I have to agree that most headboards are overrated. We started off
without one but later got one that is about 10"wide and and has a hinged
lid so it can be used to store things, like linens. That shelf top is a
handy surface for the clock radio, reading lamps, telephone and books.

Sorry, I forget who says what on here. People copy pages of previous quoted text to add ONE STUPID LINE! :-( Oh that's right, Janet something/someone whined about there not being a full complement of study facilities in every bedroom for rent. I wonder if she knows most students do all or most of their schoolwork ON THEIR COMPUTERS? And we DO enjoy free (included in rent) SECURED WIFI!

Sorry Cheri.

I agree that it can look incomplete. We did discuss getting one when we
move but the value is strictly aesthetics, not function. Just one more
thing to dust and polish There are some functional ones with bookcases
and lights but they can turn out to be junk collectors too.

The adjustable beds was one of our smarter moves. I sleep flat, but for
reading or TV it is nice to be able to raise the head and keep your neck
aligned.

Only holes I drilled in the walls were for wiring. CAT5 and low loss 26.2ft balanced shielded stereo computer speaker output.

Where did I do that? I responded to his "Do you believe everything you see
on the Internet? ;-) FOOLISH!!" which you conveniently cut out, nothing
more. Stop trying to create drama with your creative cutting.

But you wrote this (see above):

"Aren't you advertising on the internet and aren't people supposed to
believe your pictures? Aren't they believed to be representative of
what you're offering?"

Unless that was your troll.

Do you ever read in bed? Watch TV in bed? If yes, they are very
practical. I put it back to level for sleeping.

I never do. I have a waterbed, I use it for sleeping, naps and sex.

I rarely have my glasses on when I'm in the bedroom. I don't care if
the bed looks incomplete. The frame came free with the mattress and
foundation.

You're not old enough. You too will one day raise a bony finger and
speak to the world of the benefits of a headboard. Just not yet.

Bed and Breakfast? Why? So I can spend a bunch of CASH to **** all over someone *else's* fancy as **** domicile and NOT clean up my own messes?

**** THAT!

And yes I'd say I have shades of PTSD from all the crap I went though in 2017 to get this place as fixed up and to pass Occupancy Permit Inspection. Turns out Bel Nor MO was developing a single page checklist to torture Bel Norians with APPEARANCE FROM OUTSIDE crapola! Nothing structural or substantive, just APPEARANCE!! Evidently Bel Nor does not care as much about Bel Nor Real Estate's structural integrity as it does it's OUTWARD APPEARANCES!!

FAKE AS SHIT! Just like the whole United States! Terminally preoccupied with BILLBOARDS!! :-(

I NEVER use the ALL CAPS key! I pry the ALL CAPS key off any new keyboard I buy and use! If/when I type in ALL CAPITAL letters it's because I know how to HOLD DOWN MY SHIFT KEY(S)!

I read in bed every night. I use two pillows to prop my head up. When I
get tired I turn off the light, roll over on my side and fall asleep.

Then you must prop your pillows against the wall and your bed frame is
rigged so it won't move or your pillows will slide onto the floor.
You must sleep alone because women really don't like having the top of
their head banged against the wall. We each sleep with two pillows
and our head board is well padded and covered with leather. The
pillows are easily arranged against the headboard to accomodate any
position. We also each have a third pillow that we use as a
decorative bolster... comes in very handy for certain positioning.

We long ago decided that those adjustable beds are really modified
hospital beds, we find them morbid, would make us feel like we are
ill.
Reclining furniture is also very dangerous to pets and small
children... in several countries reclining chairs, motorized or
manual, are illegal.
We didn't special order our bedroom set but as soon as we spotted that
padded headbord we simultaneously said that's what we need. My wife
has a special utilitarian lamp because she also knits in bed. Neither
of us reads in bed, the bathroom is our library.

My bed is rigged so it won't slide and damage the hardwood floors.

Snowflakes. We don't have any pets or small children in our house.

I agree that it can look incomplete. We did discuss getting one when we
move but the value is strictly aesthetics, not function. Just one more
thing to dust and polish There are some functional ones with bookcases
and lights but they can turn out to be junk collectors too.

The adjustable beds was one of our smarter moves. I sleep flat, but for
reading or TV it is nice to be able to raise the head and keep your neck
aligned.

==

We always had a king sized bed. Fairly recently, I noticed two singles that
fitted together.

Heavenly))

Careful there. You don't dare question anyone claiming to have PTSD.
The term evolved from the shell shock experienced by soldiers who had
been subjected to concussive forces from artillery bombardment and has
evolved into a label for anyone who has had trouble coping with their
environment. We get soldiers who have have lost multiple limbs from
IEDs who are obviously suffering from their experience, and then there
are people like a soldier I read about who is claiming PTSD resulting
from his experiences in Afghanistan. He served in a support position
in a heavily fortified compound that was never attacked, but the cause
of his trauma was seeing other soldiers going out on patrol and coming
back wounded or dead.

I have a lot of sympathy for people who are wounded in combat, and I can
understand the impact of their traumatic injuries can have on their
ability to enjoy life. I think is is major insult to those brave souls
to ascribe the same condition to someone who was never exposed to those
horrors.
