We bought a new house that made it possible to have a king bed for the first time. I love good quality sheets but didn't want to pay the $250 price the place we bought our adjustable bed wanted. I bought separate twin xl fitted sheets, a king flat and pillow cases at Bed Bath and Beyond but doing it that way was also expensive. My husband didn't understand why I bulked at the price of sheets when we spent so much on the bed. Well I went back and got the sheets made for the adjustable bed. They were expensive BUT... the fitted sheets have "wings" that actually stay in place and the king top sheet is larger than a standard king size sheet also to allow for when the head or foot is raised. Things I didn't know before I bought them. the split bed is a pain to make either way. Considering how long a set of sheets usually last it really is smarter to get the ones made for the bed. I plan on doing a little shopping around for a better price before buying a second set but will definitely buy another set made FOR a king size adjustable bed.

We have two girls, now grown and married, and they each had their own room but I put a beautiful day bed in one of the rooms. I think I liked it even more than my daughter did, but the trundle came up to the same height as the other bed and it was very handy. My other daughter had a water bed, remember those?!

I love and will always have a canopy bed in my Master. I only have 8' ceilings and my bed posts are only 6" from the ceiling. The bed dominates the room and I love that. To me, the bedroom is all about the bed and sleeping! I'm getting a platform bed for the spare room.

Dear all, thank your so much for your responses, all of them good, I am going to post a photo of my bed and the room, you will see I have a lovely oriental oil on canvas painting above the head and another one in front over the chest of drawers with the gray and blue shades. Hence, I am thinking of white sheets and accessorize it with blue shades. Again Many thanks
