A Sealy® transformation - Redecorating my room
When we last left off on my Sealy adventure, I had just picked my Hotels Collection, Luxury Firm Mattress in Queen, and was super excited for it to arrive! Click here to read all about it.So in this part 2 of my Sealy transformation, I'll kick things off by telling you a secret. The truth is, my travel buddies have been complaining that I kick in my sleep. I didn't believe them until I woke up in the morning (more than once) and saw my bolster on the floor. *guilty look* Thus the realisation - I need a bigger bed! If I can't stop myself from kicking subconsciously, then at least my bolster can still be on the bed in the mornings, right?
The preparation
Disclaimer: My room is quite messy! Don't judge :X
After selecting my mattress at Sealy's, I came home that day and knew that I had to revamp my room or my Queen would not fit. Both my bed and bed frame were single's, as you can tell from the picture, and the only non-single part about my bed is my Korilakkuma bear. *sob*
I started by clearing out the stuff under my bed, before I remembered to take a picture. That explains why you can see some things sticking out hahah they're normally hidden away. And no, there are no monsters under my bed :p
First order of business is to remove the bedsheet and mattress! And no, my mattress was not originally white -_-
Next, to dismantle the bed frame and clean the area underneath! I prefer to use magic clean before the vacuum because I find it picks up more dust through wiping. After mopping I also scrubbed the floor with detergent!
My dismantled bed frame! Obviously I had help from my dad and brother on this aspect :p
Finally it was done!!! Now all I had to do was wait for my mattress to arrive. As you can tell, I don't have the luxury of space :(
Anticipation
The mattresses were slated to be delivered from 2-5pm that Saturday, but the anticipation build up started from the night before. I had a terrible sleep. Was tossing and turning, woke up to get a glass of water, woke up again, checked my phone, and eventually gave up trying to go back to sleep at 9am.
I was already dreaming of the awesome Sealy that was to come.
Oh how I want you to be mine ASAP
Spotted!!
I jumped up, grabbed my camera and started snapping away. For 130 years Sealy has been designing and building their Posturepedic mattresses with their consumer's needs in mind, so of course I couldn't wait to properly try one of my own!The delivery men came in and immediately went to work setting up my box spring (to support your mattress)! I wanted my mattress to lie parallel to the window, but I knew that I did not have the luxury of space with a computer table in the way, but we managed to make it work!
I was really surprised to receive a brand new box spring!! Thank you Sealy this is more than I ever wished for :')
Sealy Box spring unwrapped!!
It's important to get a good boxspring to complement your mattress, for three main reasons:
1) To raise the height of your mattress, so if you roll too much while sleeping you'll fall onto the floor and kick that habit once and for all. Oh, and also for you to get in and out of bed easier.
2) To protect your mattress from wear and tear, less chances of getting dust mites etc, and to absorb shock. It diffuses strong impacts and supports the springs in your mattress. Imagine a kid jumping on your awesome mattress without a boxspring. Your mattress wouldn't last very long!
3) To keep your mattress flat and firm year after year, especially when you sleep in the same position every night!
Don't take your mattress for granted, the more you take care of it, the longer it will last!
Next, my mattress gets unwrapped. Check out the adorable floral print on the StayTight Foundation Cover. Sigh it's so pretty!
Take a look at the handles on the mattress. As the Hotel Collection mattresses are under the Prestige Collection, they have 4 LightRight Wrap Handles located on each corner and side of the mattress as additional gripping points to make moving your mattress easier! I saw the movers use one arm each to turn the mattress around and was really impressed, the handles are really sturdy and can easily carry the weight of the mattress! Don't have to worry about them tearing!
Finally, my mattress was carefully placed on top of my box spring and ready to be used! Here's the first look ;)
Super happy because my Sealy mattress uses Silver Ion fabric which contains antibacterial and moisture-removing properties. When I head to sleep at night I know my bed is clean and hygienic! :)
All set up! I was also surprised to be given 2 complimentary Sealy Premium Pillows and 1 Mattress Pad in Queen size. It's also important to use a mattress pad to protect your mattress and it's also easy to wash in case there are any stains!
Alright I now have another reason to take more naps or hit snooze more often :p Look out for my next post with my new bedsheet, quilt and matching pillowcases!
