Arriving in Houston after the 4th!
 

Hey boys, the time is coming, and I'll be in Houston not long after the fourth. I'll be up off 290 in the Crossroads area.... My housing is taken care of, and I'll be bringing some stuff with me. My question is where in that area can I buy a good bed, and not get shafted? I would prefer a place that delivers if possible...

After I get all settled in we'll have to go out, tentatively say Friday the 13th?

1960 and 290?

Bout a block away, yes....

cabelas XL cot with the mattress pad?

i am not so sure i would pony up for a bed..how long are you staying? have fun sid!! you are living the dream.

Staying 6 mos, but I will be driving back to OK, so I will Uhaul it back with me. I've been needing a good mattress for a while...

6 months??!!! yea..no brainer. buy a bed.

Ya... And I've had a few back troubles, I appreciate a good bed....

Serious? Aren't you like 19? Take care of that.

That is spamtastic

21... But ya... I've been not so easy on things, plus getting the shaft from genetics... I pretty much live with mild back pain....

One of my old friends, from Texas no less, told me:

"My daddy always said, 'the two things you don't want to skimp on are your mattress and your boots. You're always in one or the other.'" :)

And yes, I have insomnia. But not from my mattress, which is fine.

Well.... I've already got a good pair of boots....

So you're halfway there.

1960 and 290 has plenty of shopping, I would expect Mattress Firm or a similar chain is within a stones throw of you.

Sams club is 2 streets back on West Road. I have a pickup with a 6 foot bed and I live only a couple of miles from these. The same mattress will be 1/2 the cost.

There's the power of Pelican right there.

We may need Tom to help carry it and then go for beer and burgers afterwards.

damn cool!! he can stock up on papertowels and toilet paper..and what bachelor pad is complete without a gallon can of ketchup!!

i think SAMs is a brilliant solution for a well priced bed..

I can muscle it up the stairs.
