Retro Yet Modern Lines in a Lifestyle Solutions' Convertible Sofa

I was recently looking online for a convertible sofa, and the ones made by Lifestyle Solutions really caught my eye. The reason why was because of its design and styling. The straight and simple lines reminded me of the mid-twentieth century, perhaps the 1950's and 1960's. Well, seeing many sofas that I liked, I decided to do a bit of research about the company.

Leather Futon Sofa

Lifestyle Solutions is one of America's fastest growing furniture companies, founded in 1991. They have distribution centers in California, New Jersey, Florida and Vancouver, Canada. They have worked hard to build a reputation as a leader in style and design, as well as upholding a standard of exceptional quality and value that goes above and beyond what is expected in the industry.

Leather Futon Sofa

One of Lifestyles Solutions goals, and the concept the company is built upon, is to design and create furniture that fit and individual's lifestyle (hence their name). They carefully consider every convertible sofa and other piece of furniture and try to conceptualize how that piece can style, compliment and enhance someone's living space.

What I had originally noticed, even with an untrained eye, the modern adaptation of retro styles, is what Lifestyle Solutions call their transitional design. This means a coming together of traditional and contemporary designs. They strive to achieve this marriage of modern and traditional through, not only the shape of the furniture piece, but also by the finishes, materials and fabrics that they use.

Not only does LS strive to cater to a growing customer base, but they do it without leaving a large impact on the environment. Environmental considerations are an important part of their business practices. All all their furniture is constructed from plantation grown hardwood.

Lifestyle Solutions carry a wide range of types of furniture, but their largest collection is of convertible sofa beds. They group these under two main headings: Sofa Bed Convertibles and Casual Convertibles. The first group consists of futon style sofa beds. These are high quality and come in a large variety of styles and finishes. The second group, Casual Convertibles, range greatly in style and these are the ones I first saw that had the retro / modern lines. If you like unique furniture, then you will find something here that you like. Most of these convertible sofas do so in the click-clack fashion, where the back of the sofa reclines back fully. Looking at these, you will realize that there is a lot more to a convertible sofa than you may have thought.

A convertible sofa from Lifestyle Solutions not only is very functional, but the functionality is built into each piece in such a way that it adapts to contemporary living needs. And without compromising the design or functionality, each piece enhances your home or living space.

A new worry that has only cropped up in the last decade to the end user consumer is product packaging. So many large items, are now sold on the internet, and you want to receive your item in pristine condition. Lifestyle Solutions is aware of this and uses modern technology to come up with the best packaging for every item they sell. They use injection molded foam to cushion each piece from movement and impact. Though they cannot actually control what happens during shipment, they do try to make sure that their furniture arrives perfectly at delivery.

If you are in the market for a new convertible sofa, definitely check these out. You will be pleasantly surprised at what you discover in this retro-modern line of furniture.

How To Assemble A Futon Frame

Most futons are made very similar and use the same parts to assemble them. When shoppers buy their futon they often have a set of instructions that came with the futon frame. Time passes and these instruction disappear or get misplaced and it's time to move the futon. Not having assembled futons on an everyday basis, it may not be immediately clear how the futon goes together. In this article we'll examine the parts and assembly of a standard futon frame to hopefully help those who may have lost instructions.

Leather Futon Sofa

Laying out the parts:

Leather Futon Sofa

When you purchased your futon you most likely had 6 main wood parts. 2 arms, 2 rails and a seat and back section. The back section looks different than the seat section as it has 3 pre drilled holes on the sides with the wood sides extending down to allow the seat section to be connected to it. Versus 1 or 2 holes on the seat section. Your hardware will consist of 8 bolts, 8 barrel nuts (shaped like a barrel), 4 nylon rollers, 6 metal pins, 6 washers and 6 cotter clips, allen wrench.

