Mattress Shopping 101

Is it time for a new bed? Is your mattress flat? Do you lie in a wallowed out pit in the middle? I know, because I did and I needed a new mattress. I went shopping and want to give you the scoop on what I found. Have you seen the ads about foam beds? They pretty much tout the fact that you are sleeping on metal springs your whole life. Which that is true, and what an innovation it was at the time. The foam beds are neat. I looked at one at the mattress store. It does just like they say on TV. The first thing that scared me off was the price. Then my friend told me they tried one. Remember; get a mattress from someone who will let you return it after you sleep on it. Anyway, they got a foam mattress. He said after you lay on it, it conforms to your body. Then, he couldn’t get out of the “mold” to roll over. He sent it back and got a regular bed.

I started looking at the sleep number beds. They are air beds with individual number settings for each person. Appears that people would get deeper sleep on these beds by allowing their own firmness setting. Your side could be softer than your spouse’s side. This looked like a great potential for a bed. In fact, my in-laws bought one and threw away their mattress. They love it. They said it reduced their back pain and they got better sleep. Did I buy one? No, and the main reason was price. I’m a cheapo.

So I went to a regular mattress store. The one with the foam bed. I started with those and looked my way down. They have inner spring mattresses for the same price as a foam bed. Still too much. So as I stepped down in price, I noticed that basically, the mattresses were the same, they just reduced the amount and quality of layering components on the top surface. Some had fewer springs, so I had to watch and make sure the spring count was still as high as possible.

So what did I finally decide on? A Simmon’s Beautyrest World Class Exceptionale Two Story Coil on Coil Beauty Rest. It was cheaper than my original 10 year old Serta and I didn’t have to flip it. And it’s enormously thick. I had to rebuild the bed to accommodate the thick mattress. The thickness came into play with all the layers of foam. In fact, it had a layer of the memory foam that the solid foam beds are made of.

You’ll have to decide which bed is right for you. I needed a high quality bed for way under $1000 and I found it. Be sure you get the entire set, as the box springs are made to fit and support the newer, heavier mattresses.

Absolutely, Buy A Superior Quality Air Mattress Bed

Many people don’t own an air mattress bed because they possibly believe they would never have a use for one, and you are most likely one of them. However you really should give the matter some serious consideration. If you stopped to think about it for a minute you would really be amazed at the number of times an air mattress bed would have been useful to you in the past. After all they are relatively inexpensive and would enable you to be prepared for those unexpected visitors who need to stay the night.

Lets face it, we have all had people drop in unexpectedly and it is not always easy to accommodate them at such short notice. Imagine how awkward it would be sitting up all night talking to a friend you haven’t seen for years only to have them get up and leave because they need to check into a hotel for the night. Without an air mattress bed all you would have to offer them is the floor or the couch. Friends or not, I know where I would rather sleep. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to whip out the air mattress bed, inflate it in seconds and offer your guest a more comfortable option?

Camping is supposed to be enjoyable and relaxing right? Many of us have been camping from time to time, or regularly for that matter and we all know what it is like to sleep on the ground. Not a very nice experience. Pack an air mattress bed with your camping gear and sleeping on the ground will be a thing of the past. The bed can be stowed away easily and takes up very little room when deflated. With an air mattress bed your next camping experience can be enjoyable rather than back-breaking.

On the whole, an air mattress bed is a very versatile item indeed and it can save the day when it comes to those unexpected guests. Your local sporting goods or department store will most likely sell them. Alternatively, why not consider researching them online where you are sure to find a much larger range. Do yourself a favor, buy an air mattress bed and be ready for when you next need a good quality, convenient bed.

Child Bedroom Furniture

Children’s Bedroom Furniture should be bought while keeping in mind the needs of the children. The furniture should be done in sprightly colors to keep the spirits of the children bright. The Bedroom Furniture should have storage space to hold the toys and belongings of the kids. The ideal furniture for children should be such that it’s fun to have around and designed to be sturdy enough to last.

You can get an entire bedroom set that is replete with beds, drawers and a mirror, all done in hues to enliven and energize the child each time he or she enters the room. There are some highly creative designs available for these young ones, such as drawers designed in the form of castles. Get bunk beds for the two of your little ones, done in the style of castles or a space shuttle or a tractor. Add another layer of creativity to the room by sprucing up the room with bedcovers, curtains and posters done in vibrant hues. You can also think of buying thematic furniture that certain companies offer. There could be themes such as sports, butterflies, sea kingdom, stars and skies, with this motif running through all the furniture. You can also consider a bed with trundles for the kids, as they lend that playroom feel to the room.

Since the child studies in the room, having a study table is a must. Do your daughter’s room in the characteristic tradition of a dollhouse in shades of pink or yellow, with a 5- or 7-piece furniture set. This would usually include a single bed, set of drawers, headboard that could also be used as a bookcase, mirror and a side table. You can also get furniture that helps give your child a creative outlet. Get a chalkboard table where your child can write what he or she wants to. Get a bench for the room, where your child could have a good time with his or her friends. Having furniture of this sort ensures that the bedroom is the favorite haunt of your child and his friends.
