Frannyo's Profile

We have this bed, we've been sleeping in it for about a year. We're both a little heavy and both sleep a little hot. We both like the bed on the soft side.

We have the mattress on a king-sized frame we got on sale from West Elm, with a topper.

We are IN LOVE with this bed. It's by far our favorite place to spend time as a family, totally comfortable and cozy, not too hot, doesn't move at all when one of us gets up or moves around. It weighs a TON and can't be moved once it's in place, but who cares? That's the only downside.

Here's a pic, taken with that stupid Hipstomatic view, sorry about the yellowness.

We were given a couple of them as well, they're fancy and fragile. Definitely not for kids. They're up on a bookshelf, untouched. Really not the free-for-all fun that Yo Gabba Gabba represents.

Sure do hate that bikini chick poster in a kids' room, boy or girl. Looks like it's more about the parents still being arty poseurs than about the child enjoying his or her room.

We recovered the adult version of the same chair, for our daughter's room, it was easy. (As easy as paying someone else about $35 to do it.)

(Please forgive the terrible carpet, we're still a work in progress.)

We got the fabric at reprodepot.com. The Poang turned out to be a great rocker, super-cheap and just the right amount of "give" rocking to put the stinker to sleep in those early days.