Attaching the hardware:

Take the 4 nylon rollers, 4 metal pins and 4 cotter clips and locate the wood backrest of the futon. It will have the three holes drilled into each side. Two of these holes are close together and the 3rd hole is towards the bottom of the side. This hole by itself will connect to the seat section. The nylon rollers have two ends. A small round top and a larger round bottom. The larger round bottom is placed against the wood over the hole and a metal pin is pushed down through the small round top through the roller and out through the hole in the back rack. On the other side slide a washer over the pin use your cotter clip and push it through the small hole in the metal pin to secure it. Repeat this step for the other three nylon rollers.

Next find the wood seat section and locate the hole closest to the end on the side. (Sometimes wood seat sections have two holes. The second hole towards the middle is for attaching what is called a kicker block. Your frame may or may not have this.) After you have located the holes on the ends of the seat section lay the wood seat and back sections face up meaning the slats in these section are facing up or are closest to the top. Now take the 2 remaining metal pins and push them through the remaining holes in the sides back section in through the holes in the seat section. Slide a washer over each pin and secure it with the remaining cotter clips.

Attaching the arms and stretchers.

Locate your two wood arms and two wood stretchers. Look at the arms and notice that one side of the arms has two routed out grooves. During assembly these routed out grooves need to face inward towards each other. Next, locate your two stretcher rails. These rails will have 4 small circular holes drilled out on the one side of the stretcher on the ends. During assembly make sure these holes face in towards the holes of the stretcher across from it. Take your barrel nut and place it inside one of the holes intended for the barrel nut. Barrel nuts usually have a phillips or flat screwdriver point and make sure this is facing out. Also make sure the threaded hole in the barrel nut lines up with the holes in the ends of the rail as your bolt will need to thread into them. Now take the bolt and push it through the outside of the arm and into the rail threading it into the barrel nut and use your allen wrench to wind the screw into the barrel nut. Repeat this step on the other bolts leaving them loose. On the rail that is closest to the routed out grooves in the arms leave two of your bolts out and make sure this area allows you to move the arm outward somewhat. [The reason for this is to make sure we can spread the arms enough to get the seat and back section into the frame without scratching our arms.]

Moving the back/seat section into the frame.

The backrest has 2 nylon rollers on each side. The top roller needs to be lined up with the routed out grooves in the arms that go up and down. If you installed the rollers correctly, the end of the nylon roller will fit into the groove and will push into it. (If it doesn't, your rollers are installed backwards, take them off and flip them around so that the larger part of the roller is against the wood.) Now take the bottom rollers on each side and line them up into the routed out groove that runs left to right. [This step might require a helper to get the rollers lined up in the grooves.]Important Note: Make sure that the seat and back section slats are facing upwards to where the mattress will rest right on them. If it looks like the mattress will sit down into the back and seat section because the slats are facing the ground, you'll need stop and flip the decks over and do this step again.

Finishing assembly.

Now finish putting the remaining two bolts and barrel nuts into the back arm and connect them together as discussed in the above step about attaching arms and stretchers. Go ahead and tighten all of the bolts. Tight enough but not too tight. Your futon should now be ready for use.

I wrote this text version of futon assembly instructions as a guide to help those who are missing assembly instructions. Often you can contact the futon company you purchased your futon from for a set of replacement instructions. However, if that isn't an option, I hope this guide will get you through the process of re-assembling your futon so you can start using and enjoying it once again. Many websites also include picture instructions you can use and this page futon assembly instructions might also be of help to you.

How Organic Furniture Can Help Prevent Allergies

As allergies seem to be on the rise, people are starting to opt for organic furniture in their bedrooms. This only makes sense as you spend a great deal of time in your bedroom, and being exposed to allergens and chemicals for an extended amount of time, can have a big impact on your health.

Leather Futon Sofa

Many people suffer from both wood and leather allergies, which are obviously common materials being used to manufacture beds. One of the biggest offending woods is of course oak, which is why you should always opt for such woods as solid maple, cherry, ash, and walnut.

Leather Futon Sofa

Also, the chemicals used to manufacturer the furniture can also cause a severe reaction in many allergy suffers. This can include skin irritation, asthma and other symptoms. Because of this, many allergy sufferers are switching to metal bed frames, which isn't always something they prefer.

