The Complete Bed

Advantages: Quick to inflate
Disadvantages: Cover may not be sufficient for the winter months

...When we are not working, we like the odd occasional night out, and normally that would involve dropping Ben off to a baby sitters and all the hassle that goes with it. Sometimes Ben is all up for the idea of going to nanny and granddad's and when we first get there he's fine, but when we go to leave he doesn't want to stay, so it's the usual persuasion and then when we do leave, neither of us enjoy ourselves because we feel guilty for leaving him. We decided that the best thing to do was to get some one to come to us instead to look after him, so we did that in the form of one of Steph's younger sisters, she was happy enough to do this as it meant she would earn a little bit of cash to get credit for her phone and for magazines and make up!! The problem was we only have a two bedroom flat with only two beds, so where would she...

Review of The Ready Bed

It's a Bed...

Advantages: Easy to put together, great price
Disadvantages: See review

...For some reason, Mum always liked having a spare bedroom. We live in a 4 bedroom house, and originally, there was the Master room for mum, then a bedroom for my sister, and me and my two brothers shared the next room, leaving another free. Jaimie then moved out, leaving her room free, and Robert moved into the previously spare room. Liam and I then shared rooms. That was back in 1994 or something, and we kept sharing from then on. Eventually, however, it got to the point where we were a bit too old to be sharing a room, and so I kicked Liam out into the spare room, where he slept on a sofa. That was about 2006, and things were fine. I took apart the bunkbeds, and had one, while he was content with the settee. The first thing on our lists of needed things, was a new bed. Liam needed a bed point blank, and I wanted to get a double bed...

Review of Argos Canterbury Double Bed

* Three sheets to the wind..

Advantages: Very good.
Disadvantages: Not cheqp.

.... . Frederick Trent Stanley - as in Stanley tools, set up the business in 1843 in the United States. We all know the name, and now we know they have been on the go for a lot of years. The company do have a website - http://www.stanleyworks.com/ This site is very good, and contains a useful conversion chart and some good tool handling tips. Advantages over an old bedsheet, plastic bin bags, or even newspapers etc include the fact that old sheets tend to be threadbare, and thus more likely to allow paint to soak through, these proper sheets are not likely to be accidentally kicked aside like newspapers. They have a close weave so do not allow paint through. Of course you can just throw them in the washing machine when they do get dirty, Size - the professional painters use these measuring 12 feet by 9 (3.6 meters by 2.7 meters...

Review of Stanley Cotton Dust Sheet

bed ready made

Advantages: handy for sleepovers
Disadvantages: no pillow and expensive

...My son received on of these for Christmas from a friend of mine. She said it would become a practical present and oh my it has been. The design The design on our one is of In the night garden every childs favorite at the moment I think, Although I do believe they come in different choices, such as Fifi, Thomas the tank, Noddy, Dora and various other characters. My first ready bed has been very well designed it has a built in headboard designed for extra comfort, safety bolsters either side designed so the little un cant roll out, has an air filled mattress and a removable cover which is machine washable at 30 degrees. To inflates the bed is simple as it comes with its own foot pump, and believe me it only takes 4-5 mins to inflate. Deflation takes a little longer but is simple to do just roll the bed and make the air come out...

Review of My First Ready Bed

Beds.... Eventually

Advantages: good deals, good quality
Disadvantages: little contact from the delivery depot

...I ordered a bed from Bensons in Horwich back in February of this year, when I initially placed the order I was living in Harrogate in staff accomodation, I had spoken to my temp manager and she was OK with me having my own bed and as my room was large enough for a double I decided thats what I would go for. But due to the leave dates for the job I had the earliest I could get it delivered was going to be the 19th March almost 6 weeks away. But the deal I was getting was very good and I was in no real hurry. So I paid my deposit and waited. Then as mentioned in other places I was transferred from Harrogate to Lydd and obviously delievery to North Yorkshire was no good when I was living in Kent, so I called them as firstly asked if I could cancel the order but was told politely but firmly that it wouldn't be possible as my contract...

Review of Bensons Bed Shop

Dare you try five sheets ?!?

Advantages: A huge basket for the results of the shredding
Disadvantages: The machine gets very hot!

..., minimal packaging and minimal fuss. The basket is made from steel and feels very thick and strong. It also, surprisingly, holds loads of paper.... it took a long time to fill up and even longer to empty out into the compost bin! The shredder element is easy enough to use, but did on occasion, overheat. At first we thought that it had broken, but after leaving it for about ten minutes it was ready to go again. I must say that there is something highly addictive about shredding and it is a satisfying job with the TESCO shredder. It makes minimal noice too... We were still able to watch the TV whilst doing it! Although this shredder says it can take five sheets at a time, we would recommend caution here...three or four is the maximum and five just makes it get hot and slow. All in all though, We are really happy with it and feel we have got...

Review of Tesco 5 Sheet Cross Cut Paper Shredder - (Silver)

My First Bed

Advantages: Perefct height for a toddler
Disadvantages: it's not big enough if you have to lie beside them!

...instead of the cot! We also bought a IKEA cot duvet and duvet cover and pillow! This worked out at around £20 for it all! The duvet fitted perfectly on the bed! The matress was confusing! There is a smallish mattress like a cot one, and the 2 pillow sized one which when the bed extends, make the bigger mattress! You can buy sheets for the bed out of IKEA too, but I didn't realise that at first! The test came when putting dd to bed. She needed a little help to climb over the rail which is nicely position at one side of the bed so that they don't fall out and it can be removed! We removed ours after about 6 months as she was more than capable of sleeping with out falling out! There was plenty room in the bed for her and we could happily sit on the floor for her bedtime story. The only problem was in the middle of the night when she...

Review of Ikea Ajustable Toddler Bed

Time For Bed!!

Advantages: Ideal for very young children.
Disadvantages: None

.... - The Content - As the title suggests, this is all about the routine involved for Sam and most children before going to bed. It begins with 'When it's time for bed, there's lots for us to do'. The rest of the book depicts an activity that Sam has to undertake before getting in to bed and on each page he is joined by one of his cuddly toys, e.g. having a bath, getting a drink, cleaning their teeth, until finally they all snuggle in to bed. - Overall - This is a great book for pre-school children from about 12 months onwards: ~ It's just the right length and format given that it is a board book. ~ The font used is very clear and simple with no fancy loops or unusual 'a' letters. ~ Young children can relate to the activities and routine that need to take place prior to going to bed. ~ The use of the animals undertaking each activity...

Review of When's it Time for Bed - Nick Butterworth

READY FOR BED

Advantages: Easy to inflate, easily transportable
Disadvantages: Difficult to find punctures

...We bought two ready beds - Barbie for my 3 year old daughter, and Bob the Builder for my 5 year old son. Both my children were very excited and couldn't wait to try the beds out. The literature promises that you can blow the bed up, using the hand pump within 4 minutes - this was true - and very easy to accomplish. The bed has an inner part that is inflatable, and fits inside a snug fleecey sleeping bag. You can blow it up full - which in my view is a little hard. My children prefer it slightly soft, which molds better to their bodies. The pillow though is very hard. For my daughter it was an instant hit - she would sleep in it every night if she could. My son however, did not take to it, and has never spent a full night in it. My daughter's unfortunately developed a puncture ( which I feel was down to all the jumping...
