How To Make Your Bedroom Cooler Without The Use Of Aircon
It seems that the heat in Singapore is ever getting hotter, and electricity bills are shooting record high due to our unrelenting use of the Air-Con.
Here are some tips that would help keep our rooms cooler and electricity bills lower.
Use curtains in lighter hues like neutral colors, white, beige, subtle brown, subtle pastel colors etc. These light colored curtains will reflect the light out falling on them from outside. This will keep your room naturally cool without having to turn on your ACs or coolers. On the other hand, dark colored curtains have larger tendencies to absorb and allow the heat to enter in the room making it hot throughout the day. In case, you are hell bent on buying a dark colored curtain as it matches the color of your furniture, then, stick foil paper on the side of the curtain which is exposed to sun so as to reflect maximum rays possible.
Usage of ceiling fans instead of an aircon or cooler in every room will fetch you a 40 % fall in the total electric energy consumed Click to Continue Reading

Did You Know That The Way You Sleep Tells Alot About Your Personality?
From the confident, purposeful stride to the timid entry of an individual, every action of his provides an inkling about his personality. The way he sits and stands, talks and eats are all a manifestation of his inner traits. People give themselves away by specific behavioral traits. Hence, many companies while recruiting staff rope in a psychologist to get some clues about the candidate’s personality. Personality is reflected not merely in waking activities, and extensive studies by psychologists and sleep specialists reveal that the sleeping position of an individual also provides insights into his personality and health.
Most people fall asleep in a specific position, lying straight on their backs or on their side. However, their position changes through out the night, as has been witnessed in many sleep clinics. Two published reports used expansively in this connection include the groundbreaking analysis of two scientists, Dr. Samuel Dunkell, a renowned psychiatrist Click to Continue Reading

The Problem of Buying Mattress And Why You Should Buy From Beds.sg
Sorry if the title of this post sounds a little self-promoting and cheesy, but the point I want to make have to be taken seriously if you want to avoid sleeping on a unsuitable mattress for years to come or spending money again on a second mattress shortly after your first purchase.
The Problem with Mattress Showrooms
Matttress showrooms are design and built to showcase the mattresses in the best posible light. The powerfully airconditioned and soft lighting atmosphere makes the mattresses displayed unexecptionally comfy when you first see and lay on it.
Whether or not the mattress will be suitable for you in the long run, sometimes cannot be determined within the 10 minutes you spend lying on it. It takes a few nights of actual sleeping to actually determine if the mattress is suitable for you.
For most mattress shops, you are not allowed to exchange the mattress once delivered. Most people don’t bother to ask about the exchange policy because it seems that nothing would go wrong if they have tried and tested the mattress in the showrooms.
Some mattress shops don’t even allow exchange even before the mattress are delivered. And, since a deposit is usually made when purchasing, that puts the consumer in a very disadvantageous position.
How is it Different at Beds.sg?
First, we do not collect a deposit, we only collect payment when the mattress is delivered to your residence. All we ask for is that you inform us 48 hours before delivery, should you need to exchange the mattress.
Second, we allow exchange of mattress after delivery should you feel that the mattress is uncomfortable after a few nights of sleep. As long as the original plastic cover is intact and within 7 days of delivery, we will exchange the mattress for you. (a $50 transportation charge will apply).
With such a policy, you can shop risk free and avoid the unneccassary trouble of sleeping on a unsuitable mattress.

So, immediate with my son’s help we get rid the head board. 2 hours later we still saw some bed bugs coming out from the mattress too. Now I’m so scared to sleep on my bed and instead I sleep on the floor”
