Beat the drum replace the bed

The mattress slipped des around on the base leaving a gap that swallows the already tiny pillows you find yourself waking up two and three times a night retrieving your pillows and repositioning the mattress on the base And the base is metal and makes a sound like a metal drum every time you get up or get in
