I like the old freezer on the top. My hubby and I are alone now, and I like to shop in bulk.... so I'm in the freezer a lot and find I like it at eye level. We bought a temperpedic (knock off.... still great quality though) for near $1,000. My hubby also has had back surgery and titanium in his back. We had a tubed water bed.... love our temperpedic type. Good support, not hot, very light to move!!!
