How to Make Your Bed Comfortable and Healthy
80Start from the morning until now the rain didn’t stop. But I hope I still have a spirit to write my idea here. There is a good question for you, where do you spend your time in your home? In my opinion, we spend our time in bedroom. After working hard in all day long, we felt tired. We need something fresh. And I thought the best place to rest in the bedroom, right. How long do we spend our time in the bedroom? Again it depending our need. We may spend our time in bedroom while reading or listening to music with lying down on the bed. Maybe some of us love to write with laptop on the bed. To support our activity in the bed, we need a good bed. It doesn’t mean an expensive bed, but a bed which allow us to use this comfortable and healthy of course.
A little about bed
A bed has several shape and size. Commonly a bed divided by two parts, above section and below section. Above section is the most comfortable and very enjoyable to be slept. We called this section is mattress. A long time ago, the mattress is usually filled with straw this is for ordinary people. But for the rich usually filled the mattress with feathers, they usually used goose feather. Recently, a mattress stuffed with cotton or other artificial material. And most modern mattresses use springs and foam. There also are using water or air as special mattress.
When do we replace our bed?
Generally the age of a bed is about ten years. After that, functionality and comfort of beds will be reduced. Overweight factors also can accelerate the destruction bed. The bed which is not feasible to use will make your bones become unhealthy. Sometimes we need this to make refreshment. We may get bored with the old bed or maybe we felt uncomfortable anymore. I thought the best for us to replace the bed if:
- We felt sore in our neck and caused back pain.
- The bed doesn't soft anymore and uncomfortable as well as in some parts began to appear bulge.
- The bed started creaking.
- The construction of the bed is broken or begin to waver.
- The bed started to feel cramped, so you and your partner often collide.
- We often feel restless on bed, and difficult to find a comfortable position during sleep. The effect is we can sleep soundly.
The best tips in choosing a bed
The most important part of a bed is the mattress because with good mattress we can sleep soundly. So, be careful if you want to buy a bed. Here are some useful tips for you:
- If you want to buy a new bed, please see the price and the size. In addition, health problem also has to be noticed. There are some people having problems with allergies to certain materials. If we have big body, choose a larger size bed. If you often perspire, choose a bed which absorb your sweat and has quite enough moisture.
- While in the shop. Some of the shop allowed you to try the bed before you bought this. You can use these tips: don’t be quickly to take decisions considering the price of a bed, because it is quite expensive and it will be used for the long term. Choose the best time when you're not tired if you want to try a new bed in the shop, so it will not obscure your assessment of a bed. Because if you in tired condition, then all the bed will feel comfortable. Try lying on for a few minutes and feel the difference in the comfort of each bed. You also can try different sleeping positions and feel good comfort level of the shoulders, hips and your back.
How to take care your bed?
Once you buy a new bed, of course you want this bed always comfortable in a long time. I have good tips to make your bed remain durable and long lasting.
- Read the manual book from the manufacture after you bought a new bed. This is about how to maintenance this bed well. After the bed arrived at home, immediately open the wrapping of the bed with the purpose the bed and mattress does not become damp, moldy and rotten.
- Every two weeks after you bought this bed which made by spring, you should rotate and flip the mattress. With the purpose to condense the contents of the mattress and make the mattress to be flat in each section. For the older beds, can be done once a month. You don’t need this if you use a foam mattress such as latex.
- Do not get used to bend and roll up the mattress, especially a mattress made of by foam or contain cotton. Because it will damage the surface of the mattress.
- Try to open the bed cover each day every 30 minutes. With the purpose to get fresh air circulation and the moisture which absorbed by the bed will evaporated.
- Avoid children who like to jump on the bed because it will damage the surface of the mattress. I know this is happen many times, but better give them understanding. I believe they will obey us as a parent.
- Don’t use a bed on the same side constantly, because it will damage the surface of the bed. For example, you often sit or sleep only in one side.
I know the bed is important for us. We usually spend about one-third of our life on the bed. Because of this we have to choose a good bed for our sleeping comfort. And certainly we will wake up the next morning with a fresh body and ready to run our activity. I also enclose the creations of a modern and sophisticated bed below. We may get inspiration here. Happy sleeping...........

What brilliant photos you have here. I really don't think I could ever sleep in sandwich one!

Brilliant hub as always Prasetio, voted up and pressed all your tabs.Thanks for sharing.
Awesome info and pics!
I flip my mattress every 3 months but I'll bump that up.It's quite difficult being kingsize.
Is it the same if both sides are pillowtops?
Thanx for sharing,hub up!
We spend a 1/3 of our life in bed,so the idea of spending good money on a quality bed is common sense,thanks for the tips Prasetio.;)
Prasetio! I knew this hub would be special - because you created it! (I even hit your funny button- it's fun with funny beds) These are "dream beds" you have collected here. But I will care for mine a little better and turn my mattress over and turn it so I don't use the same position all the time. Thank you for your helpful hints and these beautiful beds. Just thinking of beautiful beds should help us sleep better. God bless you my Nephew Prasetio!
I definitely agree, bed is one of the most important home furniture. In fact, this is my first priority when I shop for my home furniture.
You really put the best ideas on beds, dream beds indeed :)
My bed is so important to me, how it feels the first time I lay on it tell me so much. I need a best bed and a dream bed is so wonderful to have. thank you for this beautiful and dreamy hub. Love you for this one. I am now going to dance on your buttons on my way out, very slowly while I dream of those beautiful beds. :D hugs :D
Those beds are cool. You never disappoint coming up with cool pictures and great hubs. I want the egg bed!
Oh, my bed is my best-best friend! When I lie on it, I feel like a queen, and then I always pray for all the people in this world who don’t have beds to sleep on... I am so grateful to be the fortunate owner of a bed, not to talk about the roof over my head. I’ve jumped on all your buttons, prasetio. Only you could write a hub about beds in such a lovely way. You are special, and I hope your bed is comfortable and also your best friend.
I sleep in a recliner, an army cot, a half of an L shaped sofa(the other half is missing) and on the floor. When the weather is right I sleep outside in a hammock. I saw 3 bed designs here that I can make the frame for, the bent metal tubing frame followed by the viking ship design and the post and cable support frame. The weather is great for welding and if I commit I'll do a hub on the construction! thanks 50
