It’s nearly midnight, and I still can’t sleep. All I learned during the day was when I reached for those devices that I call smartphones. “The night is still young, you know,” someone’s voice startled me out of my phone-scrolling trance, as I was just hoping to find something interesting.
I turned to see who it was. It was my roommate, Afiq, who had just returned from his night shift at the convenience store. He looked tired and annoyed, probably because he had to deal with rude customers and low pay.
“Sorry, did I wake you up?” I asked, feeling guilty.
“No, you didn’t. But you should really get some sleep, man. You look like a zombie,” he said, as he threw his backpack on the floor and collapsed on his bed.
“I know, I know. But I can’t help it. I have insomnia,” I said, as I put my phone away and turned off the light.
“Insomnia? That’s a fancy word for being addicted to your phone,” he said, chuckling.
“Hey, it’s not funny. It’s a serious condition. I’ve tried everything. Sleeping pills, meditation, herbal tea, you name it. Nothing works,” I said, feeling frustrated.
“Have you tried changing your mattress?” he asked.
“My mattress? What does that have to do with anything?” I asked, confused.
“A lot, actually. You know, your mattress can affect your sleep quality and health in many ways. If it’s too old, too soft, too hard, or too dirty, it can cause you to have back pain, allergies, or even infections,” he explained.
“Really? How do you know all this?” I asked.
“Well, I’ve been doing some research online. You see, I’ve been saving up for a new mattress for a while now. And I’ve found the perfect one. It’s called Greetings V Full Vegan Anti-Dust Mite Mattress. It’s made from 100% natural materials, like latex and nor harmful materials. It’s hypoallergenic, antibacterial, and anti-dust mite. It’s also breathable, durable, and comfortable. It’s like sleeping on a cloud,” he said, with a dreamy look in his eyes.
“Wow, that sounds amazing. How much does it cost?” I asked.
“Well, it’s not cheap. But it’s worth it. It’s an investment for your health and happiness. Besides, they have a special offer right now. If you buy one online before the end of the month, you get a free pillow and a 10-year warranty,” he said.
“Really? That’s tempting. But how do you know if it’s good? Have you tried it yourself?” I asked.
“Not yet. But I’ve read a lot of positive reviews from other customers. They say it’s the best mattress they’ve ever had. They say it helps them sleep better, feel more refreshed, and have more energy during the day,” he said.
“Hmm… Maybe I should give it a try too,” I said.
“You should. Trust me, you won’t regret it. Here, let me show you their website,” he said, as he reached for his phone and opened the browser.
He typed in the URL and showed me the screen. There was a picture of a smiling couple lying on a white bed with a green logo that said Greetings V Full Vegan Anti-Dust Mite Mattress. There was also a catchy slogan that said “Sleep well tonight and wake up to a better tomorrow”.
I looked at the website and felt intrigued. Maybe Afiq was right. Maybe changing my mattress could change my life. Maybe this was the solution to my insomnia problem.
“Alright, you convinced me. Let’s order one right now,” I said.
“Really? Awesome! Let’s do it!” he said, excited.
We clicked on the “Buy Now” button and filled in our details. We chose the size that fit our room and the delivery date that suited our schedule. We also added the free pillow to our cart and applied the discount code that we found online.
We confirmed our order and paid with our credit card. We received a confirmation email that thanked us for our purchase and promised us a fast and safe delivery.
We looked at each other and smiled.
“We did it! We bought a new mattress!” Afiq said.
“We did! We bought a new mattress!” I echoed.
We high-fived each other and hugged.
We felt happy and hopeful.
Maybe this was the start of something new.
Maybe this was the end of our sleepless nights.
Maybe this was the beginning of our dreams coming true.
