Queen Sized
I bought a Queen sized bed at Sam’s club last night(2 nights ago, I accidentally wrote this without posting it).
A friend with a truck helped me get it home and into the living room but my roommate and I said we would finish getting it to my room upstairs. The box spring definitely did not want to fit up the stairs. Oh well, it has to be possible right?
We removed the iron railing, thinking maybe we can get it at a different angle. Nope.
We (by that I mean Kevin) pulled the entertainment system out so that maybe we could get a better angle. Nope.
We went back to the logical way you would just take it up the stairs, but this time when we got it wedged in there, we just kept pushing and pulling. 1 ft left, 6 inches left, 3″, 2″, 1″, 1 more inch, and we finally got it. The frame needed to twist a little to get it up there, but no damage, and it was finally able to join the mattress in my room.
Its so nice having a bed where my feet don’t go over the end of the bed. I am not super tall, but at ~6′ I am not short either. I made my sheets fit the bed, but I am looking for new ones because the corners just don’t look right where they are.
I didn’t get a pillow top for 3 reasons.
Reason 1: the pillow top mattress was $150 more
Reason 2: If the pillow goes flat, you need a whole new mattress. If you just spend $125 on a memory foam topper, its replaceable.
Reason 3: I don’t like mattresses that soft anyway.
