King Size
So … okay … I kinda debated showing this photo to all y’all cuz it really wasn’t meant for public consumption … but after mulling it over after an amazing night of sleep on our massive new bed, I figured … eh, why not. So yesterday I mentioned that our new bed was delivered and assembled and I’ve gotten a few requests for a photo. In order to show the proportions, I got on the bed for a quick pic to send to friends … and, now, all y’all. Here is what our new bed looks like:
LOL! OMG, so funny, right? The bed looks so massive but, fortunately, it does not overtake the room. This pic doesn’t show the way the bed sits in our room, it just shows how crazy big it is :) David and I said all along that we wanted a big California King and that’s exactly what we got … a bed we have to climb into. We spent yesterday afternoon shopping for bedding (which we found) and various other things for the bedroom. After, I met up with Amber Benson so that she could autograph the book prizes for the latest PITNB contest. We shared a piece of pie and some tea at Urth Caffee on Melrose and had a great time talking about stuff. We decided to come up with a fun little project together … which I’ll mention soon :)
This afternoon I have a biz meeting and then David and I have a lot of cleaning to do before his friend Kurt arrives tomorrow night. The weekend looks to be a fun one but I’m gonna try and lay low … I have a bunch of stuff to take care of before I take off for SXSW in Austin, TX next week and I want to make sure I’m ready to go.

March 12th, 2009 at 12:18 pm
Where did you go to get your bedding? The only place in MI that I’ve found is Walmart…..seriously Walmart.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
HOT DAMN! That thing is HUGE.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Ugh, I’m so jealous! Hubby and I have been dying for a Cal King. One day one day!! :D
March 12th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
LOL! That’s a great bed. :)
March 12th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
That is the most bad ass bed EVER!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Wow! it makes u look tiny haha I bet it makes for a great sleep. Enjoy!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
Holy Shyzola ,, it’s ginormous!!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:36 pm
OMG! It is huge, you could fit ten sleeping across it!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Trent this picture is so precious!! And get ready- changing the sheets on a king is like a mini workout- I’d make David do it:)
March 12th, 2009 at 12:45 pm
@Erin — we looked at Pottery Barn — nothing. Crate & Barrel — nothing. Hit the jackpot at Bed, Batch and Beyond (per a few suggestions from some readers). We got the faux goose down comforter, the duvet, the sheets, the pillowcases and some pillows. pretty reasonably priced as well … I suggest you check out BBB.
March 12th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
I didn’t know you were Liliputian!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:47 pm
BBB is awesome, just spent $130 there last night, ridic. But it’s so hard not to go in there and see everything you need!! Congrats on the bed, its a sleigh right? That’s the kind I want :)
March 12th, 2009 at 12:48 pm
@ Canuck – LMAO, love it
March 12th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
All of the grandparents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that had to share one bed probably wish they had that bed!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 12:49 pm
That bed needs its own country! That’s freakn’ huge. Never heard of Ca. King. Guess I obviously live in a small world! ;P
March 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
When’s the sleepover?
March 12th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
maybe i’ll drunkenly run into you at sxsw and tell you how much i heart you.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:02 pm
So this is totally off topic, but I just read at EW.com that they’re making Heathers: The Musical. That’s so very! Love, love, love that idea. It’s one of my all-time fave high school movies. I love my dead gay son! (And, like, gag me with a chainsaw if you don’t get that reference!)
March 12th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I bet octopussy is dying for one of those, she should have one actually.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
By the way, love the bed. I have one very similar to that, except it’s not a California king, just a regular king that we, well I anyway since my bf is 6′7, have to jump on to.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:08 pm
Damn! You look like Edith Ann on that huge bed! Have fun at SXSW and I hope you get to catch Tinted Windows!
March 12th, 2009 at 1:13 pm
Trent, I have to say, is this bed made for “I’m not speaking to you” nights? But seriously, I’m very jealous. Looks romp lovely.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:17 pm
It’s like you’re in a remake of The Incredible Shrinking Woman!
Veruh nice! :)
March 12th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
I looooooove my king bed, it’s just a bitch to flip and rotate the mattress as they suggest. I also love BBB. I like Crate and Barrel for houseware stuff but not bedding, they have some, but it sucks big time. Are you going to paint the walls? So were you guys able to find each other in that monster bed?
