This year’s Met GALA was inspired by the beauty of garden and fairies- like the sensation of a good quality bamboo sheet on your bed.

The Met Gala, formally called the Costume Institute Benefit, is an annual fundraising gala held for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in Manhattan.  Every year, the celebrities attend showing their best dresses inspired by the theme of the year and giving a preview of the next fashion seasons.  This year, the theme of the party of Met GALA 2024 was Sleeping Beauties with the dress code “Garden of Time”.

Over the years, different fabrics have been created, including products that feel better on the skin, even for very sensitive people. One of those great materials that feels awesome on your skin is the bamboo fabric made with the fibers of bamboo plants. Durable and soft, “The production of bamboo fabric requires less water and pesticides compared to traditional cotton, making it a more sustainable option”, explains the website Better Goodness.

History of bamboo fabric production

According to Green Nettle Textiles website, “Bamboo textiles have been cultivated for thousands of years, particularly in the Asian continent. Bamboo textiles have been around for a while now but are pretty low in popularity, and it’s only recently that the textiles have been produced commercially”.

The website explains that in 1864 the businessman Philipp Lichstantaldt patented his method to dissolve the bamboo fiber but the costs of transporting bamboo from Asia stopped him to set a bamboo fabric factory.

It wasn’t until the 2000’s that the product became popular in the USA and around the world.

  • Sustainable: Bamboo plants are renewable, quick growing and the production requires less water than other fabrics.
  • Comfortable: Soft to the touch on your skin. Good option for all ages and skin types. (Green Nettle Textiles).

The Perfect Airbnb Mattress: A Comprehensive Guide to Your Airbnb’s Success

elevate-range

In the competitive world of short-term rentals, every detail counts when it comes to ensuring your guests have an exceptional experience. One crucial element that often gets overlooked but can significantly impact guest satisfaction is the quality of the mattress. A survey conducted by Harvard University in 2021 revealed that guests rated their sleep experience as pivotal to their overall satisfaction during their stay. This underscores the importance of investing in the right Airbnb mattress.

Quality Matters: The Key to Guest Satisfaction

It’s no secret that a good night’s sleep sets the tone for a positive guest experience. When guests wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, they’re more likely to be in a positive mood, leading to higher ratings and better reviews. That’s why selecting the best mattress for your Airbnb is essential for ensuring the ongoing success of your rental property.

Finding the Perfect Fit: What to Look for in an Airbnb Mattress

When choosing mattresses for your Airbnb, there are several key factors to consider to ensure both comfort and durability. The foundation of any good mattress is a supportive spring system. Opting for a quality pocket spring system is crucial, as it minimizes motion transfer and provides personalized support, which is especially important for accommodating couples.

Comfort is King: The Importance of Quality Foams

In addition to support, the quality of the foams used in the Airbnb mattress is paramount to guest comfort. Look for mattresses with high-density foams that offer optimal support and cushioning. It’s essential to source foams from reputable suppliers, preferably locally, to ensure quality and reliability.

Safety First: Fire Retardancy and Healthguard Protection

When selecting your Airbnb mattress, safety should be a top priority. Choose mattresses with fire-retardant fabrics that meet British Standards to minimize fire risk and ensure guest safety. Additionally, consider mattresses treated with Healthguard technology, which not only repels bed bugs and dust mites but also eliminates bacteria and fungi, promoting a hygienic sleeping environment for your guests.

Invest in Long-Term Success: Durability and Maintenance

Investing in Airbnb mattress is not just about guest satisfaction; it’s also a smart business decision. Durable, well-maintained mattresses can withstand the rigors of frequent use and provide long-term comfort for your guests. By prioritizing quality and durability, you’ll not only enhance guest satisfaction but also protect your investment in your rental property.

Great for your warranty

Most mattress warranties include a clause that voids them if there is a stain on the mattress. This means that if you accidentally spill something on your mattress without a mattress protector in place you’ll be stuck with it, or have to buy a new one.

Tips on mattress care

If you’re not using a mattress protector, these tips on mattress care may come in handy.

Reducing dust and skin cells: Regular vacuuming may help to reduce the accumulations of dust and skin cells that will build up on your mattress over time. To absorb unpleasant mattress odours, sprinkle baking soda and leave for 30 minutes, then use the vacuum cleaner to remove.

Removing liquids: When liquids spill onto your mattress, quickly blot it dry. And if you notice any stains or marks, try to remove them as best you can by gently wiping or dabbing with a damp cloth. Never use solvents or strong chemicals.

Airing: Regularly exposing your mattress to fresh air and natural light can help to discourage mould and dust mites, and the increased air flow will help to carry away moisture and musty smells.

At Chiropedic, we recommend you leave the hard work of mattress maintenance to a mattress protector.

We have a range is available in all sizes and in a number of fabrics including TENCEL®, which is ideal for sensitive skin and eczema, recognised by the Eczema Association as Sensitive Skin Tried and Tested, and approved by the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice Program.

So it’s time for ‘big kid’ bed and to upgrade the room

kid bedroom

Setting up a big kid’s room for your child

Buying a ‘big kids bed’ is an exciting transitional moment for you and your child. As your child grows, they’ll almost certainly want their bedroom to reflect the fact that they are a ‘big kid’ now.

