<h2><strong>IS THERE REALLY A COMFORTABLE </strong><a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofasc"><strong>SLEEPER </strong></a><strong>COUCH?</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> Sleeper couches have been at the forefront of guest room debates for many decades. The question of “what is better, a daybed or a sleeper couch?” often arises and each individual has their preference. We are here to tell you all the reasons why a sleeper couch is a great investment piece for your home, and why a pull-out couch can be just as comfortable as a daybed or normal bed.</p>

<h2><strong>WHAT IS A </strong><a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas"><strong>SLEEPER COUCH</strong></a><strong>?</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> Perfect for when your in-laws drop by unexpectedly or when your children’s friends have a sleepover, a sleeper couch is your “save-the-day” furniture item. Sleeper couches are the holy grail compared to camping stretchers or air mattresses, they can be placed in your living room, study or guest room and can be pulled out to reveal a comfortable mattress for your guests to sleep on – hence the name <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper couch</a>.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sleeper couches are available in a wide array of shapes, styles and sizes. Which style you select is solely based on your personal preferences, whereas the shape and size may be more dependent on the shape and size of the room that you are planning on placing the sleeper couch in. We recommend that you measure your space properly first to endure that not only will the couch fit into the room when it is folded up, but that when the sleeper couch is pulled out that there is enough space to fit both the extended bed but also to be able to walk around the room comfortably.</p>

<h2><strong>WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A </strong><a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas"><strong>SLEEPER COUCH</strong></a></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3><strong>1 SLEEPER COUCHES ARE GREAT SPACE SAVERS</strong></h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> Whether your space is big or small, a <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper couch</a> is a great way to effectively use your space without wasting valuable floor space. One of the main reasons that so many people opt for a <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper couch</a> is that they save space by performing dual functions. <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">Sleeper couches</a> offer a stylish, comfortable place to sit and a practical place to sleep. <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">Sleeper couches</a> are particularly handy for those individuals that live in smaller apartments or studio lofts where space can be quite limited.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3><strong>2 SLEEPER COUCHES ARE COST EFFECTIVE</strong></h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">Sleeper couches function as a two-in</a>-one furniture piece as you are essentially getting a couch and a bed in one, and this particular reason is why sleeper couches are so incredibly popular. While they may be a bit more expensive than the average couch, you need to keep in mind that it is not just one piece of furniture, it functions as two. Sleeper couches allow you to save money over time as you can move your sleeper couch from room to room as your family and home grow and expand.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3><strong>3 SLEEPER COUCHES ARE FUNCTIONAL AND VERSATILE </strong> </h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While an average couch offers you a place to sit and lounge with your guests, and a bed offers a relaxing place to rest, a <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/sleeper-couches/">sleeper couch is the best of both worlds</a>. A <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper </a>couch allows you to lounge around during the day and enjoy a comfortable sleep at night by transforming it into a bed. If your apartment is not large enough for a guest room, having a <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper couch</a> in your living room in place of your couch is the ideal situation. Not only does a <a href="https://leathergallery.co.za/pages/sleeper-sofas">sleeper </a>couch provide seating for your guests; but it also provides the benefit of an extra bed, allowing your guests to have a place to stay overnight.</p>

<h3><strong>4 SLEEPER COUCHES ARE COMFORTABLE </strong> </h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/sleeper-couches/">Traditional sleeper couches</a> may not have the very best reputation for being very comfortable to sleep on. However, things have changed drastically and with the combination of the materials and technology of today, the design and quality of sleeper couches have drastically improved and are now incredibly comfortable.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} -->
<h3><strong>5 SLEEPER COUCHES ARE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING</strong></h3>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sleeper couches solve the problem of not having enough room to have a guest bedroom and thus having to have old, ugly mattresses laying around in storage for when family and friends come to stay. Adding a sleeper couch to your space will create an aesthetically pleasing environment in your home, no matter which room you decide to place it in. When choosing which couch you want for your home, you will be spoilt for choice. Available in a wide array of custom leather or fabric colour options, our range of sleeper couches can be completely customised to suit the style and aesthetics.</p>

But both need deep cleaning at least twice a year.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none 0px;" /></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“Over time, hair, dead skin cells, sweat, and drool build up on the pillow,” says Neil Kao, MD, an allergist-immunologist in Greenville, S.C. And all that gunk is basically the stuff that dust mites love to munch on, which causes their population to multiply and increases your chances of having an allergic reaction to their presence.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Along with washing your pillow a few times a year - you might also want to invest in a <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/bedding/pillow-protectors/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 68, 68, 0) 50%, rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.25) 0px); background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 1em 2px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.15em; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">pillow protector</a> to keep a lot of the gross stuff out and extend the life of your pillow.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In this article - the steps of how to keep your pillow fresh, clean, and ready for a good night’s sleep. </p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Just one thing before you clean: When washing pillows, always read the label first. Many pillows—though not all—can be machine washed.</p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Gibson, "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Step 1: Air It Out</h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Give your pillows daily fluffing to restore their shape and remove dust. Then, every month or so, hang them outdoors on a clothesline for a few hours, ideally on a bright, breezy day. If that’s not an option, as with some foam and latex pillows, run them through the dryer on the no-heat cycle.</p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Gibson, "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Step 2: Wash It Gently</h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“If your pillow can withstand being laundered, you should wash it at least twice a year, or quarterly if you sweat a lot, eat in bed, or have pets sleep in your bed with you,” says Melissa Homer, a chief cleaning officer at MaidPro, a housecleaning franchise in the United States and Canada.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Laundering a pillow isn’t difficult, though it can take a bit of time to dry.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If your pillow has a wet stain that you’re trying to remove, spot treat the pillowcase and pillow with a stain cleaner that targets that type of stain before popping it into the wash. (The same trick works for <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/mattresses/how-to-remove-mattress-stains-a1897389771/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 68, 68, 0) 50%, rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.25) 0px); background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 1em 2px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.15em; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">getting stains out of a mattress</a>.)</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If your washing machine is large enough, wash two pillows at a time. That will help balance the load, allowing the water and detergent to circulate more effectively. Because the agitator on conventional top-loaders can be tough on pillows, it’s best to agitate on the gentle cycle only for a few minutes (or the shortest possible setting, if you can’t control the time). </p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alternatively, you could make a special trip to the laundromat to use its front-loaders.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Follow these directions for specific types of pillow fills:</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Down or feather: Most down pillows can be put in the washing machine. But use cool water and a mild detergent, then dry on low heat. (High temperatures can damage the down.)</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Memory foam or latex: Washer agitation can break up foam, so these pillows will probably need to be hand-washed. Vacuum dust off of the pillow, then spot clean with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild detergent. Lay the pillow flat to air dry.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Polyester: Wash with warm water on the gentle cycle, preferably a few pillows at a time to balance the load. Be sparing with the detergent—use about 1 tablespoon of liquid soap.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">• Buckwheat hulls: Empty the buckwheat filling onto a large cookie sheet or wide, shallow bowl. Set the buckwheat out in the sun, which will eliminate odours, and wash the shell casing using cold water and a mild detergent.</p><h2 style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Gibson, "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Step 3: Dry It Thoroughly</h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">It’s crucial to get the pillow completely dry—otherwise, you risk mildew. Skip the auto-dry setting on your <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/clothes-dryers.htm" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 68, 68, 0) 50%, rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.25) 0px); background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 1em 2px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.15em; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">clothes dryer</a>, because the sensors will detect only surface moisture, leaving you with a pillow that’s still damp on the inside.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Instead, many pillows can be dried for a good hour on moderate heat. Adding a couple of dry towels will speed things up.

<p>Since you rest your head on your pillow every night, you want to make sure that it's as clean and germ-free as possible. And no, we're not just talking about the pillowcase itself. In addition to regularly <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/cleaning/tips/a32064/washing-sheets-mistakes/">cleaning your sheets</a> and comforter, you should also be caring for your pillows, mattress, and mattress topper. Pillows, especially, should be washed at least two to four times a year (say, every four months) to help them last longer. But not <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/pillows/">all types of pillows</a> — down, fiberfill, and solid foam — should be treated in the same way.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While most styles are machine washable, some are dry-clean only, have front-loading <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/appliances/washer-reviews/g105/washing-machine-reviews/">washing machine</a> restrictions or advise only spot-treating. And the last thing you want is one that’s a hassle to keep clean. The content and care tag on the pillow is the best place to start, but if you can't find step-by-step instructions or need further guidance, follow this guide by Carolyn Forte, Director of the <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/institute/about-the-institute/a16265/about-good-housekeeping-research-institute/">Good Housekeeping Institute</a> Cleaning Lab, how to wash pillows, no matter the size, shape, or fill.</p>

<h2 id="how-to-wash-down-and-fiberfill-pillows-in-the-washer"><strong>How to Wash Down and Fiberfill Pillows in the Washer</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You're in luck: Most down and fiberfill pillows are machine-friendly, which means you can just toss them in <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/appliances/washer-reviews/g105/washing-machine-reviews/">the washing machine</a> for a refresh. Be sure to wash two pillows at a time to keep the washer balanced, ensuring an all-around clean. While any washing machine will do, front- or top-loading machines without an agitator (a.k.a. the large spindle in the middle of some machines) is your best bet. If an agitator-style top loader is your only option, place the pillows in the tub vertically to lessen the chance of them getting damaged by the agitator.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>It goes without saying that you should always read your pillow's care label and follow the directions accordingly. If you clipped off the tag or can't find the instructions, use this step-by-step as your guide:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} -->
<ol><li>Select the gentle cycle and use warm water, then add on an extra cold water rinse and spin cycle.</li><li>Add a small amount of detergent.</li><li>Tumble the pillows dry on low heat, fluffing and turning them often. To help keep pillows plump, toss in a few dryer balls from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Nellies-Blue-Dryerballs-Naturally-Non-Toxic/dp/B0045Z12LW/?ots=1&slotNum=1&imprToken=c8bf1038-bdf2-1775-f84&linkCode=ogi&tag=goodhousekeeping_auto-append-20&ascsubtag=[artid%7C10055.a.19468[src%7C[ch%7C[lt%7C">Nellie's</a>. Stop the dryer a few times throughout the cycle to fluff them and break up lumps by hand.</li></ol>