March 12th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
I love love love the bed! My two year old would have the time of her life jumping on that!! Then again…so would I! =)
March 12th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Lol. You look so tiny in it. I love it though :P
March 12th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
a bed fit for kings :)
March 12th, 2009 at 1:50 pm
King-sized beds are the best! I’ve got one myself and I feel weird sleeping in anything smaller.
March 12th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I hope you showed up with your 20% off coupons!! I love BBB!
March 12th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
Oh my! Well, I hope you have some fun on it ;)
March 12th, 2009 at 2:04 pm
It looks so comfy, ahi espacio para uno mas?
March 12th, 2009 at 2:07 pm
omg. My boyfriend and I picked out that exact bed after looking at about 17 furniture stores. Its AMAZING. Unfortch, he’s my ex now. Its only unfortch b/c I don’t get to sleep in the heaven that is that bed frame and a memory foam mattress. Congrats on the new place and the rockin’ bed.
March 12th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
OMG Edith Ann is right on target. Trent the bed looks huge and comfy. Very happy for you and David. :-)
March 12th, 2009 at 2:15 pm

My hubby and I sleep on a Cal King, Yes they are massive but lots of fun ;)
March 12th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
OMG ITS HUGE!
March 12th, 2009 at 2:47 pm
I always thought my bed was pretty big…your bed just whooped my tiny little beds ass.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
you look like a little rag doll!! I want that bed.
March 12th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
thats sooo funny you look like a doll sitting there!
March 12th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
OMFG! your bed is like shaq size!
March 12th, 2009 at 5:37 pm
Are those leaning shelves from Crate and Barrel? I’m obsessed with mine!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
WOW that bed is huge!!! you look puny in comparison! looks super comfy though!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:29 pm
lol you remind me of the little girl in the giant bed at the beginning of Edward Scissorhands!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Holy shizz! That bed is seriously huge! You just look so small on it… like you’re a kid again! I want a bed like that!!!
March 12th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
Thats like the best bed ever.
March 12th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
woooow! i’m jealous! it looks ridiculously comfy! haha
March 12th, 2009 at 7:37 pm
Wow, looks like you could serious injure yourself should you accidentally roll out of bed. Hope that doesn’t happen to you and David! Enjoy!
March 12th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
OMG let’s trade… I have a queen with me, my husband, two dogs and sometimes a baby in it!! Too tiny!
March 12th, 2009 at 8:00 pm
@Sharlini — lol, i’m dreading falling out of bed … it’s a long way down :O
March 12th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
It looks realllllly big and long, but not very wide. We have a Ca King and it is just really wide. but your just looks really long. Do you have a lot of space in between each other?
March 12th, 2009 at 9:53 pm
Do you have a little step ladder to get into that massive bed?? Maybe you could get a little trampoline. Your bed totally kicks my little queen bed’s @ss!
March 12th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
Please go see Kevin Devine while you’re at SXSW, Trent. He is the future of music in the U.S. and he doesn’t get enough cred. He’s also the sweetest person I’ve ever met so def watch him play and then talk to him afterwards!
It also doesn’t hurt that he’s such a cutie! :)
March 13th, 2009 at 12:03 am
That thing got its own zipcode?
March 13th, 2009 at 6:03 am
I’m glad you decided to share! It made my day! Too funny…makes me want to jump!
March 13th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Congrats on the AWESOME bed! Glad you went out & got the one you really wanted, if you are gonna do something, do it right (the words I live by!)!!!!!!!!!!
March 13th, 2009 at 6:48 am
Oh WOW, I am sooo jealous…. my husband and I share a double bed. I want a bed that big!
March 13th, 2009 at 7:22 am
LOVIN’ the pic!!! i’m jealous!! =]
March 13th, 2009 at 11:14 am
your “LOL! OMG, so funny, right?” at the beginning made me lol.
that’s a great bed.what’s the difference with a california king?
March 13th, 2009 at 1:42 pm
If you were at Urth Caffee on Melrose, you could have ventured down the street to Kreiss Collection and bought some incredible sheets. Ask for Dimitri!
California King beds are longer.
Eastern King beds are wider.
Just imagine the state of California as a long state!
March 13th, 2009 at 2:14 pm
wow!!
i wish i had a bed like that!
sweet dreams boys! :)
March 14th, 2009 at 12:00 am
I would love to tap that ass in that bed when your boo boo is out of town
