An ah-ha moment this morning. My back is still sore, and it's because of the mattress. And I realized that though I sleep each night in there I am aware of waking up frequently and going back to sleep. I'm still tired in the morning. The mattress is the culprit in my back pain but possibly also some other things that I haven't really codified as issues but are there.

My ex has a spare mattress in his garage - he ordered one high-end latex mattress but it came with a flaw (visual only, but still . . .) so they sent a second. And it also had a flaw. Third time was the charm, but they told him not to return the others, they're very heavy. I made a trip with my truck to pickup a box spring for him that he put in our son's room at his house, but there is still a spare mattress out in the garage. I'll see if he'll give it to me before I go buy a new one, but this has to happen now.
