Kristen, prompted

Home Sweet Home

When you’re away from home, what person, thing, or place do you miss the most?

Hmm. I’m gonna go with, “thing”.

And that would be: my bed.

burgundy bedroom with a window.

I love, love, love my bed! It’s a king-size Luxi mattress and it is the most comfortable thing in the world. The Luxi lets you arrange the mattress layers in several different orders to customize the level of softness, and each person can arrange them how they like on their side of the bed.

So, my side is a little softer and Mr. FG’s is a little firmer, and we are both happy.

My bed includes my very flat pillow, which is also the most comfortable thing in the world.

(I think tall, puffy pillows are an abomination, and my neck agrees.)

I am the most comfortable sleeping on a relatively un-stuffed feather pillow: it’s flat enough to keep my neck at a comfortable angle, and since it’s a feather pillow, I can mush it into just the right shape to fit me.

My current pillow is a $12 Ikea model, recommended to me by my friend Chris, who shares my obsession with Very Flat Pillows. If you love flat pillows, you should give this one a try!

What do you miss most when you travel?

    Same here: I miss my bed the most. I, too, like my pillow flat and when I stay in some hotels without a chance to trade out their fluffy, over-stuffed abominations, I fold up a towel and put that in a pillowcase and use it to sleep.

      A third flat-pillow-lover here. I always thought I was alone in that opinion. I laughed when I read “fluffy, over-stuffed abominations” because I can relate completely.

        Yes! That is a very accurate way to describe it.

    Everything. I am never comfortable anywhere but my own home.

    Mostly my bed! We have a Tuft and Needle mattress and a super fluffy down comforter and yes, a FLAT pillow is a must! I also miss just…well the whole feel of my house. Our house is very cozy and I just love it. Of course I miss the kitties too!

    Hi Kristen. Strange question. I am in the market for a new bed. I have a hybrid now and it sleeps hot. Does your Luxi sleep hot or cool? Thanks!

      So, I would not say it sleeps hot. However, now that I’m in my 40s, I have issues with night sweats at certain times of the month. I think that’s my body’s fault, not the bed, though, because when I was younger, I had no issues.

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
