Yes, there are lots of beds bigger than a California King. But if you want the very biggest bed of them all, then you want The Family Bed by Taylor & Wells. In fact, once you get a chance to see The Family Bed, a California King will look like an army cot. The California King bed frame and mattress is a well-known size, but the truth is it’s not as wide as a normal standard king size. A standard king is 76inches wide, and although a California King is a few inches longer, it’s only 72inches wide. Unless you’re getting taller and skinnier as you grow older, I wouldn’t recommend it. Let’s review some of the other oversize beds to learn more.    Why a bigger bed is better When I was young, I could fall asleep on practically anything and wake up rested and ready for the...

  Edge support on a bed is one of the least known factors of a good night’s sleep. Here’s why -- a firm yet comfortable edge on your mattress means everything stays where it should be, whether you’re sleeping, hanging out with the family, watching a movie, or even putting on your shoes. The technology and materials used to create the edge support make it one of the most important components of your mattress, and it is integral to the overall performance and durability.   Mattresses are not built the way they used to be, and that’s a good thing Today’s mattresses are designed with several specific components that work together. The strength and flexibility of the edge of the perimeter of the mattress are crucial to how well these components work. The edge needs to be sturdy enough to provide stability and yet pliable enough to make it comfortable....

There are at least a half dozen ways an adjustable mattress can help relieve snoring. Today, we're going to review several of them. The first thing to consider is that unless you're going to record yourself while you sleep or your sleep partner is willing to share the truth, you can never tell if you snore and, if so, how bad it really is.   It's funny -- at first When you're young, and the subject of snoring first comes up, some people find it funny. The trouble is initially; snoring can be as mild as a soft purr. But as we get older, that soft purr can transform into the roar of a chainsaw. That's not funny at all. Especially when your snoring keeps everyone else up.     I finally admitted I had a problem when my wife told me she watches me at night to make sure...

  The main reason your mattress squeaks is old or damaged inner springs. And unfortunately, there’s no way you can fix a squeaky mattress. What can start as a small inconvenience often turns into an unbearable frustration. Squeak, squeak here. Squeak, squeak there, and pretty soon, you’ve got a squeak, squeak everywhere. Why torture yourself? It’s probably time for a new mattress. Do you have a squeaky mattress, squeaky box spring, or squeaky bed? If you don’t have inner springs in your mattress or box spring, it’s most probably your bed frame or the floor. For example, 100% memory foam mattresses or 100% latex mattresses do not use springs. However, it’s not always easy to tell if your mattress has springs inside. Hybrid mattresses use a combination of springs and other materials to provide support and comfort.     Why do springs squeak? Mattresses and traditional box springs use coiled...

  No matter how much we love a mattress, at some point, it's time to move on. The same goes for a favorite bed, although beds seem to last longer than mattresses. When you decide it's time, there are some simple tips to help you. There are even a few ways to help you figure out when that time has come. So here's a hint: if it's been seven years, it's time to think about it.       Have you gone nose blind?   When was the last time you stripped your bed and mattress of linens and smelled the mattress? I don't mean from across the room or when your freshly laundered linens are billowing over the mattress. I mean, sniffing your mattress up close. If even the thought of this scares you, take my word for it, it's time to get a new mattress.      ...

If you’ve ever seen an adjustable bed in action, we figure you’ve already experienced how cool it is.     How does sleep position affect my sleep quality?   When you’re young, sleep position doesn’t seem to matter as much. You could almost fall asleep on a bed of nails if you had to and still wake up refreshed and ready to start your day.  Things are a little different now, I bet. The position you...

You’ve seen them: those white tags and labels sewn into the seam of a mattress. They’re big, they’re plentiful, and they’re not easy to remove. Why are they there? How come there are so many of them? What happens if I remove them? What are the penalties for removing these tags?   Well yes, there is a federal law about tags prohibiting the removal, and the penalties are quite severe. The trouble is there is a lot of confusion out among the public about who these laws are for, who can remove these tags, and when you can do so. Today we will attempt to clear up this confusion.    Under penalty of law       “Under penalty of law, this tag not to be removed except by the consumer.” There it is. Plain and simple right? No one but consumers can remove these tags. So how come so...
