How to Choose the Appropriate Mattress Size

Folding Crib

Before we start...here are the sizes:

Folding Crib

Twin Size: 39" x 75"

Twin Long (Twin XL): 39" x 80"

Full Size: 54" x 75"

Full Long (Full XL): 54" x 80"

Three Quarter Size: 48" x 75"

Queen Size: 60" x 80"

King Size: 76" x 80"

California King: 72" x 84"

Mattress Size Details:

Twin Size (also known as a Single): Twin size is large enough for one child or one small adult. It's also often ordered for a bunk bed, daybed, hi-riser, or as a mattress and a boxspring set for a small guest room. Twin size is good for a child, but keep in mind when they get older they may grow out of it.

Twin XL: Twin XL is used for dorm room mattresses as it gives the extra length for students who are tall. When you push two Twin XL mattresses together it forms a king size. Twin XL is also ordered for beds with electric adjustable bases as it prevents your feet from hanging off the edge of the mattress when the base reclines.

Full Size: (also known as a Double): Full size gives more comfort for one person as it has 15 more inches in width than a twin size. It is possible to fit two people into a full size mattress but it only gives each person 27" of width (which is the same width as a crib mattress).

Full Long (Full XL): The same width as a full but 80" long. Good if your tall but don't have the space for a queen. Note: Full long is usually the same price as a queen with most retailers as the wholesale price is often the same.

Three Quarter Size: This size is usually for an antique bed. Antique beds can usually be found at auctions. Most of the major manufacturers do not make this size.

Queen Size: This is the most common size mattress ordered for two adults. It gives six more inches of width for the sleeping area than a full size mattress and five inches more length.

King Size: This is the ideal size for two adults if you have the space in your bedroom.

It gives plenty of space between you and your sleeping partner. Because you are not as close to your partner, you also get a reduction in the transfer of motion making it less likely for your partner to wake you up.

California King: This is the ideal size for those really tall people. It gives you 4 inches less width than a King Size, but four inches more in the length. We have NBA players order this size.

Goodbaby Strollers on the Move

I would be willing to that bet you have never heard of Goodbaby. Yet they control 70% of the stroller market in China. They manufacture two out of every five strollers sold in the U.S. And they have a 15% market share in Europe primarily in the luxury model category. There is a very good chance that you have a Goodbaby product in your home and do not even know it. Goodbaby makes 10,000 strollers a day, most of them for overseas brands. In all they make 15 different labels.

Folding Crib

Song Zhenghuan was intent on becoming the world's number one maker of infant and child products. But when he designed a rocking chair in 1989, one of his employees mistook it for a stroller. Song added wheels and the rest as they say is history. As of May 2009, the company was still privately owned but the initial public offering was on many investor's radar.

Folding Crib

Goodbaby opened its flagship store in Shanghai in 2006. Its targeted market is middle-class Chinese families. Ironically, not far away is a competitor who caters to wealthier Chinese families willing to spend big money on foreign label products. Goodbaby not only owns a share in this store too, but many of the products for sale there are made right in China by Goodbaby.

Song Zhenghuan's number one challenge today is to make the Goodbaby label a top seller in its own right. He faces the challenge of overcoming global bias, which he admits was brought on in part by unscrupulous Chinese companies who produced shoddy and dangerous baby products. He knows it will take time but he is confident that China will someday enjoy the same reputation that Japan does for producing quality goods.

Song has taken an interesting route to baby stroller mogul. He began his career as a math teacher eventually becoming a vice-principal. When China first began experimenting in capitalism, some schools were required to create businesses to fund themselves. So Song borrowed from his fellow teachers and opened a microwave oven factory which was a resounding failure.

Eventually, through alumni connections, the factory got work making stroller parts. Song quickly saw that profits would be higher on finished products. Over the last 20 years, Goodbaby has been innovating stroller design. They feel their R&D is what sets the company apart from their competitors. That and the fact that they made a combo rocking chair/stroller work.

