Buying a bed

Kboy says -

Today we decided to go do a bit a of furniture hunting, so we went down to Marina and Sun Tec to look around. Nothing really in mind, since the house deal is not yet finished, just to look see.

This was the first time that I've been into a bed showroom. This is a Most Important piece of furniture :) So we thought we better get a good one, and we went into one of the posher brands. The sales man was quite on the ball, asking us to try this bed and that bed. We could actually lie on the bed, shoes and everything, just to test it out. I was a bit put off by the pushy sales man, but Jgal was quite game, trying out all the beds. (We had a rather full lunch, so I suppose it was nice to succumb to food coma and lounge around on the beds.)

Anyway, I never knew that there were so many types of variations on the bed - pocketed spring, full spring, memory foam, latex (sounds kinky huh? unfortunately, the latest is buried deep within the layers of plush...) Halfway through the sales spiel, the man must have noticed my sian face, so he admitted that ultimately it was how the bed feels to you, rather than any scientific mumbo-jumbo. So don't believe all those TV ads with "scientists" in white lab coats throwing stuff on the springs ...

So Jgal was lying on one mattress, while the guy was telling about how the springs move independantly, so when someone comes to bed late, the other will not be disturbed. Just to prove his point, he suddenly launched his bulky 100 kg frame in the air and dive-bombed on to the other side of the bed. I almost let out a little shriek, but Jgal was nonplussed. Yah, she didn't feel anything much, just a bit of vibration. Well, I guess it proved his point ...

I am looking forward to try this little stunt at the next bed showroom we walk into :)

(Actually, the real reason of setting up this blog is to show everyone how HARD it is to plan for a wedding, so that people will give us a BIGGER ang pao! Plus, we'll post our wedding list here later, so we don't get crappy presents!! )
