Get The Look: Traditional Bedroom

[ Image via Pinterest ]


If you are looking for a traditional bedroom that feels light and fresh, take some inspiration from this amazing room. Although it has very formal furniture pieces, it shows off it’s personality through an abundance of artwork and it’s large library wall. The mix of white with pale blue and lavender accents is an offbeat palette. The mismatched night tables are another way of keeping this room from feeling too stuffy or serious.

Everything You Need to Know About Buying A Mattress

 

There is nothing more integral to a good night’s sleep than a comfortable mattress. No one wants a restless sleep or to suffer back problems caused by a poor quality mattress. It may seem like a big expense but when you remember that you spend one third of your life in bed then you will see why it’s so important to choose a good quality one.

If you are thinking that it’s time for a new mattress, then it probably is. The average mattress has a lifespan of about 5-7 years. However if your mattress dips or sags or collapses when you sit on it, it is probably time for a new one. Other signs that a mattress needs replacement are coils or wires that have sprung loose as well as excessive creaking.

So now that you’ve determined that it is time to make a purchase, you will want to do a little research to determine that you are buying the best mattress for your needs.

Determining Your Budget

One major factor in the purchase of a new mattress is price. There is a huge range in price on the market these days ranging from the hundreds of dollars to the thousands. However, there are also great options available at every price point. In general a cheap mattress will be of lower quality but bargain hunters should note that there are frequently great deals to be had on higher end products. Mattress sales and discount mattresses are pretty easy to find. It’s a good idea to do some research first to get an idea about quality and then be sure to compare several models that are within your price range.

Types of Mattresses

Innerspring mattresses are made of an interior coil system. The quality of a coil system can vary widely depending on factors like the gauge of wire to the total number of coils. In general, more coils equal better support and a better night’s sleep. Innerspring mattresses come in a variety of styles including pillow top or no-flip.

A popular alternative to the innerspring mattress is the foam mattress. Foam mattresses fall into two categories: memory foam or latex.

Memory foam was originally designed by NASA to relieve the extreme g-forces that astronauts were subject to during lift-off. In the 1980s a consumer version became available. A memory foam mattress has the ability to conform to the shape of a person’s body but springs back to its original shape, making it an ideal choice for mattresses. Memory foam also heats up with body temperature and will soften in areas that are higher temperatures. This can be a very relaxing sensation but some people will prefer the feeling of a slightly more firm latex mattress.

Latex is another option for foam mattresses. Latex has a higher elasticity than memory foam which makes them feel springy, especially when compared to a memory foam mattress. The latex foam will seem to press against the body in an effort to return to its original shape, which may or may not be more comfortable.

Latex is available in natural or synthetic varieties. If you are worried about VOCs or if you suffer from allergies, you might want to choose a natural latex mattress. Natural latex is also biodegradable and inherently resistant to bacteria, mold and dust mites. In comparison, a synthetic latex mattress will usually be less expensive and more firm than natural latex. The most common of all is a mattress made of a blend of synthetic and natural materials.

A foam mattress is typically built in the same fashion. Up to 4 different layers of foam are combined together, with a durable layer at the bottom and a soft layer at the top. This gives the mattress shape but allow maximum comfort to the sleeper. Foam mattresses also typically last longer than regular mattresses. A good quality foam mattress can last up to 20 years.

Type Of Coils

Coil mattresses are still the most common type of mattress. But there are four major types of coil mattresses available to choose from.

The Bonnell Coil System

The Bonnell coil system is a series of hourglass-shaped coils which are tied together by thin spiralling wire. This was the first type of mattress coil system and it’s still extremely common today. The maximum number of coils in a Bonnell spring mattress is 364 (on a full size), which is on the lower end of the scale. However, it also tends to be the least expensive type of mattress which is great for those on a budget or for those places where the mattress is not used regularly (spare rooms etc.).

Offset

Offset coils are very similar to Bonnell coils, in that they are both hourglass shaped.  Offset coils have squared off tops and bottoms for maximum support.  The flat segments of wire are hinged together with helical wires. The hinging effect of the coils has been designed to conform and support the body.

Continuous Wire

Continuous wire mattresses are created from a single wire, which is often more than 590 feet long.  Continuous wire mattresses tend to be the strongest but do not necessarily offer the most support. They also tend to be on the firm side, which may or may not be ideal for you.

