"What is the one thing you think about when you yawn*, smell the rain outside*, your eyelids are having difficulty holding up*?"

Answer:

THE BED

Satisfaction Guaranteed!

We are just such an oddball of a couple! While all typical going-to-marry couples are busy preparing their wedding, researching on all other things related to their one big day, we, on the other hand, were researching with much enthusiasm for ... THE BED.

THE BED, is an important part of our life, we spent a good 1/3 of a day on it. OR, most of the week ends on it... SO, shouldn't it be of top priority? Doesn't matter that Bryan stays in camp most of the night, and I, am far away over at the East Coast.. and THE BED, will only be utilised over the weekend.. IT WAS STILL TOP PRIORITY!

We were contemplating what kind of bed to get. There were just to many choices in the market.

Thank goodness we had a clear idea what we wanted:

CRITERIA:

1. Good for our back (As we both have back pains)
2. Big enough for the both of us (We are currently squeezed on a super single, and a KING is too much.. we would probably lose each other on it!)
3. Not too soft (We don't wish to melt into it)
4. Storage facilities (Limited space, too many things)
5. Build in cooling function (Too much heat going on in SG)
6. MOST IMportantly ~ AFFORDABLE ~ 

I guess, with a clear objective and focus, we went out on our hunt for THE BED.

We went to Expo while they were having their furniture sale... pounce on a large variety of bed,

went to Ubi to pounce on even more beds, IMM to leave our body impression, Toa Paoyah Courts to test, at the very end, we still headed back to the good ol' Expo after 2 months of searching.

Gone were the days of limited variety, flat spring beds eg, King Koil *Doooiiinnngg*

In the market, there are big names like, Simmons, Serta, Posturepedic ... just to name a few. Each bed comes with never before seen "technology" and unbelievable "price tags".

There are also lesser known ones like Maxcoil..

So many choices, but at the end, we found THE BED, with good ol' Slumberland.

Did not burn a hole in our pocket and comes with decent "technology".

It was a happy choice and we bought on the spot!

And days after that, all we could think about was THE BED...

Post bed shopping dilemma

Getting the bed was one thing, thinking of how the bed could fit the room was another.

There were many rounds of shifting of furniture within the 4 walls of Bryan's room.

Tons of stuff to throw to accomodate THE BED, and more importantly, the new lady boss thats coming in a few months!

Then next, comes buying of Bed sheet cover. It doesn't help that bed sheet covers of good quality comes with an equal "good price" $$$. We looked a little, and realise, the cost really has no justification.

BUT, not forgeting that lady boss loves shopping, and bed sheet cover happens to be one of her soft spot. And by chance 1 evening, we dropped by our favourite place, Expo, and found the best deals for good quality bed sheet covers!

**NOTE: Only buy bedsheet covers during such mega sale at Expo! Super worth it**

On 4th October, a day after returning from Bangkok, it was what we have been waiting for, delivery of THE BED. Excitedly, we woke up "earlier than expected" to wait for its arrival.

After it was fixed in, to our awe, its nice, new headboard and storage area, clean and white mattress... our eyes sparkled! But, with one problem, it turned out SOooo HUGE! And we had to spend the remaining day shifting the furnitures within the room to accomodate it.

And after a long day, when we finally lay in THE BED, all that we had gone through for it was worth it, its firm, yet comfortable, with our new comforter, gone are those days of squeezing, snatching of blanket from one another, and falling off of beds...

Till then....

Love,

Bryan & Rowena
