My current mattress is a little too soft for my bad back’s liking. And it’s just too big. I’m decidedly single at this point, have never been too tied to possessions in general, and so for me my queen mattress is just a nervous tick on the side of crazy. It’s time to downsize.
So, I wanted a picture of the relative sizes of standard mattresses to help me think through this. Tada, OmniGraffle to the rescue. Picture attached. (I realize they look like sticky notes. Mildly funny to me.)
| Mattress type | Width (inches) | Height (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| Twin | 39 | 75 |
| Full (Double) | 54 | 75 |
| Queen | 60 | 80 |
| King | 76 | 80 |
Looks like a full-size mattress will be in my future.

I saw this on Groupon and figured this might be of interest: http://www.groupon.com/deals/sleep-doctor-mattress-stores
At first glance of the thumbnail sized preview in my reader, I thought you were pasting the tom-tom layout of an electric kit. I hoped maybe you were channeling your inner Bruford! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T-DcSAIagk
Iron! Bringing out the Bruford reference. Nice. That video led me to this absolutely brilliant 12 minute clip of Ginger playing at Royal Albert Hall. I’ve not seen a better recording of him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gze0PxDKgQ
