Extra Long Beds – XL Beds In Today’s Bedrooms

Extra Long Beds

Long ago the majority of the bedding industry focused on standard sizes such as twin, full, queen and king sizes. It took a while for many to figure out that there was a market for consumers who needed longer beds than twin or full but less wide than a queen or king bed. So were born XL beds or also known as extra long beds. Available today in Twin XL (39″x80″) or Full XL (54″x80″) these bed sizes give you all the comforts of a longer bed but at the size time in less wide sizes so as to fit into most bedrooms. Now the preferred choice of many teenagers and young adults who are ready for adult size beds but need less width in the bed to fit into their rooms or dorms.

Your Sleep Position Says Something About You…

Different Sleep Positions

I came across a website http://twentyfourcarat.net/ that has an interesting write up about the various sleep positions one can achieve. Each position says something unique about you and so it peaked my interest.

I am apparently a “Yearner” which if you read the article will tell you what being a side sleeper says about you. I’m sure each one of us can say some of these things are true or perhaps not. But a fun read none the less. Check it out and see what kind of sleeper you are!
