You're probably familiar with the California King Size mattress. But what about the Texas King, Alberta King, and Alaskan King sizes? Maybe not so much. That's because these oversized beds aren't as common as the California king. But if you are looking for more space and comfort, then it's about time to familiarize yourself with these oversized options because they are just what you need. An oversized mattress is any mattress larger than the California king, the largest of the standard mattress sizes.

Studies show peaceful and restful sleep is more important to children than any other age group. Proper mental and physical growth in children occurs in large part during sleep. The quality and duration of their sleep also impacts their general health, well-being, and energy levels throughout the day for sports, studies, and emotional development. It is during their all-important sleep that their bodies develop fastest, from bones to hormones, brain cells to physical makeup. Of course, kids being kids, they can fall asleep just about anywhere. But should they? Once you realize how crucial the quality of their sleep is to their development, you can do so much to help your child. “Hand-me-downs” and “old-school” mattresses don’t cut it anymore and they don’t come close to providing the comfort and support of today’s quality mattresses.     If you are a parent looking for the best mattress options for your...

  Everyone needs sleep. Sleep is essential for immune functioning, improved cognitive performance, and for the formation of new memories.    Still, we struggle with getting enough quality sleep every day. It is estimated that more than 50 million Americans battle with chronic sleep disorders every year, while nearly 20-30 million will suffer with intermittent sleep issues of some kind during the same amount of time.    Stress is the number one cause for sleepless nights. Spending the night tossing and turning on top of a small, outdated mattress, only makes matters worse. The last thing people need, especially during times of high stress, is to be even more stressed out from not getting a good quality night sleep on their old, worn-out mattress.           Challenges like having an active family, a demanding job, going to school full time, or even coping with a disability, getting...

Wintertime is the most favorite time of the year, at least for a lot of people, especially children. That is because along with building a snowman, hanging Christmas lights, and drinking eggnog by the fireplace is the year-long awaited visit from Old St. Nick, perhaps better known to some as Santa Claus. Santa Claus is the famous jolly, white haired, big-bellied guy in a red suit who climbs down the chimney of people’s houses one night a year, leaving behind presents for the children of the world. Sometimes Santa only leaves presents for children who made the nice list, otherwise you could be left with a lump of coal--which is why it is extremely important to try to be the best you can all year long.     The history of Saint Nicholas Most people know that Santa lives up at the North Pole, but it didn’t always used to...

  Have you recently heard of co-sleeping but weren’t exactly sure what that meant? Well, then, it certainly seems that you are not alone. Today, co-sleeping is commonly defined as when a child and parent sleep in close proximity to each other.   While there are several arrangements considered co-sleeping, such as an attached side care for a newborn or when parents sleep with the bed of their child in the same room as theirs. Most commonly, though, co-sleeping takes on the form of bed-sharing, which is where parent and child sleep in the same bed. Although co-sleeping has technically been a thing since humans began as it increased our chances of survival, the modern day form of co-sleeping has recently grown in popularity among many households across the USA.   According to recent data, co-sleeping rates have grown to around 25% of parents, a number that has risen over...
