The bed is the center of your life. You sleep there, watch TV there, eat there, sometimes even bring guests there. Why WOULDN'T you make sure the mattress is well-dressed?

How many nights end with you, a pizza, and a marathon of Arrested Development? How many days begin with you looking at the clock and wishing you could spend the whole day in your bed? And yet, you still waste your money on chairs and shelves and apartments with more than one room. We say you really only need a single piece of furniture in your life. We say: commit to the bed.

An 8-Piece set? That's everything you need. When it's just you, lounge across the pillows. When it's someone special, use the shams. When it's someone you want to impress, add the bedskirt. And when it's cold or you don't want to get crumbs all over the place, throw a comforter across the whole thing. It's really just like a couch cover but far less trashy, and plus it'll keep you warm in winter.

Why waste all that money on having a kitchen and bathroom? Who needs a den? Life is nothing more than a comfy mattress, a good internet connection, and a lovely bedding set. And possibly a stout oaken door, so that you can hear when the pizza guy knocks.