Individually Wrapped Coils

Individually wrapped coil mattresses, which are also called pocket coils or Marshall coils, have thin-gauge, barrel-shaped coils individually encased in fabric pockets. Because they are not connected, they are a great choice for couple’s because one sleeper’s movements will not disturb the other. This type of mattress offers excellent support for the back, which is ideal for those with back problems. These mattresses also tend to be the most expensive but a great night’s sleep makes them worth the extra expense. Watch out for cheap individually coiled mattresses on the cheap side as they can sag quickly as they are sometimes non-tempered.

 


Simmons BeautyRest Elite Willett Plush Firm Evenloft Mattress

How Many Coils?

The total number of coils in your mattress has a strong effect on the overall firmness and quality. In general the more coils, the higher quality the mattress. Most mattresses tend to have 300 to 800 coils, with the 500 to 800 range considered “firm”. However a lower number of coils can also indicate a higher quality mattress if they are made from a higher gauge wire (14 gauge or lower).

Another factor to consider with a coil mattress is the number of working turns. A working turn is the total amount of turns that a coil has. For example, a coil with four working turns will not be as resilient as a coil with eight working turns. When this is multiplied across the total amount of coils on a bed, you will begin to understand why this calculation is important. The higher the total number from this calculation the more durable your bed will be.

Flip or No Flip?

A trend on today’s market is the no flip mattress. These mattresses are designed to save you from having to flip over your mattress twice a year. This might sound like a great idea but since these mattresses only have upholstery and padding on one side, they will also last half as long as a similar normal mattress. But if you still love the idea of a no flip mattress then they can still make a wise investment.

Mattress Sizes

If you have an existing bed frame or headboard you will already know what size of mattress to choose. But if you are starting from scratch you might want to consider what size is right for you. Generally people prefer the largest size mattress available but you will also be limited by the size of your home and your budget.

Here are some the most common mattress dimensions for North American beds:

- King mattress (also called Standard King or Eastern King) – 76″W x 80″L A King sized bed is the same size as two twin mattresses together and provides ample space for two people.

- California King mattress (also called Western King) – 72″W x 84″L California King-sized are not as wide as King sized beds but they are longer. However bedding for this size is not as widely available as bedding is for king or queen sized beds.

- Queen mattress – 60″W x 80″L

- Full size mattress (or double mattress) – 54″W x 75″L

- Twin mattress – 39″W x 75″L

Simmons BeautySleep Edgemere Firm Mattress

How Firm?

The old wisdom was the firmer the mattress, the better it was considered for your back. But there has never been any research to back up this claim. Today it is wise to go for the level of firmness that is right for you. Chiropractors maintain that your spine should look the same when lying down as when standing up, which might not happen with a very firm mattress. This requires a mattress with a bit more give, especially if you sleep on your side. Your mattress should also distribute pressure evenly across the body. This will help with circulation, decrease body movement and minimize the transfer of movement from one partner to another.

Choosing a Pillowtop

If you are looking for an extra layer of comfort, a pillow top mattress is a great choice. These mattresses have an extra layer of cushioning for softness on top of a supportive base. This might be a great choice for you if you require extra cushioning although an another option would be to purchase a mattress topper or a mattress pad. There are several different types of pillow tops on the market ranging from polyester fill to sculpted foam to coils. Each offers a different level of comfort for the sleeper so be sure to compare ahead of purchasing. The most common type is polyester fill. Don’t worry about what the name is. Each brand will call their pillow top mattress something different.  You will need to read the details to find out what you are actually getting.

A Good Foundation

When it comes to choosing a foundation for your mattress, you have several options. Some modern platform beds no longer require the use of a boxspring. If you are unsure of whether you need one or not, check the height of your bed frame or headboard before making a decision.

If you have the choice between buying a boxspring mattress or not, it’s wise to consider that a boxspring will prolong the lifespan of your mattress. The ticking and padding can wear out more quickly without one.

A boxspring is the most common type of foundation for a mattress. A boxspring provides firm support but still has an impact-absorbing coil inner structure. Boxsprings are designed to be used with a coil mattress and since they absorb up to 50% of the impact, it is important to use one that is the right fit for your mattress.

