Life on an Air Mattress Continues

A few months ago, I discovered thrift shopping and have been (slightly) obsessed ever since. So when we needed to buy some furniture for our new apartment (both because it's bigger than the last and because our pod didn't fit as much as we expected), I wanted to go the thrifting / Craigslist route for what we could.

So far, it has been highly successful - we've gotten two dressers, a cabinet, a (p)leather love seat, a sofa bed, 3 bar stools, 2 bedside tables, an area rug, and a mattress.

All of it is in great shape - except the sofa bed and mattress. The sofa bed was bought at a thrift store and is covered in hair (yum) and the (free!) Craigslist mattress smells like a casino and looks like the previous owner was a profuse sleep sweater.

Neither was bad enough that I'd pass up the deal, but we definitely wanted to get them professionally cleaned before sitting or sleeping on them.

Since our sofa bed wasn't able to be delivered until yesterday, the earliest we could schedule a professional cleaner was for today. This meant sleeping on an air mattress for 10 nights. We sucked it up and thought of the $$$ we'd saved.

So when today arrived, I was pumped that the air mattress would be retired and I'd have a real bed to sleep on. But, alas, we were not so lucky. Mother Nature decided a thunder and lightning storm was in order, and since all of the equipment for the cleaner is outside (the hoses are all that are brought in), we had to postpone until MONDAY. That's four more nights of sleeping on an air mattress.

People asked (jokingly) how Joe and I could survive a cross country drive without killing each other. Ha! That was nothing compared to two weeks of less-than-stellar sleep on an air mattress. Monday won't come soon enough.

  1. I would seriously die. I have so many weird sleeping quirks that this would not even be possible! Robbie and I learned early in our marriage that we can't share anything but a king bed, otherwise I just can't sleep. That air mattress box is very accurate! haha

  2. By generating steam at extremely high temperatures of up to 386ºF, steam vapor machines effectively soften the toughest dirt particles, making it easier to extract or wipe away the deposits. Compared to traditional cleaning methods, such as scrubbing away tough deposits, steam cleaning with commercial steam cleaner machines offers the easiest and fastest solution to get almost all the surfaces clean with minimum effort or time.
