My Mattress

After school today I went to get a mattress Kameoka, a medium size city between here and Kyoto. Up to now, I have been sleeping on a very thing futon on top of a flat wooden board. I first saw it on Sunday when I went shopping with some friends. It was in a ‘recycle shop’ that carries all kind of used things for pretty cheap prices. My mattress (smaller than a single or twin) was only about $45. To put that in context, to get something like the thin futon I had used up to now would be upwards of $100 and probably not all too comfortable on something other than tatami floors. Here’s a picture of my lofted bed and mattress:



Underneath the bed is a storage space, or as I call it, “Ben and Claire’s room should they decide to visit”
