the dr. and i decided to get a new bed recently.
we started shopping, only to realize that this adventure is much like buying a car. Fook.
so we head out, visiting the circuit of bed shops on Van Ness Avenue. it seems silly to tell you that there are three bed shops within two blocks of each other, and they are very, very similar.
Sleeptrain - the scent of musk.
Mancini's - some guy who only acknowledged us as we walked out the door.
Mattress Discounters - wait, what's different here? oh, no scent of musk.
IMHO - turns out that mancini's is just worthless. a $15k bed? what? what? i can't hear you over the sound of that one gunshot.
Sleeptrain and Mattress Discounters are the same deal - the only discernible difference is that one lets you try a bed for 60 days, the other one 90 days.
we're getting one from a discount outlet on 9th street. seriously, we almost bought a tempur pedic. but then we read this article - and realized that maybe we should buy a bed for $2k sometime. just not now. thank you Restonic.
Confidential to Restonic - your website blows in a serious fashion. work it out, doobs.

Indeed, bed shopping ranks up there pretty high on the "Ugh." list for me as well, but not as high as car shopping. We ended up with a Serta Perfect Sleeper I think. We kept the shitty Ikea frame, though. :) I'd like to have a better frame, even a set for the bedroom, but yeah, it's a long and tedious process.
