a grip point it might help, but the mattress is so mushy that getting a good plant point for your knees is always going to be an issue. Maybe cowgirl if you are into that would work better?

For actual sleep, I have never had a better bed in my life, though.

Can confirm. BF is diagonal as soon as I get up for work in the morning.

As am I. Immediately.

I'll diagonal the shit out of the bed the second they start to get up, don't even wait for them to leave the room.
