Single Mattress Sizes - The Queen Size Review

What size does a single mattress need to be? Well this really depends on you and the space you have, but in my opinion the most versatile mattress size is the queen size.

Please note, this review will not discuss the different types of mattress material and padding, today we are just going to address points relating to the size of the mattress. This review also assumes that individuals looking to use the bed are average size and weight, and do not require any special sleeping arrangements.

I believe the queen size mattress is the most versatile mattress size for a number of reasons.

Firstly, if you spend the majority of nights sleeping on your own, it provides a size of bed that gives you lots of space and comfort, whilst not taking up as much physical space as a king or emperor size mattress. However if you have the occasional visitor to stay that you share a bed with, the queen size mattress provides ample sleeping space for two people for the night.

If you live in a small house or apartment with your partner and space if fairly limited, a queen size mattress also provide an adequate sleeping space - not ideal, i personally prefer to go bigger as I like my own sleeping space however if is considerably better that using a standard double bed, without it being significantly bigger (only 6 inches in width).

The actually dimensions of a queen mattress size is 60×80 in (152x203 cm) in America, and 160×200 cm (63.0x78.7 in) in Europe.

Other mattress sizes include, the Double/Full XL (UK: double) at 54×80 in (137×203 cm) which is slightly smaller and the King size at 76×80 in (193×203 cm) which is the ext biggest size.

A Brief History of Bunk Beds

Although no one can actually verify its inception or debut, there's no denying the fact that bunk beds have been around for many years. Loft beds, futon bunk beds and standard bunk beds, in one form or another, have occupied the bedrooms and hearts of parents and children for generations on end. And with good reason too - because there is nothing quite like the fun and joy that comes with sleeping in a bunk with your best friend or favorite cousin and chatting the night away - when you very well know that you should be sleeping instead.

And while it's nearly impossible to trace where they actually came from, it seems that we can thank the ancient Egyptians for, at the very least, the idea and the concept of bunk beds. And even though there aren't any visual pieces of evidence to confirm this, it can be safely assumed that the loft beds of the ancient Egyptians looked drastically different to the modern and comfortable bunkers that we are familiar with and accustomed to today. Having said that, the fact of the matter is that bunk beds have definitely come a long way over the years.

Today's modern and funky bunk beds come in a whole myriad of designs, shapes, colors and materials. In the early days of the modern and popular bunk bed, you simply would have two boxy, similar shaped and sized bunk beds perched atop one another - a testament to function, if not form. However, if you fast forward through a few decades, today's commercially available bunks, which are commercially available are equal parts sleeping devices and equal parts works of art. Yes, bunk beds have evolved into not just something that you stick in a bedroom, but a focal point of the home.

There are bunk beds which are made from high-end wood materials such as maple or walnut bunk beds. For other people, they may want something a bit more powerful; hence they look towards purchasing a metallic or iron-based bunk bed. And in addition to the materials used to construct these beds, they are also infused with splashes of colors and personality. Cherry colored, bright white, dark blue, black, silver and other hues and tones are now readily available for people to purchase and place in their children's bedrooms. That is, without a shadow of a doubt, a far cry from the beds that the ancient Egyptians first came up with all those years ago.

Another advancement of bunk beds is the form that bunks today now can take. Yes, conventional twin above twin bunk beds are still available, but now, you can get twin above full bunk beds too. These are bunk beds that have a full-sized bed at the bottom, and a simple twin-bed sitting on top of it. Today's bunk beds now serve a much greater purpose than simply providing a location in which to sleep - now they serve as space savers and decorative home pieces too. However, no matter what style, form or shape bunk beds take - and will take in the future - there's still one aspect that will always remain - and that's the pure joy and fun that bunk beds can provide on a nightly basis.

No matter how bunk beds will look in the future, there's still something to calling the top bunk, then racing up the ladder and sitting up high in the sky (or, at least, it feels that way to a child). Now, nobody knows if the ancient Egyptians enjoyed racing up a ladder and calling the top bunk, but even if they didn't - they at least started something that has lasted just as long as all those pyramids they built.




Brad Chillsworth thinks that bunk beds are incredibly cool and neat and wants everyone - regardless of age - to experience the fun any joy that comes with sleeping in a bunk bed. And if you're looking to purchase a bunk bed for your children, Brad suggestions that you visit BunkBedsNow.com.

There, you'll find an amazing selection of stylish and great-looking bunk beds, solid oak bunk beds, twin over full bunk beds and more - all at low prices too!

Kids Bunk Beds - Are They Really Useful?

Kids bunk beds have become a common sight in modern day homes. With space being always an issue in today's households, if there is more than one kid in the house, then it becomes all the more difficult to accommodate them in separate rooms. Kids bunk beds act as great space savers and are also quite popular with kids of all ages. The very idea of being able to sleep together with one bed above the other, which has to be accessed by a ladder seems exciting to kids. Sleeping on a bunk bed seems like a fun activity.

Kids beds are available in variety of styles, designs, features, shapes as well as sizes. With so many choices it often becomes difficult for parents to choose the right one for their kids. The standard bunk bed usually comes in twin over twin size, while there are also full over full, loft bunk beds having empty space below with the bed being hoisted up and twin over futon which acts as a couch cum bed.

Though kids bunk beds are great in utility, the safety factor also has to be kept in mind while choosing one for your kids. To avoid a fall, the beds should have proper rail guards. Ideally there should be a railing on each side of the bed and the safety latch of the rail should also be strong enough so that it doesn't come off accidentally. The mattress should also be of moderate thickness so that the effectiveness of the guardrails is not lost. Kids beds may be made of wood or steel. Though steel beds are cheaper, the wooden ones are stronger, far more durable and last longer.

