It’s not that easy to purchase a mattress nowadays given the overwhelming amount of different materials and options available on the market. The difficulty doesn’t actually lie in the diversity of mattress types but more in the fact that most of us have no idea what all the components in them actually do.

That’s why we thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone in search of a mattress of these simple tips:

1 – Look online before shopping
There is plenty of valuable information online about mattress types, standard measurements and buyer’s guides. Look at these resources and you will learn more about mattresses than any high street mattress salesperson can possibly know.

2 – Know what you need
If you have a health condition or suffer from backache and other physical pains you might need a mattress with a specific amount of support and comfort. Check out all the options available and understand what all the components of the mattress do so you can make the best choice for you with peace of mind.

3 – Double check dimensions
This sounds simple but you would be surprised how often people make mistakes. A little reminder: when buying your bed and mattress separately and from different manufacturers (which isn’t ideal but isn’t something you should worry about) double check the measurements and keep in mind that a king size mattress bought in the UK will fit a king size bed frame bought in the UK but not a king size from the US or Europe.

4 – Think larger
This is mainly for your own comfort but is more important if you share a bed for both your and your partner’s comfort. Considering that the most common bedroom complaint is partners rolling over onto your side, getting a larger bed size will both be good for your sleep and therefore your relationship.

5 – You get what you pay for
The more options you choose the more expensive your bed will be but also the better the quality. A good practice is to determine in advance the budget that you are willing to spend on a mattress, choose the most appropriate options for you regarding your preferences and health condition and then accessorise the mattress with a topper, a cover, pillows and any other complementary items that will help you to have a perfect night’s sleep. 

Regarding the space you have, the age of your little one and storage restrictions you have to deal with, there are a variety of bed designs that are appropriate for both kids’ bedrooms and small spaces. Below is a complete list of the most popular kids beds, take a look around and find the option that will make both you and your children happy.

Bunk beds have always been a great choice when it comes to furnishing a kid’s room and for good reason as they feature many advantages.  A standard bunk bed is generally designed with two twin beds sitting atop one another but there are actually many more types of bunk beds you could choose from depending on your needs, such as loft beds and cabin beds just to name a few.

Standard bunk bed
Also called twin-over-twin beds, this classic two-person bunk bed is probably the best space saving option if you have children with close ages sharing a room together. This design makes use of the height rather than the width making two kids sleeping in one area possible and leaving the rest of the room to play with.

Twin over full
This is a variation of the standard bunk bed but it features a twin bed on top of a larger, usually double, bed. This option is appropriate when two children are far apart in their ages as it gives each child the bed size that meets their needs and ages.

Full over full
This type of bunk bed is perfect for larger bedrooms and easily provides years of comfort for the kids as they grow.

Loft bed
The loft version of a bunk bed is a perfect way to optimise space in a small bedroom. It features a bed above either a desk or a seating area. The extra space is well appreciated by young kids and parents can either leave the space free to create a bigger playing area in the room or furnish it with a desk for older kids to do their homework.

Cabin bed
Cabin beds are also great for limited spaces and small bedrooms since this type of bed is designed with shelves and/or drawers in the middle base for extra storage. They are more appropriate for younger kids as they are less high than a standard bunk bed or a loft bed.

Futon bed
This includes a twin size bunk bed above a futon sofa. The futon sofa can be used as a guest bed when friends stay the night and it is possible to accommodate up to three kids with one high-sleeper and two mid-sleepers. Hopefully you now have a better idea of the different options for children’s beds. If in doubt, feel free to call or visit www.wedo-beds.co.uk for further advice.

Kids spend a lot of time in their bedroom but it isn’t necessarily time devoted to sleeping. When your back is turned it can be any number of things you might disapprove of, from fighting with their siblings, jumping on the bed or drawing on the walls. For this reason there are three golden rules to follow when kitting out your kid’s room.

Safe: Kids beds come in different shapes and styles so whether you prefer a bunk bed, a cabin bed or a traditional single bed for your kid you should ensure that it is safe to get into and get out of. High sleepers and bunk beds are more appropriate for kids over 4 years old as climbing the ladder to the top bed can result in injury.

Sturdy: Since we know that kids can be a bit unruly sometimes, always choose a sturdy bed made from metal, or hardwood with a solid base to guard against all incidents. Jumping on the bed is never recommended but we all know there’s only so much you can do to stop them!

Space savvy: The great thing about bedroom furniture for kids is that most manufacturers design space-saving products with in-built storage solutions such as shelves, drawers and under-bed drawers. This provides a lot of space for your child to tidy away their toys and games after play time.

Parents should get their kids involved in choosing their beds; this will make the process more fun and will also make bedtime easier by encouraging them to sleep in a bed they have chosen themselves.

Kid’s beds are generally fairly cheap and available in a variety of different shapes. If you would like to make a statement in your child’s bedroom there are also a lot of themed beds on the market that would fit a child’s particular interest.

Home owners and decorators alike know just how much style a window treatment can lend to a home’s decor. With this in mind, many are now opting for the modern and sophisticated style of Roman blinds. Like the name implies, Roman blinds have been around for centuries. Their popularity continues to grow, namely because of all the wonderful benefits Roman blinds have to offer when compared to traditional window treatments.

Roman blinds are available in a variety of materials, each one lending its own element of style and purpose to any home. Roman blinds come in vinyl, plastic, fabric, and even bamboo. All varieties of Roman blinds can be raised and lowered vertically, either manually or remotely. With an unlimited range of colours and textures, any room in any home can be magically transformed with the addition of Roman blinds.

There are two main types of Roman blinds. These are louvered blinds and single-panelled blinds. Louvered blinds are reminiscent of the traditional blinds in many homes. There are multiple horizontal slats that can be opened or closed by turning a rod, and they can be raised and lowered vertically with a pull cord or remote control. When raised, the slats “stack” on top of one another in order to customize the amount of light entering the room. Single-panelled Roman blinds are one all one piece and are generally made from fabric. Either option has the capability to transform a room or an entire home, yet remains versatile and functional enough to become anyone’s window treatment of choice.

Style is an important factor in choosing a window treatment. Fabric Roman shades come in a range of contemporary styles, colours, and patterns. Plastic and vinyl versions come in any colour imaginable, while bamboo shades lend a style all their own to any home. Any Roman shade can be custom made from nearly any material in any colour, and they can be fitted to any size and style window. Because there are so many choices, there are Roman shades for any budget. Manually operated Roman blinds are generally less expensive than their remote-operated counterparts. Bamboo tends to be more expensive because of the materials themselves, and because of the difference in the way they are manufactured.

Roman blinds are available in just about every home furnishing store. There are also internet websites that specialise in window treatments, and even a few that only deal with Roman blinds. This may be a great option for the highest levels of customization, but after shipping costs, may be more expensive than purchasing pre-packaged styles and sizes of blinds.

Roman blinds are definitely one of the most stylish options available for window treatments today. They are affordable and practical, and are very easy to install and clean. Virtually infinite numbers of patters, colours, and shapes provide the highest level of customization in any home. Changing the decor of any home can either begin or end with the selection of window treatments, and Roman blinds are always a wonderful choice.
