Our home reno: Got our bed and mattress!

G and I popped by Star Living today just to walk around and digest our lunch. Little did we know that we would end up buying the bed and mattress for our Master bedroom! 

We started out checking out some of their coffee tables and sofa beds actually. We saw one green sofa bed that seemed pretty  comfy and easy to fold out. And it didn't seem to big to fit into our study room. It cost about $670 which I guess is a decent price. But I guess we wanted to make sure our study's big enough for it and that its colour would match the carpentry laminates. 

So we ended up in the bed and mattress area of the place. G and I decided to randomly try out the different mattresses and ask about their differences. The sales auntie who served us was very helpful and patient. She explained to us the different mattress types (eg. Innerspring, pocket spring, memory foam) and told us the differences. Basically, if we want good back support, go for pocket spring mattresses because they are firmer. Memory foam mattress (eg. by Tempur) are very soft and comfy to sleep but they're not good for the back. G loves the soft ones but I thought it's better to get one that's good for health! I guess I've been brain washed from young that firmer mattresses are better in general. 

We were introduced to one King Koil mattress and it seemed pretty good! Firm enough for good back support and comfy enough for us to sleep on. It's the Ultra pedic series. Not sure what made us decide so quickly but we went ahead to confirm our order! And we even got the bed frame even though I've wanted a woodsy scandi bed frame. 

I suppose I was swayed when the auntie told me that wooden frames are not good when we are gonna have a baby since she may hit against the hard surface. My maternal instincts must have persuaded me to get the plush bed frame instead. Decided to get off white colour to try to fit to the theme hehe. 

We also opted for the frame with storage so that we can hide all our barang away. 

Total cost was $2,000! Part of it was the $600 top up for the storage space. We kinda feel more broke now -.- But I guess we have one less thing to buy and worry about! We intend to only get it delivered in Feb since we won't be moving in do soon!
