Foam mattress covers are also known as mattress toppers. They are a unique piece of bedding that provides additional comfort by simply conforming to the sleeper’s body. They are available in various sizes and densities in most furniture and home décor stores.
To get the best of a foam mattress cover it makes sense to do a study of all the types available and their foam density and content.
Measure your bed accurately before you visit the store or order them online. Too small a foam topper is uncomfortable and too large is shabby. Keep in mind that the topper expands a little naturally so choose the size based on that.
Another thing to consider is quality of its content as cheap foam mattress toppers give off a very gassy smell for the first few days.
Opt for organic foam and ask about the warranty before you make your purchase.

Making Triple Sided Vanity Mirrors
Filed Under Furniture, Home Decor, Home Improvement | Leave a Comment
Triple sided vanity mirrors are not only a multi dimensional item of furniture but also provide a three way view for a better dressing up experience.
Once you decide on where to place the triple sided vanity and the design model, it’s easy to get mirrors etched or cut to any shape or size at most hardware stores or glass etching companies.
Draw an outline of the three mirrors by laying them flat on a sheet of paper. Transfer these templates on a sheet of plywood and cut them to shape. Sand them to provide a snag free work area and finish or stain if required. Apply silicon based glue on the inner side and stick the mirror on top.
Let it dry completely and proceed to join all three parts from right to left with the help of hinges that will allow flexibility to the mirrors once mounted.

A plywood shelf can be incorporated in this furniture transformation incase the depth of the chest of drawers is smaller than that of the TV.
Empty out the chest and pull out the drawers without damaging the rail. Place the chest on a work surface with the drawer edge facing up. Measure the distance from the outside rail to the parallel end at the back of the chest internally to make the shelves.
Cut out wood or plywood in the desired size and install and nail them to the side rails inside the chest. After that decide where you want your media players to be placed and drill holes on the back wall of the chest to that effect.