<h2 id="how-to-wash-solid-foam-pillows"><strong>How to Wash Solid Foam Pillows</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Unfortunately, you can't put your latex or <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home-products/pillow-reviews/a25560550/best-memory-foam-pillow/">memory foam pillows</a> straight in the washing machine. While foam pillows are resistant to dust mites, it's still important to clean them on a regular basis. As always, you should check the washing instructions on the pillow's tag, or follow Forte's cleaning method outlined here:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:list {"ordered":true} -->
<ol><li>Remove pillow covers or pillowcases and wash according to the care tag. If you cut off the care tag, stick the pillowcases and covers in the washing machine, select the normal or casual cycle, and wash in warm or hot water. Add detergent.</li><li>To get rid of dust or dirt on the pillow, vacuum both sides, or tumble in the dryer on the no-heat or air-only cycle for 20 minutes.</li><li>Spot clean any soiled areas with a cloth dipped in a mild sudsy soap solution. Lightly rinse with a damp cloth. (FYI, wet foam tears easily, so be gentle with the water and soap solution.)</li><li>Allow the pillow to air dry completely before putting it back on the bed or couch.</li></ol>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>No matter how diligent you are about cleaning your <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/pillows/">pillows</a>, you'll need to buy new ones eventually. The foolproof way to know when to toss 'em: "If you fold the pillow in half, and it doesn't spring back into shape, plan for a shopping trip," Forte explains. If your pillows have a funny odour even after you give them a good wash, it's also <a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home-products/pillow-reviews/a19289/best-pillows/">a good idea to replace them</a>. To help lengthen your pillow's life, use liners under your pillowcases and wash pillows every four to six months.<br /><br />Need new pillows?

The support to the other level is given by the poles that are attached at the corner. The upper bed is accessible by ladder. Also, the top surface is surrounded by rails so that the person sleeping can be prevented from falling down.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In households, these are used as an accessory for the kids’ room as these allow to maximise the floor space.

Being positive that you’ve <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/">bought the perfect bed</a> is a must.

Doing this can cause damage to the mattress that the contract of your warranty does not cover.</p><p>If you have kids in your home, don’t let them jump in the bed since it can damage the insides of a bed.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bedrooms are made for a specific purpose–facilitating sleep and rest. A bedroom’s environment should be conducive enough for a sufficient and sound nighttime sleep. To ensure that you’ll attain good sleep every night, you should keep your sleeping environment safe, comfortable, and inviting.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>While many people don’t pay much attention to their <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattresses/">mattresses</a>, it’s, in fact, a piece of essential sleeping equipment in your bedroom that can heavily affect your daily life.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To convince you, take a look at some of the <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattresses/">benefits of having a good mattress</a> to sleep on:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5><strong>1. Achieve Adequate, Quality Nighttime Sleep</strong></h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Topping off this list is the key advantage of having a good mattress from a bad one–getting a tight sleep, rest, or nap every time. Depending on the mattress type you have, they can either offer pressure point relief, back support or both, while making you feel like you’re on cloud nine.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>A good mattress should support your sleep and not ruin it. If you’re feeling uncomfortable every night, having difficulty sleeping, or waking up with body pain, these may be signs that it’s time to buy a new mattress. <a href="https://www.reclaimtheinternet.com/sleep/best-mattress-for-back-pain/">Click here now</a> to see the best mattress recommendations if you’re suffering from chronic back pain.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5><strong>2. Promote Good Form and Posture</strong></h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>People sleep in different sleeping positions and might not even be aware of it. By having not just a good mattress but also the right one, you can maintain or improve your form and posture. If you have a consistent sleeping position every night, you must have the right mattress that promotes proper form and posture.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For instance, side sleepers are more prone to back pain as their fetal sleeping position puts strain on the back and neck. It can also apply pressure to the arms and shoulders since it’ll be pressed onto the mattress, restricting blood flow. If you tend to sleep on your right side, this position can also add stress to your organs.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Thankfully, memory foam mattresses got side sleepers covered. The material’s responsiveness can maintain spine alignment and provide a cushion to pressure points. However, if you opt for other mattress types that aren’t side sleeper-friendly, your joints and spine can be compromised. Thus, take your sleeping position into account when <a href="https://www.healthline.com/health/healthy-sleep/how-to-choose-a-mattress">choosing a mattress</a>.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5><strong>3. Keep Your Mental and Emotional Health in Check</strong></h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Having a bad mattress can indeed mess up your sleep. At first, this could only lead to sleepless nights, but sleeping every night on a bad mattress can eventually lead to sleep deprivation. Lack of sleep is known to be linked to various short- and long-term consequences, and it can take a heavy toll on your mental and emotional health.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here are some of the most common effects of poor, inadequate sleep on your mental and emotional health:</p>

<!-- /wp:list -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>By sleeping on a good mattress, your chances of enjoying a sound sleep increase, and you’ll less likely experience these health consequences mentioned above. However, take note that a good bed won’t be enough to achieve the best sleep, which will lead you to the next point.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading {"level":5} -->
<h5><strong>4. Develop an Inclination to Your Sleeping</strong></h5>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Unfortunately, some people dislike sleeping due to many personal reasons, which can include a bad mattress. Also, some people are too focused on hustling at work, school, and other activities that they forget to sleep. With a good mattress, you might finally be back to square one with sleeping!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you’re someone who doesn’t get fulfilled after a night’s sleep, your mattress may be the culprit. Also, curating an inviting sleeping environment can encourage you to sleep more.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Don’t forget to treat yourself to a perfect night’s sleep. Check out some tips to make your bedroom sleep-friendly:</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

When shopping for a bedroom furniture set, one of your main considerations should be how many and which furniture pieces you'd like included. There are six main types of bedroom sets to keep in mind while shopping:</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Two-Piece:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> Complete with only a bed and a nightstand, two-piece bedroom sets are the most basic bedroom sets available and are excellent for effortlessly furnishing a guest bedroom.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Three-Piece:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> Three-piece bedroom sets are a bit more practical than two-piece sets because they have the added benefit of a matching dresser. Though this means this bedroom furniture set will cost a bit more and take up more space than a two-piece set, the added storage space will be well worth it.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Four-Piece:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> With an included mirror, four-piece bedroom sets include one more piece than three-piece sets.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Five-Piece:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> Need a little more storage? Opt for a five-piece bedroom furniture set that comes with a bed, a nightstand, a dresser, a mirror, and a chest.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Six-Piece:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> Six-piece bedroom sets are some of the most inclusive bedroom sets available. The furniture pieces included in these six-piece sets vary; some sets include a bed, two nightstands, a dresser, a chest, and a mirror, while other sets can include armoires, trunks, benches, and more. These complex bedroom sets are perfect for furnishing a master bedroom with ease.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">Dresser:</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> A dresser bedroom set is unique in that it doesn't come with a bed; it includes just a matching dresser and nightstand. This type of bedroom set is ideal if you already have a bed and are looking to easily furnish the rest of your space with matching pieces.</span> </div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="275" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/default-name-1_orig.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 100%; width: auto;" width="400" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 400;">Bedroom Size & Bedroom Set Layout</span><span style="color: #1155cc;"></span></span></strong> <br /><span style="color: #211e22;">Before you buy, it's important to measure your bedroom to find out what furniture pieces it can comfortably fit. The size of your bedroom will dictate the amount of furniture you can purchase and thus will inform you which type of bedroom set is the best choice for you. A smaller bedroom will feel cramped with too many large pieces, so a basic set of bedroom furniture from </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/bed-sets/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Bed King</span></a><span style="color: #211e22;"> to </span><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;">compliment your bed set</span><span style="color: #211e22;"> may be ideal. If you have a larger room, an expanded set with many pieces might be the right choice for you.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22;">Thoroughly measure your room including door widths and window heights. Window height is an important measurement because it will inform the placement of your bedroom furniture – furniture should only be placed under a window if it won't overlap with the windowsill.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22;">Keep your bedroom's measurements handy as you shop. Each bedroom set option should have individual measurements listed for each furniture piece in its Weights & Dimensions tab. It can help to draw up a floor plan of your bedroom to see if and how certain furniture pieces can fit in your space.</span><br /><span style="color: #211e22; font-weight: 700;"><br />Bed Size<br /></span><span style="color: #211e22;">Though most bedroom sets do not include a mattress, it's imperative to keep standard mattress sizes in mind while shopping for a bedroom set because the </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/bed-sets/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">bed set will be a specific size</span></a><span style="color: #211e22;">.

