rbs2_48After a recent study revealed the importance of sleep for athletes, extra-long beds have reportedly been ordered to accommodate the Jamaican athletes attending the pre-London 2012 training camp at the University of Birmingham.

According to an article in the Daily Telegraph, Games planners are making special preparations for the visit of athletes, including leggy Usain Bolt who stands at six foot five inches tall.

While having a bed that is sufficiently big to sleep in will obviously provide comfort and aid sleep, it is safety that has apparently forced the move.

Zena Woolridge, director of sport at the University of Birmingham, said: “We don’t want them falling out or somebody walking past hitting their feet while they are hanging out the end of the bed. They could get injured. We want to provide the best facilities for them across every level.”

The training camp is due to take place two weeks before the Olympics start on July 27th, 2012.

Keep bed bugs at bay this holiday

94539239Ahead of the peak holiday season one organisation has issued guidelines to families who don’t want to bring any unwelcome guests back from their break.

The Restoration Industry Association (RIA) in the US has published advice guiding holidaymakers on how to not pick up bed bugs while staying in guest beds away from home.

In a press release issued on July 6th, the RIA say most bed bugs are “about the size of an apple seed and visible to the naked eye,” and have “flat, rusty-red coloured oval bodies.

Although bites from bed bugs pose little to no threat to human health, they can disturb sleep and cause itchy welts on legs where they bite.

The RIA warned holidaymakers to check beds in holiday accommodation for bed bugs, stating that they can hide behind headboards and mattresses.

They also advised travellers to keep their clothing in Ziploc bags within their suitcase to prevent them picking up bed bugs from other bedroom furniture items that could in turn be carried home.

Revival of the Day Bed

Florence Ivory Day BedLast year was very busy at Time4Sleep due to our move to bigger and larger premises to cater for our ever-expanding business. One massive area we did well with was the guest and day bed markets and this was because of excellent ranges and a wide choice from suppliers such as Serene Furnishings.

Day beds are increasingly being considered by consumers looking for an alternative sleep and design solution. After all, they can inject a sense of style whilst also being very versatile in the limited space that a modern home can often be restricted to. Day beds can also be used as additional seating as well as bed frames.

They can be made out of wood, metal or a combination of the two. Many of today’s day beds have fully-sprung slatted bases for additional comfort and support. This may also enable you to add an optional under-bed storage box if required, which is another great feature when space is at a premium!

The expansion of this market this year has also seen Serene Furnishings expand their range with the Serene Florence metal day bed, which is available in both ivory or brass finishes.

Pavia Black 01When it comes to fitting a comfortable bed in limited room space then we at Time4Sleep have the answer… why not add a sofa bed?

At Time4Sleep we are constantly seeking out new bed frames to suit all budgets, rooms and styles.  Sometimes we come across problems where a customer may call us for advice as they live in small apartments or flats and cannot always fit in a full-size bed frame.

This is when we often recommend a sofa bed, as this can be neatly tucked away when not in use. It is an excellent piece of furniture to have if you have unexpected guests, friends or family, who turn up and need a spare place to sleep for the night.

Whilst being small enough and practical enough to be tucked away, modern sofa beds are still a neat addition to any room. This year also sees the launch of a few new sofa beds from Serene Furnishings, such as the Serene Pavia and the Serene Venice.

These two Sofa Beds from Serene Furnishings feature the Click Clack system which is located in the backrest and allows for three positions of movement – upright, semi upright and fully reclined.  Our staff loved demonstrating this to our local customers in our brand new showroom.

At Time4Sleep we really love our sofa bed range, which comes in colours, styles and materials to suit all tastes and budgets.  Sofa beds aren’t just for the bedroom though; they are equally at home in living room, hallway or elsewhere in the home.

86809327At Time4Sleep we specialise in luxury, budget and contemporary leather beds from very low prices to the top-end of luxury. As such, we are pleased to announce the brand-new range of leather beds from Serene Furnishings. They have a stunning array of beds at affordable prices and are always a popular choice with our customers. However, the range expands this year with the addition of five brand-new leather beds such as the Serene Knightsbridge, Serene Kingston, Serene Richmond, Serene Marlow and the Serene Hampton.

This superb range was intially launched at the Interiors Show at the NEC in Birmingham in January 2011 and went down a storm. It has already being described as a “triumph for British design” due to the naming of each of the five new leather bed frames after a place in the UK. I’m sure you will agree that the design of these leather beds is truly amazing and very individual each in their own right.

This new range is not only luxurious but also very stunning.  This has been due to the collaboration with a prominent UK designer named Colin Jackson. Colin has had a career spanning over 30 years designing and commisioning an enviable list of projects with most major high street players.  This new range of leather beds from Serene Furnishings marries together all aspects of the modern leather bed frame, such as elegant lines, traditonal and contemporary styles and gorgeous leathers to boot. He definitely has the eye for a unique but different style of bed frame which should do well this year.
