Beds
Beds. New beds all around! So, Easton has been growing like crazy, and the day bed that we made out of his crib was just not cutting it. This was a bit emotional for me as it meant no more use for the crib. (Maybe one day we will make it into a spare double bed in the basement as it is meant to convert but for now it is will be taken apart). We decided to give him our bed which is a queen size bed and is still in great shape despite buying it in 1999 (when Brian moved to Toronto). The decision for this was two fold, he would get a bigger bed and an old bed for jumping and such made more sense as a kids bed.
If it weren't for Easton needing a bigger bed, this bed still has lots of life left in it and we would have kept it for ourselves.
He was happy to receive it, and the new Star Wars bedding to go with it!
So, with this, we now needed a new bed. So, we went bed shopping. This is actually just a lot of laying down.
We spent some time on Brian's lunch hour to do this with the kids at school and then some more time where we brought them with us to multiple stores.
After much research, price comparing (which is difficult as every store has a different bed name even if made by the same company), and after many 15 minute lay down tests, we decided on the Simmons Beautyrest Elite Everrest King mattress from Sleep Country with some new down feathered pillows.
Here is the blurb from the website in case anyone is interested:
The centre third of the mattress contains a Titanium Lumbar Core so your body gets the support it needs. Evolution
