Does Size Really Matter?

Recently, I overheard a discussion in a bed store while I was doing some research. There was a young couple, early twenties, who were shopping for a new bed when the young lady asked “Will this [king size bed] fit in our room?” The young man stated “Sure, our room is 11’x12’, it should fit really easy.” I walked over and introduced myself to the young couple, and offered to help them pick a bed. I learned that they were moving in together for the first time and were renting an apartment. The apartment was an economy 1 bedroom unit on the third floor. I took a few minutes with the couple to talk to them about the importance of the size of MORE » »

Simple Platform Beds

A bed is something more than just furniture to sleep on. If this were the case, a mattress on the floor would be a bed. A bed is really a statement, a comfort, and art all at the same time. Personally, I am a minimalist. I like platform beds, and the simpler the bed, the better. My logic is that the less I have to coordinate my furniture, the more options I will have when I add new furniture to my bedroom. This is a perfect example of minimal yet functional furniture.

Memory Foam Mattresses – Good or Bad?

Since about 2004, when I bought my current memory foam bed, I’ve been sold on the benefits of memory foam. There is truly no other feeling in the world which is close to sleeping on memory foam. Memory foam is like sleeping on silk sheets, unless you’ve done it, you can’t possibly understand why people rave about it. My bed is a pure foam bed, meaning no springs or framework of any kind, just layers of foam bonded together to create the mattress. I believe this is the best format, but memory foam on top of a spring base or adjustable air chamber can be good too. The bottom line is that if you have the option to use memory foam, I recommend that you do it. MORE » »
