So the bed is where you should invest the most research and money, she says. Plan to decorate the room around the bed.

Here Donaldson shares some other tips on creating a welcoming guestroom, from bed to bath and beyond.

How large should your guest bed be?

'It depends on your guests, what they're comfortable with,' Donaldson says. If in doubt, go with a queen-sized bed, she says, but don't go cheap. There are other places in the room where you can save money.

'The important thing is the mattress. The bed frame is secondary,' although men tend to prefer a bed without a footboard, since their toes tend to jut past the end of the bed, Donaldson says. She recommends a Goldilocks method of choosing a mattress - basically, try it out for yourself before you buy.

Don't buy a mattress that feels too soft or too firm. When it feels just right to you, that's probably the bed you'll want for your guests

Still, the Bears erased a 5-0 start by losing five of the next six games.

'He's been pretty consistent, but you can see it weighing on him,' tailback Justin Forsett said.

Tedford was already known for his work ethic and schedule, which includes an often-used air mattress in his office. Losses have changed nothing.

'There are many nights when we don't see him go home,' left tackle Mike Gibson said. 'His love for the game is more than anyone I've ever known.'

But during a 6-5 season is there more to be done? Should things be done differently? 'It's impossible to do that,' Tedford said. 'We work and sleep here. Nothing has changed that.'

Not even a perpetual cough

Plane-parts seller looking at old tire plant BY BILL WILSON The Wichita Eagle
An Augusta aircraft parts distributor has added investors and could expand in Wichita.

Wichita oilman Dave Murfin and businessman Scott Hall, partners in Global Parts Inc., have filed for industrial zoning for the former Mid-Continent Tire and Rubber plant at 1000 E. 13th St.

The building will be renovated next spring, Hall said, with an eye toward a possible expansion of Global Parts, operated by Troy Palmer.

The 53,700-square-foot building was the home of Air Capital Mattress, a manufacturing business owned by Dean Schlabach and Bud Palmer.

Hall said Global Parts has expanded its inventory of older aircraft parts.

'It's been a good, solid business for three or four years,' said Hall, who owns Hall Industrial.

'The opportunity came up for them to purchase a significant quantity of legacy parts, so a group of investors came together that now owns part of Global Parts to assist them with that.'

Murfin, president, and chief financial officer Bob Young said the building was purchased to be home to a 'new business housing aircraft parts.'

'It's got absolutely nothing to do with the oil and gas business,' he said.

But Hall said the building's future is up in the air.

'At this point, it may have shifted a little bit because they want to stay close to their current operations in Augusta,' he said

We decorated the nursery about 4 months before our baby was born; neutral colors as we didn't know whether it would be a boy or girl. I wanted a modern looking crib with simple styling as that is pretty much how our home is styled. I chose the Isabella in natural beech.

I'm glad we did out the nursery well before hand as we had to wait 10 weeks for the Bellini crib to arrive! The store where we bought it said that this was pretty much the norm as it's such a popular baby bed. We also bought the mattress to match; it's sold separately.

Anyhow, assembling it was straightforward as the instructions were easy to follow; my husband put it together in about 15 minutes - and he's no DIY expert. It looks perfect in the nursery. I love the slightly rounded headboard and footboard and I particularly like the round legs. The 'roundiness' is offset by the simple flat slats on all four sides

Best thing is, you also can fold it up and take it with you to use in your chair at work and at home.

Snoozer Full Body Pillow ($85) This candy-cane shaped pillow is perfect if you sleep on your side. You can wrap yourself around it in any way which makes your limbs most comfortable. Yes, it is comfortable. But in fairness I should note I tried it out on an out-of-this-world memory foam mattress. So, what comfort came from the mattress and what came from the pillow is a little foggy for me.

Porta crib mattresses

What gluing does is that the lumps of the convoluted layer are flattened, so no air can possibly pass through it.

What many manufacturers do, rather sneakily in my opinion, is not to glue together the layers at the side of the mattress. The can show off this new fangled layer to potential customers and instill the illusion that air can freely pass through the convoluted layer.

