If you own a waterbed at home, you must be aware of some of these safety tips so that accidents don’t harm or hurt you and your family. These tips do not come in the manual, and it would really be very good to keep them in mind:

Modern Mini offers this very practical crib convertible. It can be reassembled and disassembled into a crib, a toddler’s bed, a stand-alone desk or shelf, or a changing table.

The color and design appeals to the kids, too.

This nifty gizmo is from Skymall and its supposed to gently rock your baby’s mattress and calm him when baby is disturb from sleep.

Say adios to sleepless nights! This revolutionary new product gently moves a baby’s mattress in an up-and-down rhythm to simulate the calming, familiar feeling of a mother’s heartbeat. It also plays a soft lullaby that automatically shuts off with an adjustable timer.

Attaches to any crib or bed quickly and easily. Great for kids up to age 5 (50 pounds) who have trouble sleeping in their own bed.

I can’t deny that this is one idea short of brilliant. By dressing up one’s sleep space, a simple mattress and bed sits with a 3D design of a T-Rex as its headboard and canopy. Kids would probably enjoy this one but I don’t know how I would be able to sleep on a bed like this.

I’m no fashion maverick but I think “fashion bedding” would have to mean color-coordinated, high-end designs for bed sets, beddings and bed sheets. True, you tend to pay more for their design and quality. Yet, the fashion bedding industry keeps a steady line of patrons and consumers. These days, fashion is indeed no longer just about what you wear. People dress up their kids or their pets and they too can spruce up the bedroom and “dress up” their mattress. Today, fashion encompasses total lifestyle.

Next to holidays, back to school preparations rake over billions of dollars every year. Buying and upgrading the things your children need for school is necessary for every parent. Although sometimes, some consumers do get carried away with their purchases. And advertisers duly take advantage of this. Consumerism may have in fact reached new levels because as September nears, shops like bookstores and school supply stores are not the only ones coming up with back-to-school promotions, even mattress stores are also taking a piece of the pie.

Until September 16th, Sleep Country USA, is accepting donations of school supplies like pencils, notebooks, papers, rulers, crayons, ring binders, calculators and backpacks, to be given to some 23,000 foster kids living in the state of Oregon and Washington.

Kind-hearted souls can drop their donations at any Sleep Country store. They have over 60 outlets nationwide.

It has been described as “sleeping in the clouds” and for a piece made of 100% Egyptian cotton, 800 fill power and 300 thread count, it should feel exactly that. QualityRest™ Down Comforters are hypoallergenic, so it is safe even for younger kids or grown-ups sensitive to harmful materials.

Price range for this product is from $1,012 (twin) - $2,154 (California King)

Growing kids need a fully functional bed like this one. The hidden storage underneath it is a cool idea, an option you can have instead of drawers or shelvings.  Available from Berlin Design.

The Caress mattress cover is like a combination of a towel and a mattress pad. It is primarily for families with very young kids or relatives who are bedridden and may sometimes wet the bed. The material of the mattress keeps one dry and comfortable. Night sweats are no problem as these are easily absorbable, thanks to this. The Caress mattress could also be useful to someone with allergies, as this type of mattress cover is anti-bacterial.
