The earliest beds ever slept on were thought to have belonged to the Ancient Egyptians in around 8000 BC, and unless you were very wealthy (The very rich slept in very ornate carved beds, sometimes decorated with gold gilt), you had to sleep on little more than a straw mat covered with coarse linen.
Thankfully, modern beds provide a much broader range of options for the more discerning adult sleeper to choose from (Unless you really do prefer straw mats). One of the first considerations to take into account when deciding which bed is the right size for you is the size of the bed. Single beds usually measure around 39 inches by 75 inches, and are usually suitable for smaller rooms where there is limited space. If you prefer to stretch out however, there are single beds which can be converted into Double beds at night. Double beds measure around 54 inches by 75 inches, while King Size beds measure roughly 76-78 inches by 84 inches. And if you really do have space to stretch out in, California king size beds measure seventy-two by eighty-four inches!
Ideally, you should have a bed which not only fits into the room, but which also accommodates the sleeper (Or sleepers). If your room is particularly small, there is probably little point in searching for king size beds which will not allow you to use the room during the day time or even give you enough floor space in which to get dressed in the morning. One solution is to use wall beds. These are double beds or king size beds which fold neatly away into the wall. King size beds and double beds which convert into sofas in the day are also available, and futons are a handy alternative to single beds for those wishing to save on space. Another key thing to remember is to choose a bed which will not restrict the sleeper from movement or a bed which is too small or short for the sleeper.
Choosing the right bedframe and mattress is also important in terms of health and wellbeing. Orthopedic beds use a range of systems such as sprung mattresses and memory foam to assist a good night’s sleep for those with back problems or other issues, and are available in a range of sizes from single beds to king size beds. Double beds with split mattresses are also available for those who wish to have features such as electrical mobility, but only on one side of the bed. Other factors also need to be taken into account, such as allergies and lifestyle changes. If you are sleeping less than usual, or if your sleeping needs have changed in any way for the worse, it is probably time to consider buying a new mattress and even a new bed, if this is where the problem lies.

There are many different sizes of bed available on the market
“And so, to bed…”
There are many different sizes of bed available on the market, ranging from Single bedsto Double beds, to King Size beds, all the way up to California king size beds, which measure a huge seventy-two by eighty-four inches. One of the first considerations will probably be the dimensions of the room the bed is to go in. Ideally, you should try to get the largest size bed possible. If you are living in a bedsit or if your room is a box room for example, king size beds or double beds are still available which either fold up into the wall or double up as sofas during the day, for those wishing to economize on space. Single beds or twin beds, as they are sometimes called, can also be used for the same purpose. Daybeds are single beds with a three-sided frame which can be converted into a seating area during the day. These solutions are particularly helpful if the room you are using is a study or living area which needs to be converted into a sleeping space at night. Another important consideration to take into account is the build of the sleeper. If the room can accommodate the bed, this is good. But if the bed cannot accommodate the sleeper, then prepare for a very restless night!
Also think about how healthy your bed is. Where you sleep has a big impact on how you sleep, and a faulty bed or mattress, as well as the wrong type of bed or mattress, can contribute to a range of problems, including broken sleep and back pain. Orthopedic beds come in a range of sizes from single beds to king size beds, and double beds with split mattresses with features such as electrical adjustability are also available for those sleeping with a partner who does not wish to be woken up.
When you are choosing a bed for a child, make sure it is the right size. There are single beds which are specifically designed for very small children and come in a range of designs and colours. If he or she has her own bed and a structured sleeping pattern, this leads to healthier sleep later in life, so it is important to set guidelines in place and to choose the right bed and mattress. If this is done, then there will also be less chance of being disturbed in the night by a small person who cannot sleep because their bed is uncomfortable. Also consider how high up the bed is. Obviously, bunk beds are ideal for older children around the age of ten or eleven, but very young children will probably sleep better (And more safely) closer to the ground. There are also convertible beds for young children in the “in-between stages” between sleeping in a cot and a bed. These are cots which convert into single beds for toddlers, so that the bed can grow with your child.

