I asked my kids (boys ages 9 and 7) why they always want to sleep in my bed. They said they love my bed. It has “soft covers and the sheets are always cold.” I felt like such a loser. My bed is cushy and my kids are sleeping on firm, boring mattresses. So, after a little pondering I found the Dreamshield Ultra mattress pad at Linens and Things.

Someone had opened one of the packages (no, it wasn’t me!) and this thing is the softest, most wonderful mattress pad in the whole world! No joke. It feels like fluffy down. Cool and light and so squishy. I wanted one for myself.

Unfortunately, they’re having a buy one get one 1/2 off sale on bedding right now, so there were only two left in the store. I’m buying mine online and getting FREE shipping (woo hoo!) and I’ll still get the sale price. Not sure when the sale ends, so check it out now while you can. The Dreamshield Ultra is also anti-mite (good to have if you’ve read anything on creepy dust mites), anti-bacterial and water and stain resistant.

Oh, and check out the magic gel pillows. They feel like down, but without the dent after you lie on it thing.
