I was recently on a 3 week trip in Seoul, South Korea. It is when you are out of your own for a decent period of time that you realise just how good your bed and pillow was, or how much you have grown used to it.
Room One.
For a bit over a week we slept here. Obviously harder than what we are used to, but for me it was the pillow’s that were the struggle here. In the end i think i used other blankets instead.
Room Two.
This was the second place. Fine for me i guess but not ideal for me and my wife together…i am no small man which didn’t help but it took us back to when we first got married and we didn’t have a lot of money so for a few months all we had was a King Single bed. So it was not an entirely new experience. The room did have air conditioner which was a major positive. The house itself was very nice, good showers and a comfortable couch!
Room Three.
We went out to a place which was a few hours travel from where we were staying so we stayed at people’s places for the night. We stayed here, this was the best bed we stayed in, it was so comfy and the pillows were awesome! It had its own ensuite. It was goodness, pure goodness. The lady who’s house we were at was very generous. Her husband only comes home on Saturday’s because he works a busy job, in fact he is an Animation Director. He worked on the Nickelodeon cartoon series – Avatar.
Room Four.
The last room. For the last three nights we were here, it was big enough for my wife AND me which was good, however it was pretty rock hard. It was funny actually because it looked so comfortable, so we kind of jumped in and Rach and I both went ‘ Argh ‘ as we hit the bed. It was like sleeping on a high floor with a sheet.
From what i have found it seems that the general consensus in Korea is that a hard bed is a good bed. I have yet to convince my back that this is the case.
