New furnitures

 My wife has been complaining of backache when asleep on a couch before TV. It is an old one we bought almost 30 years ago. Its cushion is "tired" and the central portion was settled a bit, which might be causing her backache. We have talking of purchasing a new couch. It could be a present commemorating her retirement. 

We have been to a big furniture store and found a good couch with spring cushion. It might be resilient enough and would last long, at least, for another decade until either of us go to heaven and the other would come into a facility for aged. We have decided to purchase it. It is already set in the living dining room. It was not a perfect solution to her backache but has still been of help to her. She is watching TV lying there with our cat Hikaru. 

I also have been considering of replacing my chair in my room. Pretty old one. A portion of the back fur was torn. At the store, I was fascinated by this chair made in Norway. It seemed good for relaxation. Honestly, the size is a bit too big for reading or writing etc. The reclining is, however, perfect. I love it so much. Again, it may accompany with me for the rest of my life.

We also replaced the bed mattresses. The old ones were almost 40 years old and again pretty tired for cushioning. The new ones have tight spring cushion. The manufacturer says it is a high density continuous spring system with polyesther hollow structure on each side. The tension is high and evenly distributed. In addition, as they advertize, it would last for 10 or 20 years, longer than the other types of beds. It is long enough for us. 

Most of our furnitures or electrical items are getting old as the owners are. It will be the last timing to replace them now. We won't spend much money for travelling or the other enjoyments any longer. We might be allowed to waste some for such a thing now.
