			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people think contemporary beds are banal and uninteresting. They see the undecorated legs and sides and think it&#8217;s all about being utilitarian. But there are a lot of decorative possibilities around it, not just with the pillows and sheets, but also with the bed frame and the space surrounding it. With ingenuity, some research, and a little creativity, you can make your bedroom as elegant as any hotel&#8217;s! And if that is what you&#8217;re after, then <a title="Click here to jump to our store!" href="http://www.platformbedsonline.com/" target="_blank">Platformbedsonline.com</a> is definitely the place to be.<br />
<span id="more-28"></span><br />
The essential principle to decorating contemporary beds is customization. Take the time to deliberate on what themes and objects you like. Do you like a specific color, or a specific kind of wood? Are you passionate about books, laptops or flowers? You could just as effortlessly have found a favorite architect or interior designer to copy from.</p>

<p>It starts with platform bed frames. You shouldn&#8217;t dismiss this as a trivial choice, even if it all looks the same to you. You should start with the necessary practical aspects, like proportions and placement. You also need to plan out in advance what mattress &amp; bed sheets you will use, as well as what decor you will arrange around it.</p>
<p>A <a title="a nice selection of king size beds" href="http://www.platformbedsonline.com/size/king-platform-beds/" target="_blank">King size bed frame</a> is a prevalent choice, and this praise is deserved. The extra room it has allows you to decorate it, and in that way, express yourself with it. Some people may be too modestly-sized for these beds, but prefer having wide open spaces to sleep in, especially if they trash around in their sleep. Don&#8217;t hesitate to get what feels comfy to you. Good sleep pays off in terms of your total health and well being.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re sharing your bed with a spouse or partner,king platform beds may not be large enough. You will have to think about both your and your lover&#8217;s personal sleeping habits. And if you have children, you need to adapt to them, since they will sleep with you sometimes too. In general, it&#8217;s best to meet everyone halfway and get a bed you can all enjoy. If you think you couldn&#8217;t express yourself with a contemporary bed because you consider yourself uncreative, think again. Even the most pedestrian, straight laced person would prefer their bed to match the kinds of beds that they have been accustomed to. If you consider yourself uncreative, think: what makes me feel comfortable? What colors and sensations elicit happy feelings and memories? You should be able to identify these in the real world and make workable design choices. Don&#8217;t falter from getting help from design professionals if you need to.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s a lot of decorative potential surrounding <a title="Read more about low profile platform beds" href="http://www.squidoo.com/modern-bed-platform-bed" target="_blank">low profile beds</a>, not just with the pillows and sheets, but also with the bed frame and the space surrounding it.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Importance of Massage and its Effects on Sleep Disorders</p>
<p>Sometimes, an extremely comfortable bed just isn’t enough: no matter how well-suited a mattress may be to their body, some people simply aren’t getting enough efficient sleep. This may be due to a number of factors, but most commonly, stress is the main culprit. The inability to fall or stay asleep, insomnia, is often caused by stress or anxiety.  Insomnia, incidentally, is the most common sleep disorder. It affects approximately 58% of the American adult population at least a few nights per week. And you might have the most elegant and comfortable platform bed, but that won’t necessarily relieve your stress and improve the quality of your sleep.</p>
<p>So, what can you do?</p>
<p>One proven way to improve the quality of your sleep is to receive a nightly therapeutic massage, and the easiest and most convenient way to get this nightly massage is to invest in shiatsu massage chairs. </p>
<p>The alleged “healing power of touch” actually does have some instinctual merit; imagine a newborn, having trouble going to sleep. The baby fidgets and cries.  What do you do? If you want to lull your baby into a relaxed state, you rub his back or his belly until he calms down. This is because massage activates a person’s parasympathetic nervous system: the system that controls digestion, concentration, and relaxation. It works as a complement to the sympathetic nervous system, which is activated by stress and anxiety.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.massage-chairs.com/allchairs.html">Shiatsu massage chairs</a> are specifically engineered to replicate the touch of an experienced masseur, so many of these robotic <a href="http://www.panasonicmassagechairs.com">massage chairs</a> provide invaluable stress relief and total body relaxation.  With your muscles relaxed and your stress alleviated, you will find it much easier to fall asleep and stay asleep. This also means that you will wake up feeling refreshed and totally rejuvenated after an efficient slumber.</p>
<p>Shiatsu massage chairs also act on specific muscle groups to alleviate pains that may interfere with effective sleep patterns. Pains that commonly affect sleep include back pain and joint pain, but robotic massage chairs are designed to knead out any discomfort in these regions with innovative rollers and body scanning technology.</p>
<p>A good therapeutic massage even improves circulation, lowers blood pressure, and may even improve the effectiveness of your immune system to help fight disease.  While a shiatsu <a href="http://www.massage-chairs.com">massage chair</a> may not guarantee a completely sound sleep every night, it undeniably and significantly improves general sleep patterns and provides plenty of valuable health benefits.</p>
<p>For the best night’s sleep of your life, spend some time in your very own shiatsu massage chair before going to sleep in your comfortable platform bed. Your mind and body will thank you. </p>
