I don’t know about you, but I feel like the biggest transition into adulthood came for me when I finally stopped letting my mattress float on a rogue metal bed frame and got myself a real bed.

Apart from your sofa, your bed is the piece of furniture you’ll probably spend the most money on in your home — and the most time. Studies show we spend one-third of our lifetimes sleeping (or attempting to do so), so having a quality place to lay your head down at the end of the day is a must.
