The Trend in Comforters



A cozy comforter is not just a practical way to keep warm. They have become so much more. Imagine a time where animal skins served as bedding. The focus was on practicality and necessity. A good comforter was the thickest, softest skin. Not too many people will be drawn to this in modern times.

Blankets gradually began being made of wool and cotton. It again served a purpose, but they were not too pretty. Bedding took another turn in colonial times. Pioneer women began wanting pretty things, but it was expensive to get them. Thus the art of Quilting was born. Using scraps of material from an old dress or a child’s worn pair of trousers, women would gather to make beautiful pieces of art that served a more practical purpose. While a handmade quilt may not be easy to come by, there are many choices for beautiful and elegant adult comforters. No matter what your style, there is a comforter set to meet your needs.

Children are just as free to choose a set that suits them. Kids can choose a Children’s Comforter set that will make their room a personal and exciting space. Colors and designs are limitless. It sure beats an itchy wool blanket that would have been the norm not too long ago.

Bedding has taken a turn for the better. The choices are limitless!

Mattresses - Latex or Memory Foam?



The latex mattress has been popular for half a century, serving millions of people worldwide. However, with new technology from NASA themselves, the memory foam mattress is at the height of popularity. What is the difference between them and which one is the Best mattress for you?

Memory foam is viscoelastic, allowing it to absorb shocks, as well as responsive to temperature, becoming softer with heat of your body. In a memory foam mattress, the lower layer of foam that is not receiving heat remains firm, giving proper support. In order to have optimum temperature relation, and thus comfort, the mattress should be ideally 3 ½”to 6” thick. Since it conforms to your body, the pressure is relieved and weight evenly distributed; this is the key to what makes memory foam so comfortable. Since there are no pressure points with the mattress, it greatly reduces tossing and turning during the night.

Latex has a unique feel best described as similar to Jell-O. It is more shape-conforming and offers support but is firmer, transferring more motion than memory foam. Some people prefer latex since it is seen as a more natural Eco Friendly Mattress and is capable of complete decomposition. Latex is naturally hypoallergenic and anti-microbial, resistant to dust mites, mold and fungus. An advantage of a latex bed is nearly indestructible and will often last a lifetime.

Weather you enjoy a more traditional latex mattress or see the merit in memory foam is a personal preference.

Bennett Bed- Perfect For Everyone



Great bedroom furniture is so much more than a collection of separate pieces: together, they create an atmosphere that, hopefully, is peaceful, calm, and relaxed. The bed is the centerpiece and should provide comfort and also style. It should contribute to the overall look of the room, guide the décor, and invite you to sleep tight. That’s a pretty tall order for some beds! Choosing the right bed, however, will give you the look you want and, as important, help you create the feeling you want. Metal beds can help you do this by offering great versatility, durability, and beauty.

Affordable Bedroom Sets - What's the difference between MDF and Solid Wood?



Choosing affordable bedroom furniture is about more than picking which style compliments your décor. That is important, but another factor to consider is what each piece is made of so you can be sure you are getting the very best quality and durability possible. This can be a bit confusing, so knowing what materials are commonly used can be very helpful. While we all know what solid wood is, we may be less sure of MDF, or medium-density fiberboard. What’s the difference between these materials, and which is right for your home?

Solid wood furniture is a good investment and always lends a classic look to any décor. However, solid wood is heavy, often cumbersome, and can be quite expensive. Those looking for alternatives may consider MDF. This is a product known as “engineered wood,” which is made of softwood fibers that are broken down, combined with wax and resin, and formed into panels. Because of the resin, though, it is much more dense than typical particleboard, which often backs shelves or bureaus. When looking for adult’s and children’s bedroom furniture, MDF is a great alternative to solid wood because it is durable, has no tendency to split, and can be made from environmentally friendly and sustainable fibers.

Another great reason to choose products made with MDF is that it is affordable. Discount bedroom furniture is often made with MDF instead of solid wood, but that does not mean you can’t get good quality. If you would rather have solid wood for your main pieces, that is an option. For your guest rooms or children’s rooms, MDF is more than sufficient to withstand a lot of use. It may not be of heirloom quality, but you certainly pay a lot less and the pieces are sturdy and durable. MDF is especially well-suited for children’s bedroom furniture, which gets replaced more frequently as children grow. MDF is a great alternative to solid wood for any room in your home.

Natura Plateau Mattress



A beautiful bed is only as good as its mattress. A high quality mattress can mean the difference between sleepless nights or peaceful, relaxing rest. You deserve to have the cares of the day melt away when you slip into bed. With an inferior mattress, you spend too much time tossing and turning, and disturbing your partner. When you live a busy, active life, the time you carve out for sleep is precious. For good sleep, good health, and good mood, good mattresses are invaluable. And for those who value the earth as much as their sleep, organic mattresses are a great investment. Made from natural materials and using reduced-wasted packaging, these mattresses help us all sleep easier at night.

