After years of talking about it, we finally broke down and bought a new mattress set for our bedroom. Ours was 30 years old and the life expectancy of a mattress is 10 years max (YIKES). We have looked and looked and finally found one we thought would work. It was pretty tall in the showroom and the saleslady asked Ken if we wanted a 6" or 12" boxsprings. Since we have a sleigh bed, he figured that 12" would work just fine.
I was running errands when the mattress set came - Chase called me and told me to bring home a step ladder. He wasn't kidding!
I'm going to have to go on a bedding hunt to find a new bedspread that will cover both the mattress and box springs.
We did have them bring us the 6" box springs, but trust me, there is no kneeling down to pray at this bedside. It's still plenty tall even with the new one.
I thought I would show a picture of how tall the bed is next to my great-grandma's chair so you can get a better visual of it.
Anyone have a spare toddler stool?
