Adjustable beds used to be thought of as "hospital beds" because that is where you were most likely to see one.  They are used in hospitals not only for ease of access to the patient, but also because they have a variety of medical benefits associated with using them. 

• They redistribute pressure across your body alleviating lower back pain.  
• Elevating your head helps the stomach to retain acids, helping to avoid heartburn and acid reflux.  
• Stress is taken off the lungs when sleeping in an upright position, which is helpful to those with sleep apnea and asthma. 
• Sleeping with legs elevated increases circulation.  This can provide relief from diabetic side effects.

Table Talk - Style Your Home with Tables

Most people put a lot of thought into the pieces of furniture that they will be sitting or lying down on, but side tables are often an afterthought.  You will need places to hold other items in your home besides bodies.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has all sizes, shapes, and styles of side tables, coffee tables, and more to fill your home with. 

You are sure to find the perfect table for any room at Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach.  We carry matching sets that work beautifully together and many gorgeous pieces that aren't exactly alike but work wonderfully side by side.   

Side Tables

The ideal height for a side table is approximately 1"-2" below the arm of the sofa or chair it will be next to.  The size of the table top really depends on your needs and the space that you are trying to fit it into.  Think about whether it will be used to hold books and magazines, a table lamp, setting food & beverages on, or all of the above.  If you have a couch that doesn't sit against a wall, sofa tables are an excellent option for extra tabletop space.   

Coffee Tables

These take up more space than a side table, so you may want to do a little measuring before heading over to Slumberland Furniture to buy yours.  Generally, you will want it to stretch the length of the couch in the room, leaving about 18" between the seat and the table.  This is a good distance to allow everyone to use the table to set items down on but still plenty of room to sit and not bang your legs.  A good height to go for is 1"-2" below the sofa's seat.  

Functionality

There are more things that you can use side tables for than simply setting things on top of it.  Choosing a table with shelves underneath lets you keep the top clear for use while still keeping magazines or other objects close.  A table with drawers is great for controlling clutter and keeping it out of sight.  If you have small children in the home, round tables are much safer than ones with sharp corners.   

Table Styling Tips

After you have decided on the types of tables that will fit into your rooms, it's time to add some personality to them.  Here are a few ideas for styling your tables.

• Collect Memories:  Picture frames or photo albums, vacation souvenirs, or a memento from a special event in your family's life work well on side tables.
• Vary the Height:  Use knick knacks of varying heights to add some dimension to the look of the table.  A stack of books can make a higher "shelf" for them.  It also looks great to use items with different textures and shapes to keep it interesting to the eye.  
• Display a collection:  Almost everyone has something that they collect, and a table is a great space to show off some of that collection.  
• Less is More:  For the coffee table, this rule is good to keep in mind.  This table will probably get the most everyday use, so you don't want it to be too full to use.  

Even though adding tables to a room is sometimes an afterthought, it is definitely a necessity.  Our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store offers a wide variety of choices so that you will be able to find exactly what you need.  Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach is the perfect place to fill every room in your home.     

It's a good life!

How to Search for the Perfect Sofa

The sofa choices available at our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store come in a wide variety of styles, shapes, sizes, and colors.  Trying to narrow down all of the beautiful choices may seem overwhelming, but this blog will help you with that process.  

There are a few questions that you must consider before choosing a new sofa.  The necessary ones are the size of the space available for it and the way that it will be most used.  Once you determine those, you can move on to deciding on your favorite styles from our Slumberland Furniture collections.

How much room is available for your sofa?

First and foremost, you want to choose a sofa that you actually have enough room for.  Also, you don't want to pick one that will completely overpower the entire room.  Take a few measurements before heading in to our Lake of the Ozarks furniture store.  Look at the space that you are adding the new sofa to.  If this will be the main seating in the room, you will most likely want something a bit larger.  If you would like to add other chairs or a loveseat, you will need to look for a sofa that fits along with those other pieces.    

How much use will it get?

The type of fabric that you choose for your sofa will depend on the type of use that it will get.  If it is mainly a decorative piece, you can brave the lighter shades and daintier materials.  A sofa that will serve as the main seating for a family room will last longer with a polyester or leather covering.  These materials are also best for homes with young children and pets.  If you need extra room for occasional overnight guests, then you will want to shop for a futon or sleeper sofa.         

