We're in the process of searching for a new bed. The hardest part about finding a bed is determining what to do with the other furniture in the room. Do we buy a new nightstand, hutch, and dresser or live with what we currently have?
It's also important to pay attention to the shape of the room the furniture will go in. If it's oddly shaped or doesn't have enough wall space it makes it hard to pick out the pieces of furniture you want.
We're currently sleeping on a futon I bought for my first apartment. Its seven years old now and I've slept on it for five of those years. It's about had it as a bed. It's going to retire to the computer room.
We also tested mattresses Tuesday night. They are so comfortable. I can't believe we're still sleeping on a futon. It's important to note that the futon mattress we're currently sleeping on has springs in it and is not just a regular old flimsy mattress. But still, a real mattress would be a great improvement.
