Finally, you and your special someone can have a proper snuggle without join pain, dead-arm, or worse, breaking up. I think Brodie, Jason Lee' s character in Mallrats, put it best:
Brodie: You know how when someone lays with their back to you and you lay behind ' em really close and you throw one arm over ' em?
TS.: It' s called "spooning."
Brodie: Yeah, but you gotta put the other arm somewhere. You can either lay on it or just shove it between your bodies. The only other option is to stretch it above your head. But sometimes my arm pops out of socket when I' m sleeping like that. So I was constantly searching for someplace to keep my arm while still laying close to her.
T.S.: And?
Brodie: What do you mean, "And"? That' s like a metaphor for our whole relationship!
Love Mattress to the rescue! I found this gem while perusing http://designismine.blogspot.com.
There are slits every few inches down the mattress to accomodate the body parts that usually get squished in an embrace.
According to its designer, Mehdi Mojtabi, "Embracing is a magical human behaviour, and one that distinguishes us from other animals. A loving embrace, especially between partners, is one of the most calming actions. Embracing, and bodily proximity and connection after lovemaking, are very important for strengthening relationships. However, what usually stops this pleasant state is not mental tiredness; it is physical weakness."
I' d probably buy one, except that my dog sleeps in my bed and I imagine she' d get stuck and make a real mess of the covers. Plus, we rarely spoon.
