I don't think there's anywhere in Pittsburgh that you can order a bed and get it delivered same day (though if anybody can prove me wrong, please do!), especially not on a holiday when most of their delivery staff will have been given the day off. The two places I'd recommend going for a mattress, though, would be:

1. If you care more about looks and how pretty the frame is and things like that, the Macy's downtown has a wonderful selection of beds and frames and the like.

2. If price is more your concern and you can get out there (it's possible by bus - take the 67A to the Monroeville Mall and then walk from there), there's a Mattress King or something like that across the street from the Mattress Discounters that's wonderful. Its mattresses are a wee bit more expensive than you'd expect, but then the box spring comes free, so overall you're saving a bunch.

If all else fails and you need a temporary bed until your real one comes, there are several Futon stores around here that might actually be having sales rather than closing on the holiday.

Good luck!

The futon is a good idea. I might go with that. I'm not crazy about the whole box spring and matching mattress routine. I'll do some looking. Thanks.

If you go the futon route, you might want to see if the IKEA in Robinson is open on July 4. The other futon stores around -- like Norka -- usually don't keep a lot of things in stock, so you have to order what you want ahead of time.

Where is Norka in relation to Swissvale? I could always order something by telephone. I need to find out if they'll be open on the 4th. I'll look 'em up. Thanks!

I believe there is a Norka in Squirrel Hill on Forbes Ave, I think, which is very close to Swissvale.

Excellent. I'll give them a call once the apartment is definite.

Yes, it is on Forbes Ave. And the Thai restaurant above it is pretty good if you like Thai food.

I love most Thai food. Thanks for the tip.
