Bed

[prog]

The air mattress I've been using as a bed sprang a leak a few days ago. While I can use scotch tape and a business card in such as way as to patch it so that it no longer goes sssssss as soon as I reinflate the mattress, I still inevitably wake up flat against the hardwood a few hours later. Somewhere I have the official patch kit for it, but I can't bring myself to look for it.

Upon waking up this morning I told myself that it's time to buy a bed. I have no reason not to do so now; I can claim neither poverty nor lack of space as reasons to continue to practice of floor-crashing. Beds are hard to move, is really the only thing. But maybe if I don't think about moving, I'll actually live here for more than eight months or whatever.

if you're not ready for the commitment

go for a futon.

frame and futon can be moved by one person, albeit with some awkwardness.
compresses more than a boxspring. (I have to remove windows to get my boxspring into or out of this apartment.)
shifts into a couch-like creature as needed, so you'll feel less guilty about wanting a different bed in a few years.
