We made our bed.









Later, we're going to lie in it!

(We originally priced frames for our new platform bed, so we would have something to support our new memory foam mattress. After realizing that we couldn't find any for under $200, we designed and built our own with $50 worth of lumber and hardware. We win!)

GO YOU! Right on!

PS, I've been thinking about memory foam... Did you buy the big $$ t-brand? Was it muchos expensive? Is it worth it?

These questions and many more brought to you by 'exhaustion', get yours FREE with the purchase of two lousy jobs and not enough sleep! :D

1. I actually like the Space Bed (It's out of this world!) quite a bit. It's a little softer than I'd like, but the weird thing about memory foam is that it's soft yet firm... I guess because it only squishes down at pressure points.

2. Jen likes it very much, though. She was having a lot of problems with waking up with pain in our old bed, and she hasn't been feeling that way with this one. I noticed that due to the way it squishes, I can sleep on my side all night if I want without feeling any pain in my shoulder. Yay!

3. HECK NO we didn't pay any kind of expensive full price!! We ordered from some shady website called www.foam4u.com and got a king-sized 6" mattress made of one kind of foam, a 1" eggcrate made of memory foam, and a 3" mattress topper of memory foam (10 exciting inches of foamy goodness!) for $489. So the entire king-sized bed (whole mattress combo plus platform (no boxspring required)) cost under $550. Sweet!

I'm SO excited about it!

Jen did the bulk of the work, though. We discussed, she drew a plan, we discussed some more, went shopping. I provided cheap cost-cutting measures. She measured and cut the wood, I measured and cut sticky felt for the bottoms of all the feet. She drilled most of the screws and I provided the counterweight. Good times.

You can't really tell in the photos, but it's really cheap wood - studs mostly, and full of knots. But who cares, there's a big ass bed on top of it!

(We won't really be able to, say, take it apart and reuse it, though.)

p.s. I'm glad we met, too. :)

Poor Bill - he's too busy being the Mercury God of Ohio to be building things around the house. (But if I remember correctly, you're pretty handy! Besides, you can put your kids to work!)

Yeah! We were sorry to miss the housewarming, but hope to see the new digs soon. If the bed is any indication, your apartment is probably absolutely lovely. *hug*

If you want to see the bed a little more up close and personal...

Come to think of it, we have three beds here. *wink*

Tell him to come on over! There's lots of room on the big bed (and two other beds to choose from - how on earth did we end up with three beds?)!