Choose a set that matches the existing decor in your home to give your space a cohesive feel.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22;">You can also shop for bedroom sets by material. Available in solid wood in an assortment of colours from light to espresso, metal, wicker rattan, and more, you should find a bedroom set in the material and price range that best suits you.</span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #211e22;">Since the bedroom set includes the majority of furniture in your bedroom, take your time to find a set in a style that you really love – it will set the tone of the entire space.</span><br /> <br /><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-9802da8e-7fff-3d12-9757-72384bc46286"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Original article source: https://www.wayfair.com/</span></p></span></div>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-76101184411244112742021-09-16T22:26:00.002-07:002021-09-16T22:26:20.262-07:00What Bed Size Should I Buy?<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Uaw-Vf_bcz8fc4377kYPKMgRfyQgs4oA3GswiSJK0KjQEWHpeuO0bRRus0bPqnjdBOl8NX9xbkjU2u9eE1mhFzUmMMOQW8FUjwSrSQkrC_aUUkTK2m5tg5b6X1WuMQAb9kZHxBcgovw/s1024/man-shopping-for-mattress-canva-resized.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="512" data-original-width="1024" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5Uaw-Vf_bcz8fc4377kYPKMgRfyQgs4oA3GswiSJK0KjQEWHpeuO0bRRus0bPqnjdBOl8NX9xbkjU2u9eE1mhFzUmMMOQW8FUjwSrSQkrC_aUUkTK2m5tg5b6X1WuMQAb9kZHxBcgovw/s320/man-shopping-for-mattress-canva-resized.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">There are many situations that create the need for a new bed. Maybe you and your significant other are moving in together for the first time, or maybe you’re a parent, and you noticed your child’s feet hanging off the end of their bed. These are just a few of the many events that will inspire you to start shopping around. When this time comes, you’ll have to answer the question “What bed size should I get?”</span><p></p><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Considerations When Choosing a Bed Size</span><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><b>1.

Is it for you and/or your partner, a child, guests that come to visit, or someone else? Think about how many people it needs to accommodate.</span></span><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Children and teens can easily sleep on a single mattress, though often appreciate the width of a double or queen mattress.</span></li><li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">While double mattresses can suit an adult or guests in a pinch, it's often more comfortable to offer a queen mattress in case two people need to sleep on the mattress. If deciding between the two, let your room size be your guide.</span></li><li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">Singles and smaller couples find they have plenty of room on a queen mattress, but it's best to be sure. One helpful hint: this size is often the most common in retail showrooms, so you can easily judge its size by visiting a retailer near you.</span></li><li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;">King mattresses are good options for taller persons or for couples who prefer extra room, especially if little ones like to hop into bed with mum or dad.</span></li></ul><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /><b>2. How Much Space is Available?</b><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Next, how much space do you have? This is obviously very important as the bed will need to fit comfortably into the room where it will be used. Consider the amount of space required for comfortable living, factoring in clearance for doors and drawers, walking around the perimeter of your bed frame and other furnishings., and leaving enough room to rotate your mattress without hitting walls. About 75–90 cm clearance or more on 2-3 sides is ideal.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">On the </span><b><span style="color: #333333;">Bed King</span></b><span style="color: #333333;"> website, you will find </span><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattress-and-base-sizes.php" href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattress-and-base-sizes.php" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">mattress measurements for each bed size</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">. It can be helpful to get an understanding of how a bed will fit into your room by marking out the dimensions on the floor using tape. Then you will be able to visually see which sizes will fit well.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><b>3.

Beds can range widely in price depending on a few factors. As can be expected, the larger the bed, the more it will cost. However, you will run into other variables including the craftsmanship of the bed and the quality of the mattress. To e<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><b>4.

For example, you may be thinking of purchasing a Single bed for your child. However, a few years down the road, they are likely going to outgrow it and need more room. With that in mind, you may want to consider a King Single or Double. This can help you to save money in the long run.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Now that you know what all should be considered, let’s take a closer look at the </span><a data-cke-saved-href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattress-and-base-sizes.php" href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattress-and-base-sizes.php" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">bed size options</span></a><span style="color: #333333;">.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">SINGLE AND SINGLE XL BED SIZE<br /></span></span></span><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Single Mattress Size Benefits</span><br /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The main benefit of these sizes is that they take up a minimal amount of space. The result is that they are easy to move and can fit in small rooms. They are also the most inexpensive, which can be helpful when you’re on a tight budget.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Who it’s good for</span></u><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">A single bed is recommended for young children. It offers enough space for them to move around when asleep while leaving plenty of room for other activities when they are awake. If you have two kids, you can usually fit two of these beds in one room without cramping the space. Aside from children, this size is good when you want to furnish a spare bedroom to sleep two adults separately. You can then push the beds together for couples who visit. It can also suit the needs of an adult staying in a room with limited space, like a college student for example. In the case where adults are likely to be using the bed most often, the single XL is recommended to give the extra length needed for their height. While these beds are small, you can still equip them with a high-quality mattress that ensures a comfortable night’s rest for whoever sleeps on them.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KING SINGLE BED SIZE<br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">A King single is nice for when you want to get an inexpensive bed with more room than a standard single.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">King Single Mattress Size Benefits</span></b><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">This bed will still fit well into rooms with limited space but offers the extra width to allow for more movement. It’s a nice medium if a Single is too small and a Double is too big.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Who it’s good for</span></u><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The King Single bed will likely be suitable for a child all the way through their teenage years. It provides the extra length and width to support them until they are ready to move out and get their own bed. They may even take this with them to their first home or apartment. With this being the case, if you are considering a bed for your child and their room is small to medium-sized, this should fit them now and in the years to come. It can also work well to sleep one person in a guest room as it will give a tad more space than the Single.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">DOUBLE BED SIZE<br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The Double is also commonly called a Full size and is a step up from the Single King option.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Double Mattress Size Benefits</span><br /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">This bed size can sleep two people comfortably while taking up a minimal amount of space.

It will also be good for a child who moves around a lot in their sleep and who tends to roll off of the smaller sized beds. The width allows for one person to spread out without hanging off the end. Likewise, it works well for couples who are working with limited floor space. It provides enough room for two people to sleep, however, it will keep you fairly close together. If you are furnishing a small to medium-sized guest room, it’s the smallest size that will comfortably sleep two people.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #434343;"><span style="font-size: medium;">QUEEN BED SIZE<br /></span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Going up in size, the next option is going to be the Queen.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;"><b>Queen Mattress Size Benefits</b> </span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The Queen really is a wonderful combination when it comes to comfort, size, and cost. This is especially true for couples. It gives you enough room to spread out when you want your personal space, but it keeps you close enough to reach your partner for snuggle time in the colder months. The Queen will fit nicely in most bedrooms without the worry of having to move or rearrange the existing furniture.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><u style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">Who it’s good for</span><br /></u><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The Queen is perfect for a couple with an average-sized bedroom. They can sleep in the same bed without having to worry too much about disturbing each other when they move around. Single people also enjoy this size, when space and budget permit because it allows a bounty of room to spread out, toss and turn, or maybe even have a guest over.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #434343;"><span style="font-size: medium;">KING BED SIZE</span><br /></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The King size mattress is often the largest that a normal-sized room will accommodate.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><b style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">King Mattress Size Benefits</span><br /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The benefit of this bed is that it allows for two people to fully stretch out and turn without disturbing one another.

It is also excellent for couples that can't seem to find enough space in a Queen size bed. There is about an extra metre in width that allows for married people or partners to have their own personal space during sleeping hours.

