Could bespoke furniture provide a complete solution for your bedroom?

Finding furniture that is right for your home is always important and when you are considering your bedroom (in my opinion) it is even more vital the bed itself and the other items around it create a tranquil atmostphere to aid a peaceful night of sleep.

Bespoke Oak Bedroom Furniture
Many people find they can't find a solution right for them that comes off the shelf - pre packed DIY furniture is not always the right answer and as a result, manufacturers of bespoke oak furniture are helping many homeowners to find the right solution.

Of course there are lots of advantages to creating your own furniture, including:
  •  A choice of colours and materials can be used to create furniture that works with both your bed and the decoration of your bedroom.
  • Accurate measurements can be used to ensure that furniture is built specifically with the room in mind and fitting to the most obscure nook or cranny.
  • Choices of furniture are wide and creating your own will mean you ca pick and choose what you get. Dressing tables, chests of drawers, wardrobes and bedside tables are all popular, but end tables, chairs and storage chests are also popular for gap filling.
  • Manufacturers often provide a fitting and installation service, which can help with saving time and effort when installing the pieces.

A furniture manufacturer will be able to assist in confirming all the required information as well as providing a range of furniture possibilities for you to choose from.

Could memory foam be the way to modernise a traditional bed?

For some time now, everyone seems to have been talking about memory foam mattresses. I can remember when they first arrived on the scene a few years ago. Here in the UK they were limited to the shopping channels and seems to be very expensive.

Traditional Metal Bed
These days they are available both on the high street and through well known branded bed sellers, so if you have a traditional metal bed, small double bed, upholstered king size or just a single there is likely to be a memory foam mattress that will fit.

When it comes to making the choice though it is often best to try out the firmness and comfort of a mattress yourself and get the right fit. As I have said here before, nothing can be more important than a good nights sleep and using the wrong mattress over time can start to make that a tall task.

Of course it is a matter of opinion, for every consumer I have heard say great things about the product there has been another that still prefers their traditional sprung mattress. Some people find the mattress toppers do the job, but if your mattress needs renewing it will just be a matter of time before the whole thing has to be replaced anyway.

For more information and advice on finding a memory foam mattress (or indeed any mattress) that is suitable for your needs I would reccommend speaking to a bed supplier that offers several brands, that way you will have a wider variety of styles to choose from.