The Natura Plateau Mattress uses a unique blend of quality materials to provide the greatest comfort. A five inch base of natural soy polyfoam is topped with four inches of Talalay latex. Talalay latex is made according to a multistep process that produces high quality foam with no fillers and is used to create a supple mattress that conforms to your body shape. The Natura Plateau is lined with natural, hypoallergenic wool, which helps regulate temperature, wick away moisture, and dramatically reduce common allergens. Exposure to sunlight and air will help bring out the wool’s lanolin, which makes a soft, luscious surface. Combining the outstanding comfort of memory foam mattresses with “green” materials, the Natura Plateau is an eco-friendly mattress that you can feel good about.

The Natura Plateau is part of Natura’s line of quality organic mattresses. Natura is committed to using natural materials to create socially responsible mattresses, pillows, and comforters. And they look and feel great. Comfortable, luxurious, and versatile, Natura products will enhance the beauty of any home.

Memory Foam Mattresses for a Great Night’s Sleep



Good health and good humor depend on a good night’s sleep. Too often, people toss and turn all night on traditional mattresses. Eight hours can seem more like four. Millions of Americans are sleep-deprived, and many would benefit from the quality and comfort of a memory foam mattress.

This revolutionary material was first developed by NASA to relieve some of the pressure and force on astronauts during take-off. The result was memory foam, which was able to mold itself to a person’s shape and return to normal after the weight was taken off. This was a perfect fit for the bedroom as well as space. What makes memory foam mattresses ideal for a restful night’s sleep is that they allow body weight to be distributed evenly while adapting to movements. In short, it is much more flexible, yet firm, than any traditional batting and spring mattress.

When looking for a great night’s sleep, look for the right product. A high-density foam is able to hold shape better. Pressure points along the body - at the head, shoulders, hips, lower back, and heels - are cushioned and relieved from the day’s stress. On a traditional mattress, there is no give, and these areas are forced to conform to the mattress instead of the other way around. High-quality foam provides comfort night after night and resists creating a permanent impression of your body. It is the best way to relieve pressure and gravity’s force on the body, allowing you to sleep soundly. No more shifting, tossing, and turning to find a comfortable position. Memory foam mattresses make a tremendous difference in sleep quality. Eight hours will feel like eight wonderful, restful hours after a night on a quality mattress.

Storage Beds – For Boys or Girls



Children’s bedroom furniture can be tricky to buy: you want furniture that is age-appropriate, made to withstand rough usage, and versatile. While you want it to appeal to your child, you also want it to be able to grow with them. Buying new pieces every time your child outgrows something is both expensive and unnecessary. Kids’ storage beds are the perfect solution. For boys, for girls, for toddlers, for tweens – storage beds are convenient, durable, useful, and fun. Take a moment to see why so many parents love them.

Resilience
Girls and boys can be very different, but one thing that all young children tend to be is rough on their possessions. Toys and furniture need to be durable. The right storage bed is a great investment because it will not only stand up to a lot of “love,” it will be able to accommodate them as they grow older.

A Teaching Tool
A great tip for using children’s storage beds: help them learn to clean up after themselves and to organize using the drawers. When they are young, your children can store toys, puzzles, and other things that usually end up on the floor. When they are older, they can store clothes, shoes, extra blankets, or the stuffed animals they’re too big to sleep with anymore. It is a great, and easy, way to keep their room clean. That’s a bonus for everyone. In addition, the drawers can really help your child have a sense of privacy for his special belongings. This is a great idea if you have children who share a room – each can have his own space.

Ensuring Versatility
Lots of kids beds these days are themed to match their ages. These are adorable, but fads come and go so quickly, and you’re left with an untrendy bed. And as your child grows, he or she won’t be interested in the same things. A much better use of money is to buy a more age-neutral storage bed and dress it up with linens that correspond with your child’s interests. These can be exchanged for much less money. The great storage bed, however, will never go out of style, and because they are also gender-neutral, you can pass them on to friends or family members with children.

Storage beds are invaluable for any home with children. Consider looking into one today for all these reasons and more.

Trundle Daybeds: Beauty or Comfort?



The answer: both! Trundle beds don’t have a very glamorous beginning. They were originally intended for servants who had to be at the beck and call of their masters even at night. The trundle, which is an additional bed that pops up or folds out from the main bed, was an uncomfortable add-on intended more for the master’s comfort than the servant’s. Times have changed and now trundle beds are a welcome addition to any home – and a pleasure to sleep on.

Contemporary daybeds with trundles are popular in homes throughout the world: not only are they convenient, they can be found in a wide variety of styles to accommodate any home’s décor. Trundle beds have numerous advantages: they provide extra sleep space for guests; they save space by being fitted under the main bed when you don’t need it; they eliminate the need to buy a whole new bed; and of course, daybeds can do double duty as couches or beds. How can you best use a daybed with trundle in your home to suit your needs?

The answer to that is use it however you want: the hallmark of daybeds, especially those made with trundles, is versatility. Place one in your living room instead of a couch. It provides comfortable and fashionable seating, and if you have a few guests, pop out the trundle bed. If you have a home office, put a daybed in so you can combine office duties and guest room in one. Try one in an enclosed porch for a fabulous summer retreat. Trundle beds for kids are also very convenient. Put one in your child’s room, and sleepovers are instantly much more comfortable. These beds work all over the house. For those concerned that daybeds look too much like beds, take a look at the recent designs. From cozy wooden daybeds to sleek contemporary ones, you will easily be able to find the right look. They can be adapted to fit any space and décor. They will be a great investment for your family’s comfort and your home’s style.