When the need arises, Junior can sleep on a blow-up mattress in another room, while your guests get a proper double bed in which to snooze. Yes, they’ll have to put up with some odd posters on the walls and a Star Wars light shade, but they’ll get a proper bed in which to spend the night.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">All Grown Up</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Double beds for children are an attractive and practical alternative to that other staple of the kid’s bedroom, the bunk. Not only that, but children don’t outgrow double beds the way they outgrow bunk beds. And, who knows, if they ever actually move out, you will still have a perfectly useful piece of bedroom furniture as the basis for a guest room.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One piece of advice: don’t be tempted to scrimp on storage space when you decide to buy a double bed. Do use under-bed boxes – there is a lot of space under that bed – and do have lots of drawers and cupboards, because kids gather lots of ‘stuff’, regardless of what bed they sleep in. And ask about mattresses – you’ll want your child to be comfy but also healthy, and you’ll want to be sure a mattress can put up with the rigours of children bouncing around and entertaining themselves.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Short of Space?<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none 0px;" /></span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One final thought – if you need more sleeping space but you also like the idea of a double bed for your child, you can get the best of both worlds with a triple-sleeper bunk. That way, there’s a double bed on one level with a single-sleeper bunk above. It’s ideal for sleepover guests and looks cool in a kid’s room, too.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">When it comes to putting a bedroom together that will keep you and your child happy, there have never been more options to help you get the most out of the available space – and give your child a bedroom they can be proud of.</p><div>.</div><div>.</div><div>.</div><div><div>Article sourced from https://thesleepshop.co.uk/</div></div><div><br /></div>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-85057472394973002022021-08-28T09:02:00.002-07:002021-08-28T09:03:07.081-07:00All About Down Pillows<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cRzjYXfV0zNErTtjichpJZ3q-MYXUtd_q6FSfpY7V0Oqk-D0mddXA1rwzIog9t9lX_JWutJlyhHVLp3fakm54wbZFrYeeec4h2IcFQarFBcHxpD3yqaBfY6Z5lT2osLWRy7EuzpBB_A/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="664" data-original-width="1000" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cRzjYXfV0zNErTtjichpJZ3q-MYXUtd_q6FSfpY7V0Oqk-D0mddXA1rwzIog9t9lX_JWutJlyhHVLp3fakm54wbZFrYeeec4h2IcFQarFBcHxpD3yqaBfY6Z5lT2osLWRy7EuzpBB_A/" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />There are a plethora of different types of pillows and fillings you can find. One type of pillow that's been around for centuries is down and <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/pillows/down-pillows/">down feather pillows</a>.<br /><br />It's getting harder and more expensive to find the best down pillows, most "down" pillows marketed today are down alternative feather pillows, and are much less expensive. So, what is down, and do you really need it for your pillow?<br /><br />In this article, we're going to explain exactly what down, feathers, and down alternative is and which option you should go with for your next pillow.<br /><br />Let's get started!</span><h3 style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></h3><h3 style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Down vs. Feathers</span></h3><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />It's very, very common that the terms "down" and "feathers" are used interchangeably. However, they're very different! They feel different, have different properties, and require different care.<br /><br />In short, down can be thought of like a bird's undercoat. Imagine the type of feathers you see on a baby bird. These soft, short, and fluffy feathers are known as down.<br /><br />In adult birds, down is generally found around the chest.<br /><br />Feathers, on the other hand, are larger, have a quill, and aren't nearly as fluffy. Feathers generally come from the wings or back of the bird, and will be flatter and lack the insulation qualities down has.</span><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">Fill Power</span></h2><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />Not all down and feathers are created equally. When you get into higher quality <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/pillows/down-pillows/">down pillows</a>, you'll discover something called "fill power". The bigger the down feather clusters are, the more fluffy support you're going to have.<br /><br />Bigger feathers with more fill power generally come from a white goose, rather than a smaller bird like a duck. The bigger the bird, the more fill power the down has.<br /><br />When looking for high quality down pillows with a large fill power - take a look at the <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/pillows/down-pillows/">feather pillow range</a> at <b>Bed King</b>.</span><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">What is Down Alternative?</span></h2><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />As we've mentioned, true down pillows can get expensive. However, that doesn't stop people from loving the feeling of down pillows. This love for down led to the creation of a down alternative material.<br /><br />Down alternative is often made of clumps of synthetic materials like rayon or polyester and fluffed to mimic the feel of down.<br /><br />Down alternative pillows are much cheaper than true down, but won't last nearly as long.</span><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.68; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -2pt 0pt 4pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #353535; font-family: Arial; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;">What Is a Down Pillow, and Should I Get One?</span></h2><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />When it comes to choosing a pillow, the ultimate decision is up to personal preference. If you like soft support and a cooling feel, down can be a great choice for a pillow.<br /><br />With proper care, a down pillow can last for 20 or more years. Just make sure you use a waterproof pillowcase or silk zipping pillow protector, so the pillow doesn't get soaked in natural oils from your face over time.<br /><br />If you're on a tighter budget, a down alternative pillow will give you the same feel, just expect to have to replace the pillow more often.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Article source: <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/blog/all-about-down-pillows</a></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><br /></span></p>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-45660856956971185682021-07-12T03:21:00.002-07:002021-07-12T03:21:28.902-07:00Here’s Why You Need a Mattress Protector<p> <span style="color: #1a293c;">A mattress protector can become one of the most important accessories that you will ever buy for your bed. When you have just bought a new bed, you should be prioritising keeping the mattress in great condition. New beds can give you a wide variety of options, from beds designed to give your body complete support to beds that give special attention to specific areas of your body so keeping the mattress in the best condition will increase its lifespan. A </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/bedding/mattress-protectors/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>mattress cover</u></span></a><span style="color: #1a293c;"> is really important and </span><b><span style="color: #1a293c;">Bed King</span></b><span style="color: #1a293c;"> keeps some of the best </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/bedding/mattress-protectors/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>mattress protectors</u></span></a><span style="color: #1a293c;"> to keep your bed protected.</span></p><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img data-natural-height="768" data-natural-width="768" height="400" src="https://dev.themattresswarehouse.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/WaterproofMattressProtector-9.jpg" width="400" /></div><h2><span style="color: #1a293c;">What exactly is a mattress cover?</span></h2><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">A mattress cover is what it says it is: a cover. Made using high-quality fabrics, your mattress cover is designed for the purpose of protecting the mattress beneath it. This is a piece of removable bedding that can be cleaned whenever necessary. The mattress protectors will not only protect the mattress from getting dirty but will also protect the sleeping person from being affected by dust mites and other allergens that could be keeping them awake at night.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">You might be wondering why you can’t keep the bed clean using other methods. While you could keep your mattress clean by giving it a vacuum, this will need to be done on a regular basis and then there are the stains that will not be removed by simply vacuuming. When a mattress does not have the right cover or any cover at all for that matter, it can very easily be stained with perspiration and just about any other mess.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">If you have a really expensive bed, or luxury fabrics and foams such as memory foam, you will want to make sure that your bed is given that extra bit of protection. The kind of mattress covers you should look for in this case is known as mattress pads and they will not only protect your mattress but they can also add a bit of extra comfort depending on the mattress cover you choose. Conventional mattress protectors are breathable and can be washed as often as needed although your cover will probably come with instructions for how often the mattress cover will need to be washed.</span></div><div><br /></div><h2><span style="color: #1a293c;">A breakdown of what you are protecting your mattress from:</span></h2><ul><li><div marginbottom="0" margintop="40" style="margin-top: 40px;"><span style="color: #1a293c;">Everyday wear and tear reduce the ageing of your mattress and give it a longer life.</span></div></li><li><div marginbottom="0" margintop="0"><span style="color: #1a293c;">Liquids and spills</span></div></li><li><div marginbottom="0" margintop="0"><span style="color: #1a293c;">All kinds of allergens</span></div></li><li><div marginbottom="40" margintop="0" style="margin-bottom: 40px;"><span style="color: #1a293c;">Bed bugs (you will find fully encased mattress protectors can help in this regard)</span></div></li></ul><h2><span style="color: #1a293c;">How the mattress cover protects the sleeper</span></h2><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">There are many great </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/bedding/mattress-protectors/" rev="en_rl_none"><span style="color: #1155cc;"><u>benefits to having a mattress protector</u></span></a><span style="color: #1a293c;">, for both the sleeper and the bed. If you are the kind of person susceptible to allergies, having such a protector can really make a difference in the quality of your sleep. Keeping dust mites and other allergy-causing elements away from the mattress and away from the sleeper, your mattress protector can be a real saviour.</span></div><div><br /></div><h2><span style="color: #1a293c;">The different types of mattress protectors</span></h2><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">When choosing your new mattress cover, you will see that there is a wide variety of mattresses covers currently available. The mattress protector should not be confused with the mattress topper. A mattress topper is designed to be placed on the top of your mattress and add to the comfort that you experience.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">Some mattress covers are designed to just cover the top of the mattress, which is ideal if you are just wanting to protect your bed from the general ageing that all mattresses experience over time. You then get the mattress cover that is able to fully encase the mattress, preventing bed bugs from making their home within your mattress while also providing protection from use.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">Waterproof mattress covers are also available and these are great for hotel and hospital use as well as for the beds of children. These covers are made from materials that are easily washed and dried.</span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: #1a293c;">Whether your mattress is old or new, it is always a good time to invest in a mattress cover.

The answer to this question is not the same for everyone. Here are some things to consider when choosing the right bed for your child.</span></h2><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How Much Space Do You Have?<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none 0px;" /></span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">One major consideration is how much space is available for the new bed. A <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/single-beds/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 68, 68, 0) 50%, rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.25) 0px); background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 1em 2px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.15em; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">single bed’s dimensions</a> are 90 cm x 190 cm, and a double bed is 120 cm x 190 cm. Measure the bedroom and decide where other furniture will be placed to make sure you have enough room for the bed you are considering. You need to allow enough room to get around the bed easily, access other furniture, and still have a play area for your child.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How Much Can You Spend on the New Bed?</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">A double bed (including small double beds) is usually more expensive than a single bed. Additionally, if you are purchasing a bed to last more than a few years, you want one built solidly that will accommodate your child’s weight as he or she grows. With beds, as with everything else, you get what you pay for and a higher quality bed is going to be more expensive.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Which Bed Is Best for You and Your Child?</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If there are times when your child wants or needs company – when they are sick or scared – a double bed may be the best option. A big bed also makes a good space to read and play.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ask your child if they have a preference. Some children like a cosy sleeping arrangement, in which case a twin bed may be an ideal choice. Other children are active sleepers, tossing and turning during the night, and a double bed may be better if it suits your child’s sleep habits better than a twin bed.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 700; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Other Things to Consider:</span></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><u>Do you need extra storage space?</u></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If you want <a href="https://www.roomtogrow.co.uk/buying-guides/storage/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; background-image: linear-gradient(rgba(68, 68, 68, 0) 50%, rgba(68, 68, 68, 0.25) 0px); background-position: 0px 1.15em; background-repeat: repeat-x; background-size: 1em 2px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: black; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0.15em; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;">storage</a>, consider a bed with drawers underneath.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><u>Will your child have a friend sleeping over?</u></p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: none 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">If your child is over six, consider a bunk bed.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">If you love clean, neat spaces, minimalism could be the design you need for a truly relaxing bedroom. While some enjoy being surrounded by home comforts, others prefer keeping things clean and tidy for a clear and tidy mind. Our bedrooms are designed for relaxing and unwinding, for getting a good nights sleep and resetting for the next morning, so where better to try out a minimalist design? From limited colour palettes to keep things symmetrical, here are tips for creating a minimalist style.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Keep Furniture Simple</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">The furniture in your bedroom should be simple, both in style and in colour. IKEA-type furniture has been particularly popular for drawers and bedside cabinets for its clean lines and simple white or plain wooden designs, but any furniture that fits that description will work. Beds that are sleek and simple, such as wooden or metal platform beds, are ideal over more elaborate designs. The same goes for <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/headboards/">headboards</a> – simple <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/headboards/">wooden and upholstered headboards</a> work best in a minimalist style.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">For example, <strong>modern headboards</strong> from <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/headboards/">Bed King’s range</a> with a classic and simple style featuring clean lines and symmetric style are perfect for a minimalist bedroom. </p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-2.png"><img alt="" class="wp-image-467" height="329" src="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-2.png?w=576" width="400" /></a></figure></div>
<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Bare Walls</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">While a few bits of artwork or minimalist photographs can complement a space well, plenty of blank wall space will help you to keep things looking neat and fuss-free. This can work in your favour too, by giving more attention to the pieces that deserve it. That painting or artwork you need somewhere special to hang, or that set of photographs you want to make a focal piece out of can all add character to minimalism without sacrificing the neat and simple design.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Limited Colour Palette</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">For the most part, minimalist designs tend to focus on neutral tones such as whites, greys and blacks, however, the key is actually just to keep things simple and muted. Mid-tone shades are also ideal for minimalism, so if you have a favourite colour you want to implement throughout the space, keep it relatively subdued and it should fit in perfectly.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":469,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-3.png"><img alt="" class="wp-image-469" height="266" src="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-3.png?w=930" width="400" /></a></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Add Small Personal Touches</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">Blankets, photographs, rugs, cushions and other patterns can work well with minimalist designs and if organised properly, can even enhance the space. Your own personal touches, such as textured blankets, patterned rugs or even an abstract painting with a limited palette can fit perfectly. One large but well-chosen piece on the wall or a large rug with a pattern that’s not too busy can work well with the space.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:image {"id":471,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"media"} -->
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-4.png"><img alt="" class="wp-image-471" height="266" src="https://bedscapetown.files.wordpress.com/2021/06/minimalist-design-4.png?w=933" width="400" /></a></figure>
<!-- /wp:image -->
<!-- wp:heading -->
<h2 style="text-align: left;">Balance</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p style="text-align: left;">Minimalism, while often thought to be just about keeping things free of mess, actually relies on a balanced space too. Large furniture can work in larger rooms but should be avoided in smaller spaces, while small furniture might feel <em>too</em> small in a large space. If you can’t afford to buy more furniture for your room, think about how things could be moved around to create a symmetrical layout with better balance. Your eyes should move easily through and around the space and it should feel clean and calm.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Last, but certainly not least, minimalist bedrooms should be free of as much clutter as possible. We all have some clutter in our lives and some might be better at organising and tidying it away than others, but a minimalist bedroom relies on a clutter-free environment as much as possible. Store away as much clutter as you can, but don’t be afraid to display collections neatly where possible. Keep things simple and focus mostly on necessary furniture, and you’ll be well on your way to creating a minimalist space.</p>

