Once you have decided to get a new mattress, the decision to upgrade to king sized is an easy one to make. However, coming home with one can be slightly complicated, especially if you are upgrading from a significantly smaller sized mattress. In order to help make things a bit less chaotic when it’s unloaded, here are a few tips on buying a king mattress in Gulfport, MS.
Measure The Room
Measuring the room to be sure that the king sized bed will fit in the first place is an important first step, especially if you are upgrading from a mattress that is much smaller. Be sure to leave enough room on either side for you and your partner to get in and out of bed, and for bedside tables, if need be. You may need to rearrange your bedroom in order to better fit the king sized bed once it arrives, so be sure to take measurements throughout the room, not only in the area where your bed currently sits.
Remove The Old Bed First
Once you’ve selected the bed you want, and you have a delivery date, it’s time to arrange for the removal of your old mattress and bedframe. You may opt to donate these items to charity, sell them on an online classified site, or to simply throw them out – whichever you opt to do, it’s a good idea to have that done well in advance of the scheduled delivery time. This helps to make things less cluttered in your home once the new bed arrives.
Buy Two Sets Of Sheets
Once you’ve picked out the mattress you want, be sure that you have enough bedding on hand in case something spills or a mess is made on your current sheets. It’s generally advisable to have at least two sets of sheets that will fit the larger sized mattress – one to “wear” and the other to wash.
