We all know that bed bugs are increasingly becoming irritating as far as getting good sleep on our beds. While we may have a lot of alternatives in handling them, an eco-friendly way to exterminate them and finally get that much longed for sleep is within reach.

K4 products has produced an eco-friendly solution in the form of the EcoBugFree which is non-toxic and leaves no trace of harmful pesticide residue when you may decide to lay on bed. This way, you worry less about your kids who may be affected by standard chemicals used to rid bed bugs. With the EcoBugFree, you are safe and helping to create a better environment.

“Efficacy studies have been done on traditional bed bug treatments and we are learning that the old methods of eradicating the pests are becoming less effective. The bugs are more difficult to kill now because they have become immune to the use of neurotoxin. Since you’re going to need multiple applications to rid yourself of these nasty pests, most people would prefer to use a less-toxic method like EcoBugFree.”

Some may call the new manner of designing nurseries as taking out the fantasy-riddled setting but it is also about applying practicality with style. Traditionally we see the usual cartoon-riddled design rooms but parents today go as far as looking forward such as redecoration once their little tykes start to come off age.

We can see modern enhancements that you may call a flexible and general design for a common room. Considering that the usual kid’s room today are chic and trendy, the need to redecorate or renovate for kids who are on their way to their teens saves a lot in cost.

These days, it is best to save money on unnecessary cost. If you can come up with great designs suitable for kids and teens, they why not?

“The room designs are more in the line of shabby chic,” said Bayer. “The pieces you choose do not have to match; they have to coordinate.”

Denim touches are a big trend for little boys’ rooms, along with charming (quietnoise) ceiling fans and sleigh cribs that turn into junior beds, Bayer said. In the girls’ rooms, you see chandeliers and pink-and-brown striped bedding accented with yellow.

The HERMELIN is a crib from IKEA US. Retailing for $129, the crib is available in an electric shade of blue and it also ships with a conversion kit. The bed base can be placed at two different heights and bed side can be removed when the child is able to climb in/out of the bed.

I am sure every child will love the Fantasy Platform Bed from Haba. This whimsical bed is made of birch plywood and is finished with completely non-toxic lacquers. The fabric decals are made of a cotton/polyester fabric and you can purchase it from here.

Bean bags are desired by people who want more comfort than the usual bulky furniture in their homes. Similar to pillows for some, the flexibility of their use anywhere in homes these days is apparent especially for people who want to find a suitable position that they find comfortable.

Bean bags are made from various materials but are mostly non reactive to the human body. Further, they are easy to clean. With a vacuum cleaner to do most of the cleaning, bean bags are known not to gather much dust due to their fabrics. Some even use outer covering to make sure that they don’t get dirty easily.

Besides, some bean bags use covers that can be washed at times. But overall, they are convenient especially if you are particular about the position you are lying in, whether it is on the bed or by the floor.

Another crib has been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and this time around it is the Davenport Cribs that is imported by Appleseed cribs that is in the news.

Apparently there is a fall hazard and knowing how our little tykes can become unruly at times, the risk of injury is pretty much apparent. So if you have one of these cribs, stop using it. Avoid any untoward injuries for your baby. There are about 500 of these cribs sold.

The cribs fail to meet the federal safety standards for cribs. The cribs have a two mattress support system. The secondary mattress support, used for the lowest position, does not meet the full 26 inch minimum height in its lowest position, allowing children inside to crawl over the railing, posing a fall hazard.
