With my sister coming two weeks after I move, I need to make sure she has a place to sleep. So tonight I went out looking for a mattress for the guest room. I’m going to be taking money I had put aside for a new couch and putting it into a guest bed.
My first stop was a place in Everett that’s going out of business. They have this awesome futon-like thing that’s a microfiber material. I liked it, but when folded out, it’s smaller than a full-sized mattress. That won’t work. So I think I’m going to go out and buy a real mattress. While I really don’t want to spend a small fortune, I want to get something comfortable for my guests.
For about $500, Bob’s Discount Furniture has a full size Bob-O-Pedic Lite. That’s a memory foam mattress. It’s a good mattress, and I really like it. I could probably get something a little cheaper, but then you get just that, cheap. My dad has the same back problems I do (or should I say that I have the same problems he has) and this won’t leave him unable to walk in the morning when they visit shortly after my sister visits.
Speaking of my sister, she’s throwing around the idea of bringing Sarah with her when she comes up. I’m a little concerned because I think Sarah might get bored. At the same time, Sarah will be awesome at keeping Reggie busy and taking him outside to go potty. You put the Cartoon Network on, and she’s completely entertained. It’s just a shame I don’t get Boomerang. It would keep us both entertained.