What style fits best with your decor?

Once you figure out the size of the sofa that will fit into the room and the type of use that you expect it to get, you can move on to the fun stuff!  It's time to think about what kind of look that you want this piece of furniture to give to the room it is in.  If you want your sofa to serve as a focal piece for the room, look for your favorite bold colors or a fun pattern.  For people that like to change decor often, a neutral shade will work the best, and you can change out colorful throw pillows when you feel the need for something new.  Consider the shape, too.  Sectionals offer the chance to change up the seating arrangements occasionally.  Some sofas feature a sleek, traditional look, while others look like big fluffy pillow tops, inviting you in for a cuddle.      
  

SOFA SHOPPING TIPS

You can begin your sofa shopping experience online, browsing through the choices that we have available to you.  When you visit our furniture store in Osage Beach, you will want to take a seat and test them out.  Sit down and lean back, making sure that it has a comfortable feel.  Try out the springs too.  A good-quality sofa will be made with sinuous or serpentine springs constructed of heavy metal.  They should not squeak when you gently bounce up and down.  


Now you are ready to take a look at our Slumberland Furniture selections online. Find a few favorites, check out or sales ad, then make your way to our local furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks.  Our knowledgeable sales staff will be happy to help you find what you are looking for and answer any questions that you may have.  Hopefully by the end of your visit we will be arranging the delivery of your brand new sofa.      

It's a good life!

Resolve to Get Better Quality Sleep This Year

January gets most people thinking about what they want to do better than last year. The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks can guarantee you that getting a good quality night's sleep is one of the best New Year's resolutions that you will ever make.  Slumberland Furniture is an expert when it comes to sleep, and the following tips will help you to improve your own.  The result will be a life that is more productive, energized, and healthier.   

Get comfortable.

One very important key to getting a quality night's sleep is your mattress.  If you wake up stiff, numb, or achy often, or if your mattress is more than 10 years old, it's time for a new one.  When mattress shopping, bring along your favorite pillow and try out the mattresses that you are interested in.  The perfect one should offer proper back and body support for your sleep style.       

Calm your senses.

You get a much better night's sleep if the room is cool.  A temperature of about 67 degrees is ideal.  The darker the room the better.  Blackout curtains or a sleep mask can help with this.  Certain calming scents, such as lavender, can help lull you into slumber too.  

Unplug

Checking your cell phone or watching TV before bad is a habit that you should try to break.  Digital screens can cause your body to want to stay awake.  Turn all electronics off at least 2 hours before you plan to go to sleep to give your mind and body time to wind down.  

Watch your food and drink intake.

You should also do your best to stop eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime, but don't go to bed hungry either.  If you must eat, have a light snack like a banana or a bowl of cereal.  Avoid alcohol before sleeping.  It may make you drowsy, but it may affect the quality of your sleep.  Caffeine intake can cause a lot of people to stay awake.  If that is you, try not to have any after noon.

Beware long naps.

Sleeping too much during the day can cause you to have trouble sleeping through the night.  Naps are most helpful if you limit them to 20-30 minutes and take them early in the day.  

Develop a routine.

Doing the same thing every night before you go to bed develops a routine, cuing the body that it is time to sleep.  If you need help winding down from the day's activities, good things to add to your routine are writing in a journal, meditating, or reading.  

All of these tips will aid you in reaching a full night of deep, restful sleep.  The best mattress store at the Lake of the Ozarks believes that getting a good night's sleep is a wise New Year's resolution to make, and an extremely important one to keep. Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach can offer you the mattresses, pillows, and bedding for a great night of sleep.  Developing a routine and sticking to it is up to you.  We know you can do it!     

It's a good life!

Natural Alternatives for Cleaning Furniture

The chemicals in many store-bought cleaners can be rough on furniture.  The best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks knows a few "green" ways to take care of your home items that are easy, economical, and will help to keep your furniture looking its best.  