But let's suppose they claim that by not gluing the sides of the mattress, air can still circulate freely enough to cool the mattress down. This is clearly a lot of nonsense. The convoluted layer is first covered by the mattress cover itself, then by sheets, then by blankets, etc

Sealy baby mattress

When Julian Schnabel � painter, filmmaker, visual-field agitator (have you seen his deep pink, 17-story building in Greenwich Village?) � came through town a few weeks ago to promote his new film, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, his boisterous reputation of course preceded him. �Larger than life� is how the film�s star,
Mathieu Amalric (Munich), describes him. �Julian is a man of large appetites. He never sleeps � he is always eating, drinking, talking, inventing � .�
So Schnabel isn�t asleep when his assistant escorts me into his quarters at the Four Seasons, but he is clearly tired. Too tired, it seems, to do this interview anywhere but where he is � in bed, under the covers, with sunglasses on. He lifts a large paw and motions to me to sit down beside him on the high mattress, where, unable to keep one foot on the ground, I struggle to maintain professional poise.
Then the Texas-born artist, clothed in the same plaid shirt he wore at roundtable press interviews two hours earlier � where he arrived straight from pool, with wet hair, flip-flops, and sarong (somewhat of a trademark for him these days) � removes his shades, rolls over to face me, and hugs a pillow like a teddy bear.
�Would you like a drink?� he asks. �What do you like? Scotch?�
Two minutes later, the assistant returns with a tray bearing three glasses of extra fine scotch on the rocks � one for her, him, and me. She leaves, we clink, and another of Amalric�s observations rings through my head: �Julian always tries to break professional habits.�
In the context of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, for which Schnabel received Best Director honors this year at Cannes, such iconoclasm ranged from making the film in French � over the protests of bottom-liners who had planned it to be in English � to assembling his cast without auditions

A family escaped its apartment in the 200 block of Taft Court after a mattress fire about 7:30 p.m. today.
Battle Creek Fire Chief Larry Hausman said the family was able to get out before rescuers arrived at the apartment in the River Oaks complex. The burning mattress was extinguished quickly, and firefighters then worked to rid the building of heavy smoke.

HENSEL: Every year, house fires wreak destruction on property, and lives. One way of reducing these fires, is through laws that require household items to be more fire resistant. So manufacturers apply fire retardants chemicals to furniture foam, electronic equipment and other consumer products.

NANCY FORD, Consumer Product Safety Commission: What we sought to do is limit the intensity and the spread of the fire. This will give consumers added time to discover the fire and escape their homes.

HENSEL: They may slow fires, but some scientists now warn these fire-retardant chemicals could potentially be unleashing a much bigger threat to human health when they are breathed in by people and pets, possibly causing neurological and developmental damage, as well as cancer

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $2.4 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, compared with $946,000, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the same period last year. Excluding restructuring and related charges, net income for the first six months of fiscal 2008 was $3.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share. Excluding restructuring and related charges, net income for the first six months of fiscal 2007 was $2.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share.

Frank Saxon, chief executive officer of Culp, Inc., said, 'We delivered a solid performance in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 during what has continued to be a challenging retail environment for the furniture industry. Our year over year sales gains and profitability improvement reflect continued growth in our mattress fabrics segment. While our upholstery fabrics sales have been affected by very difficult industry conditions, our China platform and lower operating cost structure have positioned us to operate more efficiently during the downturn, remain profitable on lower volumes and benefit from any upturn in demand. Additionally, we were pleased with the significant improvement in cash flow from operations during the first half of this year.'

Mattress Fabrics Segment

Mattress fabric (known as mattress ticking) sales for the second quarter were $36.0 million, a 53 percent increase compared with $23.5 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. This trend reflects the incremental sales related to the company's acquisition of ITG's mattress fabrics product line in January 2007 and some organic growth. Mattress fabric sales represented 56 percent of total company sales for the quarter. On a unit volume basis, total yards sold increased by 48 percent compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2007

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 28, 2007 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) -- Culp Inc. (NYSE:CFI) after Wednesday's closing bell reported fiscal second-quarter net earnings of $1.55 million, or 12 cents a share, up from $812,000, or 7 cents a share, during the year earlier.

