Chinese beds are not like American beds. They are hard, impressively hard. In Nanjing, Sarah said that it was like there was no mattress and we slept directly on the boxspring. In Suzhou, we had beds with a mattress and boxspring, and on top of the mattress a board had been inserted in each bed, sewn in and covered with a mattress pad under the sheet. It was better than sleeping on the floor, barely.
One of the other teachers told me she put the comforter on the bed and slept under her dress. These are some hard beds. My husband would be delighted. Sarah says that one of the things she is looking forward to most is her pillowtop bed at home.
