7:00 PM Mary N. Thorn No comments

There is a lot of hype about memory foam these days. Exaggerations from it being a miracle cure to the odors being toxic. One thing is certain. Memory foam beds are here to stay. Who benefits the most from these beds? population like me who used to wake up in the morning with lower back pain, the kind of back pain that was caused by sleeping on a bad mattress.

Only a small fraction of the population suffers from this kind of lower back pain. I know the cause of my back pain was due to a bad bed. I worked in an office environment and did no heavy lifting or any action that was damaging to my back. I only experienced back pain when I woke up in the morning. Year after year the pain in the morning got worse until one day I could barely get out of bed.

I wanted to try one of these space-age beds to see if it would help but the price was outrageous to me. I wondered why should they cost thousands of dollars. After all, it was just a piece of foam. I simply refused to spend thousands of dollars just to see if maybe they would help. With the Internet at my fingertips I did a diminutive study and found out I could make my own and save thousands of dollars.

This space-age foam has been colse to for a while now and there are many reputable clubs manufacturing and selling memory foam at wholesale prices to the public. But, you will have to educate yourself a diminutive to ensure you buy the right kind of memory foam.

A high capability mattress will consist of four layers. The first bottom layer will be a firm base of approved foam at a minimum of four inches thick. Next is a simple egg crate layer, also of approved foam, to provide some air ventilation. The third layer is memory foam, typically 3 inches thick with a density of at least 5 pounds per cubic foot. On top this you may want someone else layer of memory foam, for example a 2 inch thick layer with a density of about 3 - 4 pounds per cubic foot. This fourth layer is elective as some population will prefer only the 3 inch 5 pound foam layer on top. This is dependent on personal preference. For the final step you must have a solid platform frame for a memory foam bed to function properly.

When my diminutive foam bed task was done I spent a total of about 0 for the memory foam mattress and platform frame. A similar bed at a retail store could categorically have cost over ,000.

Bedroom Make Over - From Boring to Exotic

8:34 AM Mary N. Thorn No comments

Just like in movies and in ads, exotic bedrooms are portrayed with crisp white sheets and flowing white drapes that hanging from a dream-like canopy bed. For some, this may seem amusing and a bit over done. However, why not make that scene spicy and fun? Exotic does mean unusual and different and that is exactly what a bedroom can be if dressed up right, especially if using leopard duvet cover. Many women who are in serious, long-term relationships, may want to spice things up in the bedroom on a ornamental scale. However, they might not know how to get it done. It is easier than some may think.

There are many different ways to create an exotic-looking bedroom. One of the trends that has stood the test of time is using animal print. When redecorating bedrooms, it should be inescapable that starting with the bed is essential. The most popular animal print build used today is leopard. A beautiful leopard duvet cover on a bed would do the trick. Although this type of duvet cover may come in many different colors, the one that is most popular is pale, creme-yellow, featuring a dark rosettes leopard print. Adding dark, solid, small pillows like dark brown, black, or gold will make the bed look more inviting.

The walls in the bedroom should be light. A light brown or golden brown paint would be best. When it comes to window treatments, it is not critical to go with leopard. Using solid colors like black or brown will work as well. If the bedroom is dark, use light drapes to brighten things up a bit. In addition, plants go great with this type of bedding. Just remember less is more. Do not go overboard with plants as it is important to make it seem like your bedroom is a jungle. Use the plants to accent the patterns in the room. Finally, place a mirror over the head board with some gold accessories and the bedroom is now converted to one that unique and different.

Where Canopy Beds Came From

Canopy beds originated in medieval times when castles draped heavy curtains over the beds to keep out drafts and reserve warmth in the winter then substituted them with light, thin netted canopies in the spring and summer to keep out bugs and other pests. Seen this way, a kids canopy bed doesn't seem so girlie at all.

The rich later adopted the practice of sleeping under canopies plainly because canopy beds had by then taken on the mystique of being linked with wealth, no matter they now had central heating, air conditioning, and screen windows to take care of all the practical concerns that canopies resolved.

Boys canopy beds, then, provide one way for you to help make your son feel like the richest little boy on the block.

Fabric is Only One Option

Many people, when they think of kids canopy beds, think of billowy fabric, sheen and frilly, but that's by far the only kind of canopy there is. The canopies in kids beds can be built of wood or wrought iron too.

Creative Boys Canopy Bed Ideas

To help jump-start your creativity, here are some ways that canopies can be incorporated into some of the more beloved boys theme bed ideas:
A tree house theme bed could have a wooden slat platform for a lower canopy, creating a multi-use "cave" or sorts embedded in the tree's trunk, and a jungle foliage canopy branching out over the upper level adding to the forest ambiance. A racecar bed could have a sheet metal canopy as the roof of the car (it can even be made convertible) or it can form the ceiling of the garage where the race car bed is parked. Alternatively, use a canvas canopy and give your little boys race car theme bed its own indoor/outdoor carport. A seafaring vessel like a sailboat, a pirate ship, an ocean liner, an aircraft carrier, or a tanker could have a canopy of sorts as its sail or mast. Make your little boy feel like a pioneer with a wild west theme boys bedroom that incorporates a canopy into a practice covered wagon theme bed that's on an important frontier expedition. A jungle safari theme bed could have a netting canopy to emulate the mosquito netting needed in the buggy tropical rainforest environment.

Canopy Beds:

- A Canopy bed is essentially the same as a Four-poster bed, but with a draped covering. It is a beloved choice due to its elegant and warm feeling, accentuated by linens and drapes overbearing the top of the bed.

Platform Beds:

- Platform beds are very simple in form, utilizing simple lines and are ordinarily simple, rectangular bed frames, close to the ground. They commonly use a modern or modern design. Since the bed is commonly not as high as a standard bed, using a platform bed as the focal point will make the room appear larger and more spacious.
Panel Beds:

- Panel beds have headboards and footboards that are ordinarily all of one piece, without spindles or slats, and are right up and down, so that they can stand flat against the wall.