An alternative to a boxspring is the box foundation. A box foundation does not have inner coils. Box foundations are designed to be used with foam mattresses. Do not use a box foundation with a coil mattress as it can cause the mattress to break down more quickly.

Safety Concerns

No matter what type of mattress you choose, you can rest assured that all mattresses sold in the United States must conform to fire safety standards.

Simmons BeautyRest Elite Willett Plush Firm Mattress

A Word on Warranties

Most mattresses carry a warranty but they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.  It’s also wise to note that most warranties will require your original receipt as well as the law label from the mattress. It’s also good to note that a warranty will only cover any manufacturer’s defects and usually won’t cover regular wear and tear.


Getting a good night’s sleep is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Choosing the right mattress is the easiest way and most effective way to improve your sleep quality. It might be a large expense but it is one that is totally worth the feeling of being well rested.

Highlights From High Point Market

High Point Market is the largest furniture show in North American. It happens every spring and fall in High Point, N.C. which is a major center for furniture showrooms and manufacturers. The market was orignally founded in 1909 as a way to highlight the region’s many furniture makers and retailers. The concept is the same today but it has since grown to become one of the largest furniture markets in the world with over 10 million square feet of exhibition space and an average of 80,000 attendees. High Point attracts the top designers, decorators and manufacturers from around the globe. If you want to scope out the latest in furniture trends, High Point is definitely the place to be. The big question on everyone’s mind is always what’s new and hot on the market. So here is our recap of the five best trends from High Point Market:

 American Drew Ashby Park Banana Leaf Weave Bed

 1 – Natural Influences

Designers and furniture companies are definitely taking a cue from Mother Nature these days. Natural influences were abundant at High Point in everything from textiles to decorative objects. Materials like cork, driftwood and shells were especially popular this year. Organic influences are combined with modern style to create a hot new look for the home. Look for curving lines, muted colors and lots of textures.

2 – Modern Marrakech

If you have flipped through the pages of Elle Décor in the last couple of years, you will be well aware that the Marrakech influence is everywhere. This season the boho look gets a modern makeover. The Moroccan look is characterized by graphic prints, lots of tile and bold colors mixed with neutrals. Look for pieces that incorporate designs inspired by Moorish fretwork, the used of natural materials like shells and heavy use of gorgeous geometric tiles. Tie the look together with a new graphic print rug.

3 – Classic Details Revisited

Traditional upholstery details were used in a major way at the Market. Button tufting and welting details were everywhere. Contrast welting is a new look at an old technique and was frequently spotted in bright colors. Button tufting is an eternally popular look that has seen a recent renaissance. These details were common on all types of furnishings ranging from traditional to modern. Button tufting is an eternally popular look that is especially hot right now. This look adds a touch of formality to any space and is even being used on more modern pieces of furniture. Try out the trend on a tall headboard or make a major statement with a tufted sofa. The trend translates into soft furnishings as well so be on the lookout for throw pillows or chair cushions with extra pleats, welts or buttons.

4 – Bohemian Style

The lighthearted boho look is still incredibly popular for home décor. This naturally relaxed style is both bold and eclectic. Those who have the need to express their individuality find themselves drawn to this look. Vintage-inspired floral prints were everywhere as were furnishings upholstered in a bold mix of fabrics.

5 – The Color Blue

Color trends are always on the move but the current design favorite is both classic and timeless: blue. Seen in many shades ranging from smoky to bright, blue was spotted on the upholstery of dining chairs, sofas and loungers. Blue works as a soothing presence for any room in your house.


Being trendy doesn’t necessarily mean that your furniture will date quickly. The good news is that this year’s High Point Market displayed many classic items among the top trends. Right now is a great time to get in on some trends that are certain to stand the test of time.

A warm and cozy look is sometimes difficult to achieve with a mostly black and white pallette. But we think this room fits the bill perfectly. This is a great way to show how to fit living room and dining furniture together in one relatively small space. This room has some very basic furniture pieces but it shows it’s personality through the wallpaper, pillows and the subway sign inspired art. The sofa and chair look extremely comfortable and the ottoman can double as extra seating as needed. If you think your small space is holding you back, try to get some inspiration from this.

Buying Guide: Desks

 

Why Buy A Desk?

