Marsha Fottler from the Herald Tribune has written an extremely informative article on pillow cases and how they are a breeding ground for dust mites and allergens. She advices to wash pillow cases regularly and also recommends HotMedics DreamShield Ultra pillow collection which made of 300-thread-count cotton and filled with microfiber.  You can check out the full article here and here are some tips from the writer:

– Avoid wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedroom, and fabric drapes, too.

– Keep upholstered furniture to a minimum in the bedroom.

– Vacuum regularly. Wear a mask and after the room is vacuumed, stay out of it for a half an hour.

– Replace wool, down or feather bedding with synthetics.

– Replace your bed pillows every couple years.

– Invest in allergen-impermeable covers for the mattress and bed pillows.

– Use a pillow protector under the pillowcase.

One of the most underrated pieces of bedroom furniture in our home is the headboard. When you enter into a bedroom for the first time, the headboard grabs your attention and the rest of the bedroom seems to radiate out from that central point. A headboard says a lot about your choice of style, your priorities in decorating and your overall décor choices. Many people choose understated or small headboards only to find that they simply feel out of place once they have been unveiled. A larger and more dramatic headboard can make any bedroom appear fit for a king or simply a good night’s sleep for you and your partner.

The Blair headboard is exactly that kind of headboard. Finished in a beautiful mahogany, the Blair headboard is sure to make the kind of statement you want about your decorating ideals. The Blair headboard arches out dramatically like a full sail ready to catch the wind and carry you off to The Land of Nod. The individual vertical slats are hand carved and slope gently away from the top of the headboard. The Blair headboard will be a cherished part of your bedroom furniture from the moment you bring it home.

The Blair headboard was conceived by the Fashion Bed Group and sold at a price you can truly afford. The Fashion Bed Group makes beautiful headboards and beds that make the perfect addition to any home, and they’re committed to giving you the best prices imaginable on discount bedroom furniture.

If you have a son, you know how much they like to collect things. Maybe they like to collect books, maybe it’s a variety of animals, or maybe they like to collect baseball caps. Maybe they’re into action figures, or maybe they like to grab whatever dirty rock they can find outside and bring it into their bedrooms. The simple truth of the matter is that the majority of young boys like to have as many things around them as they can, whether their parents like it or not. One way to keep things organized is to get a wood headboard that doubles as a bookcase!

A wood headboard such as the River Valley Bookcase Headboard is ideal children’s bedroom furniture. This headboard is like the older style of bookcase headboards, with a slight twist: the flat panel actually moves from side to side. You can rest it in the middle of the headboard, to display things on both sides, or you can slide it one way or the other, to protect your child’s precious belongings inside. It has plenty of room for a number of different collections, including books and action figures, and even has a good deal of display room on the top, as the shelf is designed to give children plenty of room to put their favorite things on display.
