Did the Earth Move for You ?

No ? Well it has for Mike.
Mike and Mrs Mike (and mike jnr) have just moved into a new pad. And pad is the chosen word...what else would you call a house with a sunken lounge, a sunken bath and a parquetry floor. Of course it goes without saying that there is also a spa, a pool and a mirror backed bar...complete with clearly defined storage for 33's and 45's.
There has to be a drawback...I mean life is like that...and the drawback is the Swingle bed. This house (c.1968) has built in beds, and here is the killer. They are Swingle beds. That size between a Queen and a King popular in the late 60's, close enough to be er close, but big enough for a small crowd (if required) The problemette is that Swingle bed mattresses aren't made anymore, or at least they aren't available ready made. So Mike and Mrs Mike (mike jnr is cut out of this particular loop) need to order one special like, and ordering a Swingle bed tells the good folk at your local Mattress Universe quite a lot about your private tastes.
So here's to Mike and Mrs Mike, and their tense wait on the fold-out while the Swingle bed is being engineered (extra bounce thanks)

A sunken lounge is not a design feature if your house needs re-stumping.