Goodbaby has produced strollers under the brand names of Cosco, Safety First and Eddie Bauer to name a few. Other non-stroller brand names manufactured by Goodbaby are Quinny, Nike Kids and Tommee Tippee. One distinction that has set them apart from other Chinese manufacturers of infant and child products is that Goodbaby has welcomed foreign investors and taken advise from their experience. This has helped them understand the expectations of the world market.

In 2006, a China focused private equity firm, the Pacific Alliance Group, bought a 67 percent stake in Goodbaby, effecting what some call the first western style leveraged buyout of a Chinese company. It was this equity firm that was expected to take Goodbaby public. But that has not happened. And instead, PAG has hired Morgan Stanley to sell their shares to other interested private equity firms.

This sale is going to have a very high profile because traditionally, the Chinese government has not easily approved foreign investments and the private culture of business ownership in China is strong. What started as one factory is now more than ten specialty factories and they have their own industrial park employing over 16,000 people.

What's next? Goodbaby plans to grow its online presence as many young Chinese parents like to shop on the internet. If history has been any indication, expect to see a lot more of Goodbaby in the years to come.

The History of Rocking Chairs

Do you remember those days when your grandparents used to tell you stories while sitting in their favorite rocking chairs? Did you ever experience the thrill of being rocked back and forth on that chair for the first time? For some people, rocking chairs are endearing parts of their lives. But, do you know that rocking chairs also have their own stories to tell? If not, here's the history of rocking chairs that not all of you may have heard about.

Folding Crib

The First Rockers

Folding Crib

The original inventor of the rocking chair is still unknown. Though some stories attribute its invention to Benjamin Franklin, no historical evidence can prove them right. Historians can only trace the rocking chair's origins to North America during the early 18th century. They were originally used in gardens and were just ordinary chairs with two rockers at their bottoms. It was in 1725 that early rocking chairs first appeared in England. They were also used as garden chairs and had hoop-shaped backs. The distinction of being the creator of the first popular rocking chair design actually belonged to England's North American colonies. Windsor rockers, as this design was called, were first built near the Windsor Castle in the early 1700s. These rocking chairs featured a round hoop back, a birdcage (with spindles known for its cage-like appearance), and a comb-back (with comb-shaped head rest). The wicker rocking chair was another popular design created during that time. The production of wicker rocking chairs reached its peak in America during the middle of the 18th century. These wicker rockers, as they were popularly known, were famous for their craftsmanship and creative designs.

Into the Modern Era

Michael Thonet, a German craftsman, created the first bentwood rocking chair in 1860. This design is distinguished by its graceful shape and its light weight. Thonet used bent steamed wood for these rocking chairs. Because of their affordability and beautiful design, bentwood rocking chairs not only became famous around the world but spawned countless imitators as well. Neoclassical designs also became a trend in the US during the 1890s. These rocking chairs were influenced by Greek and Roman designs as well as Renaissance and colonial era artistry. During the 1920s, however, folding rocking chairs became more popular in the US and in Europe. They were handy for outdoor activities and travel purposes. By the 1950s, rocking chairs built by Sam Maloof, a US craftsman, became famous for their durability and deluxe appearance. Maloof's rocking chairs are distinguished by their ski-shaped rockers.

The Rockers of Today

Today's rocking chairs are distinguished by their diverse materials and cutting edge, sometimes outrageous, designs. One of the modern era's most unique was created by Ron Arad in 1990. The single volume rocking arm chair is made of steel that also tilts upward when it is not used. Meanwhile, Peter Opsvik of Norway created the "gravity balance" in 1999. This ergonomic rocking chair allows the sitter to relax or stretch through its four positions. Another unique one was created in 1999 by Illka Terho and Teppo Asikaine of Sweden. Known as the "chip lounger," this rocking chair is shaped like a surfboard. In 2001, MAC Sports, USA released the "malibu" rocking chair, which can be folded up completely into its own carrying case.
