But while that is a good solution, make sure you are aware of avoiding having babies and kids sleeping on them. They have some health hazards you should watch out and if you are not careful, you may end up experiencing tragedies rather than sweet sleep for the holidays.

“The danger arises when they are used for babies and infants aged under the recommended age, and in particular babies and infants less than 12 months old,” he said.

“It is important that an infant’s face must not come in direct contact with the mattress or side of a bed.”

Gaps between the side of a bed and the mattress can also entrap a child’s head.

“When very young children are in a dangerous position they may not have the strength to reposition themselves as an older child would. This can cause suffocation, whether the contacting surface is made of plastic or fabric.”

Ok here we go again. A new round of recalls has been announced due to some safety issues but this time around they are not from China. Rather, thanks to the incidents that have been reported on one occasion or another, it can be seen that these stuff which include hammock stands, toasters, chest drawers and boilers have caused injury to consumers who have bought them.

• Hammock stands. About 30,000 wooden hammock stands, manufactured in China and imported by Pottery Barn, because the stand can deteriorate over time when used outdoors. This poses a risk of falls and cuts. The company has received 12 reports of injuries. The stands were sold through the Pottery Barn catalog and Web site between March 2003 and July 2008.

• Toasters. About 210,000 General Electric toasters, manufactured in China and imported by Wal-Mart Stores, because they can short-circuit and pose a fire or shock hazard. The toasters were sold at Wal-Mart Stores around the country between September 2007 and July 2008.

• Chest of drawers. About 5,000 KVIBY chests, manufactured in Denmark by Ikea Home Furnishings, because the glass knobs on the drawers can break, posing a risk of cuts. The company received three reports of cuts in the United States that required medical attention. The chests were sold at Ikea stores around the country between August 2007 and July 2008.

• Boilers. About 4,600 Vitodens 200 boilers, manufactured in Canada by Viessmann Manufacturing, because the gas can leak. This poses a fire hazard. The boilers were sold by plumbing and heating contractors around the country between January 2002 and December 2007.

If you think you bought any of these during the said dates, check out your receipts and the brand. Do not allow yourself to be the next victim.

Earlier this year, there were posts regarding the new implementation of setting up beds in planes, particularly for first class accommodation. This time around, there are plans for the architecture of a Boeing 747 that will be transformed into a Jumbo Hostel. But unlike other aircrafts that have added bed accommodations, this new concept by Oscar Dios will be mainly served on the ground.

The concept is indeed something different. We all know that cases such as delays in flight make it uncomfortable for some passengers and with this Jumbo Hostel around perhaps waiting will no longer be a problem but more of a luxury for them from hereon.

Dios bought the 500-seater jumbo jet, built in 1976, from its last owner Transjet after the air operator went bust in 2002.

The Jumbo Hostel, which will remain grounded at the airport, will begin taking reservations from travellers in December.

If the venture proves successful in Sweden, Dios hopes to open more jumbo jet hostels elsewhere.

Boeing 747 Transformed to Jumbo Hostel

Balancing the attention that most home owners provide for their home may need to be done as usually they would focus on the various internal places of the home where they commonly visit. But other than the bedroom or the living room, the outer parts of your home need to be livened up as well.

The patio is a good place to hang out and while many are fine with putting chairs and tables there, you can really expand the possibilities if you try it out. The patio can be a great place to stay and perhaps even comfortable at that and a little touch of design can really change this entirely.

And there are people who specialize in such patio furniture at that. Paine’s patio can help spice up that forgotten patio and add more splendor to your home.

Paine’s Patio includes two showrooms adding up to about 9,000 square feet, plus a 4,000-sq.-ft. outdoor deck. In addition to a full line of outdoor furniture, the store also devotes about 2,000 square feet year-round to indoor upholstery and dining furniture, all with a definite cottage feel for life on the Cape.

Don’t Forget to Decorate your Patio

As far as living outside your homes like cabins or rest houses, there should be little difference in the style of living if you think about it. What is important is that you get the comfortable atmosphere you are looking for at homes.

Apparently, some people find it hard to furnish a home away from home. Cabins or other pads you may stay in for a short-period of time can still be enjoyed in the right manner. You just have to think straight on how to make it work.

Stuff such as sofa beds, couches or hammocks can make their way into any dorm or cabin. You just have to find the one especially if you don’t have the luxury of space at your side.

I like this concept of where you go, your chair follows! This foldable cardboard stool can carry a person who is up to 90 kg (that’s roughly 180 lbs)and provides respite from those dirty public benches! According to the manufacturer no glues and chemicals are used to set up the stool.

This is a great way to carry a portable chair with you everywhere as it doesn’t weight that much and also saves the environment over portable steel chairs and whatnot.  What a great idea, I want one.

Foldable Cardboard Stool

While most of us are busy figuring out what bed to get for ourselves, people in some parts of the world are lucky enough to have a good place to sleep. A lot of this points to the people who are less fortunate, having to look for a good place to rest which often times is the concrete floors of public places.

Many of us fail to see it since we are too occupied going home and enjoying our own beds. Just bear in mind, while you are complaining of worn out beds or mattresses, people out there would be more than willing to trade places you to get quality sleep.
