My Back Wants A New Bed!

Morgan Hill has plenty of furniture stores.  Like most areas, many of these furniture stores seem to be perpetually going out of business – a situation that makes absolutely no sense to me, so if you have any insight into this phenomenon please leave a comment to explain.  Both Zaira and I will thank you profusely!  But that’s not really what I wanted to share with y’all today.  No, I wanted to share my frustration with the lack of bed selection in these various furniture shops.

You see, since moving to morgan hill more than two years ago I’ve been sleeping on a metal framed futon that was clearly not designed for someone of my girth.  At six feet tall and two hundred and fifty pounds I constantly have the metal frame work pressing into one or more parts of my anatomy despite purchasing thicker mattresses.  They all wear thin too quickly.

Compound this problem with the fact that I live in the smallest room in my apartment and have Zaira (my 12 year old daughter) visiting on a regular basis and what I actually need is two beds that occupy the same (or less) space than my current futon.  Not a likely occurence I know.  But I just recently discovered Time 4 Sleep’s selection of guest beds.

They have several models that consist of a single mattress on a platform (better fo rmy back) with a second mattress that slides underneath the platform when not in use (perfect for when Z stays over).  This is exactly what I need.   These beds are compact, affordable, and solid.  The only question remaining is – why can’t I find one around here?

  1. But time 4 sleep is in Huddersfield, in the UK ?

  2. Yeah at times futon mattresses can become very uncomfortable or you can grow out of them quickly. I only have a futon mattress in the living room that folds down. In the bedroom we have a queen sized blow up air mattress that uses a temperpedic cushion. Its very comfortable and reliable. We’ve had it for two years now.

    you should check your local wal mart, when we bought ours a couple years back I believe they were about $99.

    Hope this helps! ;-)

  4. Aren’t futons really uncomfortable?

    I think the reason bed shops go out of business so easily is the saturation of the market and the longevity of the product. I bought my bed, good quality and love it, in 1998 and the mattress of course… and it is still going strong… maybe I will change mattress 5 years down the track… but that is a pretty long time of not needing anything from a bed shop right? I am sure I am not alone.. I just don’t think it would a be a great business – unless you specialised in kids furniture etc as they keep growing out of it!!

    Anyway, hope you found a solution!

  5. Admiring every one of the coach factory outlet store online effort you put in to your blog. I distinct liked this submit. Type regards.

  6. My back don’t need a new bed because every time I buy a bed even if I spend more money I try to buy the best I can so I can have a good sleep. And when I go camping or hiking for me is very important to have a very good sleep.
