But how can we watch over and protect them when everyone is asleep, with many children snuggly tucked into bed several feet off the ground? Bunk Beds are one of the most popular beds for youth bedroom furniture. Besides being a real space saver, there is something appealing to kids that makes sleeping high off the ground awesome!

Here are a few precautions you can follow that will help make your child’s bunk bed more secure.

1. Make sure your child is old enough to sleep in a bunk bed. Check the age recommendations when shopping for a bed, and have your child test out the bed before you buy it. They should be able to easily climb into and out of the bed by themselves.
2. The top bunk should always have a guardrail on all four sides, even if it will be placed against a wall. There should be no more than 9 centimeters (3.54 inches) between the bottom of the rail and the frame of the bed to prevent the child from becoming trapped between the rail and the frame.
3. It’s essential to use the proper size mattress on your bunk bed. Make sure the mattress you buy fits snugly against all edges of the bed frame. If you buy an extra long bunk bed, make sure the mattress is extra long as well.

Visit your PMD Furniture Direct ™ franchisee for fun and functional youth bedroom furniture, where you’ll also find the Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® Bedding Collection with a wide assortment of mattresses to safely fit your bunk beds (and grown up beds!) for a safe and sound night’s sleep.

You spend a third of your life on your Sealy™ mattress from the Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® Bedding Collection, recharging your batteries for tomorrow’s tasks. One of the most important furniture pieces you own deserves to be protected from liquid stains that can penetrate your sheets and leave foul odors and stains on your bedding.

Protecting your mattress from liquids such as urine, sweat, drinks and food is pretty simple: just keep it covered. Don’t put a garbage bag under the sheets and make your child sleep on a human noise maker all night, giving them the gift of grumpiness.  Instead, cover your mattress and pillows with a Royal Heritage® Mattress Protector and Royal Heritage® Pillow protector, which works to keep any type of liquid from leaving stains or odors behind. Our mattress protectors will keep your mattress fresh, allow you to sleep in a peaceful state and preserve your warranty coverage.

There are additional steps you can take to keep your mattress clean. Vacuuming the mattress is the only technique Sealy™   recommends. If the unthinkable does happen and some type of liquid reaches the mattress, Sealy™  recommends using only mild soap and cold water, and applying it lightly. Don’t ever soak a mattress or box spring, and don’t use dry cleaning solvents which could damage the construction materials .

Royal Heritage® Mattress Protectors and Royal Heritage® Pillow protectors are available through Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® as a part of our Royal Heritage Home Furnishings® Bedding Collection.

So what is the correct number? The answer to this depends on the person sleeping on the mattress, and, more importantly, on whether or not they’re sharing that mattress with someone else.

When first introduced to this crazy concept of mattress flipping, my first response was “Why would I ever do that?” Well, the answer is simple. To make the mattress last longer and sag less, both of which will save your back in the long-run. A mattress that is regularly flipped can last from 5-7 years longer. But what constitutes a “regular” amount of flipping? Was the person who recommended flipping twice a week for a total of 104 times a year right? Not exactly. Flipping a mattress once a month should suffice to prevent irregular wear.

If you do not flip your mattress, permanent sag will eventually set in, and it’s not always the kind of wear and tear that’s immediately visible. Sags tend to form in the middle of the mattress where bodies meet. The pressure from those bodies can cause springs to loosen, robbing the sleeper of the full support they need for rest.

Remember, it’s not enough to flip the mattress from left to right but from the head of the bed to the tail. This way, the whole mattress is being equally stressed.

With over one-third of your life spent sleeping, a comfortable mattress gives you the sleep you need in order to get through the work week. Sealy™ offers adjustable beds, airbeds, latex, “green” mattresses built with organic components, and space age memory foam, along with traditional high performance inner-spring sleep systems – all of which are available in twin, full, queen, king and California king sizes.

The comfort of your new Sealy™ mattress from Royal Heritage Home Furnishings™ won’t be the only thing you will be raving over! Our prices, coupled with our extreme dedication to customer service and ability to take the guess work out of shopping, give you the peace of mind knowing you’ll get a restful night’s sleep and an excellent value, too.
