Summer rugs from top designers

home, home furnishings, mum's thoughts

The world of interior design works much like high street and designer fashion, though it tends to move a little slower. The same few names have ruled the roost for a few years now, but recently we’ve seen a few newer (and not so new) names have been making some headway and selling more and more of their designs.

Since a lot of people don’t know much about what’s hot in interior design, but are becoming more interested in decorating their homes a little more luxuriously, there tends to be a bit of crossover between the designers that are fashionable on the high street and the designers who are popular in people’s houses. One such name is Calvin Klein, whose collection of modern rugs is fast becoming a commodity, much like his iconic boxer shorts and fragrances.

With fashion houses like Calvin Klein being as large as they are, it’s somewhat strange that we’ve not seen this kind of crossover sooner; vast amounts of experience coupled with an eye for colours that will look perfect in any home all year round means that one day the new ranges of soft furnishings may become as famous as the Calvin Klein originals.

Calvin Klein’s Sahara range in particular is ideal for summer, and features a linear design which is accented with faux silk to add a little luxury under foot. With bright, block colours, and a large variety of styles and materials across the ranges, any of the new line of rugs will add life to a living room in winter, and keep any summer day sunny regardless of the weather. Many are expecting the new Calvin Klein rugs to take off, so there’s no reason we can’t expect to see plenty more massive fashion brands featuring on our lounge floors this time next year.

Smart Mums Choose Uratex Mattresses

home furnishings, home, homemaking, sleeping mattersSmart mums do choose Uratex mattresses simply because they give you more value for your money, plus you can be sure of the quality of the products. I should know, I have this Uratex foam which my Mama bought me all those many years ago, 10 years, I think, + now my little man uses the same foam! Talk about durability + good quality! 😉

It was no surprise, therefore, that another smart mum joins the ranks of Uratex endorsers ~ mum-of-five Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan. Check out the blurb for more information:

EVERYONE deserves a good night’s rest to stay healthy and alert, but many people complain they don’t get enough sleep. Various reasons are pointed out as to why they wake up feeling tired and sleepy, either due to a sleep disorders or because of place not conducive to sleeping.

However, they may not be aware that their mattress can be the culprit, and they need neither slumber tricks nor a doctor’s prescription to choose the right one that can give them correct support and comfort.

This is the reason why celebrity mum Maricel Laxa-Pangilinan, or Mummy Maricel, only trusts one brand as her go-to mattress provider. The award-winning actress, events host and speaker has been a Uratex user for the longest time. She recalls it as a big part of her childhood until now where she has her own children.

“I’ve been using it for as long as I can remember, and I can say that with all honesty,” she enthuses. “Kasama ko ‘yan araw-araw. Dyan ako natutulog at nagigising sotalagang part na ‘yan ng pamilya namin (I sleep and wake up on it every day so it’s really a part of our family).”

Having spent almost a third of her life on an Uratex bed, Mummy Maricel did not think twice in using the same brand when she started her own family with husband Anthony Pangilinan 18 years ago up to now that they have five children.

“’Yung mga mattresses namin, siguro 10 years na pero maganda pa. Meron kaming King- at apat na full-size (Our mattresses have been with us for 10 years but are still in good condition. We have King and four full-size) so I could say that Uratex is really our partner for good sleep.”

Conscious of the health and well-being of her family, Mummy Maricel shares that even if she knows the brand’s durability, she still would have the product tested before buying it. What delighted her more is that the company uses computers to measure body contours and this assures her that specific designs and qualities would match the physique and sleeping habits of her family.

“Good thing also that Uratex provides a wide array of pillows that complement its mattresses to bring ultimate comfort and health while sleeping,” says Mummy Maricel.

With so many mattresses and pillows out there, she admits that it can be challenging in choosing the right one. Buying a mattress and pillow is a decision that Mums should think about carefully, she says. Though on the average most people replace their mattress every 7-10 years, she suggests that they should also consider their use in the long run. And the price, Maricel reiterates, should not be a hindrance in making a wise purchase.

“What is the price of good sleep? You cannot put a price on it. Parents should really prioritize and invest in a good mattress and pillow so they can assure their family’s good sleep and rest, especially the children.”

Putting a premium on her family’s health and well-being is indeed every Mum’s top priority. And helping her achieve it is Uratex, which, true to its “Alagang Mummy, Alagang Uratex” thrust, creates the best foam product in the market to ensure a good and restful sleep for the families of today—just like that of Mummy Maricel.
