Answer
Master Bedrooms

Master bedrooms are not just spaces where we go to slumber. They are relaxing havens where we can examine the day's events and retreat into a meditative and inquisitive state. Do you want your bedroom to be a Zen-like sanctuary filled with soothing neutral tones or a French provincial bonbon?

Make it the bedroom of your dreams with a sleep-inducing bed, adequate storage, and good lighting. Include family photographs, a TV, a sound system, a desk -- whatever makes you content.

Follow the experts' counsel: Expand a tight room with light colors and filmy curtains, and cozy up a big room with warm tones (such as raspberry or periwinkle) and patterns (such as gingham, toile, or stripes). To make the most of every foot of space, station bigger pieces of furniture parallel or perpendicular to the walls.

No matter whether you choose funky mismatched nightstands or the pair that came in your bedroom suite, be sure they are as high as the top of the mattress. You don't want to have to fumble in the dark for the phone or your alarm clock.

Boost a boring nightstand set by including a quirky flea-market find such as an old chest to hold extra blankets.

A miniature muslin bag stuffed with rosemary or lavender will prevent mustiness and keep a chest, drawer, or linen closet smelling fresh. Attractive, quality linens will ensure a heavenly rest.

Answer
Get rid of the mattress on one of the beds. Take the one you don't sleep on out and replace the mattress with a piece of plywood. Beg, borrow or steal some containers and turn that space into a storage area.

You will probably have enough space there for several large totes and possibly some drawers. This should give you ample storage for extra clothes, toys, and assorted junk.

The cheap way to do this is to use the bottom bunk for storage and find some fabric to hang which will hide the whole mess. This is cheaper because you can save on the storage totes by just getting cheap plastic ones at WalMart. But then you're stuck sleeping on the top bunk...

You can do the same thing to the top bunk, but the expense is more if you want your room to look nice. Nice containers are more expensive than fabrics. However, you can get artsy and find some cheap containers and shelving and try to decorate them so they don't look like you have a pile of totes on the top bunk.

Now, if you're handy with tools, you could curtain off the top bunk completely, throw some boxes up there to store your stuff, and be done with the whole issue...

Good luck

I would like to find a nice, twin size bed that includes the mattress, boxspring, head/foot board or even an entire bedroom set for the right price. It's for my 5-year old boy.

Answer
Believe it or not the Goodwill Store in Tampa sells brand new mattresses. I would also check out www.tampa.craigslist.org and the Tampa Tribune special ads for items under $250. People are always advertising kids' bedroom sets in the Tampa Tribune. You can even go online to its site and do a search in the classifieds for ads in the last week, searching by the zip code close to you

You can go to different Thrift and second hand stores and get some great deals and nice things. Also look in the paper for things people are getting rid of. I would say if you take your time and shop wisely about 2,000 for everything.

When you buy a bedroom set does it come with the Matress too?

bedroom set including mattress image

Cassandra

I am looking online for a bedroom set and it does not say anything about a Matress included.. I need to know if i need to save money for a matress too.

Answer
usually the mattress and box springs are sold seperately from the bedroom set. make sure when you purchase the mattress, you are getting the set.

i don't recommend buying a mattress online. this is a product you need to see, touch and feel before buying

When you buy a bedroom set from Macy's, do they include the mattress?

Q. Hello

I am interested in purchasing a bedroom set from Macy's but was informed by a friend that Macy's gives u the mattress when u purchase the bedroom set. Is that true?

A. Highly doubt it, unless there is a promotion going on or something

Original Question

What would be the proper etiquette for this situation?

Q. So, my husband and I are going to look at a bedroom set off Craigslist this afternoon. It includes the mattress. I want to try the mattress out and everything but I don't want to look like a weirdo considering it is in their private home. So, since I've never done this before, I was hoping for some words of advice...Should I just feel the mattress with my hand? Ask permission to lay down on it? Just *hope* it's comfortable and wait until I get it home to try it out? Please Help!!

A. I'm with Therese and Suri (1st poster)--

IF you can at all afford it right now, grab a new mattress; or, alternatively, one from places that have fumigated the still-good used mattress and vacuum-packed it-- (often agencies dealing in social services know of such places)-- But-- with all the knowledge we have of diseases--viruses, we have no idea who is carrying what--and not to sound gross or nasty-- but let's be real-- how much clothing is worn during sleep (never mind other possible activities), so how much skin cells (ie-- bed-bugs, tiny microscopic nastiest) are filling the mattress.

BUT, if you're bound to purchase this bed;

Ensure you SEE the mattress--itself-- box-springs and top--- no bedding-- you need to see what you're really getting-- do you want something that might have stains (and who knows how they came to be there?) on it: then know forehand-- Never forget-- in private deals like this-- it's "buyer beware" !!

Without being rude, do tell the sellers you want to lie down on the bed, (but have a flat-sheet tucked into your purse-- DO put it on top the mattress before you lie down; it's a subtle way of playing with their mind-- they'll pipe up and say something to defend why you needn't worry-- which provides you with an opening along the lines of "oh, so it's been professionally steam cleaned and you can guarantee I can sleep naked on the mattress? Then watch their faces-- listen to any catches in the voice-- that's body-language telling you if they're hiding something and about to lie-- If they hedge-- ask for proof-- and then toss in something along the lines of being willing to overlook that if they drop the price 150 bucks-- :-)

Make sure you check the framing too-- no hidden cracks where it'll give when you sit/lie. As regards the actual night stands, chest of drawers and dresser, do a thorough check on the smooth workings of the drawers and hinges-- check the backs of things to see if there are any cracks-- look at the levelness (or lack thereof) of the inside of the drawers-- (the bottom--heavy items will have warped the drawer, a pain to open and close for you, right? )---- check for any black or white flecks of something-- it could mean some small bug droppings-- which means-- eggs.

DO payattention to the overall way the house is kept, that'll give you an idea of how the bedroom suite/mattress has been kept-- ask if they still have the receipt for the mattress, so you get an idea of how much life there still is in it.

When you settle on a price-- do get a steam cleaner from the grocery store-- clean the mattresses and buy a mattress cover, just to be on the safe side. All the best ~~

What is the difference between a full and an oversized twin?

Q. I plan to buy a comforter set in an "oversized twin" but i have a full bed. Will it still work?

A. Hi
It can be more difficult to find bedding for an extra long twin bed. In stores, these extra long sheets are easier to find at the end of the summer, during back to school sales. You can also find sheets for an extra long twin bed online.

Some suggest using an extra long twin bed in a guest room. If you purchase two, you can push them together and create a king-size bed. Keep in mind that if you do buy an extra long mattress, you will need a new bed frame to go with it. Most mattress stores will include a new frame for little or no cost with the purchase of a new mattress and box spring.

If an extra long twin bed is not what you are looking for, there are many other mattress sizes available. A double bed, also known as a full, is another popular choice for a guest bedroom or a small apartment. These are 54 inches by 75 inches (137 cm by 190 cm). Some couples find them uncomfortable and too small for two people.

The most popular sizes for couples are queen and king size beds. Queen beds are 60 inches by 80 inches (152 cm by 203 cm). Standard king size beds are the widest available at 76 inches by 80 inches (193 cm by 203 cm), and the longest beds available, California kings, are 72 inches by 84 inches (182 cm by 213 cm).
