First a funny story, and then the point of the post.
A few days before we were married, Beth moved into what would become our apartment. We bought a set of Queen-sized mattresses, which came with a free frame, and set them up in the bedroom with the beautiful quilt my grandmother made for our wedding. Beth's roommate Beth Shurtleff (Novak at the time) was still staying in the apartment until the wedding on Saturday. She was so excited about the new bed that she ran across the room, vaulted into the air, and soared squealing with joy onto our bed. That little stunt was accompanied by the sound of wood cracking. That's right- before Beth and I were ever able to share that bed, Beth S. broke the framing of the foundation (box spring, but without springs). We replaced that a few years later- around the time we moved into this house.
Now the point of the post: After 6 years and 2 months of sleeping on mattresses supported by a free metal frame (we did have a headboard for a while but that's another funny story in itself), we finally bought a bed. Here's a "before" picture:
And here's an "after" picture:
