Giving Your Bed a Well-Deserved Boost
At the end of the day, there is nothing more inviting than a beautiful, luxurious bed. Think soft satin sheets and a comfy mattress sitting atop a regal bed with the perfect amount of pillows and blankets enveloping your body in comfort. What? That’s not your bed? Well, then I am going to give you a crash-course in boosting the sleep-appeal of your roost!
While a new bed frame, mattress and sheets would be grand, they can be a substantial investment. I am happy to say that there are great economical alternatives to give your bed a facelift. By considering the different features of your bed from the floor up, you can quickly transform it into an ethereal escape.
Great Legs - We reviewed some Unusual Headboard Options last month (and another great one shown above) but how many times have you banged your toe on that horrible metal bed-frame? Yep, it’s that sturdy, yet ugly frame that came with the mattress. There is a way to upgrade the legs of your bed with Bed Boots. They are small decorative, hardwood boxes that are designed to cover the legs of most metal frames. They come in five different finishes. This eliminates the need for a bed-skirt or at least the need for one that reaches the floor.
Lift me Up - Do you like the regal feel of being a bit higher off the ground? There is a kid-like joy to jumping into a high bed. Many bed and bath stores, including Linens and Things, carry adjustable bed risers that increase the height of your bed; as well as the storage space beneath.
Cover Me - If you decide to forgo the bed-skirt, then you want to make sure you cover that naked box-spring. Just buy an additional fitted sheet and I promise that you will love the tailored look.
Mattress Revival – Hour for hour, you mattress is the hardest working furnishing in the house. It may not be as comfy as the day you met, but that’s no reason to kick it to the curb. An affordable visco foam mattress topper will surely put a spring in your step.
And now that you don’t have to buy a new bed and saved all that money, spoil yourself with opulent bedding in My Secret Database. Sweet Dreams!
