I’m in a right pickle about the best way to move house and get a new bed at the same time.
We MUST get a new bed. It’s not optional. DH is currently sleeping in a little pit created by a separating mattress. We’ve been putting it off because the issues with this mattress started when we moved it into this house and we don’t want to drop £2k on a mattress to then have it suffer in the move again. The bed frame itself is tired, has a rip in it and we want to upgrade to a superking so we have more space when our baby arrives at Christmas.
I can’t work out the best way to coordinate it with moving day. I wanted to order it all and keep it in the garage for the move but the mattresses we like don’t come rolled up and we can’t store a superking mattress flat.
These are the options I can see:
- Order the divan base to keep in our current garage now and order a mattress once we have exchanged. During the overlap we have two single mattresses we can make do with using on the bed base until then. Get rid of current bed a day or two before completion. If we went for this option, where do we sleep for two nights?
- Bring the old bed with us and have it assembled, order a new one upon exchange and pay for the recycling service upon delivery. This would be annoying in terms of faff on moving day, disassembling and reassembling and disassembling a bed frame again.
- Order nothing until exchange and ask one of our sets of parents if we can stay with them for a few days while we get ourselves sorted (both local). Tempting but might be unsettling and obviously we would really like to enjoy our new house.
Some other option? This is occupying far too much of my brain space!
