Length, thickness, height, hardness ALL matter

We spent two out of three days of our long weekend - how else - doing house stuff. This time round, we found out just how much the length, thickness, height and hardness matter.
Itz gotta be long enough to reach us nicely. Itz gotta be not-too-high or it will be most inconvenient. Itz gotta be not-too-thick or it will look damn out of place. And itz gotta be not-too-hard and not-too-soft or it won't be comfy. Oh yes, and the angle of the tilt is important too. Or it will just spray all over the damn place. Not too ideal.
We tried a couple; measured them all with finger and thumb - 11cm was too short, 15cm was too long, 13cm is just about right. But the longer they are, the higher and thicker they tend to be. But if we didn't want an obnoxious lump, we were left with the really weeny ones.
And then, there were those really pricey ones. Which looked exactly like the ones which weren't as expensive. Er, we haven't quite figured out why...
Big prefers not-too-hard ones; I prefer them a little harder. He didn't fancy the ones with the little balls, I thought they were cute. And then there was that question - to flap or not to flap.
Whoever said all those don't matter was lying.
Decisions, decisions - Librans, who take about 15min to decide on one dish from the menu - make them all the more fun to lock down.
We finally settled on the toilet sink faucet and the glass shelves for the toilet & bath from Hoe Kee, the toilet paper holder from Sim Siang Choon, and the mattress from Serta. The mattress comes with a plush sheep - Beth, you can have that when itz delivered.