The unique blend of industrial and homey styles makes for a low-maintenance and effortlessly stylish interior that screams class, sophistication and gives a unique nod to the mechanics of a home or industrial set up.

Bricks are unique in that they make a statement and yet keep things simple at the same time, offering that old warehouse-style without the effort of putting up wallpaper or painting things perfectly. If you aren’t willing to dedicate to stripping the walls back to brick, brick-imitation wallpaper is more common now than ever before and is readily available at a lot of DIY stores.</span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OrZkpIQC1QtxnhYoc5lNqAbVE9bMqrAH-nGI0Z2lHl1u4vns-1siSZOCedowMS1OkFrBnqYEFVngTkEpJqugIxINy0ZbaOsRMZB9pnD56NonzC8xHFwA_6zM_NxcFAf20OE_WW81_Gs/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="700" data-original-width="1050" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OrZkpIQC1QtxnhYoc5lNqAbVE9bMqrAH-nGI0Z2lHl1u4vns-1siSZOCedowMS1OkFrBnqYEFVngTkEpJqugIxINy0ZbaOsRMZB9pnD56NonzC8xHFwA_6zM_NxcFAf20OE_WW81_Gs/" width="320" /></a></div><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span id="docs-internal-guid-0069920b-7fff-146d-9a85-a5de9ace7316"><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><ul style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 22pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 3.3pt 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Steel</span></p></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.55455; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Steels and other metals offer that same warehouse-like as brick, with the added benefit of strength and the fact that metallic furniture is easy to get hold of. Exposed piping or beams, antique metal furniture and ‘rough’ looking accents can create an industrial look easily. Cogs, wires, wheels and other metallic accents add to the warehouse-style industrial decor, while also adding an interesting focal point for any room. A simple way to do this is to choose from the industrial-style </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/headboards/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">headboards</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> available and add the one that suits your space.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.55455; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFPpUKBJAJoG1aDPi28K8jtA50_yMzTLh25jetBO_oA_JQVv1XqwujU7DAIDmBaXi1p9-9AlCDh90jkmgftOMRodrXiQlDHGEH5k4hxLygYtHJ1m6aHFk79mIaXvLpaDzXF0cIUhUVjk/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="477" data-original-width="580" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJFPpUKBJAJoG1aDPi28K8jtA50_yMzTLh25jetBO_oA_JQVv1XqwujU7DAIDmBaXi1p9-9AlCDh90jkmgftOMRodrXiQlDHGEH5k4hxLygYtHJ1m6aHFk79mIaXvLpaDzXF0cIUhUVjk/" width="292" /></a></div><br /><b id="docs-internal-guid-ae373678-7fff-3a68-a998-ac44cd1a2cfc" style="font-weight: normal;"><br /></b></span><p></p><ul style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="background-color: transparent; color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; list-style-type: disc; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 22pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 3.3pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: pre;">Wood</span></p></li></ul><span style="font-family: arial;">Wooden furniture or accents can introduce a more natural touch to an otherwise heavily industrial look, which may help a bedroom or living room feel more comfortable to spend time in. The trick is to use authentic solid timbers, such as pine, oak and walnut, to introduce rich colours, even if they have a distressed finish to blend in with the overall decor. A smooth wooden finish can also help to bring about a more refined look to the room without compromising on the theme.<br /><br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-0069920b-7fff-146d-9a85-a5de9ace7316"><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Fabric</span></span></span></span></li></ul></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.55455; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Living spaces need fabrics, and the likes of faux-leather, hessian fabric, cotton and even hemp fabrics can all complement the industrial look. Unusual, reclaimed pieces fit in with the theme well, and offer you the comfort of softer furnishings and help to balance out harsher lines and surfaces and keep things feeling homely.<br /></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.55455; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 19.5pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Colour</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.55455; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></p><div><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Industrial colours have a reputation for being dark, dreary and dull, but you can certainly experiment with colour and create a more classy and far less dim colour scheme. Brighter and neon colours aren’t your best bet, but monochrome style with earthy tones and organic-style accents can create a more natural hint in an industrial-style space. You could even opt for earthy reds and subtle blue hints, as well as distressed whites if you’re looking to brighten things up.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFmtfKJjHwGoIOkaqyeWgWw1QhuPh7w1NVHZR7KA-JiIrQFFkdepY08Y31_tO9vt5db-joGU5OVfQF6Rp6y8RWYqYPWPWtK0heVeUsVF0yt-ZokcpXaKkF178KLjSGLRwyt_9HyYmaPVI/" style="background-color: transparent; color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><img alt="" data-original-height="701" data-original-width="1050" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFmtfKJjHwGoIOkaqyeWgWw1QhuPh7w1NVHZR7KA-JiIrQFFkdepY08Y31_tO9vt5db-joGU5OVfQF6Rp6y8RWYqYPWPWtK0heVeUsVF0yt-ZokcpXaKkF178KLjSGLRwyt_9HyYmaPVI/" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /></span></div><div style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5545454545454545; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 19.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Add Softer Touches</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5545454545454545; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">Plants and fabric accents are a great way to soften things up in more comfort-focused rooms like the living room and, of course, the bedroom. Soft cotton furnishings or distressed but functional cushions and furniture pieces can create somewhere to relax and unwind without disrupting the overall look. Stick to the same monochromatic or muted tones, or introduce slightly bolder colours for a more unique style that reflects your personality.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.5545454545454545; margin-bottom: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">For more information about </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/headboards/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline;">stunning bed headboards</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"> and which styles will fit in with an industrial decor - check out the selection at </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline;">Bed King</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span></p><br />.</span></div><div style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span></div><div style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;">.</span></div><div style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">.<br /></span><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Original article from https://www.justheadboards.co.uk/</span></span></p></span></div></span></div></span>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-37307907819784144922021-02-12T01:03:00.001-08:002021-02-12T01:03:39.806-08:00To Buy A Bunk Bed Or Not To Buy A Bunk Bed?<p> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pros and Cons of Buying a Bunk Bed</span></p><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN919DU1kBybr33CSdhw8AXrZKVwBGhgmR3xlDhDT5fD5Vc9ud7Uuc3j3tnzIw3KGY-kWeRPZwyoDJP-3FWZ_tnlK87sKB64GA9HA7uHmsaxOXrvHzb7PtS45lE-Ka5U5kUXc3zuxnxoM/s2048/marcus-loke-WQJvWU_HZFo-unsplash.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1367" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN919DU1kBybr33CSdhw8AXrZKVwBGhgmR3xlDhDT5fD5Vc9ud7Uuc3j3tnzIw3KGY-kWeRPZwyoDJP-3FWZ_tnlK87sKB64GA9HA7uHmsaxOXrvHzb7PtS45lE-Ka5U5kUXc3zuxnxoM/s320/marcus-loke-WQJvWU_HZFo-unsplash.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span id="docs-internal-guid-48ea2218-7fff-fd15-bcd3-4aa3dde40b1e"><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The advantages of buying a bunk bed:</span></h2><ol style="margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 0; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Two beds.

They could fall off the bottom or top bunk if they aren’t being careful enough. They can crack their head or body part on the wood or metal rails. If the bunks don’t have a ton of space between them, the bottom child could crack their head on the bottom of the top bunk. Also, will the slats or boards support your bouncing child enough so that the mattress doesn’t fall through? Will the bunk bed be stable enough?

