Man. Beds are sure expensive :(

Melvin and I have spent a few weekends shopping for beds without much success. I mean - $1000 for a mattress and $1000 for the bedstand? That kinda adds up to 2k and I'm not spending 2k on a bed.

Well, there *are* cheaper mattresses. Those go for what, $300? But Ewww, It's normally too hard and I don't enjoy feeling the springs of the mattress when I lie down. It's either that or the foam mattress. Not exactly what I want either.

Yesterday, we finally saw something we loved and can afford. And surprisingly enough, it was at Courts. I thought I'd never buy furniture from that overpriced/overhyped place.
It was a 2 day sale over the weekend, and among all that, was a Queen Maxcoil mattress going for $439. It's a pocketed spring mattress with a layer for soft foam-like thing (Memory Foam, maybe?) on top. So it had support and it was soft and comfy.
Together with the black PVC bedstand that cost $609, I think we got a very good deal! Especially when they gave an additional $120 discount for buying a mattress + Bedstand set.

All in all, we paid less than $1000 for a good mattress and bedstand.

I'm so excited! Can't wait for it to be delivered in early July.

Oh yes - I'm feeling poor again.
