So Alex and I are taking the next step to making our apartment more like home with…bed shopping. 
Vestago BettActually, we’re only buying this frame and headboard (Bettgestell und Rückenlehne) because we already have the mattress and what is equivalent to the box spring. Apparently, the inner material of the mattress or futon is made of coconut, that means, very firm. It’s great for when one sleeps on the back but not so good for side-sleepers, like me >:XX One step at a time I suppose or we could easily rack up 50,000 Euro in furniture purchases. The frame will be made of maple with a redish stain because cherry wood is ungodly expensive.
German beds, these days, are very different from american ones. A lot of older cottages or european hotels have two ‘twin’ beds pushed together for the master bed, each with it’s separate fitted sheet and comforter (no flat sheet). They’re usually pretty squishy and remind me of the beds in the U.S. 
lattenrost = euro box springRight now, our bed rests on the floor under the Lattenrost. Which looks like this here=> You can adjust the dark plastic sliders in the center of the wooden slats to vary the firmness of the wood. We just going to place the lattenrost inside of the bed frame and there you have it. Pretty simple. But Alex and I found out as we are sorting out our differences in furniture ideas, we both have pretty expensive taste. But I think we’ve reached a good compromise.
