August Bank Holiday 2011 Delivery Info

Be prepared for guests this August Bank Holiday

When preparing for visiting guests it’s always an exciting experience, in anticipation there’s always the busy time of cleaning and preparing a spare room or a comfortable place to sleep. Bank Holiday delivery times should also be at the forefront of the mind, as delivery days and times are affected by the short working week.


The 2011 August Bank Holiday is Monday 29th, so to take delivery of an item ordered online it is strongly recommended to order the previous week well in advance should a delivery issue arise. Over Bank Holidays the road system in the UK is always put to the test as holidaymakers start to travel to their chosen destinations.


In terms of the choice of sleeping solutions for guests, Comfy Living has some recommendations to match to your needs and requirements.


Chair Beds


Chair beds are constructed from a firm foam-like filling and are best suited to children up to the age of around 10 years old. These are often called ‘Z beds’ or ‘flop out beds’ due to the simple nature of construction and children are easily able to use these in their bedrooms.


Futons


For small rooms where space saving is paramount and to accommodate guests would be a struggle with buying a spare bed, consider buying a futon to help with holiday sleepovers. Futons are versatile items of furniture, quickly changing from a sofa to a bed within seconds. Futons are available with a metal or a wooden frame and are suitable for adults of all ages.


Divan beds


Divans are a seen as a permanent addition to a spare room. Budget divans have no storage in the base and come with a mattress suitable for occasional use. Options with upgrading divan beds include storage options (drawers or slide storage) with a mattress which is deeper than a budget range, perhaps to a hand tufted variety, or memory foam.

Cheap Chair Beds now on sale - 100% cotton drill and 17 colours

Buy a cheap single chair bed for your child this summer online with Free UK Delivery £39.99

A child's room should be a place of comfort, convenience utilise space saving furniture whenever possible. A chair bed or a single futon is a top thing to consider when you are choosing how to furnish a child's room. Chair beds are great for school holidays, and for sleepovers, now we are nearly at the end of term time it is time to look around and see what's on the market.


Here's Comfy Living's top 3 reasons to choose a sofa bed or single futon for your home:

1. A comfortable sofa chair bed is an ideal way to read bedtime stories with cuddles. Foam cube chair beds from Comfy Living have a 100% cotton drill cover for the chair bed comes in a variety of colours to potentially disguise any kiddy accidents with food and drink etc. Choosing a dark colour chair bed will invariably be a rewarding decision.

2. Children enjoy using their hands, and a chair bed that folds from one into the other in seconds is a huge achievement and kids love to get stuck in. To let them make up their own bed in the evening is part of the whole sleepover experience!
3. The culture of sleepovers changes all the time but the basics remain the same. It's good to have enough space to have a spare bed for your kid's friends, but in reality, space is valuable and this is when a chair bed is useful. For the older children you could treat them to a faux suede single chair bed in a choice of colours.

As you can see, a single futon or chair bed in a kids room would certainly get plenty of use over the years and is a wise investment. If you are looking for a normal bed for a child, you can find a good range here.
