Mason's trampoline

My living room has somehow been transformed into a playground. Let me give you the background as to why. Josh has had back problems for the last couple of years. I have had back problems since I was 18. We bought an outrageously priced Tempurpedic mattress 2 yrs ago to assist with these problems. Knowing that it is a large purchase, we were happy to know that there is a warranty. Unfortunately, the waranty is very specific. Josh is under the impression that the mattress is failing to support him properly. I can neither confirm or deny this. I have no idea. My back always hurts too! The waranty says "this warranty covers any deterioration in the cell structure of the materials that causes the mattress to have a visible indentation greater than 3/4 of an inch, not associated with a sag in the foundation of the platform." I told Josh that he was more than welcome to call and dispute this one, cuz I just think I'd start laughing.

Anyway...

Josh decided that an air mattress could be the answer to his troubles. "Air pushes back against weight." Sure thing, dear. He has since borrowed a very high tech inflatable mattress from his friend and set it up in our living room. Sure, we have 3 bedrooms in the house, but none that will accommodate said mattress currently. There is now a queen sized trampoline in my front room. Mason is loving it, no doubt! I've been dedicated on keeping him off my fireplace hearth this last week and now Josh has provided perfect access to it. Mason is in heaven (and admittedly, he won't get hurt if he falls off the hearth now).
It's still too soon to tell if the air mattress will help Josh's back. Hope so!
