The 7 Most Expensive Sheets in the World

Many people would agree that few things compare to the feeling that comes with going to sleep on a comfortable mattress at the end of a long, hard day. Not many things are better than getting a good, restful night of sleep, especially when that good night’s sleep is on a quality, comfortable mattress. Most are aware of the benefits that a good mattress can offer, however, it seems that many often overlook the benefits of other sleep gear, such as a good pillow, a nice blanket, the bed frame and even the quality of your sheets. While all of these are important, some suggest that the quality of the sheets we use on our beds are even more important because they are what comes in direct contact with our bodies as we are asleep. If you have ever owned a luxury set of sheets with at least...

What Is Santa’s Bed Made Out Of?

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...

Where Do Mattress Size Names Come From?

For those who have ever been curious and looked in to the origins of the bed, they know that mattresses have a rather interesting history. As long as humans have been around, we have always needed a place to sleep. Mattresses have changed a lot since the dawn of time and creation of man, starting with piles of vegetation and debris in the damp corner of some cave, evolving to the ever classy, stately, and royal four poster bed anchoring the center of a massive bedroom chamber occupying the corner of a house. The modern day mattress that most of us are familiar with didn't really become widespread and popular until Zalmon G. Simmons began mass-producing them in 1926. Even though they cost $40, an amount comparable to nearly $575 today, they were so comfortable that millions of Americans began purchasing mattresses from him. Even though mattresses like...

Our Top 10 Best Mattresses of 2021

As 2020 finally comes to an end, I’m sure the majority of us are ready for the start of a new year. Hopefully 2021 has a few more things to offer us aside from facemasks, pandemics, gender reveal parties, fires, and the overall madness that the year 2020 has brought. All jokes aside, though, the start of a new year usually gives people more than a few things that often bring excitement. For instance, the start of a new year often means a new you. That could be starting a new diet, giving up smoking, or trying to work out. Either way, one thing that all of those have in common is the necessity for a good night’s sleep, especially if 2021 is going to look anything like the past year. If there is anything we know for certain, it’s that in order to truly get a good night's...

The History of the Four Poster Bed

For centuries, beds have been a sign of wealth and nobility. The better the bed, the better the man, or at least that's how the old saying used to go. Today, even though much more accessible, the bed is still somewhat of a status symbol. Perhaps that is one of the reasons why the four poster bed has remained so high in popularity throughout the centuries. The four poster bed is one of the oldest in design and is one of the bed frames most often associated with the super wealthy and of high nobility. They are often called the bed of the kings. Ever since humans have been alive, they have needed to sleep, and naturally, they have always needed a safe, comfortable place to sleep as well. At first, people began gathering leaves, sticks, and other types of vegetation and debris to pile into makeshift beds usually inside...

What Types of Sheets are There for Beds?

There is nothing quite like waking up in the morning from a good night's sleep. For some, getting a good night's sleep is rather easy. For others, there are certain essential requirements that need to be met before someone can fall asleep peacefully. This may have to do with the mattress, the bed frame, whether or not there is a fan blowing in the bedroom, how hot or cold it is, what type of pillow you have, right down to the type of sheets.
