Sleep Number Bed

I’m so excited because we are actually getting a new bed!!!!! Our bed is terribly uncomfortable. It’s a waterbed and the frame was made by Don Jr. in shop class at IMS in about 1984 or earlier. The mattress was a hand-me-down from Don & Isy because it was worn out for their tastes. It has LONG since lost the baffles so it is a free flowing bed and every time one of us turns over the other usually wakes up! After months of research and shopping and actually testing (sleeping on Amy & Jeff’s bed) we’ve decided that the Sleep Number Bed is for us! They even tipped us off to the factory outlet so we are getting it for 50% of the mall-selling stores. I’m practically counting down the days until it arrives in the MAIL… (interesting huh?). Now I must have some new sheets and then I’ll need a new quilt to match, (this picture is one I have my eye on...) then we might as well clean the carpet while there is no bed in there and then we might as well take down the wallpaper border because it won’t match the quilt anymore and if the border is down, we might as well paint. This will lead us to need new curtains and a window seat cushion too. We’ll need a headboard and we might as well get a dresser to replace our Sauder version… hmmmm, I think I could write a book, “If you give Leah a new mattress”.
