Suitable Mattress for Beds:

After selecting the suitable and comfortable bed it’s a hardest task to buy a mattress for that, there are multiple types of mattresses.

Kapok filling mattresses


Kapok filling mattresses are ideal for persons who prefer to sleep on hard mattresses. But a mattress of this kind tends to get lumpy soon and some people tend to develop allergies to dust and mites in kapok.

Coconut fiber mattresses





Coconut fiber or coir is another option that can be considered. Sponge mattresses are soft and comfortable. Rubber or foam rubber mattresses can make you sweat in hot summers. The more the coils the better, and consequently the more costly. But the fact is, most mattresses with more coils use thinner wires--so there. Don't be fooled! Again, don't let this coil count confuse you; apply the litmus test at once.

Spring mattresses


Spring mattresses filed with either sponge, polyester and kapok filled with latex can
provide you many years of comfort when used with good quality springs.

Types of Beds


The first most important item of the bedroom is bed, it’s the focus of the bedroom, when some one enters into someone's bedroom, and the first thing that catches our attention is, undoubtedly, the bed.



The decoration of the bedroom depends on the type of bed it color design setting right size and type of the bed that fits perfectly into place and many more.
The right bed can change all the décor of your bedroom and can also enhance the beauty and appearance of the bedroom and also the desired level of comfort and coziness. Today I m giving some information on the various types of bed.

Iron bed

Iron beds are available in many design styles from modern to traditional. Most iron beds have the option of being used just the headboard or the headboard and footboard.


Traditional Iron Beds which are antique iron bed reproductions of classic designs used for many decades. Traditional iron beds will never go out of style.

Bunk bed

A bunk bed is a type of bed in which one bed frame is stacked on top of another. The nature of bunk beds allows two people to sleep in the same room while maximizing available floor space. Bunk beds are normally supported by four poles or pillars, one at each corner of the bed.



To get to the second bunk a ladder is used, though taller children often find other faster, more creative methods of climbing into them. The most common type is the standard bunk bed which has two same size mattresses stacked one directly over the other.

Canopy bed

A canopy bed is a decorative bed somewhat similar to a four poster bed.


A typical canopy bed usually features posts at each of the four corners extending four feet high or more above the mattress. Ornate or decorative fabric is often draped across the upper space between the posts and a solid swath of cloth may create a ceiling, or canopy directly over the bed.

Sofa bed

The latest style in the world of furniture has come in the form of the modern sofa bed which can be converted into a bed.

Putting a quality sofa bed can change any room into a nice bedroom. A sofa bed can also known by any name - sleeper, sleeper sofas, sleep sofa, is one of the most versatile and hard working pieces of furniture.

Water bed

The beauty of a bedroom can also enhanced by using waterbeds .Waterbeds primarily consist of two types, hard-sided beds and soft-sided beds.
A hard-sided waterbed consists of a water-containing mattress inside a rectangular frame of wood resting on a plywood deck that sits on a platform.



A soft-sided waterbed consists of a water-containing mattress inside of a rectangular frame of sturdy foam, zippered inside of a fabric casing, which sits on a platform. The effect is to look like a conventional bed and is designed to fit into existing bedroom furniture. The platform usually looks like a conventional foundation or box spring, and sits atop a much-stronger-than-normal metal frame.

Not only would this show that you trust their opinions, but this would also help them in unleashing their creativity and imagination.

Decoration the room with colors


The first option is to choose a certain color that you can use in your bedroom. If you love a certain color, you can use it in different shades and the colors that complement it. For instance, if you love pink, then you can use shades of dark pink, light pink, fuchsia and white. Most young adults would love to pick bold colors and bright ones. Vivid colors signify youth and vibrancy. You should allow them to choose the color that they prefer and then you can buy accessories that compliment the colors.

Theme Bedroom Decoration

In my previous post I gave my views about the decoration theme of a bedroom of girls and boys.

In almost every case, the child is being over stimulated by the bedroom decor, there is a direct correlation between the epidemic of hyperactivity in our children and the way their bedrooms are decorated.

Kids can't relax in a bedroom overflowing with toys and accentuated bright primary color. We need to tuck our children into the tranquil embrace of a cozy, serene bedroom that encourages them to calm down and get the rest they need.


When choosing colors for a child's bedroom, use warm pastels or rich colors such as lavender, peach, butter cream, and cocoa.

Change art and decorative themes that are flying, falling, driving, or running around the room to a motif that is tranquil and calm. Serenity is the keynote here, when you calm the bedroom down, you'll calm your child down, too.


Children's bedrooms can easily become overcrowded with toys, games, equipment, and collections. Every item that speaks of activity contributes to keeping the room "awake".


Display a selection of comfort toys, such as stuffed animals and dolls, and store their action-orientated toys out of sight in trunks, closets and cabinets.

