How to choose the right bed

When shopping for your bed frame and other cheap bed deals, it’s important to make the right choices for your household’s needs. There’s the size of the room to consider, the size of the bed (king, queen, full, twin, or twin XL), the look and decor of the room, and if you’ve got more than one child, you may benefit from looking at deals on bunk beds. There’s also the matter of personal preference: Would you rather have an adjustable, metal, or wooden bed frame? There are factors to reflect on for each category.

Consider the size of the room

It is recommended that you measure your room and the area where your bed will be, adding on a few inches for the bed frame (and headboard/footboard, if they’re included) before you get it. Is there plenty of room (2 or 3 feet?) around the edges of each side where you’ll want to move around? (You can forget about the side where the headboard meets the wall, of course). You don’t want the bed to dominate the room more than necessary. If there isn’t enough room, consider a different bed frame. There are normally lots of deals on beds by size if you enter the proper search criteria. Here are a few other basic points to consider on each type of bed frame:

Adjustable bed frames

Adjustable bases are great for many reasons. Folks with problems like snoring, acid reflux, or various types of body pain can benefit tremendously from having an adjustable frame. Challenges can arise when it’s time to move the bed due to the weight of adjustable bases, however, and they can also break down — which may end up resulting in a costly repair. You should also double-check your mattress to make sure it works with an adjustable base. If not, you may need to spend more money on a new mattress. Try to find a bed deal that includes the best deal for beds and frames together if this is the case.

Metal bed frames vs. wooden frames

Metal bed bases have a few advantages over wood and vice versa.  Metal frames, for instance, are often lighter and easier to maneuver, while wood can be heavier but also add more character to the room. Wood bases usually offer more options for customization but are also more expensive. Metal is usually bug and water-resistant, while wood is quieter, more eco-friendly, and recyclable. Wheels are often available on either type if they are heavy or difficult to transport.

As you shop for the best deals on your bed frame, keep these points in mind and be sure to take and keep track of any measurements you need to consider when choosing the right size base.

Tile that looks like wood: Where to find it and why to install it
You won't even be able to tell this tile isn't wood
Dust mopping a hardwood floor

Real hardwood looks stunning in any home. Its warmth, feel, and design complement almost any style. However, real wood comes with its set of challenges. It can damage easily, doesn't work well in high-traffic areas (or with some kids or pets), and doesn't hold up in rooms that contain high amounts of moisture or humidity, like a primary bathroom. If you love the look of wood but want to avoid these issues, there's a simple answer — tile that looks like wood.

Tiling with wood-like flooring is an up-and-coming option because it's low maintenance, easy to care for, won't scratch, and is available in a wide variety of colors and designs. Here are a few places we love it.

Be a kid again: Adult beanbag chairs you can’t live without
We love all the comforts of adult beanbags

Being an adult doesn't mean you have to forego all the comforts of childhood, and that includes furniture to relax in. Adult beanbag chairs are all the rage since the pandemic, where we work and play in the same space. They are a cozy spot to curl up and read a book, watch a movie, or take a little Sunday nap. There are different types of adult beanbag chairs, depending on what you plan to use them for, so here's what to look out for and how to choose the best option for you.

What kind do you pick?
Both XXL and XXXL sizes are considered adult-sized beanbags. They should be between 4 and 5.5 pounds full of beans, respectively. Once you have the sizing down, it comes to texture, color, material, and support. If you're planning to use your beanbag to work, you'll want one with back support. Conversely, if you're planning to use it entirely for lounging purposes, you won't need to list body support as a top consideration.
Best adult beanbags
If you're on the fence about how much you'll use a beanbag, check out this Big Joe Milano beanbag on Amazon. It's a small investment at under $50 and comes in a ton of colors. It's also stain resistant and has good support. On the other end of the spectrum, if you're looking for the beanbag to end all beanbags, check out the Lovesac SuperSac. Most options are over $1,000, but they are durable, washable, and luxurious.