However, a solution is of course to buy organic furniture. This type of furniture is made from only organic materials and the manufacturing process doesn't include the use of harmful chemicals and toxins.

This includes bed frames and other bedroom furniture made from such organic materials as hemp and bamboo. Since these materials are eco-friendly and the manufacturing process doesn't use chemical bonding processes, they are made 100% naturally.

You can also buy organic mattresses made from material that is free of pesticides and other harmful toxins that are used in regular mattresses to make them flame retardant. These mattresses are created with organic cotton or similar organic fabrics and the flame retardant methods are created naturally as well.

So it is entirely possible to replace every piece of furniture in your bedroom with natural and organic substitutes that are much better for your overall health.

When you decide to buy organic furniture for your bedroom, you are taking a huge step for your overall health. The less exposure you have to deadly toxins and chemicals, the less likely you are to develop asthma, cancer and other deadly diseases.

By going natural, you will have the peace of mind that your health is not at risk, and I guarantee you this will lead to a much better night's sleep!

Bedroom Furniture For Small Spaces

It's not that difficult to purchase bedroom furniture for small spaces if you remember a few ground rules - for instance, when you are particularly limited for space, measurements become particularly important. After all, if you are furnishing your bedroom the first things you are going to have to consider is the place you are to sleep - i.e. your bed. You need to decide on whether you are going to buy a bed that takes up most of the bedroom or purchase a bed that is more in fitting with the size of the room. Another essential you are going to have to account for is the door. After that, everything else can be bought to fit around these two essentials. Preferably, when you are shopping for bedroom furniture for small spaces you need to choose something that complements the space you have rather than dominates it.

Leather Futon Sofa

Naturally, if you have an unlimited budget, shopping for diminutive furniture would be a lot easier as you can fall back on custom-built pieces or shop at a bespoke furniture store. Apart from budget, the quality of the furniture will also come into your decision. If you are just beginning the process of furnishing a property and have little money to spend then you are going to be more limited in choice although there are ranges of furniture built on a small scale that would look quite delightful in a funky-type bedroom: these pieces can be bought online from Ikea whose range of bedroom furniture for small spaces at budget prices is legendary.

Leather Futon Sofa

You might consider the option of having furniture that is fitted into your bedroom so that any space you do have is maximized and there are no unsightly nooks and crannies to detract from a stylish finish. Although fitted, there is a wide range of designs to choose from; each style is planned out before the pieces are ordered and is all then carefully fitted by experts to ensure no space is wasted. Apart from the obvious advantages such as each piece being fitted into its corresponding slot, fitted furniture does come with other advantages. When buying bedroom furniture for small spaces, you will notice how sliding doors on the wardrobe can maximize whatever space you have available. If those wardrobes are fitted you will notice that each style has carefully planned interior shelves, runners, hanging space and drawers that can usually accommodate all your necessary paraphernalia hidden from view.

You could, of course, go for a Japanese look, using a futon to sleep on [they are actually quite comfortable] and pick small modern pieces of furniture to complete the look. Again, Ikea online stock some really attractive high-gloss black cube-like drawers that would look absolutely great instead of a chest of drawers and can double up as a bedside table. Paint your walls white, cream, or ice-blue and then brighten up your room with cherry reds and high-gloss blacks to create a bright, warm and cheery touch that perfectly complements bedroom furniture for small spaces regardless of the style you choose.

Bunk Beds - Finding the Perfect Bunk Bed for Your Child's Bedroom

In order to keep a child's room as spacious as possible, to allow room for play and fun, parents must buy clever furniture that's fun and functional. As adults, we're used to having bedrooms big enough to fit a queen or king bed, plus dresser and nightstand. Most kid's bedrooms are usually smaller and cramming them wouldn't be fair at all.

Leather Futon Sofa

Enter the multi-faceted bunk bed that often combines a bed and storage in the same space that a normal bed would take up. If you have more than one child, it gets even better as a space saver and adds to home entertainment for pretend play. So, when you're budgeting for your child's bedroom furniture, keep in mind the money you'll save by not having to purchase additional play accessories that will only crowd your child's bedroom.

