I can definitely relate to your experience today. My tough task was not with a large bed, but rather an artificial Christmas tree that was no longer being used. It was stored up in the attic. Fortunately it is in three pieces. However, I had to carry each piece down the ladder from the attic and then bring it down out to the curb for trash pick up tomorrow. Not only did I have to do that, but I had to break down the very large shipping box that it was stored in. It’s 2/3 done, but my back was crying out enough. Like you I overdid it. I’m about ready to put on an ice pack. Although I’m hoping not to, I think I may have to take a couple of Advil. At least we have some results to show for our pain. P.S. The bed looks nice.

King mattresses are the best. Real king, not California king. The whole point of buying a bed is to get it wider, not longer, if you share it with someone. Or even if you don't but have a habit of falling off the side, I guess.

Protip: if you and your sweetie disagree on mattress firmness, get a pair of single beds and frames and the specially-cut piece of foam that fills in the gaps.