This one is more important. You don't want your kids to outgrow these bunks in just a few years because their heads are touching the bottom of the top bunk (or because they are kicking the bottom of the top bunk). I think it would be very nice if an adult (mom or dad) could sit on the bottom bunk without stooping or hunching over and cracking their heads. Maybe this won’t be as important to you, but it is something to consider. At least a metre and above between the beds will be comfortable.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How high will the top bunk be in your space?

If your kids are still very young (under three), you will ideally need a ladder that comes out at an angle from the bunk bed or has stairs (with storage drawers in them) so they can climb up and down safely. Some bunks’ access to the top is only by climbing up on one of the ends (no real ladder). Will that affect where you have to place your bunk bed? Will the ladder or stairs take up too much space in the room? Is the ladder removable? Are the rungs of the ladder too far apart or the initial one too far off the ground? All important things to consider. Ladders ain't ideal, especially if kids use the toilet during the night or if they decided to climb down at any point while sleepy. Climbing up a ladder for smaller kids can be a challenge as well, while stairs cater safely for all age groups.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How high do the rails come? Is there only one rail above the mattress? Or two? Or three? Do the rails cover the entire front or back or ends? On both top and bottom or just one? You will definitely need high rails for your very young children to ensure it would be as safe as possible. Rolling over and falling should be a matter of concern.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How stable are the bunk beds? Whenever you go to look at bunk beds in the stores, you should be especially adamant about having to put the bed through a “shake test.” How much did the bunk bed rock? Part of the reasoning is that kids are hard on furniture. They will jump and bounce and yank and rock that bed, so the more it allows for that, the sooner the bed may “die” or fall apart or collapse. To gauge whether you thought a bed was fairly stable, you should look at how thick the corner pieces of the bed frame was as well as how it was assembled together and the materials used.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Aesthetics. Do you like how the bed looks? Is the wood sanded and polished nice and smooth? Or is the wood gritty feeling? Do the drawers (if applicable) slide nicely in and out? Do you like the colour of the wood or metal? Do you like how the bunks look when separated? If you like DIY projects then these may not be as important to you, but if you don’t want to have to worry about these things, it is important to consider.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Storage space. Does the bunk come with extra storage space? Is there room under the bottom bunk for things? Are there drawers in the staircase? Does the bunk come with a desk or shelves attached? If you are looking into a loft bed these things are probably much more important to you. But, remember the space you plan on putting the bunk bed or loft in. Will there be enough room around it to access the shelves or desk or drawers provided?</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: decimal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Cost.

Figure out what features are most important to you of the nine points I listed above. Safety of course should be a top concern, so the materials and construction of the bed should be among your top priorities. Do you feel more comfortable with a metal-framed bed? Or do you really prefer wood? Also, when thinking about cost, remember that you will still need to buy mattresses and sheets and perhaps even bunkie boards.

Mattresses are a major home investment, due largely to how long they need to last: the <a href="https://sleepfoundation.org/bedroom/touch.php">National Sleep Foundation</a> recommends replacing your mattress every 7 to ten years. Additionally, your mattress plays a role in the <a href="https://drommabed.com/a-better-mattress-for-better-sleep/">quality of sleep you get</a>, meaning what mattress you buy could have a major impact on your physical and emotional health. However, the mattress buying model is outdated. No one wants to spend their weekend in a brick and mortar mattress store, faced with an overwhelming amount of choices and pushy salespeople. Additionally, it’s difficult to determine the overnight sleep quality of a mattress simply by laying on it for five minutes. In fact, <a href="https://www.rti.org/sites/default/files/resources/rr-0016-1108-hogan.pdf">research shows</a> that it’s difficult to predict your optimal mattress from a typical showroom excursion. Not only is the experience time-consuming and tedious, but you’re paying inflated prices.<br /><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">What is a Bed in a Box?</span></h2><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Thankfully, the traditional mattress buying model is being updated.

Using state-of-the-art, automated compression technology, these mattresses are compressed for shipping into a size that is able to fit in a box small enough to be shipped via standard methods. Their unique foam structure then allows the compressed, rolled mattresses to bounce back and expand into their original shape once unboxed.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /><b>HOW ARE MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES PACKED?<br /></b>BedPillows.com memory foam mattresses are wrapped in protective plastic and then machine-compressed to make them as compact as possible. Once they’re flattened, they’re rolled and packed into an easy-to-manage box. Watch the video below to see how an entire memory foam mattress is compressed, rolled and packed to fit into a small box.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Unboxing a Bed in a Box</span></h2><span style="font-family: helvetica;">It takes only five minutes to unbox a <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattresses/mewer/bed-in-a-box/">mattress in a box</a> from Bed King once it arrives. Once received, you only have to take the mattress out of the box, carefully open the plastic cover and allow the mattress to expand.

Don’t be, our guide is here to talk you through the different types available, the pros and cons of each mattress and which you should go for.<br /><br />From open spring to memory and latex, there’s a variety of mattress choices, so if you’re not sure which one is right for you, read on to find out more.<br /><br />After all, it’s almost impossible to put a price on a good night’s sleep.<br /><br />Having said that, we know money doesn’t grow on trees, so we recommend checking out <b>Bed King</b>’s range - they offer <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattresses/">affordable mattress prices</a> at each price point.<br /><br />The general rule? Go for the most expensive one you can afford: you’ll be sleeping on it every night for many years to come after all.</span><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>1. Open Spring</b></span></h2><span style="font-size: medium;">This type is made up of one long piece of metal wire shaped into coils to produce lots of springs, which is why it’s also known as an open coil or continuous coil mattress.<br /><br />The more coils in the mattress, the firmer it will be.<br /><br />To provide structure around the edge of the mattress and help maintain its shape, a border rod is positioned around the outside.<br /><br />Of all the mattresses available, it’s the cheapest option and often the lightest, so it’s easy to move and turn.<br /><br />It offers a reasonable amount of support, so consider it if you like a softer bed, or for children’s bedrooms or guest beds.<br /><br /><b>Pros:</b> Cheap, lightweight.<br /><br /><b>Cons:</b> Fairly low level of support.<br /><br /><b>Best For:</b> Those on a budget and people who prefer a softer bed.<br /> <br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">2. Pocket Spring</span></h2><span style="font-size: medium;">More luxurious than open spring mattresses, this type is made from individual, small springs housed in their own pocket of fabric.<br /><br />Each spring moves independently, so weight is distributed more evenly and the level of support is higher; they’re a good option if you share a bed, as they cater for the weights of two different people.<br /><br />These are available in soft, medium and firm designs, so there’s more choice, and they’re breathable.<br /><br />Due to the number of springs and extra material surrounding each one, they are heavy and definitely require two people to turn them.<br /><br />Check what materials these mattresses are filled with, as those that contain certain materials can cause allergies to flare up.<br /><br /><b>Pros: </b>Higher level of support, breathable – ideal if you get hot in bed.<br /><br /><b>Cons:</b> Heavy and more expensive than open spring.<br /><br /><b>Best For:</b> Hot sleepers and those who share a bed.<br /> <br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">3. Memory Foam</span></h2><span style="font-size: medium;">A relatively new invention, these foam designs mould to the shape of your body to provide the best support of any mattress on the market.<br /><br />Once the foam has shaped to your body, they can give a feeling of reduced weight, which is ideal if you suffer from back or joint pain.<br /><br />Because they envelop your body, they can make you feel warm pretty quickly, so they’re not great if you get hot while sleeping.<br /><br />There will also be a cradling effect as your body depresses the foam, so moving about is more difficult.<br /><br />It’s probably best to avoid memory foam if you’re a front sleeper, as your face can feel a little stifled.<br /><br />If you have your heart set on a memory foam mattress but are worried about overheating, look for open-cell designs, which have more air pockets to disperse heat better.<br /><br />Similarly, gel memory foam mattresses are infused with gel to offer better cooling.<br /><br /><b>Pros:</b> Excellent support, relieves pressure on joints, offers a cocooning effect.<br /><br /><b>Cons:</b> Poor at regulating body temperature, can feel like you’re sinking, more difficult to move around.<br /><br /><b>Best For: </b>Cold sleepers who want lots of support.<br /> <br /></span><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: medium;">4. Latex</span></h2><span style="font-size: medium;">Filled with latex foam, this extremely breathable material is brilliant at regulating body temperature and is very durable.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">These mattresses are a great choice for those who suffer from allergies and prefer a firm surface on which to sleep.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">They can take a while to get used to, however, as they feel quite solid at first, and are quite heavy, making them difficult to turn or move unless you have an extra pair of hands.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">They’re the least common type of mattress, so you might find them more difficult to come by for a </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/mattresses/" style="font-size: large;">low price</a><span style="font-size: medium;">.</span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: large;">Pros:</b><span style="font-size: medium;"> Breathable, long-lasting, won’t trigger allergies.</span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: large;">Cons:</b><span style="font-size: medium;"> Heavy, very firm, can develop lumps and an uneven surface over time.</span><br /><br /><b style="font-size: large;">Best For: </b><span style="font-size: medium;">Those who get hot in bed but want a firm sleeping surface.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;">Original article from: https://www.thesun.co.uk/</span></div>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-25373152985170469292021-01-05T00:30:00.000-08:002021-01-05T00:30:20.343-08:00Choosing Mattresses for Kids<p> <span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer to the best mattress for kids, since sleeping preferences, body type, allergies, and acceptable </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">bed prices</span></a><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> vary so much in each family’s choices.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-e4d7323b-7fff-5ec6-1480-14e73a43c0ff"><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7333333333333332; margin-bottom: 19pt; margin-top: 19pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">With an array of options to choose from (and a ton of marketing lingo to wade through), it can be hard to find the perfect mattress for your child’s needs.</span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">How to shop</span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7333333333333332; margin-bottom: 19pt; margin-top: 19pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">During the mattress selection process, keep a few things at the front of your mind.</span></p><h3 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 15pt; margin-top: 26pt;"><span style="color: #434343; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What warranties mean</span></h3><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.7333333333333332; margin-bottom: 19pt; margin-top: 19pt;"><span style="color: #231f20; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">While most every mattress company offers some type of warranty, not all warranties are equal.