Leather Futon Sofa

Beside the "cool factor" of kid's bunk beds, there are several practical benefits to choosing a bunk bed. First, quality bunk beds can last your child from age three on through to college. Since most bunk beds can be down-stacked into two twin beds, your child can begin enjoying his/her new room even if they are still not old enough to manage climbing up to the top bunk. As your child grows, you can stack the twin beds into the bunk bed formation, thereby freeing up valuable floor space for a desk. Second, you can sleep two in the same amount of space that you would normally be able to put in a twin bed. Third, if you buy a quality bunk bed you will have no trouble re-selling it when your child is ready for something else.

Futon bunk beds are perfect to maximize your space. They are great in kids' rooms, guest rooms and dorm rooms. Futon bunk beds feature a twin size bed on top and a full size futon on the bottom. The futon on the bottom can be converted from a full size bed to a couch, giving you great flexibility while maintaining ease of use. They also come in different styles and finishes (just change their covers to get new looks for your room). Loft bunk beds, too, are great space savers and work best for sleepovers and families with two or more children sharing a room.

What is the best age for your child to use a bunk bed? Most bunk beds are suitable for children five years and above, but it also depends upon the child. As long as your child is old enough to safely climb the bunk bed ladder, you can get a bunk bed. Usually the climb up to the top bunk is a piece of cake, but initially the climb down can be somewhat daunting. As long as you are close by to reassure your child there's no problem.

Kids learn fast and mastering the bunk bed ladder will come quickly and even give your child a sense of accomplishment. Not only that, but the top bunk is a really cool place for a kid to be. These days, kids have so many toys and distractions that hinder their imagination (think television and video games), so anything you can do to spark their imagination and get them active can only be a good thing. Pretend play gets more fun and creative with a themed bunk bed (a castle or dollhouse or your child's favorite character).

For a safe bunk bed, check to make sure the product is ASTM (or American Society for Testing Materials) safety certified. For the consumer, it means any bed purchased from a manufacturer that follows the ASTM guidelines will have sturdy, secured guard rails and the positioning of the guard rails is such that little heads are too big to get caught between them, thus avoiding strangulation, and little hands and feet are too small to get wedged between them, thus avoiding broken bones. Also, guard rails are crucial in preventing mishaps and falls from the top bunk.

For a change, climb atop your child's bunk bed and marvel at a different perspective to life - simple and honest - just like that of a child's.

How to Properly Clean Convertible Sofas - Which Sleeper Sofas Need Less Cleaning?

Just like any other sofa, you will have to clean your convertible sofas once or twice every month; especially at those homes where there are little kids or pets. No matter how much you adore your pets or kids you do would not want dog or cat hair on your sofa or your kids spilling and sticking things on them. However, you cannot stop them every time, what you can do is to clean it properly so that they there are no stains or hair on them.

Leather Futon Sofa

Another threat to your sofa is bugs which can cause humans itching and swelling problems on their skins.  These bugs usually live in dark and cozy places and that is why they find sofas their perfect homes. For food they victimize humans who frequently used sofas to sit and lay down for relaxation and feed their blood to these bugs. You can never tell when your sofa is infected by these bugs because they are very tiny and no matter how much you kill them there will still be hundreds of them left.

Leather Futon Sofa

To save your convertible sofas from getting dirty by your pets or kids, you can cover them with a cloth so that your sofa does not get stained instead the cloth will get stained. Then when your guests arrive, you can hide the cloth and offer them your beautiful sofa for sitting and relaxing. If this trick does not work for you and you still find your sofas dirty, then there is a separate procedure to wash and dry clean them. You can find that procedure in the handling book when you got your sofa. The easiest and simplest way to clean your sofas properly is to clean them with hot water and washing powder and then left them in sunlight for natural dry.

This trick can also be applied to those sofas which are infected with bugs. The sunlight will kill them all as they cannot survive in sunlight and heat. Once your sofas are completely dry you can bring them inside your home but make sure there is no moisture left inside them as it will be able to create more pests.      