Slumberland Furniture in Osage Beach sells only the very best quality home furnishings in our store.  They are built to last, but keeping them clean and in good condition is your job once you take them home.  Here are a few all-natural ways to take care of your furniture and the house that you keep it in.  

Many common household products that you already keep in your cabinets are also excellent cleaners.  

Baking soda is great for cleaning and scouring.  It deodorizes and even softens water.  Sprinkle a little on a damp sponge and gently rub to remove ink, pencil, crayon, or marker spots on walls and painted surfaces.  You can also mix some with warm water to form a paste that is a great all-purpose cleaner.      

Lemon juice is effective against most household bacteria because it is one of the strongest food-acids.    

Olive Oil helps to keep natural oak furniture moisturized, keeping it from drying out and cracking.  Olive oil mixed with coarse salt works well for cleaning cast-iron pans in the kitchen.    

White vinegar offers many different cleaning benefits.  It can remove mildew and odors, cut grease, and is good for removing wax build-up and hard water stains. Sponge it onto the residue left over from a sticker or price tag, wait 15 minutes, and then the gunk will rub right off.   

Cornstarch can be used to shampoo carpets and rugs, polish furniture, and clean windows.  If you sprinkle some cornstarch onto a fresh grease spot on the carpet and wait 15-30 minutes, you should be able to vacuum it away.  

A little searching through your kitchen cabinets can save you money on cleaning products and offer you a natural alternative to harsh chemicals.  When you buy furniture for your home, you want it to look like new for as long as possible.  Proper care and cleaning techniques will help with this.  Your Slumberland furniture will stand the test of time, and taking care of it will keep it looking its very best.      

It's a good life!

Find the Perfect Fit for Your Dining Room Table

'Tis the season for entertaining.  Slumberland Furniture realizes that during the holidays, we find ourselves around the dining room table a lot, whether it's a formal meal, family game time, or morning cups of coffee and small talk.  All of the extra time around this multi-functional piece of furniture may make you take a second look at your current dining room table.  If you are ready to make an update, the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has some advice for finding the perfect fit.  

Your dining room table should match your design style, but there are also a few technical aspects to consider when choosing one for your home.  It will need to fit sensibly into the room and offer enough space for the number of people that will be using it regularly.  These tips should help you to decide exactly what you need to be looking for.   


SIZE

The scale of the table to the room is very important.  It shouldn't overwhelm the space, but it still needs to be large enough for everyone to eat comfortably.  A few guidelines to follow to choose the best sized table for your home are:

• There should be 3-4 feet of space between the edges of the dining room table and the furniture or walls surrounding it.
• Each diner needs to have about 2 feet of space.
• The suggested amount of space between the table top and a light fixture above it is 30 inches.
• If the table will be placed on a rug, make sure that enough space is left to push chairs out without getting caught on the edges of the rug.

SHAPE

The shape of your dining room table seems like a style decision, but it also lends to the functionality.  Different table shapes cater to different needs.  

• Rectangle:  This is by far the most popular table shape purchased.  It can accommodate large groups of people and fits nicely with the shape of most dining rooms.  It is perfect for narrow spaces because it lets foot traffic flow nicely
• Oval:  Many diners can also fit around an oval-shaped table.  These are nice for adding a few curves to the design of a room, especially if much of the other furniture has straight edges. 
• Square:  Smaller rooms work well with a square table, and leaves can be added if you ever need a little more room for guests.
• Round:  Also nice for smaller rooms, this shape is wonderful for more intimate interaction at the table.  A Lazy Susan is perfect for the center of a round table.

STYLE

Once you decide the size and shape of the table that will work the best for your dining room, it's time to pick out the style.  If you entertain often, you may lean toward a formal look, or if your table is used daily for family meals, you may be more interested in one with more of a "homey" feel.  Our Osage Beach furniture store offers a wide variety of styles.  A little searching through our diverse inventory is sure to find plenty of options that are perfect for what you want in your dining room.  

Slumberland Furniture's knowledgable sales associates are also ready to help you narrow down your decision.  Tell us what you are imagining for your home, and we can point you in the right direction.  When you are ready to update your dining room furniture, or any other room in the house, visit the best furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks for all of your home decor needs.     

It's a good life!
