For some reason, in every apartment we have shared, our bed cannot be flush with the wall because there is always some sort of heating apparatus in the way. This continues in our current apartment. And it means that, for the past seven years, we have been waking up in the middle of the night to find that our pillows have fallen off the bed into the crevasse between the bed and the wall. Which is dusty. Lily is allergic to dust. Luke has chronic neck pain (related, maybe?) Then we are cranky, tired, sore, and sneezy all day long. It only occurred to us this year that if we bought a headboard, this would stop happening. This is probably the thing on this registry that will most positively impact our quality of life.
