Goldilocks and the Three Beds

Nothing potentially strains a relationship like a major domestic buying decision. Whether it's paint colors or carpet or furniture, there's bound to be some opposing opinions and preferences. 

Then there's mattress buying decisions with Mr. Firm and Mrs. Princess and the Pea.

We've been pondering sizing up from our queen bed to a king bed for some time. And it became evident after hubby's knee surgeries that things that go bump in the night can be painful. Must toss and turn with care!

So thanks to the weird tradition of mattress sales around Presidents Day, we took the plunge today.

It was easier than expected. The salesman treated us like Goldilocks and we got to try out three types of every mattress – the much too firm, the much too soft, and the just right medium. 

We actually found one that was firm enough for him and soft enough for me. I think we'll like it! I hope we do! Of course, since we got to bed so late last night, I was tired and could've slept in any of them. In fact, the test pillows were so comfortable we bought those, too!

So next Sunday it will be delivered. That gives us one week to shuffle things around. We'll move our queen bed down to Carter's room since he flew the nest. But we first need to get rid of the bunkbeds in there. 

Any takers?

Seriously, they are sort of black iron looking and have a twin on top and full bed/folding futon on the bottom. Very good condition. If you or anyone you know is looking, we'll gladly give them away if you'll haul them away. Let us know. First come, first served! 

I also have to order some king bedding and, of course, a dual-controlled heated mattress pad. There's a reason I'm the Princess and the Pea instead of the Crabby Lady Complaining About A Lump in The Mattress!

Sweet dreams!