Regularly vacuum your convertible sofas before sitting or laying down on them, to make them dust free. If you did not do that than your sofas will get stained and will lose their shine. So it is better that you take care of your sofas a lot because they are an important part of furniture at your home.

As compared to the fabric upholstery; sofas with leather upholstery are much easier to clean as they can be easily wiped with a wet washcloth to remove spills etc. and they also require less cleaning periodically.

Four Ways Childrens Bunk Beds Solve Decorating Problems

Kids have always loved bunk beds because their imaginations easily turn a space-saving sleeping arrangement into tents, castles, and pirate ships. Today's Childrens Bunk Beds provide the original advantages and many new ones. If you are considering redecorating your kids' rooms and want a practical, stylish solution, here are four reasons you should consider these beds:

Leather Futon Sofa

1. They are Made in a Variety of Materials

Leather Futon Sofa

Many parents choose pine, oak, or even plywood bunk beds because wooden bunk beds tend to be light and sturdy. They are also decorative in their natural colors or can be painted to match a room. Bunk beds are also made in metal, which can add an interesting look. Metal beds are also less expensive, but not as sturdy as wooden ones.

2. These Beds Save Space

If you have a small room to work with or need to create a comfortable bedroom for two or more children, bunks allow you to utilize valuable vertical space. You can use the traditional top-and-bottom twin bed style or a larger bottom bed and twin top. There are also designs which provide a loft instead of a top bed. You might also choose beds with built-in storage, or a trundle bed. As children grow it is even possible to convert a bottom bunk into a desk area.

3. You Can Create a Designer Bedroom

Today's Childrens Bunk Beds offer design options to fit any decorating theme. Besides a range of colors and styles, you have a choice of interesting ladders, steps and rails. It is possible to configure beds in many ways other than the traditional double-stacked twin beds. They can include a bed over a futon, a computer area, or even a complete workstation.

4. Bunk Beds Can Provide Practical Fun

Despite the many ways that Childrens Bunk Beds save space and money, their biggest attraction is still the fun factor. You can create an entire theme around the beds by mixing and matching accessories. Additions such as colorful steps, drawers, desks and tents can change a room's look and create a play space kids will love.

Bunk beds have lost none of their kid appeal over the years.The only thing that's changed is that now parents have more reasons to love Childrens Bunk Beds as much as their kids do.

Futon Beds - Comfortable and Cheap

Futon beds are perfect for students living in dorm rooms, single people in cramped apartments and homes, and for kids - and they can also find a spot in the den as an extra bed for sleepovers and unexpected guests during the holidays. Futons are similar to sofa beds, but they are much more compact and easier to set up, and they are far less expensive. The futon itself serves as a sofa or couch when the bed is not in use.

Leather Futon Sofa

Away at College

Leather Futon Sofa

Most dorm rooms or apartments for students are small and serve the purpose of just sleeping, eating and showering. Since there is limited space in these living quarters, futon beds serve double duty as providing a place to sit and relax as well as a spot for sleeping. They are extremely popular with the college crowd for these reasons - and because college kids are still "kids" - it is a good choice as an inexpensive piece of furniture that can handle a harsh beating under the wrong conditions - kids living on their own, unsupervised. Most are so cheap that if they last just a few semesters, your money was well spent.

Apartment Living

When you live in an apartment, you're always on the prowl for inexpensive and compact pieces of furniture. They fit the bill perfectly. You can easily turn a one-bedroom apartment into a two-bedroom apartment by placing a futon bed in the living room. And if you have guests, voila! It lets out easily for your guest to lounge comfortably at night.

In the Den

Placing a futon in the den, living room, or other area of the home for overnight guests to use is a smart move. Futons are far more comfortable than other alternatives - such as those irritating blow up mattresses. Your guest will sleep in comfort and be much appreciative of your effort.

Buying Them

You can find futon beds at most furniture stores, big box retailers, and online. Many online retailers will offer you great deals - and some of them will even ship them free to your location. When purchasing your bed, be sure to look for one that is solidly constructed and that features easy set up instructions. Optimally, you want to buy your bed pre-assembled, but this is often not the case. Nevertheless, a screwdriver and a bit of know-how around the tool box are about all you'll need to easily assemble your bed right out of the box. They typically come with a futon mattress, although some do not and you might need to purchase it separately. Look for them with plush mattresses that can stand up to being folded (and then sat on) repeatedly.

