Bed Drama

[ndrosen]

No, not drama about people doing stuff with each other in bed. More than a week ago, my bed frame broke, after giving me twenty-six years of faithful service, so on Friday, November 8, I went to Mattress Firm in Potomac Yard on my way to work, and arranged to buy a new bed, to be delivered on Monday. Came Monday, and the deliverymen arrived with a new bed frame and mattress, but when they took the frame out of its box, it turned out to be damaged, with a part of the metal frame being improperly bent. I was able to use it, but a replacement would need to be delivered for long-term use, and in the meantime, they did not wrap the mattress in its mattress protector (anti-microbial covering).

I used the mattress as it was, and had further discussions with Mattress Firm. On Friday, a different pair of deliverymen arrived, set up the new bed frame, and wrapped the mattress in its mattress protector. I laundered the bottom sheet that I had been using, and remade the bed. All seems to be well.

The frame was in a sealed cardboard box, that did not seem to be damaged. Someone should have inspected the frame before putting it in the box, I suppose.