As part of this transformation, you’ll need to update the bed and mattress from the cot to a kid-size bed that will last for years to come.

Whether you make this the time for a total redecoration, or just update the bed, involving your child in the process will give them a sense of ownership of their ‘new’ bedroom.

Here are some things to consider when you make the transition:

Keep it simple

Choosing classic pieces that will be suitable for your child as they grow up means that the investment you make now will last for many years. Complicated styling can date quickly! Timber or monochrome furniture can provide a neutral background as your child’s tastes change over time.

Decorating with wall stickers, framed posters and patterned linen is a practical way to reflect your child’s personality and allows you to change the look and feel of the room easily and often as they grow up.

Start with the essentials

Try to avoid buying too much furniture at first, you can always add more items later on. Consider the essential items such as a table, drawers and the bed.

Later on, as your child matures you can add more items such as a desk for homework and a bookshelf.

Think about functionality

While adults see the bedroom simply as a place to sleep, for a kid, the bedroom is also a place to play. Your child’s bedroom should be a functional space where they can grow, learn and rest.

Allow enough space for play rather than creating clutter with too many items. Kids love to change things around, so keep this in mind and where you can select pieces that are versatile and functional.

Involve your child

When you make your child a part of the process, you encourage them to take ownership of their space. Bring them along when you purchase the new furniture and storage solutions.

Including your child in the process of re-designing their bedroom can help to encourage your child to take initiative to use the storage spaces and keep the room tidy.

If the bed frame you select needs assembling, get your child to help! Transitioning from a cot to a big kids bed can be easier if your child feels they’ve are part of the process.

Consider the space

Most kids love bunk beds, which are an ideal way to save space when children are sharing a room. A bunk bed can be the centre of imaginative games, and as your child grows older a bunk bed provides a fun option for sleepovers with friends.

A bunk bed should have guard rails for safety. Look for a style that can be uncoupled into twin beds when your child reaches the teenage years.

Trundle beds are another fantastic option for saving space, discretely storing the spare under the child’s bed. A trundle bed doesn’t have to remain at floor level, a pop-up trundle bed means the second sleeper can rest at the height of a regular bed.

Selecting the mattress

When shopping for the bed and mattress, let your child ‘test’ mattresses to find the right one. Remember that a firm mattress won’t necessarily last longer than a softer one. The most important thing is that the mattress provides the best support as your child grows.

A good kids mattress will last for years, and should be comfortable right from the first night. When you purchase the mattress remember to add a mattress protector to make it last!

Safety first

Now that your child can get out of bed more easily, it’s important to think about safety. Ensure that power points are covered and that items in the room are secure.

Create a bedtime routine

Moving to a big kids bed is a big change for you and your child! You can mark the occasion with a new Bedtime routine that establishes evening as a time to rest and wind down. Your child’s bedtime routine might involve putting away toys before getting into pyjamas.

Reading a bedtime story on the new bed can help your child to feel comfortable. Having some familiar items like a favourite toy or blanket on the new bed can also help to ease the transition.

Saying ‘goodnight’ with a special bedtime routine can help the big new bed seem less intimidating.

Take your big kid to try out their brand new kids mattress at one of our 4 Chiropedic bedding showroom locations.

Which pillow is right for me?

pillow

One of the biggest controversies in the sleep industry is definitely the kind of pillow you are sleeping on. Everyone seems to have the ‘best’ pillow and whatever you are sleeping on, is just not good enough. But, what we often don’t realise, is that everyone is different, and everyone sleeps in a different way. This is the biggest thing to consider when you are making the decision to buy a new pillow. Forget what your neighbour or mother told you about what is right for “you”, and go out and try as many different shapes and feels of pillows that you can. Remember, you’re the one that is going to be sleeping on it, so your comfort should be the only thing to consider. There are currently a wide range of materials used in pillows which can make the decision process hard, but here is a brief explanation on a few of the most important things to consider.

SHAPE OF PILLOW:

Most pillows can be designed in two different shapes – the classic and the contour. The classic shape is the everyday pillow you can flip and rotate as many times as you like. The contour pillow is designed to never be flipped and is shaped to especially support side sleepers. Both shapes will support you as you sleep, but the option is there for comfort purposes

MATERIALS IN PILLOW:

VISCO MEMORY FOAM PILLOWS

These pillows are made of premium density Visco Elastic Memory Foam, designed for those who sleep on their back, front and side. This great material has the ability to mould to your head shape within minutes so all you need to do is, lie down and let the pillow work for you.

GEL INFUSED MEMORY FOAM PILLOWS

Gel infused memory foam pillows are designed with a cooling gel layer to assist those wanting a cooler night’s sleep. Gel is known to be quite a great cooling agent within the sleep industry.

NATURAL LATEX PILLOWS

Natural Latex pillows are great for most individual needs. They are hypoallergenic and anti-microbial which is great for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The material can be used to be high or low pillows to suit those who are particular about the height of their pillows.

BAMBOO MEMORY FOAM PILLOWS

The Bamboo material has become increasingly popular over the past few years as it is a well-known material that has many breathing qualities that are favoured by many in the market. When combined with memory foam, it can feel quite plush and soft. So there we have it, a few general points that should be taken into consideration when the expiration date on your pillow is arriving.