Treasures of Childhood

What did you collect when you were a child? Baseball cards? Action figures? Dolls? Or just bits and pieces that you treasured like your favorite stuffed animal, your warm fuzzy blanket, and the book you always read before bed? Whatever it is that children love, they need a special place for it. For kids, a simple box becomes a treasure chest, and for parents, there is nothing better than teaching your children to pick up after themselves and keep their possessions organized. When space is at a premium, it is important that children keep their toys and treasures at bay. A great way to do this is with a kid’s storage bed.

Children’s beds with built-in drawers are a perfect way to help your child learn the importance of keeping his special toys safe and in a place where he can always find them. No more frantic searching for that dog or this Lego set; they are neatly organized and ready for use. Not only that, but these drawers give your child his own space. This is especially important if children have siblings or if they share a room. Everyone needs a space to call their own, and a set of drawers is a perfect amount of personal, private space for a small child. Another great feature of storage beds is that they are versatile. As your child outgrows his toys, he can use the convenient drawers for sweaters, out-of-season clothes, shoes, and much more.

A drawer is so much more to a child. It can be a treasure chest, essentially a place to keep his most favorite possessions. Children’s storage beds combine great usability with space-saving design so you get the most out of your child's bedroom furniture. Why not choose a bed that can help your child learn to organize, that can give him a sense of privacy, and that can grow with him?

Upholstered Headboards: An Inexpensive Way to Give Your Bedroom a Facelift



Bedrooms should be refuges, places we want to escape to. If yours needs a boost in the style department but you are on a budget, consider an upholstered headboard. These are a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to change the whole look of your room. In a variety of styles, textures, and patterns, an infinite number of looks are possible.

Create ambience. Upholstered headboards instantly give any bedroom an added sense of elegance. Available in a rainbow of colors and a large variety of looks - from classic five-button styles to elegant arched headboards – it is easy to find one for every taste and décor. Simply adding an upholstered headboard can change the entire atmosphere of a room. For instance, in a room with stark white walls, a bold, bright red modern headboard can be a dramatic touch that will draw the eye. In a country-inspired room, a soft pastel will compliment the surrounding décor. The choices are endless, as is the enjoyment of a great-looking piece.

Create coherence. The right piece can pull together all the elements of a room. The lines of these headboards can echo those of the dresser or the arch of the mirror. The color can contrast beautifully with the window treatments or connect the carpet with the bed. If you have eclectic style, an upholstered headboard can help pull it together into a beautiful whole. If you have a very classic, modern, or traditional style, a contemporary headboard can compliment your other pieces. The beauty of a good headboard is that it can both offer similarities and provide contrasts, helping you achieve the look you want. Good sleep comes with a sense of peace and contentment, and that can be accomplished by having a beautiful bedroom. When you create a space that gives you joy and pleases your eye, you will love going there again and again. If your look needs updating, an upholstered headboard can be just the right choice for inexpensive and effective style.

Keetsa Tea Leaf Classic Mattress



One of the best ways to get a good night’s sleep is to get the right mattress. Sleeping on poor quality mattresses is like taking away several hours of sleep each night as you toss and turn, trying to find a comfortable position. Instead, why not lie down, close your eyes, and fall into a restful sleep? Why deal with the jarring disturbances when your partner moves? Why wake up achy and sore? The right choice can leave you feeling refreshed, energized, and ready for the day, and will make you want to return again and again.

The Keetsa Tea Leaf Classic Mattress is revolutionary in several ways. It is a high-density memory foam mattress, which means that it is able to contour itself to fit your body. Instead of twisting and turning to find the right spot, the right spot finds you. Memory foam provides more restful sleep because when your partner moves, you do not. High-density foam as is featured in the Keetsa Tea Leaf also resists retaining your body’s impression and making a mold of your body in the mattress, giving you a fresh palette on which to sleep night after night. The Keetsa Tea Leaf offers you pressure-less sleep no matter what position you sleep in so you do not wake up with sore joints and muscles. Your body isn’t forced out of alignment; instead the memory foam allows your pressure points to rest naturally. The Keetsa takes comfort to a new level by offering EverGreen, made from all-natural green tea. This is embedded into the foam for odor control and a pleasant aroma. Jacquard material sheaths the Keetsa Tea Leaf, giving it a luxuriously soft feel. Another great feature is that it is an eco friendly mattress; with all recycled materials and unique packaging, the Keetsa reduces waste and helps you reduce your carbon footprint. A mattress that looks, feels, and smells wonderful and provides fantastic sleep and is not harmful to the environment? The Keetsa does it all.

Keetsa Organic Mattresses change the way we look at mattresses. Committed to preserving the environment, Keetsa uses recycled materials and even a revolutionary caster oil based bio foam, so you can not only feel great on your mattress, you can feel good about it.
