Bedroom Tips For Buying a Bed

When you are buying a new bed you are making a big decision as the bed you choose will determine everything from how much sleep you get to the layout of your bedroom. Style, comfort, cost and size are just a few of the factors you will need to consider when you are buying a new bed. To help the decision process, check out the top ten tips below.

1. Plan the layout of your bedroom before you buy a bed and also measure the size of the area available for the bed. It's no use looking to buy a king size bed if it's too big for your bedroom.

2. Even if you plan to buy your bed online, visit bed showrooms and shops and test the beds out in person. Just because a review says the bed is comfortable, it might not be suitable for your requirements.

3. Decide what style of bed you would like and which will complement your current interior design. Choose a material such as wood, metal or a fabric divan bed and then decide on whether you prefer a traditional or contemporary style.

4. Set a budget to buy a bed and invest wisely so you get the best bed you can for your money as it can be a far better long term investment than settling for a cheap bed.

5. Scour the internet for online bed sales and clearances as you could find some great deals on the beds that you've tried and tested on the high street.

6. If you are buying a bed for your guest room then if you can afford it and if you have the space, buy a queen size bed or larger so that you can accommodate couples.

7. Buy a bed with the right support for your back. Firm beds are thought to be better for the back but you have to make sure you buy a bed which fits your personal requirements so the bed is supportive but still comfortable.

8. If you have issues with mobility then when you buy a bed you should consider its height. Higher level beds are ideal if you have trouble raising yourself out of bed or bending down to get in.

9. Checkout the warranty on the bed you plan to buy and see if it is covered for defects in workmanship and manufacturing. This way if anything is wrong with your bed, you can claim a hassle-free replacement or ask for a refund.

10. When you buy a bed find out how it will be delivered and how you will move it to your bedroom. If you buy a king size bed and it can't be dismantled then you might have trouble getting it up the stairs and into your bedroom.

Just how good is your cleaning company?

Coronet provide office cleaning in central Scotland. As a Office Cleaning Glasgow based company, Coronet know a thing or two about office cleaning.

Many cleaning companies have the unenviable reputation of being considered poor in quality and sloppy in the delivery of services. As with many industries there is temptation for people with limited or no experience at all to look at the trade in general and believe they could set up a company and enter the market place.

The reality is of course somewhat different as it takes many years experience to understand the trade properly. This holds true right across the business from employing the correct staff through to understanding how to quote both competitively and accurately without cutting corners.


It is vital for instance when quoting for contracts within the health sector that there is an understanding as to how long it would take to deep clean an operating theatre. Within this field of work it is essential that the work is carried out to perfection as patients lives are at risk from infection or even death at the extreme. This means a detailed knowledge of what is required is an absolute must when costing materials and time. You can hardly for instance realize after the contract is underway that because the costings were wrong, try to cut corners either by reducing time on site or use sub standard cleaning fluids and the like in a cost saving exercise.


It is also important to recruit experience or have a mix of experience and trainees in order to ensure a greater standard of work is maintained .By employing experienced staff there is a higher probability that references will be available to allow a reputable cleaning company to measure a prospective new employee. It also helps when assessing an employee’s trust worthiness and ability to work unsupervised if this has been prevalent in their previous employment.


By ensuring a good mix of experience and trainees can be highly beneficial to the company .By carefully selecting experienced staff to work alongside trainees will have the benefit of onsite training which in turn will result in more qualified staff trained to the company’s standards.
Of course using best practice and employing the correct standard of staff does cost more than a company happy to cut corners however this should be offset by additional business being won by the former.
It is also highly probable that a company using best practice will be around for many years to come, the same is unlikely to be said of a company ran by inexperienced personnel.