Beyond Cabin Beds - Fun Furniture Pieces to Bring the Outdoors Inside

Sofas, dining tables and chairs, and end tables used to represent the meaning of log furniture exclusively. This is no longer the case. Other unique log furniture pieces include cabin beds, bathroom vanities, entertainment furniture, and pet accessories as well. Bringing fun outdoor furniture pieces into existing or new decors can add a splash of inspiration to one's living experience.

Leather Futon Sofa

No Longer The Cabin Beds Of Days Gone By

Leather Futon Sofa

There are a variety of cabin beds to choose from that are built from woods such as pine, aspen, cedar, red cedar, barn wood, and hickory. One can even find cabin beds that blend the elements of wrought iron into a log headboard and footboard to create a warm yet contemporary look. Cabin beds come in a variety of sizes that range from twin to California king and include finish choices such as clear finish, no finish (natural wood), or a light honey color.

Cabin beds also come in many different forms that include the classic log bed with a 4-poster bed frame and a rustic appeal, a solid wood bed frame with a headboard that has extra room for books, a creamy white low-profile bed with a lower height footboard, and a log-high poster bed that is a step up from the classic look due to its extra high legs. Other unique styles of beds include day, bunk, canopy, and futon. If extra character is what one is looking for, perhaps cabin beds made from twisted logs or logs that bear the scars associated with survival in a natural environment is desirable. No matter the choice, all cabin beds have individual characteristics, so no two will look alike.

When replacing an old bed with a new log bed, you can include one for a pet as well. These cabin beds are made from selected hardwoods and are designed to complement emerging or existing decors. As with their human counterparts, pet log beds come in many styles, including an Adirondack dog bed made from untreated northern white cedar and a cottage dog bed that resembles a human daybed. Other pet accessories include exercise wheels for cats, hickory kennel tables, a rustic bird feeder, and a rustic pet feeder made from dead-standing lodge pole pine, which is designed to accommodate two aluminum food pans for a dog or cat.

Fun Log Furniture

Game rooms and bars are great places to include log furniture when redecorating one's home with a rustic flare. Fun accents for game rooms are items such as a solid wood billiard tables with rustic wood accents, foosball tables made from solid pine, and solid wood dartboards prepared from your choice of knotty, ponderosa, and eastern white pine. If one is interested in providing a comfortable bar area for their friends and family, begin with a log bar made from cedar, pine, or aspen, which includes storage for wine and liquor, shakers, stirrers, and glassware. Adding stools and pub tables will complete the game room and bar area and provide years of memories for your loved ones and you.

Bathrooms That Include Rustic Motifs

The term 'rustic bathroom' may conjure up visions of cold outhouses on long winter nights; however, rustic bathrooms have moved into the modern era by integrating the homey comfort of logs into modern conveniences such as bathroom vanities that boast copper accessories like sinks and water faucets. As with the other types of log furniture, the bathroom vanity comes in a range of styles, from simple to detailed and from plain country charm to contemporary. The variety does not stop there. Wood choices range from the delicate, pale complexion of northern white cedar to the harshness of hickory with the bark intact.

Other accessories that bring the outdoor spirit into modern bathrooms are beautiful log mirrors, attractive toilet paper holders, towel bars and hangers, rustic looking shower curtains, and country themed towel sets. Other added touches such as soap dishes, lotion pumps, tumblers, tissue box covers, waste paper baskets, and toothbrush holders also complement the rest of a rustic bathroom. They come in a variety of rustic motifs that include acorn patterns and items with leather and metal ornamentations.

Sofas, dining tables and chairs, and end tables no longer represent the definition of log furniture exclusively. Bringing fun outdoor furniture pieces such as pet beds, unique log beds, entertainment tables, and bathroom accessories into existing or new decors can add a splash of warmth to one's emergent rustic home.
