let's talk about getting a new bed

zach and i are getting a new bed with our tax refund. and we're ecstatic about it! we have been married almost 2 years and have been sleeping on a free mattress we got from craigslist right after we moved in together after the wedding.

well, to remember correctly, for the first month we lived together after the wedding, we slept on zach's full mattress. um, we are NOT small people. and it was miserable. we got next to no sleep, and not because we were getting it on. we could barely breathe without waking the other up. not pleasant.

so when we moved into our new place, we found a free bed set on CL and brought it home. the bed has served us well but it's getting thinner and more lumpy and depresses me to no end. no surprise, we're ready for a new bed!

we put getting a new bed at the top of our priority list not too long ago. and it's finally time to follow through! hooray!!

once again, i've gone to CL to see what deals i can find.. i have been surprised by a lot of dealers trying to sell mattresses. we have about $700 allocated for the new mattress, box springs and frame. i found a new pillowtop mattress and box spring in the factory plastic for $265! we may go and look at mattress stores to see if we can find anything that's just amazing, but i am kind of intrigued, for sure.

and i am dying for a good night's sleep!!!! hooray for tax refunds! and hooray for new beds!
