Slumberland Timor Futon

Sol Timor Hotel - Great Location and Great Value

Advantages: Location, Price, Staff
Disadvantages: Not the height of luxury

and at Spanish speeds, you'll be there before you can say siesta. Check-in is very simple (you fill in a short form) and then you are given your key (which is a tiny key on a giant piece of wood making it impossible to lose - yeah!). There are two buildings at the Sol Timor and if you've ever stayed at a Sol Hotel before, you'll know exactly what to expect. They're exactly the same as all the others - tiled floors, large open spaces and thousands of rooms! You aren't getting luxury, but it is more than adequate for somewhere where you want to spend most of your time on the beach catching rays. -The Rooms- There are lots of different types of rooms - from family rooms that accomodate up to six, down to studios that accomodate two. I've stayed in most of the different kinds, but to be honest the studios are more than comfortable enough ...

Review of Sol Timor Apartamentos, Torremolinos

FUTON? Who wants to sleep on an old pallet? .

Advantages: Chic? Maybe?
Disadvantages: Can't be good for your err "social life" nudge nudge! wink wink!

. FUTON? How 1970s, or was it '80s? I can never remember. Anyway I thought they were well out of fashion, perhaps they are making a comeback. If you are like me, you will think that futons are nothing more than old pallets thrown on the floor, covered with your Granny's old eiderdown, it is time we looked at some modern info. According to Wilkpedia, a futon is a type of mattress that makes up a Japanese bed. They are sold in Japan at specialty stores called futon-ya as well as at department stores. Japanese futons are flat, about 5 cm (2 in) thick with a fabric exterior stuffed with cotton or synthetic batting. They are often sold in sets which include the futon mattress (shikibuton), a comforter (kakebuton) or blanket (mōfu), a summer blanket resembling a large towel, and pillow (makura), generally filled with beans ...

Review of Futon Company Collection

To futon or not to futon...

Advantages: dual use, easy to store, easy to use
Disadvantages: mattress is hard to sit on and heavy to move

Available in a wide range of trendy styles the futon is definitely a state of the art fashion accessory to any household, although I would say that, I own one. You can choose from various frame styles with wood or metal being the two main components and then also mix'n'match with further choices in the mattress range. They come with complete instructions on how to put them together, however, do not underestimate the weight of the mattress! yay how heavy is that!! nice idea to think you can whip it off to clean in the crevices and turn it over in a flash - forget it, just stick the hoover nossle in. Although the mattress is the part that mainly fits in with your decor as the colours they are available in are endless, I find to sit on, without a doubt give it half an hour you too will suffer with 'numb bum syndrome'. Although they ...
