It has to be the warmth of my mother's hands that so delicately and compassionately prepare it and ensure my best of sleeps.

The bed must have a foam at least 4 inches thick and it must be a soft foam or else i could not sleep. The bed must have clean and good smelling linens & pillows too. Anything less than that would keep me awake at night.

Actually, I am NOT. I stay in a lot of hotel throughout the year since my work involves lots of travels. One only gets to be a nightmare if one is too unreasonably demanding. And I am not unreasonable, just demanding. LOL!

A person’s bed should be a sanctuary; it is a place to fully relax and let the stresses of the day melt away as you fall soundly asleep. That is, of course, assuming that said bed is comfortable. Even when faced with a hand-me-down, brick of a mattress, there are ways to make any bed softer and more comfortable. First, you will want to check your mattress for any stains or signs of dirtiness. If dirty, rent a steam cleaner from your local grocery store and follow the instructions to clean your mattress. Place a foam mattress topper directly on top of the mattress. Choose either a memory foam or egg crate style topper, depending on your preference and budget. Place a featherbed directly on top of the foam mattress topper. Cover the mattress and both layers with a mattress pad for protection and to hold the comfy layers in place. Dress your bed with the softest, most comfortable sheets you can find. Choose the fabric that best suits your personal preference. Place a thin blanket on top of your sheets. In warmer climates, or in the summertime, you may skip this step. Top your bed with a down comforter, quilt, or duvet of your choice. Add at least two pillows of your preferred firmness level on top, sink into your newly comfortable bed, and wonder how you will ever force yourself to get up again. The last and the most important share it with somebody you love. These are all the things I do

Comfort is #1... that makes all other things come into place... except maybe for size. If you have two people trying to sleep in a twin bed that might be a little uncomfortable. I like my bed a little on the firm side with a 'topper' on the top of it (something I can wash, NOT a pillowtop mattress). Thanks Zelo