The latest results include $503,000, or 4 cents a share, in after-tax restructuring and related charges. Excluding these charges, earnings were $2.1 million, or 16 cents a share.

The High Point, N.C.-based maker of upholstery and mattress fabrics posted revenue for the three months ended Oct. 28 of $64.3 million versus $59 million last year.

For the third quarter, sales in the mattress fabrics segment are expected to be up 30% to 35%, Culp said. Sales in the upholstery fabrics segment, are expected to be down about 15% to 20%, due mostly to lower sales of U.S.-produced fabrics.

Overall, the company said it expects sales for the quarter to be slightly higher than the year-ago period.

Net earnings are expected to come in between 4 cents and 8 cents a share, Culp said

Arizona - Melea Hoenshell sobbed Tuesday in Mesa as she looked up at her apartment engulfed in flames and the black hole that was once a bedroom. More than 50 firefighters from Mesa, Tempe and Gilbert swarmed the Fiesta Park Village apartments at 839 Westwood near Alma School Road and Eighth Avenue, battling a fire that started just before 3 p.m. inside a bedroom in Hoenshell's unit and spread through the attic of the building, said Mesa fire spokeswoman Marrisa Ramirez Ramos.
Hoenshell said she had just finished eating lunch with her children when her 6-year-old boy came running into her room.

He came in and said 'Mom! Mom!, the mattress is on fire,' Hoenshell said. I said: 'Oh no! What did you do?'

Hoenshell rushed in to find the bottom bunk bed on fire. It spread so quickly and spewed so much smoke she couldn't put it out.

The little boy suffered burns on his hand, but the Hoenshells and others in the eight-unit building all escaped. Eleven people were displaced, and fire officials helped families seek aid.

Neighbor Bob Crawford, 56, sat on the grass outside his apartment and watched the orange flames consuming the roof above his unit

'Egyptian cotton popped in my head immediately, because everyone knows how durable it is, how soft, and how it is worth every dollar people pay.'
In Pictures: Five Ways To Make Money Off Your Homeland
Last year, Amer launched Meditlantic Importers in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Amer brings in Egyptian cotton mattresses and sells them to high-end hotels in the resort area. So far, she has landed contracts with two hotels to supply some 240 mattresses at an average of $750 apiece. She hopes to add more hotel clients--and eventually turn a profit--by the end of next year.

Amer began by researching Egyptian mattress manufactures and hit upon Master Bed, a Lebanese company with a factory based in Egypt. She raised some scratch from family members to buy a few mattresses, not knowing if she would be able to unload them. Luckily, she convinced some hotel managers to take a few off her hands, raising enough cash to fund her next order.

To manage inventory (the key to importing), Amer's sales contracts stipulate that hotels must take the entire order; that way, Amer doesn't get stuck with a stack of unwanted mattress. Amer demands half the cash up front, which she uses to buy more mattresses, and the other half upon delivery; she also agrees to eat the cost of all damages during transit. On the supply side, Amer pays Master Bed half the order when she places it, and the other half after it clears customs in the U.S

Conversation ceased and all of us could feel the twitch of muscles starting to cramp, no doubt due to the salt loss from our sweating. Even as we began the descent into Lake Vera there was little to be said. After almost eight hours of walking we just wanted to get there. It's amazing what a cup of pea and ham soup, a wash down in a mountain stream, dry clothes and the prospect of a soft, inflatable Thermarest mattress will do for the psyche of the exhausted bushwalker.

Within two hours of taking up residence in the bright and cheery circa 1979 Lake Vera Hut, our enthusiasm had returned.

The next morning, after a sleep-in, the four of us decided to push on to Lake Tahune. So far the weather had been fine, but there were no guarantees it would stay that way.
