There would be more exclamation points, but we didn't actually take it home - it'll be delivered on Sunday. I'm excited though! For most of my life I slept on someone else's cast off mattress. The first time I got a new mattress - and a higher quality one - was in 2005 shortly after I got my job. A year and a half later I was living with Paul and that was the end of sleeping in my new mattress and back to sleeping on a cast off that Paul had been burrowing a channel in for a few years himself. So yay!!!! Next is to just buy a new "bed" to put the mattress on, but I'm not in a very big hurry about that one.

When we moved last we couldn't get our box spring out of our apartment building. We tried three different times. I have no idea how the store delivery guys got it in and up to our floor, since they magically just appeared on day at our door. I wound up having to saw literally saw and cut it in half and throw it out.

So now we just have a mattress, which sucks because so many bed designs expect a box spring. I guess ones that don't are called "platform beds", but it tends to be a pain to find nice ones.

We don't have a box spring either and it ended up saving us $150 off of our mattress and the bed frame we got from Ikea was cheaper than the ones that require a box spring too. The down side is that a mattress doesn't last as long if it's not properly supported...

We got our bed!!!
