Blood, Urine and Red Wine --- We Got a New Bed!!

After ditching our nine year old king size bed (via a trip to the dump) prior to our move from Boise to Price, we've been sleeping on a futon for the last month. Sure, its a quality futon mattress that has springs and supports you well enough that you never feel a futon bar but, its still not a real bed and isn't the most comfortable thing in the world.

For the last month, my pickup, along with my dirt bike and enough other stuff to fill a 5' x 8' trailer and the pickup box have been sitting in Boise. We made a retrieval trip over the 4th of July and with the truck now here, we were able to make the trip to the SLC area for a mattress purchase.

We opted for Denver Mattress Company based primarily on the availability of reputable mattresses that don't cost over $2000. We didn't have much difficulty finding a comfortable bed (and at $500 for a queen size, it fit our budget well too) but we also invested in the Value Pack which includes two pillows, a mattress pad and a bed care and cleaner kit. And just what is the bed care and cleaner kit good for you ask? It includes a protectant spray but also includes a cleaner that's great for blood, urine and red wine. Blood, urine, and red wine?? I went to college and was in a fraternity during my time at UWyo but I still had to ask... what kind of night did you have when its time to clean blood, urine and red wine from your mattress?

And if you think our salesman was the only one enjoying our presence, you're mistaken. I flopped down on the right side of one mattress that already had another salesman sitting on the left side. I let him know I was setting up for a snuggle and even rolled over but apparently he wasn't interested in a good spooning. Oh well, his loss.

Regardless of whatever Hunter S. Thompson'esque adventures the salesmen at Denver Mattress Co embark on (though obviously the non-spooning prude isn't in on those), we're happy to have a real bed again and to now be fully moved in to our rental in Price.