When deciding which size of bed to choose from
The average person spends two thirds of their life asleep, and the likelihood is that this will have been spent in a bed. Sleep is important to overall health and wellbeing, so it makes sense to choose a bed which is suitable for your sleeping needs.
When deciding which size of bed to choose from, you will need to make sure that it will fit into the room –and that the person or persons sleeping in it will fit into the bed! The standard measurements for Single beds or twin beds are 39 inches by 75 inches. Double beds are 54 inches by 75 inches, and King Size beds are 76-78 inches by 84 inches, so if the sleeper is of a large build or particularly tall, there won’t be any problems with feet hanging off the edge of the bed or nasty surprises tumbling out of bed in the night because there isn’t enough room. It is recommended that you also take into account any particular heath requirements you or a fellow sleeper might have, such as allergies or back problems.
Orthopedic beds come in a variety of sizes ranging from single beds to king size beds and use systems such as memory foam or springing systems to help support the sleeper. Split mattresses are also available for those sleeping in double beds or king size beds, which allow one half of the bed to be customized specifically to one sleeper’s requirements, while the other sleeper can rest undisturbed. Electric adjustable king size beds, double bedsor single bedsare also useful for those living with mobility issues such as elder persons who might find it difficult sitting up in bed.
The dimensions of a room also need to be taken into account, too. While king size beds might look like an appealing prospect, consider the logistics first. Do you really want to be tiptoeing around the edge of the bed in the morning to get ready? Perhaps it is limited space which is the problem. If this is the case -for example if you live in a bedsit- then consider sofas which fold out into king size beds.
There may be other considerations too, such as storage space. Double beds are available which come with drawers underneath, or for children single beds known as “cabin beds” have cupboards underneath which double up as great places to play hide and seek! Double beds are also available which can fold into the wall. These are a great solution if you are looking for ways to economize on space, particularly if you are in a room which needs to double up as a study or a living area during the day.

Trollbeads come in many different shapes
From my personal perspective, an individual troll bead
has its own signature. In relation to how that troll bead can become personal. trollbeads
come in many different shapes, textures and sizes. You can mix and match different troll beads to make your perfect bracelet or necklace or to present it as a gift to some with the addition of a sentimental value.
Why a troll bead?
Are you looking to for a present for your wife, daughter, girlfriend, friend or partner? Are you finding it difficult to choose a gift that can be for any age group? Are you finding it difficult to express your self to a partner? troll beads
are for any age group and could represent feelings. Troll beads can be presented as a gift. Why not express yourself in providing a gift that tells a unique story. You could show them how you feel, what you think of them, your journey with them or just a simple gift. They story can be told through shapes, colors, textures, animals, flowers, alphabet, rareness of a troll bead. Overall, you could personalize it that no one is going to have the same necklace or bracelet as you. As the troll beads fashion is changing, some become old, these are still on for sale. This provides me with the feeling of value as uniqueness as only a few people would have it.
Are you a sentimental person? Do you give a gift just for the sake of it or do you give a gift for the opposition to remember you? Have you got a budget? Do you want the person the gift is for to build upon the gift itself after you provide them with a starting point? Another way to represent trollbeads as a gift is to buy them a chain and add one individual troll bead. This could be for example a fairy tale character to express yourself or just a random choice. They can then build up the charm bracelet her self. This is done through buying individual charms and adding them to the collection on your bracelet or chain.
A troll bead can hold a sentimental value as it can be passed down through family members. For example, buying a troll bead of a heart can represent love to someone or a fairy tale character to represent a personal message though another story.
Trollbeads can also represent a journey. They are now sold world wide in many different countries.

Wearing that bracelet or necklace would remind you of the trips you have taken in life.

For example, a rough bubbles troll bead to me would represent a bumpy path in life; also I may choose a dull color to express my pain and feelings.

A little about troll beads

Trollbeadsstrated in Denmark in 1976. A person called Soren Nielson created a small silver pearl, known as the mask, from wax.

As years followed, a lady called LiseAagaard started to experiment with trollbeadsand developed an apprenticeship. She experimented with different materials and developed her first troll bead made out of glass in 2002. This became a world wide hit.
At one point I didnot know what a troll bead was I looked into them and went to different shops to see what they were. Every bead looks hand crafted and is different from one another. They come in many different shapes and sizes just to suit your preferences.
The categories of beads are:
Glass troll beads
These beads were deigned by LiseAagaard in 1980’s, but at that time it was difficult to design from small pieces of glass. However, this was possible in the late 90’s with the latest equipment and technology. Now you can find thousands of different trollbeads. Each troll bead has its uniqueness. They come in different sizes, shapes and have different textures to them too. One troll bead I seen has little glass bubbles on the outer surface which looked amazing. Others had colors swirled within the glass which made me wonder.
