For Elliot’s room I found this amazing vintage bamboo twin bed, although I bought it online and I thought it was a daybed. I love that it is as deep as a twin bed, and man have I made use of it in her first year of life. But I still wanted the look of it to be a daybed/sofa instead of a twin bed during the day. So we styled it out as such. At first I didn’t think anything of it, and then I thought, wait, why don’t we do this more for twin beds? Why let only daybeds get the full lounge-y sofa treatment? So, we went back and made a little video on how we did that – just some random Tuesday eye candy for you:1. Get a mattress cover made. An astute commenter pointed out that we didn’t put this in the video (nor in the post at first) and it really is a HUGE reason why this works. We had ours made by Loom – I gave them the exact dimensions and told them I wanted welting and they made it and sent. I honestly don’t remember how much this particular project was because they did my curtains too (which are very, very good – I know I did a post yesterday about budget readymade curtains, but if you are interested in custom curtains I have really loved their work and service).
I’ll try to find my receipt and update the cost but I would guess that it was between $200 – $300 (10 yards of quality white linen was used). It zips in the back. Now if you don’t want to go this route you could fold a quilt or of course use a fitted sheet. Once you throw a ton of pillows/blankets on it you might not notice, however if you want a truly high end look a fabric mattress cover is the way to go.2. Add a long bolster – this creates a custom look, and gives you something cozy to lean back against. We got ours, again, custom made from Loom Decor, but for a less fancy version you could just get a big body pillow. I wish that we had designed ours to be a bit taller – I think we chose 16″ but once it’s stuffed it came down to 12″ (I didn’t do well in physics as a 6th grader, clearly).3. Add a throw to help break up the horizontal line of the daybed and bolster.4. Use two large pillows on either end of your daybed to help ground the corners, and give the bed a more filled out appearance.
I like that these two are huge and match, but yours don’t have to be.5. Mix in an assortment of different sized, shaped, and textured throw pillows in a corresponding color palette. This is the fun part, so don’t be shy.6. Grab an unsuspecting pet (or child) and force them to cuddle with you, while enjoying the comfort of your well styled daybed. Or lounge in the midday sun, reading a Jane Austin novel, in your vintage linen dress. OR take a nap, because styling is exhausting work. The possibilities are endless.And if you’re into this look in particular, get it: 1. | 9.

Miracle Mattress posted the ad on Facebook for its “Twin Towers Sale” on Sept. 11, The Dallas Morning News reported.
In the video, which has since been deleted, Miracle Mattress manager Cherise Bonanno is heard saying “What better way to remember 9/11 than with a Twin Tower sale?” Bonanno goes on to describe the deals shoppers can score as two men and two towers of mattresses stand behind her. At the end, she pretends to fall on the men, who then knock down the twin mattresses. “We’ll never forget,” Bonnano says at the end after shrieking in panic. Many people were outraged by the 20-second ad that used 9/11 as a promotional tool. On Thursday morning, Miracle Mattress posted an official apology on Facebook and said customers may post their “opinions and reactions to respect an open and transparent discussion regarding the video that caused much embarrassment and anger.” The post garnered more than 500 comments, with majority of people saying the apology was unacceptable and not enough to smooth over the situation that poked fun at a tragic day in history. “I find it hard to believe you knew anyone or any of your employees knew anyone who lost their lives in 9/11!
If that were the case they would have been so disgusted with your commercial that it would have never seen the light of day! You should be ashamed!!!!!” one woman wrote. “You’re sorry you offended me? That’s not an apology I accept. Apologizing for creating it in the first place would be a start. Admitting you were WRONG for creating it is another step. There will never be an appropriate time to mock 9/11, and to do it to promote mattress sales?! Are you kidding me? Have some self respect,” another said. Hours later, the mattress company released another formal apology letter in response to the choir of complaints from the initial attempt. This time, it was written by Miracle Mattress owner Mike Bonanno and addressed to “All the Victims and Families of 9/11.” Below is an excerpt of the letter: “I say this unequivocally, with sincere regret: the video is tasteless and an affront to the men and women who lost their lives on 9/11. Furthermore, it disrespects the families who lost their loved ones and continue to struggle with the pain of this tragedy every day of their lives.
All I can say is I am deeply sorry and on behalf of the entire Miracle Mattress family, I accept full responsibility for this thoughtless and crude advertisement and will immediately hold my employees accountable for this serious lapse of decency.” I am disgusted such a video would have been conceived as a promotional tool and even more incensed it was created and posted on any social media site that represents Miracle Mattress.” Bed rails for adults that are adjustable in length and/or height.

Portable or Travel Bed Rails Great for travel, these rails are lightweight, and easy to remove, fold up & re-... Our Parentgiving Customer Care team takes any potential bed-rail buyer on a series of questions to determine what kind of bed rail is appropriate: What kind of bed will the rail be used on? Is there a box spring and mattress? Is it an adjustable bed? Is it a hospital bed? What size is the bed? Do they want the rail to be one sided or two? Will the rail be used as an assist to help them get in and out of bed or is it to keep them in bed during the night? Is there a caregiver to raise and lower the rail, or will the patient need to do that themselves? Before purchasing a bedrail for use in a facility, it is important to contact the facility and determine what can and cannot be installed. If a loved one suffers from dementia and is quite active, will they be confused and try to climb over the rails? Rather than protecting the patient, this could actually harm them more.
Many of our rails will fit beds from Twin to King. Be sure to read the descriptions for all pertinent dimensions and information. There are a few bed types where rails cannot be installed. Most rails have either a board attached which goes under the mattress, or straps which must have unobstructed access to the other side of the bed. Some bed systems that physically cannot accept rails are: Sleep Number beds (there are many different models — call us if you are not sure) Platform beds, including Tempurpedic Beds whose box springs have been removed to make the overall height lower Adjustable beds are no problem! Our best-selling EZ Adjust Bed Rail is extremely versatile, affordable and a cinch to install on adjustable or standard beds. Please take a look at the video to see how well it works and don't miss the rave reviews! Once you have answered the above questions you can start looking in the correct category for the best rail for your situation. If all of this is a little overwhelming, call us!
We are very familiar with all different types of beds and rails and will be able to make suggestions for you. Keeping your loved one safe is very important to us, as well! Can the rail be raised and lowered by the person in the bed? Many rails cannot be operated by the person in the bed. They are meant to be operated by a care giver. Be sure to read the product descriptions carefully to confirm this information. What is the difference between a safety bed rail and an assist rail? A safety bed rail prevents you from rolling or falling out of bed. An assist rail is a shorter length handle that provides balance and stability getting in and out of bed. Do I have to get rails for both sides of the bed? We have both single side and double side rails, depending on your needs. Which rail can be used in a Sleep Number bed? As suggested by Sleep Number, they do not recommend rails be used on their beds. They can cause damage to the mattress. Are bed rails dangerous for the elderly?
People at higher risk of entrapment, falls or injury from portable bed rails include those with conditions such as confusion, restlessness, lack of muscle control, or a combination. What kind of bed will the rails work in? If you have an adjustable bed, such as a Craftmatic bed, you will need to select a rail from our “Bed Rails for Adjustable Beds” sub category. For non- adjustable beds, most rails will work, provided there is a mattress and box spring. Please read the individual product descriptions of the rail you are considering for other requirements, such as bed height, where needed. Most of the bed rails are not compatible for use on a platform bed due to the way they install and the clearance needed to raise and lower them. We also have a sub category for “Hospital Bed Rails” for use on a hospital bed. What rails can be installed at the foot of the bed? None of the rails we offer are designed to be installed at the foot of a bed. Which rails can be used in an assisted living or nursing facility?
