RH Chesterfield Upholstered Bed |
After much searching and considering, I opted to purchase just the upholstered platform (which also kept me from purchasing box springs for the new mattress). I plan to make the headboard (yes, yet another DIY!)
Prior to this project, I had never purchased from Overstock.com. There I found not only the bed, but the mattress as well.
While traveling, J has been staying at the Hilton and just raved about the newest craze - a memory foam mattress. We shopped around and tried out several; however, they run around $2000. Just slightly out of our budget. ;)
Final purchase decision: Select-a-comfort king memory foam mattress, firm $477.89. While it took a while to get used to not losing myself in the indention of our too old pillow top "no flip" mattress, I actually like the memory foam and my back appreciates the firm setting.

Overstock Sarajevo King Platform |
For now, we are enjoying having a bed up off the floor with the new bedding somewhat in place. I think the pillows will look much better with a headboard.
Oh, total savings just on the bed and mattress $3572.18. Even if I subtract the headboard material costs, I am still looking at about a $3400 savings!
To date, inspiration room total : $13,489. Actual spent: $2094.18 (includes allotment for the headboard). That is an unbelievable $11,394.82 saved! And don't forget $550 of what we have spent, was from the sale of the old stuff. So we are only out-of-pocket about $1500!
