Platform Bed Blog : Bed News and Updates

Time for a new bed? Make sure you get the right mattress and boxspring! That may seem like an obvious thing to
say, but choosing the proper mattress can be the difference between
a restful and healthy sleep, and “not so much.”

Some of the things you should consider when buying a new
mattress are: the amount of back support, firmness, number and types of coils, size and mattress brand. You can
even buy a “no-flip” mattress if you never plan to turn your mattress over (every year or so). Price is always a
consideration (for most people). A good mattress and boxspring set can
range in price from a few hundred dollars, to thousands of dollars! Like many other things in life, you often
get what you pay for.

If you’re doing a little research on the Internet before you make any final decisions, you

Replacing old tired looking traditional wooden windows can instantly transform the look of the outside of your property. Traditional wooden sash or casement style windows can require replacing after five to ten years or so, if not cared for properly. If your property has original wood windows it would be a shame to replace them with new UPVC window units as this would spoil the character of your home.

Perfectly matched replacement wooden windows can be manufactured to look exactly like your original window units in new hard or soft wood. Window manufacturers can also fit your new box sash or casement windows with double glazing without spoiling the original look of the windows. Double glazed sash windows will make your home much more energy efficient as well as matching your buildings character. Box sash window manufacturers in the UK often make windows in traditional Georgian style for original historically listed buildings.

Any replacement wood windows questions you may have can be answered professionally by your traditional windows manufacturer. Many different styles of window can be made in traditional timber to replace original sliding box sash or casement style windows perfectly. A variety of finishing paints, stains and timber treatments can also be applied at the window factory to match your buildings theme.

In Sweden, Ikea employees do noticed a change in retail strategy from this global furniture giant. According to a memo, the Swedish company will focus on in-store experience as the only sales channel. Don’t take this wrong, Ikea will not discontinue its e-commerce in United States. According to the memo from Dahlvig dated Dec. 7, the focus on in-store efforts is the result of a decision from Ikea’s board, a decision based on the belief that Ikea “can give customers the best offer and the lowest price by making the range available only through Ikea stores.”  This shift in strategy was mainly due to the high cost of running e-commerce in Sweden. 

Under the Byrd Amendment, a couple of US manufacturers received $35.1 millions duties collected on Chinese wood bedroom furniture by US Customs and Border Protection. This represent a 61% increase from last year’s 21.8 million disbursement. Among all the manufacturers, Stanley Furniture received the largest payout amounting to $8.9 million. Companies that were not original petitioners that are seeking duties this year include Ashley, Furniture Brands International, HM Operating Inc., Kimball, Thornwood, Witmer Inds. and Standard.

However, in my opinion, this is not a way for US manufacturers to compete with foreign competition, duties can not be collected and distributed year after year and the amount definitely can not be guaranteed. Outsourcing probably be a better way for the long-term strategy if US manufactures want to stay competitive in this market.
