A Tempur Pedic for Henry
0 Comments Published by Lilian June 17th, 2008 in MATTRESS Kids, MATTRESS News.Young kids are usually addicted to cartoons and toys. But not Henry…he’s addicted to theTempur-pedic mattress but has never really tried having one for his own. So obsessed was the boy about having to own one, that the company gave him a Tempur-pedic mattress as gift. Watch his amusing story:

The Ultimate Baby Sleep Positioner is made of memory foam mattress that helps prevent “flathead” syndrome common amongst infants.
It features the following:
* Cover top: 80% cotton, 20% polyester; airflow: 100% polyester; cover bottom: 80% cotton, 20% polyester; filler: 100% polyurethane foam
* Adjustable wings to keep baby from rolling, adjustable incline and adjustable head support
* Soft, jacquard cover is warm in winter and cool in summer
* Sleek, one-piece design with no wedges
* Removable, machine washable cover
The Ultimate Baby Sleep Positioner is mobile, easy to transport and store. However, others have remarked it’s kind of a bulky sleeper. Comfort though is exceptional.

Bunk Bed dangers increase in the summer
0 Comments Published by Lilian June 15th, 2008 in MATTRESS Kids.With kids mostly enjoying summer in camp or at home, when their active imagination and restlessness run wild, bunk beds look like a convenient playground to them. It also increases the chance for accidents to happen. So, parents, be on the alert for possible injuries.
Even if your child is not as restless as some kids, it’s still best to be cautious. If you’re sending kids to camp, make sure that the beds are safe.
A study published in the June issue of the journal Pediatrics reviewed 16 years of data collected on injuries and found, on average, 36,000 bunk bed injuries happen every year. More than one in four (27%) involve head and neck injuries, generally caused by falls from the top bunk or the ladder. Accidents are more common still when the child in the top bunk is younger than 5; one in five bunk bed injuries led to a broken bone.
Children are at risk of suffocation, as well. If they are small and the spaces between guardrail slats are more than the 3 1/2 inches allowed by current regulation, their heads — still large compared with their bodies — can get caught as they try to wiggle down. But though three-quarters of those injured are 10 or younger, the researchers from the Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, found a surprising rise in injuries among young adults 18 to 21 — more of whom may be bunking in college dorms, military units and other group residences.

A swing attached to the bed sounds like a fun idea. But I’m not sure how safe this is. The frame should be sturdy enough for climbing, the roof net must always be kept secure.

There is an optional safety mat provided but personally, I’m still not sold on safety for this.
For an adventurous kid, this is like a dream bed though.

What a cave bed can do to a child’s imagination is priceless. Arched and shaped like a cave, it can be anything the child wants it to be. Inside it are shelves and a lamp, to encourage reading.
The top part of the “cave” is covered in fabric, which can be removed at any time while the side has a drawbridge providing the illusion of protection (from dragons and beasts). On a more functional side, the drawbridge serves as a table. The cave bed also offers privacy, a secret hiding place from ghosts and goblins in dreams.
A standard sized kids mattress should fit it.