A desk is an essential part of any office whether it’s in your home or in your workplace. Today’s desks offer much more than just a work surface. They are equipped with storage features like filing cabinets and drawers which help to keep the work surface clear for your important tasks. Desks have evolved over time to become more appropriate for today’s computer-based working environments. They are available in a huge array of styles, sizes and finishes so that you are guaranteed to find the right fit for your work space.

Types of Desks

 computer desk

Techni Moblili Computer Desk RTA

Computer Desks

It should come as no surprise that computer desks are by far the most popular style of desk for today’s working environments. A computer desk provides a flat workspace suitable for a computer along with extra storage. Many styles have a built in cabinet for your CPU as well as grommets and other wire management systems. Many incorporate pedestal-style cabinets on one or both sides which typically include storage drawers and a filing cabinet for paper storage.

 writing deskHooker Furniture M Lange Bennett X Base Writing Desk

Writing Desks

Writing desks are timeless and elegant solutions for a home office. They are generally sleek and slim in shape which gives them a lighter look in comparison to a large computer desk. The draw back is that they offer little to no concealed storage but that is often a fair trade off for their beautiful good looks. A writing desk is often a great solution for those who work with a laptop instead of a desktop computer. Writing desks are available in a wide range of colors and sizes ranging from traditional styles to more modern designs.  If you are planning to use your writing desk for a desktop computer double check that the desk has a depth of 24″ or more in order to accommodate your monitor.

Executive Desks

Spring for an executive desk to get a stately look with a ton of built in storage. Executive desks are the perfect choice for a true executive office or a large home office. With ornate detailing, moldings and hardware, these desks are truly showstoppers. Use one alone or in conjunction with a hutch, U-bridge or L-shaped desk to make the maximum use of your space.

 

bow front deskBush Hansen Cherry Series C Corsa Bow Front Desk

Bow Front Desk

A bow front desk is a type of executive desk with a rounded front. These have a softer feeling than a normal executive desk, making them an ideal choice for those who see clients in their offices frequently. Whether your office is at home or not, a bow front desk creates a welcoming presence that will warm up any office space.

 l-shape deskBestar Hampton Home Office Computer Desk in Tuscany Brown

L-Shaped Desk

L-shaped desks are a popular choice for many working environments. They are versatile enough to be used in a number of different configurations. Use an L-shaped desk to delineate separate working spaces in an open concept office. Or choose a smaller scale desk for use in the corner of your home office. If you need extra storage go for a model with an attached hutch on one or both sides to make the most of your vertical space.

 secretary deskAmerican Drew Camden White Drop Lid Work Station

Secretary Desks

A secretary desk is a design classic and a great way to incorporate storage into your workspace. A secretary desk typically has a fold-out work surface (which is why they are sometimes known as a flip top desk). The work surface does double duty by concealing storage shelves or drawers. However, even though secretary desks all share this characteristic there are still a number of different styles to choose from. Some secretary desks incorporate a hutch while others are small and sleek – an ideal solution for small spaces. Most include pedestal storage or drawers underneath. Some types of secretary desks are simply drop front desks, without a base of drawers and do include additional storage. Secretary desks are typically antique-inspired, making them a great choice for classic or formal style homes. However, today’s modern desks are often equipped to deal with all the latest technology and feature wire management systems.

 roll top desk

International Caravan Carved Wood Roll Top Desk

Roll Top Desk

A roll top desk is another great choice for those who want to be able to hide their work away out of sight at the end of the day. The roll top also usually has the ability to lock which makes it a great option if you have a home based business or if you just want to keep your work safe from your little ones. Roll top desks also have a timeless look that is a perfect complement for a traditional style home. But looking like an antique doesn’t mean they perform like one. Many of the new roll top desks have been specifically designed to house laptops and computer peripherals. Different roll top desks have different storage features including drawers, shelves, paper slots or letter caddies. A roll top desk makes a great choice for rooms that do double duty such as a den or family room.  They are commonly made of real wood with deep and sophisticated stains or finishes.

 student deskSouth Shore Axess Small Wood Computer Desk with Hutch in Pure Black

Student Desks

Student desks are not just for students. A student desk is typically a type of computer desk that is smaller than average. Their compact size and clever storage features make them a great choice for any small space. Some are even designed to be portable, which makes them a great option for spots where you need flexibility (like a dorm room or studio apartment).

