That's tricky, Kevin. Before you buy, you may want to go to a mattress store and try some mattresses out so you know the brands and models before committing any money.

As for the frame, what kind of material do you want, Wood or (Major) Metal? Would you like a mattress with or without a boxspring?

I've seen beds on Amazon.com but I can't vouch for their quality. You might also consider the advantages of spending your money locally.

Sorry I gave more questions than answers, but a bed is a very personal thing to choose remotely. You'll be spending as much or (ideally) more time on it than at your desk at work!

Bingo. My family's business is mattresses (and to a lesser extent custom furniture and upholstery) and I built and delivered beds over summers when I was younger. One of those summers my uncle told me one of the only real truths he'd learned was that you spend a third of you r days working so you'd better like your job and you spend a third of your days sleeping so you'd better have a good bed.

To me beds are like tattoos in that it's not really a place where you want to try an save a few bucks by going cheap. It should last you 10 years or so which means even a $1000 difference is only $100 a year for something you'll use pretty much every night.

Just something to think about.

OR


Only used one time. Filming a porno. With lotsa e.v.o.o.