Ultimately it's a personal choice, but if you're looking for some insight on why people may choose to sleep with pets (or not), keep reading. </span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.284; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -4pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.284; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: -4pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 24pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The case against pets sleeping in your bed</span></h2><h3 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2923040000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></h3><h3 dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.2923040000000001; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 11pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 20pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dander and allergies</span></h3><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.7999999999999998; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 15pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you suffer from allergies, you might want to think twice about letting pets like dogs or cats sleep in the bed. </span><a href="https://www.kidzmedical.com/provider/kunjana-mavunda-md/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dr Kunjana Mavunda</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: "Proxima Nova", sans-serif; font-size: 15pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">, a pediatric pulmonologist, warns that pet dander can irritate allergies, especially when you sleep in the same bed. "Even if a person has no allergies to pet dander, if they choose to sleep with a pet, it will be prudent to get special protective mattress and pillow covers with zippers that completely cover the mattress and pillow," says Dr. Mavunda.

That’s because there are several types of mattresses and configurations and each one can affect sleeping comfort, sitting surface and space planning.<br /><br />Futons. The most basic of sleeper couches, <a href="http://www.houzz.com/photos/futons">a futon has a metal or wood frame</a> with a single mattress on top. When it’s folded up, the mattress creates both the back and seat of the couch. While pretty comfortable as a bed, a futon can leave something to be desired as a couch, since it has a firm and somewhat unforgiving seat.<br /><br />Daybeds. A daybed is a single twin mattress that sits in a frame to give it the look of a couch. Since the frame lacks the cushioning of a standard couch, this style is best for a room that’s not going to be used regularly for entertaining.<br /><br />Standard foldouts. This style is probably what comes to mind when you think of <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/sleeper-couches/">sleeper couches</a>. The mattress is supported by a thick, canvas-like fabric that’s secured by springs on the side. Foldout mattresses come in a few different options: all innerspring, all-foam or innerspring with an air topper — which seems to be the winner for comfort. These sleepers require more space since you need room to unfold the mattress.<br /><br />The foldout sleeper comes in a wide variety of styles. Comfort and quality vary widely depending on the manufacturer, so if this is going to be a daily-use couch, purchase the best you can afford. The couches lack the supportive springs found in a non-sleeper couch, so they do feel a little different when you sit on them. As for sleeping, the thin mattress means you may feel the support bars when you lie down.<br /><br />Pullout pop-ups. This style operates like a trundle: A bottom mattress pulls out from under the couch. You can use it as two twin beds or pop the lower mattress up to create a larger bed. You don’t need as much space to pull out the bed since it has you sleeping parallel to the back of the couch.<br /><br />Since it’s an actual mattress, the pullout pop-up style provides a comfortable sleeping surface. It’s also comfortable as a couch, as long as you like a more firm seating surface — you’re sitting on one of the innerspring mattresses. It can also be used in multiple configurations, such as a family-size chaise.<br /><br />Other things to consider. While comfort and style are important when choosing a sleeper couch, there are other things you should consider as well: how it will be used, how often it will be used for sleeping and what size room it will be in.<br /><br />How will it be used? Is this going to be a main couch in a living room or something used a lot less frequently in an office or guest room? If it’s going in the living room, you’ll want seating comfort to be a priority. Choosing a cushion with an innerspring core can help make up for the loss of the spring suspension.<br /><br />How much sleeping will it get? If the couch won’t be used for weeks at a time as a bed, then a standard foldout sleeper should be fine. For more regularly used sleepers, consider a pullout pop-up or an air-topped foldout mattress.<br /><br />How big is the room? You don’t want to have to move lots of furniture around whenever you want to transform the couch into a bed. Foldout sleepers take up the most space when converted to a bed. If you have a tight fit, go with a pullout pop-up.<br /><br />Sleeper couches are a great solution when you don’t have a designated guest room. While there’s usually some sacrifice on couch structure or sleeping comfort if you keep your priorities in mind while <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/sleeper-couches/">shopping</a> at <b>Bed King</b>, you’ll be able to get the best of both worlds.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Article sourced from: https://www.foxnews.com</span>BedsMattressJohannesburghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18244902495317205636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929090623300396111.post-2011245591412519742020-11-16T04:23:00.001-08:002020-11-16T04:23:15.862-08:00Top Mattress Shopping Tips<p> You spend a third of your life in bed, so you might as well be comfy!

<p>Do you ever wake up feeling like you didn't sleep at all? Is your back pain getting worse with every passing day?</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you have lower back pain, you're not alone. Back pain is the <a href="https://www.acatoday.org/Patients/Health-Wellness-Information/Back-Pain-Facts-and-Statistics"><strong>most common cause of disability</strong></a> and the leading cause of people calling in sick to work. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you're tired of taking expensive pain medication and you want to avoid surgery, you should know that your back pain might have a simple fix. Improving your condition could be as easy as buying a new queen bed. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In this article, we'll give you valuable mattress shopping tips. We'll also give you some tips on finding a mattress online. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>1. Get the Right Size</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The very first step in buying a new mattress is to figure out what size you really need. In general, <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/queen-size-beds/">you should get a queen</a> or king for two adults. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Otherwise, you're stuck sharing a small space. The average full-size mattress is only 135cm across.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you have two people on a full-size bed, each person will only have about 60cm of room to lay in. That's about the <a href="http://www.malibutimes.com/online_features/family_living/article_3121e01f-b768-5254-a5f3-4072ef7683b5.html">width of a crib mattress</a>! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>On the other hand, a king-size bed is 200cm across. That's like having two twin beds next to each other, giving each person room to stretch out while they sleep.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you're not sure which size to buy for your teenager, you should know that there is an option called twin XL (single extra length). It's longer than a regular twin by about 30cm. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You'll have to buy special sheets for that size bed, but it's a good bet for fast-growing teens. Lots of colleges have twin XL beds as well. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>2. Test Before You Buy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Typically, the next step to buying a mattress is to go to a mattress store and test out a few styles.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Not anymore, you can find the <a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/queen-size-beds/">best size bed</a> for your needs at <strong>Bed King</strong> - thanks to their innovative mattress recommendation technology!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you're concerned about germs in the mattress store, don't worry. Stores disinfect their beds regularly.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Just bring a towel or flat sheet and lay down on top of it instead of laying directly on the sample bed. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>3. Find the Perfect Firmness</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Wondering what to look for in a mattress? You want to find one that's big enough and that is priced fairly, but you also need to find the right degree of firmness. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> If you have low back pain or another chronic condition, talk to your doctor or physical therapist. You can also ask the mattress salesperson what they recommend. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Keep in mind that every mattress company has its own firmness scale. There is no universal measuring system, and one company's "firm" could be another's "medium."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Some mattresses have supportive inner springs, while others are made entirely of foam. Foam tends to retain warmth and moisture, so you might want to skip it if you tend to overheat. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Inner springs work well with firmer mattresses but can wear out with continued use. Memory foam, on the other hand, springs back after you get out of bed.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This is another good reason to test out mattresses before you buy them. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>4. Invest in a Good Foundation</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Once you've found a good mattress, it's time to consider the foundation. Your mattress store may give you a metal mattress frame for free, but you have other options. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you need storage, you might want to consider buying a captain's bed. These are wooden bed frames that have pull-out drawers on each side. It's the equivalent of having another dresser. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you like a sleeker, more modern look, you might like a simple wooden foundation. This type of platform is usually low to the ground, so skip it if you have trouble getting up in the morning. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Even if you do use the metal frame, you can make it more stable by adding a sheet of plywood. This extends the life of your mattress by spreading out your weight and stabilizing the frame. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Talk to your salesperson about the types of frames you can buy, and see if you can try a few before you make your decision. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>5. Review the Return Policy</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Before you buy a mattress, make sure that you have a look at the return policy. Whether you're buying online or in a store, make sure that you have at least a 30-day window to do returns. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Also, take your time and review the warranty that comes with your mattress. You may have to pay for a protection plan, and it may come with a list of requirements. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>For example, if you have a stain on your mattress it could void your warranty. You may have to buy a waterproof mattress cover to protect the mattress itself.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Surprisingly, removing that little tag that's attached to the mattress will also void your warranty.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> If you end up ordering online, make sure that the return policy covers damage from shipping. You don't want to get stuck with a damaged mattress that can't be returned. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>6. Maintain Your Investment</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Now that you know how to shop for a mattress, let's talk about how to maintain it. Many people don't know that they should rotate their mattresses every three months. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>If you have a memory foam bed or pillow top bed, don't flip it over but do rotate it regularly. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Kids love to jump on beds, but they don't realize that they're ruining the inner springs. For active kids, invest in a memory foam bed that will retain its shape. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>But skip the bunk beds. Studies show that most <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/06/080602075809.htm">bunk bed accidents</a> happen with kids under the age of 10. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>To extend the life of your beds, try not to perch on the edge of your mattress. If you're watching TV, try to sit back against the wall or headboard.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>You can even vacuum your mattress once in a while. If you keep a cover on it, you won't get much dirt, but it's always a good idea to disinfect your mattress every two months or so.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p> If you're sharing the bed with your spouse, you might want to switch sides once in a while. This will even out the wear and tear on your mattress. </p>

