Bunk Beds Change, People Don't
I remember vividly the day my family moved from Cedar Rapids, Iowa to Chicago. I was all of ten years old and like any child would be, excited to see the city. My father had received a promotion at the bank he had worked at since well before I was born and we were now leaving the relative comfort of our home for an apartment on Michigan Avenue. Driving into the city was almost surreal, and although sullen over leaving my friends behind, I was enthralled with the possibility of great opportunities that lay ahead. All the wonder and amazement I was experiencing after having traveled through the concrete canyons of the Windy City was soon overshadowed by the news that my father decided to impart to me the moment we entered our new domicile.
I would be sharing a room with my younger brother.
I recall the feeling one might have if a death sentence were handed down to him over some petty offense. The fact that they wanted me, a sophisticated young lad who was sure than manhood was only weeks away (and had been for years), to share my personal space with this unworldly little snot-nosed brat was unbearable. Looking back, I now have a great appreciation for sharing a room with my brother and what I learned from the experience, but at the time, I would have preferred a root canal. Although we rarely got along, it didn't take long to get used to the situation. Still, I never got used to sleeping on our bunk bed.
Of course, we fought tooth and nail over who would get the top bunk. Once I established dominance, I was free to climb the small metal ladder to my throne on high and become master of all I surveyed in my miniature kingdom below. Unfortunately, my throne left much comfort to be desired, and I was told on more than one occasion that my brother wasn't too happy with his vassel's parcel either. Although the bed was new, it creaked and swayed with the slightest movement and had mattresses that I was certain were made of stone. I became resigned to life with my brother, but neither of us could reconcile with that awful bed.
To give you an idea of just how poorly constructed bunk beds were at that time, I left home (and the bunk bed) to join the military at eighteen and on my first night of basic training, felt that I was sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom at the White House.
It's now a lifetime later and I have two boys of my own. My wife and I recently had a new addition, and she has taken one of their rooms, leaving them with one to share. Recalling with no particular fondness my bed of the past, I set out to find a bunk bed that would at least allow the boys some comfort during sleep. I was pleasantly surprised to find a manufacturer who makes nice beds that actually sleep like a bed should.
When searching, I found beds that have storage, full sized mattresses and are solid and sturdy.
After careful consideration, I purchased a nice model and brought it home. The minute I had it set up, the age old struggle for top bunk began and I stood there with a grin on my face while my sons argued over who would be king of the hill. While that matter has been settled, they still don't always get along. They do, however, get a good nights sleep.
I'm glad bunk beds have changed, because boys haven't.

Round Cribs - Pros and Cons
For years, when you thought of a baby's crib, you thought of the rectangle mattress, the one that is about 52" x 28".
That might be about to change.
One of the newer items for the nursery is the round crib.
The mattress for this crib is a 42" round circle.
This has both advantages over the standard rectangle crib, as well as disadvantages.
Round cribs are unique and make a bold statement in the nursery.
Being a bit smaller, they take up less room and being round, and can easily fit into the middle of the room allowing for more use of wall space.
They also do not have any sharp corners to run into in the middle of the night.
Depending on the particular crib, it can allow more unfettered access to the child from anywhere in the room.
There are round cribs that have canopies on them, creating a definite front and back, and others that are similar to a standard rectangle crib with no canopy. ...

Top Ten Reasons to Buy a Natural Latex Mattress
1. Latex mattresses are a natural, biodegradable renewable resource:Beginning on plantations in Malaysia and Indonesia, latex is sap milked from rubber trees in a manner not unlike collecting maple syrup. Local workers harvest the liquid latex and prepare it to be processed.
The liquid latex is then shipped in drums to locations in Europe and the United States where it is manufactured into mattress cores and toppers, as well as pillows. Unlike Talalay processed latex foams, natural latex has no added petroleum or other chemical additives making it a truly all natural material.
Being a 100% renewable resource, as well as biodegradable, natural latex does not have the taxing effect on the environment as other conventional bedding material. 2. In bedding, natural latex provides support where it is needed most by contouring to the body's natural nuances: It relieves pressure points, particularly at the shoulders and hips, and it allows for better circulation with less tossing...

A Guide To Air Beds
People hear the words "air beds" and instantly think of those rather uncomfortable plastic mattresses that are often used on camping trips.
But air beds are so much more than that!
In the most common of terms, an air bed is a mattress that contains air bladder chambers, filled with air to provide support, rather than the coil string systems that are traditionally found in mattresses.
Did you know that air beds were originally created for use in hospital and medical environments, as they provide a higher level of support and reduce pressure points on the body?
There are several reasons why people select air beds over conventional mattresses.
Chiropractors claim that air beds are good for people with back and back support problems.
For couples, dual adjustable air support chambers provide each partner with just the right amount of back support and firmness on one side of the bed without disturbing the other partner's sleep.
