Does Size Really Matter?
by Scott Braddam
I also explained that moving a king sized bed into an apartment was a difficult task as well. The landings for external entrances, hallways for internal entrances, and stairs/elevators all needed to be taken into consideration. The young lady firmly put her foot down and said “Honey, we are not going to get a huge bed like this for that little apartment.”
While I was working with this young couple, another couple approached us (this happens to me a lot when I am researching in stores). They explained their circumstances, and had a problem which was exactly opposite from the first couple. “We inherited an antique bed, and it’s about as big as a full bed, but longer” stated the lady. “Would you recommend that we use that bed with a new mattress instead of buying a whole new bed?” I took her question into consideration, and asked a few questions of my own. I learned that the space in the room was not a big issue, since their room was about 14’x14’ and they were considering a queen size. I did notice that, although the lady was demure, her husband was not. I wondered for a few minutes if he might be a football linebacker. I estimated him to be about 6’2”, and weighing around 250-275lbs. I recommended to this couple that, rather than go with the narrower antique frame, that they should look at the larger queen size. (The wife politely leaned in and offered a quiet “thank you” and mentioned that the antique was rather unattractive in her opinion). I also let them know that a search on the internet could turn up some manufacturers which will build a mattress to fit her antique frame, but that she would need to invest more time, and possibly more money, to find a good one. I recommended that if she were going to do that, start with a simple search on “custom mattress.”
All in all, these two couples had almost the exact same problem, just from opposite ends of the issue. What we learned in this case is that size truly does matter.

I blog frequently and I really appreciate your content.
This great article has really peaked my interest.
I’m going to book mark your site and keep checking for new
information about once per week. I subscribed to your RSS feed too.
Hello this is somewhat of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding knowledge so I
wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

When I originally commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each
time a comment is added I get several emails
with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove people from
that service? Cheers!
I’m sorry, Angelika. I just took over editing the blog, and every time I sign in there are dozens of comments waiting moderation, almost all of them spam. I don’t know why you get notified of comments not yet approved, but I’ll check into it. We’re trying to discourage the spam, and if they don’t get responses maybe most of them will quit trying here. I have disallowed pinging, and we require a member login to comment (at least I thought it was changed to that — I’ll have to check). For now, my best advice is to not check the “notify me of new comments” button.