With most homes today having a shortage of space, kids bunk beds having two beds in the space of one are pretty useful. Bunk beds having drawers can also double up as storage units. Similarly, the free space under a loft bed can also be used to put a study table, drawers or a dresser, saving further space in the room. Bunk beds are great attractions for kids and also helps them bond better with each other. With the demand being huge, beds today come in a variety of designs and also special themes. Based on themes from popular movies or storybooks, bunk beds are great fun for kids. For younger children the beds also come designed with tents and slides which turn them into play areas.

Though kids beds may be a bit highly priced than the regular beds, they are definitely worth buying if you are low on space. Using the minimum space, they provide comfortable sleeping options to your kids and also helps them bond better.




As a writer, I make it a point to write articles about on various topic under the sun. I have written a number of write-ups then as the years passed, I have developed a preference on the things I write about. Right now I think it fun and enjoyable to write about Living Room Furniture. I am also sharing my write-ups about kids bedroom furniture to homeowners who are interested creating a fun and interesting room for their kids.

RV Mattress Covers - An Inexpensive Way to Protect Your Bedding

Tired of sleeping with road dust and animal hair when you camp in your RV or camper trailer? Do you miss your vacuum while you're on the road? Think of a futon cover as a bedding protector and you are on the road to a healthier night's sleep.

With one effort, you can both keep your bedding much cleaner and add color and style to your camper by sealing it inside a futon cover when you're not sleeping in it. Futon covers seal in a mattress and bedding (sheets and a blanket beneath) with a heavy-duty, three-sided zipper that zips closed by day. Futon covers are extremely easy to use. 

Or blend your new custom mattress into your existing RV/camper décor by buying a fashionable futon cover and zipping it closed over your sheets and bedding.

Futon Covers will secure your bed from blowing dust, dog hair, cookie crumbs, and a host of other undesirables. Futon covers have sturdy three-sided zippers with overlapping fabric to protect your skin from the feel of the zipper.

Whether you have a single mattress or two or three mattress sections that combine to form a double or queen-size bed, you can cover them with a single futon cover to protect everything underneath. If you leave your camper mattress extended, this is the trick that will protect your precious night's sleep! By keeping dirt, dust, and animal hair out of your bedding, you will limit your exposure to allergens that can destroy your ability to breathe and sleep comfortably.

Even if you have a custom-size mattress in your RV, futon covers are the answer. Futon covers can be made to fit virtually any size mattress. Start by selecting a futon cover that is close to the standard size twin, full, or queen and pay a small custom fee, usually $20-$30, to have the cover sized to fit your bed. Of course, this can be done in any home as well, but travelers often forget that they can purchase these futon cover "bedding protectors" for any size camper mattress. Remember to measure carefully; custom-sized covers may not be returned.

Leave all your blankets on your bed and zip them inside too! Just add an additional inch of loft (thickness) to your futon cover to accommodate heavier bedding. The cost for additional loft in the cover itself is typically only $10-$12 for the custom sizing.

Futon stores on the Internet offer futon covers in nearly a thousand colors, textures, weaves, and fabrics (even microfibers, faux-suedes, and faux leathers). Online retail stores have the ability to buy from many different futon cover manufacturers across the country, which means that you have a huge selection from which to choose. Change the cover and change the color scheme in an instant. Futon covers come in every fabric from sturdy twills to beautiful upholstery fabrics that will perk up Do yourself and your family a favor this summer -- keep bedding cleaner and enjoy a better night's sleep!

Different Types of Beds to Choose From

When it comes to custom cabinets, people usually go for a same theme for the overall room or even the house. A custom cabinet can be found in cabinet makers shops which can be part of the themed furniture. One can easily tell whether they want contemporary or traditional style of cabinets but when it comes to bed, it is pretty hard to tell which style will go with the theme. You can easily incorporate your chosen theme in almost every style of the bed but a correct choice can make it look like something solely made to match your theme.

The style of bed should also match your personal style and comfort level as well. There really are so many to choose from. Some of these styles are simple and can complement any furniture theme in your house, while some need to be customized for this. Let us take a look at the types of bed available in the market.

• Canopy bed: Canopy beds are very extravagant style of beds which are also called the four poster bed. These beds are more common in United Kingdom. These beds come in all sizes from king size to single. The name canopy comes from a suspended canopy which drapes down from the canopy frame above the four posts of the bed. The canopy frame is usually the same size and shape of the bed but the variations include a circular frame as well.

Futons: Futon beds are originally from Japan and were designed to focus on less space coverage. In the 80s, west was very inspired by the eastern culture and the Futon entered the western culture along with several variations. In Japan, the Futon used to be a thin mattress that can be easily rolled away to save the space. In West, futon incorporated a simple and light frame of wood or even iron.

• Platform Beds: if you are looking for something extremely simple yet stylish than Platform Beds are what you need. These beds usually look like a plain wooden platform with no footboard or headboard. These beds are normally much closer to the floor and not too high.

• Murphy Beds: Murphy beds were invented to cope up with serious space problems, especially in small apartments. These beds can easily be fold back into a wall or closet when no one requires sleeping in it. There are two types of Murphy beds; one that can be folded into a wall, second one can be folded into an attached closet.

Bunk Beds: another very practical and space saving style of bed is the bunk bed. Bunk beds are usually double and sometimes even triple story beds. Although, there are many safety issues regarding the height of the bunk beds, this style of bed is extremely popular as a children bed. Another variation of the bunk bed is the Loft bed. In loft bed the lower area is used for a purpose other than sleeping. For e.g. children's study desk.




Connor Sullivan and his wife recently asked an expert about custom cabinets for an addition they just built last spring. He and his wife ordered a custom cabinet for the family room.
