[quote=Anonymous]We stay with my DW's sister and her family when we travel to see her extended family. They are unbelievably incredibly amazingly generous and we are extraordinarily grateful for their hospitality. However, the mattress in their guest bedroom is completely shot. It has a crater in the middle, so DW and I end up rolling together in a hot, angry pile. It squeaks every time either of us moves. The sides have some high-tension wire binding that actually cuts into your skin if you sit on the edge too long. Honestly, we never get a decent night's sleep. Is there any way to tell her this that doesn't sound like we are ungrateful glassbowls? SIL buys quality stuff, so a new mattress will run them $1K minimum. She has other guests from time to time, but I would say we represent at least 75% of her guest traffic. Do we offer to help pay for a new mattress? Or just suck it up? [/quote]
