One of the most popular trends in mattresses these days is visco elastic foam otherwise referred to as memory foam. Memory foam was first developed for use in the space program during the nineteen seventies though the product was never used in manned space flight missions.

I can remember buying my first hard sided waterbed in the early nineteen seventies. The bed was a simple affair with a wood frame, mattress, safety liner and a piece of foam. There was no riser or pedestal, no headboard, no padded rails and the pinewood frame rails were not finished.

There is one telltale sign that the existing heater is not working since the bed is simply not staying warm. Now before you run out and buy a new heater, there some common sense troubleshooting that should be done first.

The trend in recent years has been toward soft-sided waterbeds otherwise known as hybrid waterbeds. The thick padding and foam frame construction of these hybrids had largely done away with the need for an electric heating system.

The infamous little tag on your mattress, bedding and other upholstered furniture has been the butt of jokes for decades. For years, many people actually believed that they would be breaking the law if the tag were removed.

A bed frame with drawers is most often referred to as a captains bed. The origin of the term no doubt comes from the need for storage space in the tight confines of life on board ship.

So you have slept on a waterbed for many years and now you or your sleeping partner has decided to make a change. The decision to change quite often involves switching to a traditional innerspring mattress, replacing a worn bladder type mattress with a new one, or upgrading to a hybrid waterbed mattress.

To many of us, the task of assembling hard sided water may seem a little daunting. Framing, heaters, mattresses and chemicals seem like more work than it is worth, but the result is a great sleeping environment that is well worth the effort.

The traditional hard sided or framed waterbed is more popular than ever. Once thought to be passe, hard sided waterbeds have maintained a loyal following among those folks who appreciate the style and function of a properly designed waterbed ensemble.

Trundle beds have long been used as convenient and space efficient way to add extra sleeping space. When combined with a daybed, a trundle can provide an extra bed that can be stored away until it is needed without taking up the extra space needed for a conventional bed.
