The Tower bedroom progress

I think you're going in the right direction and think that your design is attractive. Have you considered making some of the drawers under the bed very deep, for the storage of quilts and other bulky things?

[Leon]

Thank you.

I had considered deeper, when I was only going to go with a single row of drawers. When I learned that our new mattress did not have to have a lower box springs I decided to go with a double row of drawers and shorten each row bit.

Not to worry, I have already built my wife a quilt rack that is food for a dozen or so quilts. She is a quilter.

The towers, the night table replacements could hold 5 or 6 quilts each in the upper cabinets.

Ditto my HF tools, Ryobi drill and portable tablesaur. Ditto my real tools, like the Bosch Impactor, the ancient (pre-China, I believe) Delta CMS, and the Knight planes.

I'll bet my ROI was -much- shorter than yours.

Ya sure coont prove that by the pics. OK, I'll stop funnin' ya.

Why did you move up? Weren't you happy with queenie? Just turning those king mattresses takes two people. I'm happy with my new/used queen, solid foam-rubber mattress. 6" of firm heaven!

Crikey, that's just wunnerful. How have you adapted to the nosebleeds while sleeping at that altitude? (Oops, I forgot that I just said I'd stop funnin' ya. Cancel that.)

Oh, of course. (We thought you might have had a less than willing bed partner.)

Nothing like a little persuasion, huh?

[Leon]

Nothing like a comfy bed.

When ever my wife and I go on a trip we usually stay in a King sized bed. Going back to a queen is Ok but we were sorta looking for a new bed anyway and went a head and decided to bite the bullet and go bigger.

Our new one is a S&F with a 5" pillow top, 14" tall total, no box springs. I have been having problems laying on either of my shoulders and when I laid on this one in the store my shoulders did not hurt when I laid on my side. We tried one of those whale blubber Tempuredics and while they are well liked by many, my shoulder hurt on those too until I stayed still for about

15 seconds and then the pain went away. Any movement world cause the pain to return for about 15 seconds. I have a neighbor that has the Tempurpedic on a 4 poster bed and asked me to help him rotate it... Geeez I think both of had a death grip on the mattress with both hands and our feet were secure against the bed posts and then we grunted a lot.

The only advantage I can see is footroom. I'm only 5'11" and my footsies are a bit cramped in a queen, but since I sleep alone, I can sleep diagonally if I want.

Where the hell do you find sheets for a monster like that?

I go to sleep on my side, too, and that's why I prefer the foam.

Tempurpedics are way overvalued and underworthy, IMNSHO. They're kinda HOT to sleep on, too.

No modern mattress is lightweight, that's for sure.

Try it at 6'4". I use a California King (albeit H20).

Mine is, when empty :-)

You must not have a waveless. Mine, when drained, weighs about 300 pounds. Can't get all the water out.

If you can get really good siphoning action (a large drop using a hill, etc), you can get a great deal of the water out of even a waveless. Not all of it, but it is manageable.
