Make Your Guest Bedroom a Comfortable Retreat

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

Thinking about how to make your guest room more comfortable for your overnight guests? A few simple additions can provide a pleasurable stay.

Naturally, you have a bed in the room, but upgrading your mattress can make a big difference in the comfort you offer your guests. Get rid of that old hand-me-down mattress and choose a new mattress that you wouldn’t mind sleeping on yourself.

Think of things you enjoy having access to when you stay in a hotel room. Make sure you provide extra blankets, fresh towels and wash cloths; travel soap, shampoo and lotion provide an extra nice welcoming touch. Be sure your guest room has an alarm clock, night light, and wastebasket so your guest won’t have to ask for these items.

These are just a few simple touches to add a welcoming ambiance to make your guest feel more comfortable in your home.

It’s Your First Home; Make It Your Own

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

You went with a realtor to look at seemingly hundreds of homes and found the house you can call home. You negotiated a fair price with the seller and they even threw in the BBQ grill. You negotiated, renegotiated, and renegotiated again with the mortgage company to get the best interest rate possible. The day finally arrived when you signed the closing documents and you became a proud homeowner. Now what?

Chances are when you move into a new home, you may have some extra space and rooms for which you don’t have any furniture. Your new house is a blank canvas waiting for you to make it your own, a place that really feels like home.

Bedrooms are more than just a place to get a good night’s sleep; they’re also slumber sanctuaries that ideally should be designed to encourage rest, relaxation and tranquility.

Take special care to make your bedroom a special place in which you can truly relax. You can start by selecting a design theme. The theme is very important because furniture and accessories will revolve around it.

When it comes to remodeling, the focus is usually on kitchens and bathrooms. But the bedroom is also an important room to consider when remodeling a home, especially if you’re remodeling to improve the quality of your home life.

Your bedroom is an important room of the home that serves a purpose beyond sleeping. Ideally, it should be the one place in the home that is a haven for relaxing and unwinding from stress.

Turn your bedroom into a comfortable refuge by following these simple steps:

Pick a color. Bedroom paint should be different than any other room. The goal isn’t to accent a wall, but provide a peaceful, relaxing environment. Select paint colors accordingly.

Select furniture. Wood is always a classic, with oak bedroom furniture and pine bedroom furniture popular choices that have stood the test of time.

Decide on accessories. What kind of window treatments will you add? What about art and other decor?

How to Choose a New Mattress

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

A better mattress equals a better night’s sleep. Unfortunately, many families don’t pay enough attention to their mattresses and the quality is often lacking. If you’re ready to turn things around, you may be surprised at how much things have changed since you last purchased a mattress.

Before you make your final decision, there are some important points to consider. Buying a high quality mattress is a long-term investment. Once your choice is made, you want to be happy about it so you can enjoy the reward of a great night’s sleep. Since research shows that we spend one-third of our lives in bed, it’s about time to make the most of it and spend this time in comfort.

Consider These Important Points before You Make Your Final Decision:

What are your specific needs in a new mattress?

There’s really no other way to know how a mattress feels other than testing it out. When you go shopping for a mattress, be ready to spend some time to see how each mattress feels to you. Try lying down on the mattress in the main position you sleep, but also try it in other positions – don’t be shy about it. You’ll never know unless you give it a try. You can’t look at a mattress and decide it feels right for you.

Keep a Notebook Handy
When you start shopping for a new mattress, you’ll soon discover that things have changed since your last purchase if it’s been a while. So keep a notebook handy to make notes about what you like and don’t like about each mattress you consider. This makes it so much easier to compare and make a better choice in the end.

You should also make sure you have measured the amount of space you have to work with – many of today’s mattresses are much thicker than you may realize and this can make a huge difference in how it fits on your bed frame. Most importantly, be sure you’re making the choice that seems right to you.

Choose the primary features you need and stick to your decision.
Only you understand what will help you rest better based on your personal needs. After all, you know what you like and don’t like about your current mattress, so be sure you’re looking for primary features that will enhance your situation and offer a better night’s rest. Consider these four (4) main points as you begin your search for the right mattress:

Back Sleepers

Some people require a firmer mattress for health reasons, and some people just prefer a firm mattress. However, there are many degrees of firmness and you should be the one to decide how firm you want your mattress to be. If you sleep on your back or your stomach most of the time, a firm mattress is probably the best choice for you. But don’t choose a firm mattress just because you think you should; do it only if that is truly your preference.

Side Sleepers
If you’re one of the many people who’d rather sleep on your side, then you can safely choose a softer mattress. Once again, test out each one and make your own comparisons to choose the degree of softness. Be sure that your shoulder and hip can sink comfortably into your mattress while allowing your spine to stay straight.

Pillow Tops
In the marketplace today, a third of the mattresses are pillow tops – these are incredibly popular and comfortable, but again there are degrees of softness and thickness in each style. So give them a try to see if the pillow top is the best choice for you. And remember that the extra thickness makes a difference in how it will fit on your bed frame.

Happy Medium
It’s a very common situation for partners to prefer different styles of mattresses. If you and your partner are not able to agree on what works for both of you in a regular mattress, there are options such as separate controls for each side of the bed. There are many options to help you resolve this issue – much more than in the past.

A New Bed Frame Might Be in Order
If you find the perfect mattress, but you realize it’s too high for your bed frame, there are many options that aren’t too expensive. You can choose a low profile frame that you can add a headboard to later, or you may be able to substitute a low profile frame with the head board you currently have.

Since many of the mattresses you’ll find today are up to 18 inches thick, there may be a possibility that you’ll need to change your frame, so keep that in mind while you’re shopping. Comfort getting into and out of your bed is as important as choosing a comfortable mattress. Another great feature is the lower height of your bed can make your room look larger.

Once you determine what your needs and preferences are in a new mattress, you’ll be glad you’ve made the decision to make your sleeping hours more enjoyable. It’s worth the investment and it’s worth the time it takes to make a careful, well-informed decision. Sleep well!
