Here’s something that I’m sure the world just needs to know. After many years, my bed finally has a frame. I’ve been sleeping on a mattress on the floor for a long, long time. I stole the frame from a futon that L and I bought back in 2002.
The futon mattress was pretty shitty anyway, and, besides, I really don’t need three couches. I could probably get by with just one, the one that’s in my room now (that I finally got the cushions for after two and half months of them being out of stock at IKEA. Yes, I just admitted to shopping at IKEA. I will now go hang my head in shame.)
I like the bed being up off the floor for two reasons. A) Insulation. This house is well insulated, but the bed would get cold through conduction. I’d be cold on bottom and warm on top. B) It’s easier to sit on and functions as a makeshift couch. My room is currently set up somewhat like a tiny studio. I’ve got a couch, desk, and bed in here. One person can sit on the couch and another on the bed. This works well for playing guitar together, as Isaac and I did just a few days ago.
Anyone want a shitty futon mattress? It’s actually not all that bad, and it’s got a removable, washable cover, and we bought it new. Otherwise, I think it’s going out via craigslist.