standing deskTechni Mobili Cadmus Mobile Laptop Stand in Graphite RTA

Standing Desks

Choose a standing desk for any situation where mobility is required. For the most part a standing desk has wheels so that it can be moved easily from place to place. Some people will require the flexibility of a standing desk while others will simply prefer to work while standing for ergonomic reasons. Standing desks are also popular in academic and professional environments where presentations or lectures are frequently given.

 home office deskBush Fairview Black Cherry Office Suite

Home Office Desks

Home office desks are a great way to maximize storage in your home office. Most home office desks incorporate extra details like hutch shelving or an l-shape. Look for extra features such as pull-out keyboard trays, CPU shelves or printers to accommodate all your needs.

 reception deskMayline Aberdeen Reception Station with Transaction Counter and Return

Reception Desks

If you are outfitting an office space, you will want to make sure you pay extra attention to your reception area. It’s the first place that anyone will see upon entering your office so you will want to make sure it makes a great impression. Reception desks offer both privacy for the reception area and a convenient transaction area for guests. The right reception desk should be both functional and eye-catching at the same time.

 corner deskSouthern Enterprises Corner Computer Desk

Corner Desk

Stretched for space? It’s usually pretty easy to find an underused corner in your home to use as a home office. Corner computer desks are the perfect choice for small or awkward spaces. If space isn’t an issue choose a larger corner desk. Plenty of storage options make it easy to stay neat and organized. Corner desks are available in a wide variety of styles, finishes and sizes. If you need extra storage room go for a corner desk with hutch style shelving or an L-shape.  Some corner desks feature added storage extras like filing cabinets, pull out keyboard trays or shelving.

 laptop cartSafco Products Stand Up Workstation

 

Computer Carts and Mobile Laptop Carts

If you are looking for some flexibility in your workspace consider purchasing a computer cart or mobile laptop cart. A computer cart is a small desk on wheels. Choose from sitting or standing models depending on your requirements. Or go for a simple folding model to save on space when not in use. Consider a model with storage shelves for an all-in-one solution.

 kids deskLea Midtown Desk in Dark Cherry Finish

Kids Desks

Every kid needs a dedicated space to spread out and get down to the business of doing their homework. A child-sized desk is the perfect solution. These are designed specifically to be a comfortable fit for small bodies. And just as with adult desks, kids desks are available in a number of styles, sizes and finishes. Go for a whimsical and fun design or choose a more traditional style for long-lasting appeal.

 classroom desk

Safeco Alpha Better Student Desk in Beige

Classroom Desks

Classroom desks are of course, most appropriate for the classroom. These small desks are designed to fit just the essentials. They can work in a formal classroom environment or in an office conference area.

Sauder Shoal Creek Desk in Mocha

Styles of Desks

Desks are available in a range of styles and finishes. Go for a classic look with paneled doors, ornate moldings and substantial hardware or lighten things up with a contemporary design. Oak, maple and cherry are all popular wood desk finishes. For a modern feeling try something in a dramatic finish like high gloss white or deep espresso.

glass deskTechni Mobili Frosted Glass L-Shaped Desk in Graphite

Desk Materials

Desks are most commonly found in wood or MDF with a laminate finish. Solid wood can be just that or used in conjunction with a real wood veneer. Solid wood is a hallmark of high quality construction. However a laminate finish will have the look of wood but also be durable and easy to maintain.  If you are the type of person who constantly forgets to use a coaster under your coffee mug, a laminate desk is probably the best solution for you. For a lighter modern look, consider a metal and glass desk. These desks take up very little visual space which makes them a great choice for small spaces. Desks with tempered easy to maintain but remember that they can also scratch if you are not careful. If you require the ultimate in durability, try to look for a desk specifically designed for a commercial environment.


With the mind boggling array of desks available today, choosing a desk can be a complicated task. But making a carefully-thought out list of your requirements goes a long way towards simplifying the task. With a little forethought, you will be sitting at the perfect desk for you and your space in no time.

And don’t forget that a desk is only half of the equation! To make a truly comfortable office for yourself you will need to make sure that you also have a comfortable office chair to sit on. Check out our collection here to find the perfect seat for your new desk.
