Queen Size Mattresses
By Jenny Watson
Queen size mattresses are amongst the most popular size. Their size makes them comfortable, as you can stretch out into your preferred sleeping position without your hands or feet hanging off the bed and without disturbing your partner. A queen mattress set is a great investment.
Queen Size Mattress Dimensions
A queen size measurement is sixty by eighty inches. When you compare this to a standard double bed at fifty four by seventy five inches you can see that it is more generous and therefore a lot more comfortable if you like to stretch out.
An Olympic queen size mattress measures sixty six by eight inches. Simmons is well known for this size and it is worth buying one of these if you want some extra room.
Buying Tips
You will need a bed frame with five or six legs to support a queen size mattress because it is bigger and heavier than smaller models. If your bed has a headboard and footboard, you will need to use a minimum of five wooden slats with three of them arranged in the center third of the bed.
An innerspring mattress will last about ten years. A memory foam or latex mattress should last double this amount of time. Some memory foam can last for twenty five years but they do vary according to how you treat them and what kind of brands you have. When it is dirty, you can clean it with a slightly damp cloth and a mild surface cleanser or with a vacuum cleaner.
A queen size mattress needs to go on top of a firm base so it does not sag. You should rotate a new mattress every four weeks for the first half a year, and then every couple of months after that.
We always should make sure that we take the measurements of our mattress to get the perfect fit ted sheets as some mattresses need queen sheet sets with deep pockets.

Staying in a 3 Star Hotel
Last week I had the opportunity to stay at a 3 star hotel. I was going to a small conference in a city not far from home but knowing it would be late at night to drive home I decided to book a room. I book the hotel on line and some times you wonder if the rooms are as nice as the pictures.
When I walk into the hotel it was every bright and clean and well kept. The room I had was just like the picture on the website.
It had a mini kitchen with full frig, 2 electric burners to cook on, a microwave oven and a dish washer all the amenities of home. There was chesterfield on one side of the room and the bed on the other.
The bed was made up with nice white cotton sheets and lots of pillows. The comforter was a chocolate color with a white design through it. There was also a matching pillow to go with the down comforter.
This room was all that I hope it would be well maintain ,clean, bright and with all the luxuries you look for when you book a hotel room away from home.
This hotel was to me a 3 + more and I would look to stay at this hotel again if it was in the area I was going to in the future.
Turn Down the Heat at Night
In these harsh economic times, it’s not unusual for American families to live on a tight budget. For me, “shoestring” doesn’t even begin to cover it. Of course my wife and I are sure to provide for our children’s every need, but sometimes there’s nothing left after grocery shopping and the other staples are out of the way. In any case, it’s taught us to live in a thrifty and energy-efficient manner.
I took special care to weather-proof our home this fall, and we’ve talked to the kids about conserving electricity and heat to drive down the bills. As it turns out, my wife and I have been able to turn the heat down several degrees at night knowing that we’ll stay warm beneath a queen goose down comforter. I’ll be looking for smaller versions of the very same comforter for the kids.
