I’ve come across quite a few websites with instructions on how to build a proper bed frame. There are really many ways to do this and here’s a guide to a bed with a “proper” wood frame. You can read it all on  this site.

• Canopy - dramatic and fits right into a traditionally themed bedroom.
• Poster Bed -mostly for people who are also keen on bedroom elegance. Poster beds are majestic, with heavy wood finish and frames
• Platform bed - a bed more popular for its utility than anything else. Simple yet very modernistic.
• Sleigh Bed - most appropriate for a country-themed bedroom but in some cases, with metal finish or open slatted foot boards, a sleigh bed may also work in a modern bedroom
• Slat Bed - often seen in most transitional bedroom or country homes.

A mattress add-on capable of cooling and heating your bed, this is essentially what the Chill/Pad is designed to do. Temperature is adjusted via a remote control and may range from 60-100F. The pad guarantees to keep your electric power to a minimum, so it also is an energy saver.

Below is an explanation of Chill/Pad’s patented technology:

ChiliPadTM technology uses water instead of air to generate a wide range of in-bed temperature adjustment. Similar to the semi-conductor technology that cools your computer, water passes by the chip and depending on the direction of electron flow the water is cooled or heated. The water flows through soft coils in the mattress pad actively adjusting the temperature of the surface.

I couldn’t help but gasp when I saw this bed frame, for it is simply just exquisite. Its a type of bed aristocratic people sleep on in the 1880’s, during Napoleon III’s era in France. It’s covered in lacquered black metal, with mother-of-pearl inlay and iron rails.  A 73″ long and 45″ deep mattress should fit into this finely, with box springs.

My Attempts at Frugal Mattress Shopping is a guy’s account on buying a mattress. He runs a site that deals with finances, some practical spending and investing advice, but says he is not a guru on it. On mattress shopping, he checked out a lot of deals to finally decided on NovaForm Queen Fresh Dreams Memory Foam Mattress which he bought at Costco, on sale for $550.
