A bed story...

The story started when spring came...the coil type I mean.. hehe...

You see, once upon a sleep before - we were very happy with our slumber'land' so to speak...

Earning modestly 8 years ago, I was a young woman dreaming of a good bed..financially wise that is...bought a relatively good bed..not too fancy, not too shabby, not too simply..it was just..it...nice...

just nice - isn't it?

It came with a good mattress..both for under B$200.00. A good deal if u ask me at that time..and so, we both lived happily sleepily since..

Then, another chapter in my life opened..three years later...I was sharing the bed with a man..

that's part of our bed back then!
Yeah...our cat, Toby had to have  the top part..he's the 'Master' anyway...

Then we moved to a new house...and..we made the decision to give it a facelift.....we painted it white.....it was a new start for us earlier on as husband and wife..

its in white! :D

...and so...as the story started it was fairly happily sleepily ever after till 'spring' came...a month ago..dearly Hubs found a spring, the coil type....it was under the bed..at last..after 8 years (with many mattress protectors in betweens) our beloved bed was broken..(not in any kinky way at all)..we were sad & in sorrow..

broken! :(

There was no choice but to change the mattress...so the quest for 'the' bed started...went to many, many, many bed stores, tested the many, many, many mattress ...it was tiring and heart wrenching...few definitely were good if not great but economically it was bad... :'(


We were looking for the mattress only cos definitely there is nothing wrong with the bed frame...it was really still in good condition although there were few paint chips here and there...

loving the bed simple details....

It turns out, mattresses are no longer cheap as before...the good ones start off from B$500.00 plus...the ones we found were hard and very unappealing to our backbones....


We thought and thought and more thoughts were put into the mattress buying situation...we went to this particular store in Kiulap...like 8 to 10 times over a period of time...up to the point the salesman knew us by heart! We were making sure we were making the right decision of our life! We finally decided to invest in a very...very...very good mattress...we weighed in the fact that we had used our previous mattress for about 8 years and it did us well...backbone wise that is...we might as well invest in a good new mattress..


So, the decision was made and we got ourselves this:

Believe you us...we love it!!! You get very..very..very addicted to it!

Trust me when I say this...we are gonna be broke for the rest of the year and beyond..but we reasoned that it is a good investment for both of us....

So, we were quite excited but the downside of it is that the beautiful mattress would not fit into our existing bed... :'(


No choice but to start another adventure of bed hunting...hand-in-hand we look through every furniture store in Brunei and at last we found one at Sopan Enterprise that was just 'us'! Something new for us and unqiue..well not to anyone else but to us yes..cos you see...its using leather! Nice details too....plus affordable! Yay!!

loving the sewn in details! :D

So, here's the overall picture of our bed delivered on 18th August 2011! Yes..am SO in to dates! Its 18.08.11! Hehe....

Anyway....safe to say...this raya, we are spending it on a bed! haha.....
