#1, January to November 2003: Fairly nice king size bed, owned by the couple for whom we house-sat.
We moved.
#2, November 2003 to June 2004: Taco, full size. It literally sank in the middle by about 6 to 8 inches. I had to sleep with my pregnant belly facing outward, else I would fall face-first inward.
[Given to us by my parents. Many thanks!]
We probably gave it to DI, or some other poor newlywed couple.
#3, June 2004 to June 2006ish: Daybed with trundle, pushed up next to each other, with two completely different twin mattresses. Although not pretty, better than the taco.
[Thanks go to my grandpa and late grandma.]
Still have the set.
#4, June 2006ish to August 2009: Matching twin beds with matching frames and headboards, also pushed up next to each other. It was a drastic improvement from the daybed and trundle. But there was always a rift between the beds.
[Thanks here go to my parents, again. And although you may think my thanks facetious, you are mistaken. Beggars can't be choosers, and we were beggars.]
Still have them.
#5, NEW BED!!! 6.5 years later, we finally saved up enough money for a beautiful, amazing, bright, shiny, sparkling, wonderful, brand new king size pillow top bed. Now we just need to fork out the money to cover it...
[So now we have one extra twin bed, so when you come to visit, you can sleep on a bed!]
[If you have done the math, you would have figured out that we have 4 twin beds and one king. And now you are asking why we only have one extra twin bed when only two kids sleep on them. And the answer would be: you really don't want to know what one of the beds has been through... We will not be keeping it.]

A bed! Hooray! As far as covering it... oy! So dang expensive. I have found good deals by shopping at Ross and the clearance section of Bed Bath and Beyond.
I am so jealous! And you have another six and half years to cover it--so no need to rush!

:) He he he, I love it! congrats! You can usually find decent bedding for decent prices at yard sales or stores going out of business!
The one you are getting rid of is not one of matching twins is it? What has it "been through"?
Congrats! I hope it nice and cozy for you guys and you can find bedding online for a pretty good price.