Rustic Cabin


Most every child loves spending time at camp or in the mountains. And what parent doesn't have happy childhood memories of hiking, boating, fishing, or just enjoying the outdoors. Birdhouses, bears, moose, and fish might show up in wallpaper borders, in fabrics, bedding, and accessories. For a rustic room you might also choose comfy plaid patterns, flannel fabrics, and log or pine beds. Accessories might use forest themes of animals, mountain scenes, or natural materials such as pine cones, leaves, and sticks. Take another cue from camp and use a sturdy trunk to store toys. With a room this nice, who needs a vacation?

Safari


For a safari look, find wonderful, colorful animal wallpaper borders and fabrics at any wallpaper store. Paint the walls blue, tan, ivory, or any of the colors in your wallpaper border. Make pillows and valances from coordinating leopard-print fabrics, and find some stuffed lions and tigers for the corner. Mount a butterfly net, binoculars, or straw hat on the walls.

Safe Baby Bedding

Parents should remove any quilts, stuffed animals, comforters, and other soft bedding items from your baby's crib. The cause behind this is, taht the parents should keep in mind that the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) advises that "babies have been found dead on their stomachs with their faces, noses, and mouths covered by soft bedding, such as pillows, quilts, comforters and sheepskins."




When shopping for baby cribs, outfitting your nursery, and buying baby bedding, keep in mind that no pillows, quilts, comforters and sheepskins should be brought .



Instead of using these types of baby bedding, the CPSC recommends that you use "a sleeper or other sleep clothing as an alternative to blankets, with no other covering." This can include a sleep sack or wearable sleep blanket or footed sleeper.

If you do use a blanket in your baby's crib, the CPSC recommends that you put your baby's "feet at the foot of the crib. Tuck a thin blanket around the crib mattress, reaching only as far as the baby's chest," making sure that the blanket doesn't cover your baby's head.

Baby Cribs

Most parents can get away with keeping their newborn in a bassinet for the first few weeks of life; eventually however, all parents will have to invest in some type of baby crib to ensure their newborns safety during the early years.

The number of different crib types available can often be overwhelming. There is sleigh, convertible, mini, wooden and rocking cribs to name a few. Some of the most popular baby cribs are those that convert into a toddler bed.

Other types of convertible baby cribs allow the crib to be attached next to the parents bedside for co-sleeping arrangements. This style of crib is often a popular choice among attachment parenting supporters, who believe that baby is better off sleeping with mom and dad for the first few months of life.


Some of the newest version baby cribs have the capability of rocking your newborn to sleep. This can be an exceptional plus when trying to get a colicky baby to sleep. Keep in mind however, when considering this style of crib that eventually baby will outgrow the rocking crib and have to move to an ordinary bed. The transition might be a little disconcerting at first. Babies develop habits early on, and a baby who learns how to fall asleep with rocking will likely require some type of soothing mechanism in order to fall asleep in the years to come.No matter the type of baby crib you decide on, there are certain important safety factors you should take into consideration before purchasing. These include the following:

One should never buy a "used" crib unless you are certain that it is in quality shape and has all the parts. If you are missing a part, you might be able to order spare parts from the manufacturer. NEVER, EVER try to force a crib so that it works without the spare parts. Your babies life can be in danger. Many an infant has been critically injured or suffocated because of a collapsed crib. Most manufacturers and organizations recommend purchase of a new crib to ensure the safety of your newborn infant.

Make sure that all slats are placed no more than 2 3/8 inches apart. Ensure that the mattress fits snugly into the crib, so that there is no more than a two finger width space differential between the edge of the mattress and the side of the crib
Corner posts should be no higher than 1/16 of an inch to prevent entanglement or suffocation. Screws and bolts should all be secure.

Small Bedroom Decoration

Tips for small bedroom decoration that they can look bigger and beautiful:

Many times you are having a small bed room and you want to decorate the bedroom, and you want that the small room look bigger. On the other hand Small rooms can be extremely efficient because it is easy to design furniture in them that will help a human being efficiently to perform specific actions.
I am suggesting some useful tips that will help you to making a small bedroom look bigger.

Bright colored paint should be used in the room so that the natural light which enters the room get reflected in all direction so that room looks bigger. Use wallpaper with horizontal pattern. This will create an illusion of horizontal expansion.

The furniture in your room at angles. Of course this is not always possible. But small pieces of furniture can be arranged in that fashion. This is done to distract the visual lines away from the walls. Use furniture with slim frames. This is a very obvious solution. Furniture with slim frames has less perceived volume and because of this the room looks bigger.

Use a bed is the one with low height. The normal height of any bed is around 1foot 6 inches approximately. But a platform bed is only 1 foot high fro the ground level. This makes its volume and the room looks bigger.
