Contemporary Bedroom Furniture: Planning A Bed
by: Joel Walsh
Don't let your bed be an afterthought. Your bed will be the most prominent object in your room, so it has to go with your bedroom's theme, color-wise, size-wise, and style-wise. A huge bed in a small room will likely look out of place, as would a four-post bed in a room with sleek modern furnishings.
Bed Sizes
The most popular bed sizes are king, queen, twin and the increasingly popular California king. A California king is narrow and long, rather than the traditional king bed's square shape. Just make sure you have the exact dimensions of your bed before you go mattress shopping, since bed manufacturers sometimes don't follow the standard bed sizes exactly.
Bed Styles
Don?t confuse bed sizes with bed styles. Bed styles refer to the headboard and footboard. The basis of any bed is still the mattress and frame, which only vary outwardly in terms of the sizes listed above.
? Daybed. Daybeds are twin beds. What makes them special is that they can double as couches if you position them against a wall. Being compact and versatile, daybeds are great for small spaces.
? Platform. Platform beds are elegantly simple, fitting in with just about any style of decor.
? Sleigh bed. Sleigh beds have curved headboards and foot boards that look like, well?a sleigh. There are simpler and more modern sleigh bed designs, so you can get one even if you are going for a more modern-looking room.
? Four post bed. You know this bed already: it's the one with a post sticking up out of each corner. The posts can support a canopy, but the canopy is optional.
? Pencil post bed. Pencil post beds are like four-post beds, only the posts are tall and tapered like?well, pencils. Harking back to their heyday in the 1700s, pencil-post beds fit a room with colonial furnishings especially well.

by: Neil Teasdale
If you're one of the "still" surprisingly many that just
can't get the sleep thing right, keep reading! How many
times a week do you wake up where you can't figure out if
you're getting up or going to bed or you wake up with a
headache, numb leg or that stiff neck that goes right to
the shoulder blade and you can't look left or right, what's
that about? After struggling through a tough day, no way do
you have anything left for family play time in the evening.
There's a time proven, simple method to regain back and
enjoy your full days, but most of us definitely take it for
granted, SLEEP! "I'll sleep when I sleep." If we all could
shift this mindset to, "I need and enjoy my sleep," That
would be a huge step in the right direction. As we age,

Who Uses Tanning Beds?
Who Uses Tanning Beds?
by: Grace Palce
When tanning beds first hit the markets, the sole purpose of this technology, to provide indoor tanning, is simply cosmetic in nature. Obtaining a gorgeous dark olive skin seemed trivial and the tanning bed is less grand compared to other technological inventions. Thus, the primary users of tanning beds are young women who only wanted a tan to show off to their friends.
Further studies, however, showed that tanning beds are not only useful for darkening the skin. The ultraviolet radiation emitted by the tanning bed lamps has been found to enforce vitamin D production in the human skin in the same way that the direct exposure to sun?s rays can. Vitamin D is a major substance needed to strengthen the bones and to prevent diseases. Thus, it can be said that the responsible use of tanning beds can contribute to the overall health of a person.
With these studies, the profile of tanning bed users begins to...

by: Michael Johnson
An air mattress is no longer just a cheap blow-up bed for camping, but a luxurious and comfortable bed that can compete with the old box spring or foam mattress beds for quality and comfort. Air mattresses can be adjusted to your ideal firmness or softness, unlike beds of old.
According to the dictionary an air mattress is an inflatable mattress, usually made of some type of plastic material. After reading this definition it doesn't make you want to rush out and purchase one. After all, who wants to sleep on a cold piece of plastic? But the air mattresses of today are so much more than a large rectangular plastic balloon. They even offers options not available to box spring or foam mattress owners.
A cheap air mattress can be deflated and rolled up and is ideal for camping trips. They can also be very handy to have around the house as a temporary place to sleep for extended family...
