Chit-Chat: On Tuesdays Oryx and Triforce think it's Wednesday

[Oryx]

That was 100% satire, though they aren't inexpensive by any means. One of the cheaper queen sets from Sears goes for upwards of $300 but that's brand new and excellent quality so of course you're gonna get what you've paid for in that case.

As someone who just did price research on queen beds to buy one, that estimate is off - they're significantly more. A high quality queen bed will run you over 1000 bucks, and anything around 500 is a steal. I was looking to pay in that range and there was literally one mattress in every store in my price range. Keep in mind that the boxspring is another 150 as well and you've got quite a lot.

I've only got a king sized single

[Shining Raichu]

Oryx if I were you I'd just buy the mattress and get the rest of the bed later lol

 

[Tsutarja]

When my brother lived at home with my family, all he slept on was a mattress with a frame, and not an actual bed.

 

[Shining Raichu]

I'm confused... I thought mattress + frame = bed

Maybe you need a headboard. Sheets would be useful, too. Also, pillows.

 

[antemortem]

Headboard? Never understood those. Just put it up against a wall.

 

[infranto]

I thought headboards were just for show in movies and stuff lol. I didn't realise people actually use them. *facepalm*

Since when does mashing together some wood, cloth and springs cost so much?

Likewise. I don't really even get why having anything other than a mattress on the floor is all that desirable lol.

 

[isthatyoudan]

I think headboards are more for vanity. Of course you don't technically need them, but it makes the bed prettier than just having a mattress on the floor. Also, some of them have shelves for holding stuff, y'know. Those headboards are cool and useful.

 

[Oryx]

I need one, but I'm rhe exception and I don't need it YET - I have baseboard heating and I need to make sure nothing falls on thr baseboards or else things will catch on fire and I will die.

That's the exception though, not the rule.

Well, it's not necessarily a bed; the mattress just sits on a box frame and nothing more. It doesn't have a headboard nor a footboard.

..they make footboards too?

I'm obviously too poor for all of this.

I think it's the part at the end of the bed where your feet rest. My bed has one haha

 

[antemortem]

My mother's bad has one of those actually. Convenient for sitting and not much else

 

[Shining Raichu]

As a kid I just had a mattress and base, none of this fancy headboard stuff :P

 

[Sonata]

I have an old bed frame that's 150 years old. That's the only reason that I have foot or headboards.

 

[Shining Raichu]

Literally 150 years old like an olden time pilgrim type thing?

 

[antemortem]

I don't think 150 years extends to that age!