An ambient noise machine may drown out traffic and other sleep-disturbing sounds. If it’s not possible to completely darken your room, try installing dark-out curtains or wearing a sleep mask.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Blue light emitted by electronic devices and ambient light may delay or disrupt your sleep. It’s best to remove or limit cellphones and other sources of bright light from the bedroom at least 30 minutes before it’s time for you to fall asleep.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it. At about the same time each evening, listen to soothing music, read a book or take a warm bath or shower. Yoga moves that relax muscles and promote steady breathing can be helpful but avoid vigorous activity that accelerates your heart rate before bedtime.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Be conscious of factors that may affect the quality of your rest. If you have reflux or experience frequent back pain, your sleep may not be as restful. Consider upgrading your </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/king-size-beds/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">king size bed with an adjustable base</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> that allows you to change your sleep position with the simple push of a button. A slight elevation to your neck and head can allow for a more open airway and a quieter night of sleep. Adjustable bases like those from Mattress Firm offer a movable foundation for your mattress. Because of its adaptability, an adjustable base is suitable for sleepers with chronic pain or reflux, as well as the average sleeper looking for more comfort.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If your mattress shows signs of age, it may be the reason you have trouble falling asleep. There are several factors that determine the “shelf life” of your mattress, including quality and usage, so it’s important to evaluate your mattress regularly to make sure it’s still giving you the support you need for a good night’s sleep.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are unable to fall asleep after 20 minutes, try getting out of bed and doing something relaxing until you feel sleepy. Staying in bed and watching the clock increases your anxiety and can make it more difficult to drift off.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span></p></li><li dir="ltr" style="color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 12pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Remember that good daytime habits promote better quality sleep at night. You may be rewarded with a better night’s sleep by exercising daily, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet and reducing or eliminating nicotine. Avoid naps during the day if possible, but if one is required, limit it to 30 minutes or less and take it early in the afternoon. Get outside during the morning to enjoy the benefits of natural light, which is a strong regulator of the biological clock.</span></p></li></ul><p dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 12pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 12pt 0pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We’re of the opinion that mattress size also plays an important role in quality sleep and believe </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/king-size-beds/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">king size beds</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #535d60; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> are the best for getting restful sleep every night.

They should also observe whether the baby can finally remain secure and comfortable in a toddler bed. If you bought your child a toddler bed but the child refuses to sleep in it, do not force them to use it. Try convincing them after several weeks, even a month. In general, many toddlers, upon reaching 20 months of age usually settle down to using their toddler beds.</span></div></li></ol><div style="padding-left: 80px;"> </div><ol start="2"><li><div marginbottom="25" margintop="0" style="margin-bottom: 25px;"><b><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">What are the advantages of using a toddler bed?</span><span style="color: #ca0216;">Answer:</span></b><span style="color: #3a3a3a;"> Toddler beds are safer compared to regular-size beds—it’s lower and also includes guard rails. Toddler beds also provide children with the leeway to get on and off their beds any time they want, without the assistance of their parents.</span></div></li></ol><div style="padding-left: 80px;"> </div><ol start="3"><li><div marginbottom="25" margintop="0" style="margin-bottom: 25px;"><b><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">What factors should I consider when choosing a toddler bed?</span><span style="color: #ca0216;">Answer:</span></b><span style="color: #3a3a3a;"> First, you need to look for toddler beds with a lower bed height. The bed should be low enough so your kid can still sit on the bed edges, with their feet touching the floor. To prevent toddlers from rolling off of the bed, make sure the bed has guard rails throughout the sides and the back. Make sure that the bed has strong, durable legs or supports. The package must include clear, precise instructions on setting up the bed for extra safety. Choose the material which works well with your child—most toddler beds are made from wood and plastic materials. Plastic is lightweight and easy to care for while wooden ones are stronger and can tolerate more weight and usage.</span></div></li></ol><div marginbottom="25" margintop="0" style="margin-bottom: 25px;"><span style="color: #3a3a3a;"><span data-markholder="true"></span></span></div><div><span style="color: #3a3a3a;">Provide a nice area for your child to sleep in once they are of toddler age.

Of course, in the ideal dream scenario, there would be no countdown clock, and we’d have our own interior designer personal shopper in tow. Alas, we don’t all live in a dream world of an unlimited budget, time and space. But that’s where things get fun because working within limits helps us get more creative. If you’re wondering how to make the most of limited bedroom space and resources, here are some simple and practical small bedroom decorating ideas on a budget to get you thinking out the box. </span><br /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="277" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/792201623.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 783px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"><span style="font-size: large;">Tips to make a small space seem bigger<br /></span></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Making the most of a small space can begin with just a bit of careful thought and zero budget. If your bedroom is feeling cramped and crowded, start by taking a good look at how you’re using the space and what changes you can implement to make things feel more spacious. Here are a few tips that can really help make a smaller space feel bigger. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="314" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/694039733.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 788px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">1. Create clearly defined spaces<br /></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">If your </span><a href="https://www.cielo.co.za/beds/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">bed</span></a><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"> has unwittingly morphed into a lie-in wardrobe-come-work space, and your dressing table has expanded to a wall-to-wall feature, it’s time to redefine your spaces. For the sake of mental breathing room and a good night’s rest, protect your sleeping space from other intrusions and make sure your bedroom doesn’t have an identity complex.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="181" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/227918267.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 785px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"><strong>2. Go oversized<br /></strong></span><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">It may seem counter-intuitive, but bigger pieces of furniture and accessories can actually help create a sense of spaciousness, while smaller ornaments and accessories make a space feel busy. Less is more – but don’t be scared to go big!</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="315" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/455080434.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 786px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">3. Guide the eye<br /></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Space is in the eye of the beholder. If everything points to one central point in the room, it will feel like the walls are closing in. Leading the eye upwards and towards the room’s edges will help create a better sense of space. Face a chair towards the window, and position your dressing table or standing wardrobe towards the end of a wall to draw focus outwards. Hanging lamps and mounted wall lights are also a great way to pull focus upward. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="357" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/359511282_orig.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 100%; width: auto;" width="534" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"><strong>4. Use light & colour to expand the room</strong><br /></span><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Streamlining your colour scheme, and sticking to lighter, neutral colours will help to ‘open up’ the space. You can bring in your favourite colours and add some personality with well-chosen accessories. Use mirrors in prominent positions to add depth and dynamic. </span><br /><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"><br />Whatever the size of your bedroom, your </span><a href="https://www.cielo.co.za/beds/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">bed</span></a><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"> is going to play the lead role. But that doesn’t mean it has to steal centre stage. Tucking your bed into a corner (even if you need to leave a little room for a bedside table) frees up space and makes things feel cosier.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="266" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/305130456.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 804px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">At the same time, your </span><a href="https://www.cielo.co.za/beds/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">bed</span></a><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"> is the best place to make some creative changes if you want to upgrade the look of your bedroom but you’ve only got budget for one or two items. A headboard can make a big statement and take your bedroom from drab to fab without taking up a big chunk of your space or your budget. And if you really want to economise, you can do a paint-on version that you can easily update or replace with the real thing when you have the funds. </span><br /> <br /><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Smart storage solutions are a small bedroom’s best friend. There are tons of different innovations and nifty DIY options out there, so here are just a few concepts to get the cogs turning.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="209" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/229633066.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 840px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Hanging space <br /></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">If you don’t have built-in cupboards, you don’t have to sacrifice a huge corner of your room on a bulky wardrobe. Use more of the vertical space with a custom-made garment rail above a low chest of drawers. </span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="195" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/341355213.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 798px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Vertical storage<br /></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Again, it’s all about thinking up. Floating shelves are cheap and easy to install, and can be used for storing things you’d like in easy reach, or for other uses like a bookshelf, shoerack, nightstand or even a </span><a href="https://www.cielo.co.za/desks/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: black;">desk</span></a><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">. Also remember that the space above the bed doesn’t need to go to waste. Storage headboards are a popular space-saving option, and one with mounted lamps and easy access compartments can replace bedside pedestals altogether.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="184" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/489906861.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 859px; width: 736.4px;" width="590" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Storage beds<br /></span></strong><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">Make the bed the hero of the room in more ways than one. A storage bed is a stylish and clever way to keep clutter organised and save on space and budget. Even if the initial cost is a bit more, it usually works out cheaper than buying a bed, and desk or cupboard separately.</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><div class="wsite-image wsite-image-border-none " style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-top: 10px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><a style="color: #2a92e5;"><img alt="Picture" height="242" src="https://bodaciousbedrooms.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/0/9/130985016/609100480.jpg" style="border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-style: none; border-width: 0px !important; max-width: 696px; width: 696px;" width="557" /></a><div style="font-size: 14.4px;"></div></div></div><div class="paragraph" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento !important; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px auto 20px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #4a4a4a;">For kids’ rooms, in particular, </span><a href="https://www.bedking.co.za/beds/bunk-beds/" style="color: #2a92e5; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc;">bunk beds</span></a><span style="color: #4a4a4a;"> and kids beds with storage can help preserve parental sanity on multiple levels – literally.

It’s good to note that transportation costs (to and from the factory) are usually not covered in the case of repair or replacement. As well, a new warranty is normally not issued when the mattress is replaced.<br /></span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;"><font size="4">Mattress myth 7 – It’s against the law to remove the law tag on your mattress<br /></font></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Quattrocento; font-size: 16px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #333333;">The warning against removing the law tag of your new mattress tag can be intimidating.
