our glorious new mattress

Andrew and I have been sleeping on a 25-year-old full-size mattress since we got married. That's four years and nine months of sharing a mattress that's 54" wide with a husband who is six feet tall and...not a petite man.

Our old ghetto setup.

Don't get me wrong. We are grateful to Andrew's parents for gifting that lovely mattress to him 12 years ago when he was a sophomore in high school. And we're grateful that we haven't needed to buy a mattress before now, because they're really expensive.

But boy, are we so grateful for our new one!

The new mattress before bedding.

I've been saving up money for a while now so we could go all out and buy a king-sized mattress.
A KING-SIZED MATTRESS.

The wonderful new bed, complete with new comforter.

And we certainly feel like kings. We've slept on it for just one night so far, and it felt great!

Just in case you already forgot, let's do a direct comparison.

Our bedroom now looks like adults live in it. Hooray!

We're also in the process of redecorating our bedroom (actually, decorating it for the first time). More pictures to come of the finished product.
