Papa Got a Brand New Bed

I feeeel good. Dobedobedobido. Like I should. Bodebodibodibop. Sooooo good. Bobop. So Good. Bobop. Bobodibodibop.

Finally - we got my act together and went down to Mattress Discounters on Van Ness to get ourselves a brand new bed. I had never bought a bed before and felt a little lost. Probably the main reason for the procastination that had been going on in my mind. The last bed I had - my pre-maritial bed as I now prefer to call it - I got from my parents 10 years ago when I moved into my first house.

In London I slept on a Futon for years which sucked. I don't care what people say - a Futon is not made for humans with self-respect and / or self-love.

In San Francisco I slept in Erin's bed which was a full size. Not big enough for a man like me. I need to roll around, stretch (the manly exercise of moaning and grunting while stretching your body as far and wide as possible) and have enough space for my physical delight as well as ego.

So we bought a king size Sealy Posturepedic and had it delivered within 48 hours. I have to say that the whole process - from decision-making to delivery really impressed me. I've always seen these "Discount" shops with a very sceptical eye - promising big to make you sign but once done delivering small. In this case they exceeded my expectations. The salesman promised that the delivery guys would call the same day to give us the 4-hour window for delivery. They did. The sales man then promised that the delivery guys would call 1-hour before delivery. They did.

The first thing they did when they came was to ask me where I wanted the bed, if the should dump the old bed et cetera. It wasn't just dump and go. I felt that they really cared about my needs and their business. The delivery guys had the bed unpacked, assembled and our old bed taken-away within 15 minutes. You could tell that these guys had done this before and had the whole process nailed down in detail. These guys where focused and on a mission. They were so damned impressive that I'm writing about it in my blog.

The bed itself is fantstic. It's like a newborn cloud floating around in the sky with the only mission to please it's master. I'm actually writing this story from this soft, warm, comforting.... Zzzzzzzzzzzz.........
