Aero began in 1992. The method of inflating and deflating mattresses that Aero used was so new that it had only been patented shortly before the company’s inception. Designers and engineers at Aero incorporated this advanced technique and it has been a hallmark of their product line ever since. They’ve gotten so good at it, current Aero air mattresses can be filled in less than a minute and drained in 15 seconds.

The Aero Aerobed Premier Intelliwarmth is one of Aero’s flagship inflatables and sports a flat panel profile pump. Basically, the pump is in the mattress, you just plug it in. No wonder that when tested together, consumers found Aero air mattresses easier to set up than the Simmons product.

The Intelliwarmth model employs a washable mattress cover than contains what they call “heating fibers”. These fibers are controlled by a handheld remote (wired). You can adjust the temperature to offset a varied degree of chill. The remote and heating system works fine and received no complaints from consumers.

The Intelliwarmth, offered in twin, full and queen sizes, is made from 18 guage PVC. In short, it’s pretty durable, unless you stab it with a fork. However, one consumer did complain that their mattress only lasted a few days and began developing holes and seam tears, which the buyer was hopelessly unable to patch. This said, numbers show that Aero’s default rate runs at less than 5% and yes, while it possible to come across a lemon, the product line in general lives up to the Aero’s fairly strict guidelines.

If you’re concerned about all this ’strength’ making the Intelliwarmth hard as a brick, the Aerobed mattresses were preferred for comfort by a sizable number of consumers in testing lead by independent researchers.

The Intelliwarmth is a luxury mattress and with prices ranging from $200 to $300. Not in the price range of some buyers. Again there are cheaper options that will serve almost as well. If you’re in the mood for a bargain, you may want to go online. www.sparebed.com is well-liked by its customers for its ease of ordering, reasonable prices and timely shipment.

Last year I renovated and managed to create a spare bedroom. The room itself isn’t that large so I needed to find a single bed that could be turned into a double when I go from ‘guest’ to ‘guests’.

I finally bought the Kyoto Quebec Guest Bed. I was initially attracted to Kyoto Fusion Ltd, because they make hardwood bed frames from sustainable resources.

With some further investigation, I discovered that Kyoto’s hardwood bed frames were not only environmentally friendly, but they also had a great wear life.

Once I took delivery, I was impressed yet again with Kyoto’s attention to design. I’ve had guest beds in the past, but they looked cheap, didn’t last and sagged in all the wrong spots. The Quebec Guest Bed is not only beautiful, but incredibly sturdy. (as demonstrated by my two young nephews)

My bed fits neatly against the wall and with very little effort, I can slide out the ‘extra’ single, release the spring-loaded legs and have a double bed in minutes. I’ve had my guest bed for almost a year and it’s still as easy to set up as it was the first day I got it. Of course, I’m not worried too much about mechanical failure as I got a five-year warranty with the bed. (my nephews will have grown out of their destructive phase by then)

One drawback however, is expense. I had to save for months before I had the near £800 price tag on Kyoto’s Quebec Guest Bed. Admittedly, part of this cost was for a latex mattress set, but I have allergies and latex keeps me from sneezing. I still feel the dent in my pocket book, but in ten years, when my nephews are putting their kids to sleep in the bed that they themselves couldn’t break, I’ll know that my investment in my Kyoto Quebec Guest Bed was wise.

If you’re in the UK and online, you should visit www.sleepingsolutions.co.uk. I found their service to be prompt and courteous. They were especially helpful in directing me to the product that suited me best. Sleepingsolutions carry a wide variety of beds, bedding and accessories from a number of reputable manufacturers.

Are bed bugs biting you at night? Though it’s hard to see them, bed bugs leave evidence behind – if there are mysterious brownish spots and stains on your bed sheets or you wake up to itchy bites on your body, you might be dealing with some irksome pests.

However, there are some basic steps to getting rid of bed bugs.
Bed bugs get their names because they are practically nocturnal, and during the daytime, they like to chill out in the tiny crevices of your bed.

They can live for months to years without feeding, so if you’re facing an infestation of bed bugs, they won’t leave unless you make them. But how can you shoo those obnoxious bed bugs away?

The first step is to create a barrier around your bed. Bed bugs don’t fly or jump, they can only crawl. Keep them from crawling on and off your bed as best you can. What can you create this barrier with?

You will need the pros at Diactect for that. They have a variety of bed bug killing products to choose from, products you can apply right on your bed frame and mattress!

For instance, RESULTS powder can treat your bed and room and, in fact, any part of your house; it’s a perfect barrier between you and those tiny critters.

Without high quality help, it’s virtually impossible to prevent bed bugs from taking over your home, so rather than track them down with a flashlight, scare them away with Diatect’s pest control products.

Now that you’ve found the perfect mattress, it’s time to explore the intangible quality that makes your bedtime sojourn a treat – style.

Visual appeal adds to the pleasure of nodding off, so what is it that pleases you? Dutch Modern, Victorian, Art Nouveau, Post Modern or Rustic bedding?

Examination of what your bedroom already offers as an artistic base and a little research of what’s available will give you a style to start from. Once you’ve established your nocturnal theme, it’s time to shop around. Many designer linens can be found online. If price is a consideration, which it usually is, you may want to explore discount designer linen outlets for products within your budget – many offer free delivery, which makes shopping easy.

Once you’ve satisfied your bedding needs, you may find that your sleeping space needs some adjustment. Moving around your furniture and/or adding appropriate bedroom decor does wonders for improving your slumber. Feng Shui is a term that has been used and abused to describe the arrangement of objects to optimize energy flow. Now this may seem a little metaphysical to be practical, but trust me, when you are laying awake for the fifth night in a row for no other reason that you can’t seem to shut off, Feng Shui may be your hidden answer.

Now, Feng Shui is a method that can be applied to most style choices, so have no fear that it may damage your creative vision, unless you are a clutter addict who loves the feeling of being spatially trapped.

Sleep is important and the quality of it is dependant on your ability to relax. If you manage to create a pleasant world of dreams, your daytime endeavors will benefit from a clear mind and rested body.
