Hobs & Hoods & Beds Range

Hobs & Hoods

After so long of looking at it, seriously, most of them are very similar. Just which brand you think you can trust or feel its a good brand. I did touch on the topic on the different types of brand in the market so in the end for roy & me is the budget. I doubt i am a heavy cooker that must use the kitchen all the time. So Turbo or Rinnai will be in our Kitchen~ Will look into the pricing and type before posting the final choice. lol

Bed & Bed Frame

Roy and I had been looking the type of beds and the bed frame. I used to like the idea of the storage bed like my parents but sadly the shop dont sell the same time already! :( Can make use of the bottom part of the bed but roy was more interesting in Divan And Mattress type. Well, i had been using magic koil for sometime, almost two years now. I used to complain backaches to roy when i wake up using my old bed mattress. After changing to using magic koil, i have lesser backache problems. Roy & I have that kind of problem so we decided to use back the same brand. We were looking at the sleeppost.com.. the price quite ok and some promotions are on. Maybe can go down to their showrooms to look and see what is the price of their headboards.

Sealy give a good insight of how to buy a good mattress. Good read up on that area to give you a basic idea in what to look for in a bed. Not Promoting sealy but i find the information useful. =p

Comfort, how the mattress feels, is a matter of personal preference. What feels comfortable to one person may feel uncomfortable to another person. Therefore, whoever is going to use the bed should try several different models before making a purchase.

Surface comfort is determined by the UPHOLSTERY of the bed. Upholstery refers to the various layers of material between your body and the innerspring. Both the type and thickness of these materials will produce different levels of feel and therefore different degrees of comfort.

The myth "firmer is better" is not necessarily true. Your body type determines what comfort is better for you.

A mattress that's too firm for your body will not support all parts of the body evenly, and may cause discomfort at the body's heaviest parts, the shoulders and hips. The increased pressure on these points reduces blood circulation and will cause tossing and turning. This may result in a poor night's sleep and a far less productive day.

A mattress that's too soft for your body will not keep the spine in proper alignment. This will cause your muscles to work through the night straighten the spine, again leaving you tired and aching in the morning resulting in a less effective day.

No doubt you want a sleep system that is going to last; therefore, durability is very important.

The type of upholstery materials, and the type of steel, and the design of the spring unit impact the durability of the mattress.

The purpose of the Sprung Foundation is to extend the life of the sleep system. It absorbs the major portion of stress and weight placed on the sleep surface. It works much like a "shock absorber" in a car's suspension to eliminate stress in the mattress unit and prolong the mattress comfort life.

A worn-out Sprung Foundation can significantly shorten the life of a mattress. Not using a Sprung Foundation with your mattress can also shorten the life of the mattress. A properly designed Sprung Foundation provides strong support along with some flex.

Be prepared

• First, find a few reputable bedding retailers in your area.
• Then, before you venture out, dress the part. Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing.

Bring your partner

• We encourage sleeping partners to shop together for a bed. Plan on testing a variety of mattresses to find the set that matches each of your comfort needs.

Do the Sealy Comfort test and let your body be the judge

• Sit on the edge of the bed. Do you feel your weight being supported? Now lie down on your back for a few minutes with your feet off the floor. Relax, get comfortable. Roll onto your side all the way to the edge. The mattress should gently support and conform to your body at every point on the surface. You shouldn’t feel any pressure points. And remember, firmer is not necessarily better.

Buy the biggest, most comfortable sleep set you can afford

• Start by testing the best bed and work your way down. (Also, to determine your comfort preference, start by comparing plush and firm beds.)
  
  A good night’s sleep is one of the best investments you can make, so buy the best sleep set (i.e., mattress and box spring) you can afford. Keep in mind that most of us spend as much as one-third of our time in bed. Your investment will cost just cents per night over the next ten years
