New Bed

Here are some pictures of the new bed I got from Ikea. As I earlier posted, the bed is the Robin model, with the Sultan Forsbacka mattress to go along with it. The matress is really comfortable and thick, which is nice because my old mattress wasn't. It is a foam mattress, which means that it doesn't bounce as well as some of the other ones, but...
Here are the pics:


It wasn't easy to stuff the mattress and the bed into the car, but it had to be done. The trunk was filled to complete capacity when the mattress was in there. The bed rode in the front.


Making the Robin was easy, just like all Ikea furniture. Basically it was about screwing four pieces of wood together. This was taken just as the box was opened.


And how can any series of martress pictures be complete without the classic?
"Do not remove under penalty of law".
Why? This is taken from Yahoo Ask.
"Back in the 1900s, mattresses often contained a host of vermin and disease-carrying materials. To protect consumers, the government required dealers to post tags on their mattresses listing the contents. Later, the Feds added a warning to the content tag with the ominous message, "Do not remove under penalty of law," in big, black letters.

The move may have deterred duplicitous mattress dealers, but it only served to confuse consumers who didn't know that the threat wasn't meant for them. Confronted by fear of prosecution, consumers left the tags on their mattresses. Recently, the Feds addressed the misunderstanding by changing the label to: 'This tag may not be removed except by the consumer.'"
