This captain bed is nice to place in the children’s room or the guest room. Underneath the bed, it looks like there are 6 drawers, but only 3 of them at the bottom are real.

Bed could be Romantic as well

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Just look at this bed, have you noticed how special it is? This bed has two steel poles that link to the top right to the wall. Thus, it will easily become a canopy bed if you add a piece of laced fabric on the poles. If you have some special wall lights hanging on the top, it will also turn on the romantic atmosphere.

Case Study Bed - Designed in 1949

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

This case study bed is designed in 1949. It is an elegant platform bed and it is ready to go with a single mattress.   Hand built of top quality 26-layer maple plywood with a perforated steel mattress support and brushed nickel-plated steel hairpin legs.

It looks simple, but definitely a cool bed to sleep on. As a platform bed, the price is a little bit surprising to me. The merchant who carries this bed is currently selling this bed at $1350 (without mattress) along with a shipping charge of $125. I do not want to give the address of the merchant.  But if you are interested in buying it, you can either leave a comment or contact me directly.

Zen Platform Bed

Monday, June 4th, 2007

I just found out today that Zen platform bed looks really “cool” in a bedroom. Look at the bed below. This bed features a 10 position adjustable head evaluation for sleeping or lounging. This bed has a very strong steel frame, which I believe you can order with different colors depending on your personal preference. It is also very easy to put a mattress on top. If your bedroom has enough room and what’s more important, if you love the look of “zen platform bed”, it will be a great choice for you. Generally, without the mattress, the price for the bed would be around $800.

Bedding Industry: One in Three of the Households Don’t Buy

Friday, June 1st, 2007

The article “buying gap data reveal big bedding opportunity” reported by FurnitureToday shows that the bedding has the third highest buy-shop ratio of 71%.

What does that mean? 71% of people who shop for bedding actually bought the item. This does look like a good number to most of the marketers. However, if we look at the other side of the story, there are 29% of people who just walked away. An estimated of 4.8 billion was lost last year in the bedding category.

That does represent an opportunity to the bedding industry. Before we start thinking about how the marketers can further bump the ratio up a bit, let us take a look at the main reasons that caused the “walk away without action taken”:

  • Many consumers are confused by the shopping experience. They see beds have very similar components but offer only slight differences
  • They see beds that are almost the same with a large price gap
  • They walk away for more choices, but at the end, they decide to delay the purchase

We should wait to see how the industry would handle this situation and whether they can make an improvement on the buy-shop ratio.
