What type of bedding should I use with a platform bed?
Q. I have just purchased platform beds for all the bedrooms in my home and I'm not sure what type of bedding to buy. I don't want the comforter, quilt, whatever to hang over the platform of the bed as the platform extends past the mattress and is really what I love most about the new beds. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

A. Just tuck the spread under all the way around. To do that and have it look nice buy a thinner spread like a matelasse. A comforter or some quilts would be a little too bulky.

What components does a bed need besides the mattress and the spring thingy?
Q. I've never had to put one together before. Right now in our room we have the mattress and the thing that goes underneath it that has springs all over it. It's pretty low...what else is it supposed to have ...a bed rail? I want a bed thats pretty high. And when I stayed at a hotel recently they had something that went all the way around the bed, like wooden and their bed was pretty high. Clue me in please?

A. Either a bedframe and headboard (footboard optional) or a platform to lift it off the floor. Personally I prefer the platform, but then you need to find a friend who's handy to make it for you. But cover it with faux black leather and you'll have something that Ralph Lauren charges almost $2000 for in one of his stores.

My bed frame has wheels and as a result, my bed rarely stays in place on my hardwood floors. Any thoughts?
Q. I've seen those plastic holders that supposedly stick to the floor, but they look kind of flimsy. Is it possible to replace wheels of frame with legs that won't slide? And on a related note, my headboard is not attached to the frame, so whenever the bed moves, so does the headboard. How can I prevent this? Any thoughts on good ways to attach a wooden headboard to a metal frame? Thanks!

A. Headboard first...Take the mattress/box springs off and line up the frame to the headboard. Drill through the holes in the frame and through the headboard. Attach the headboard tot he frame with bolts of the proper length and size. Get an old bath mat and cut it up into rectangles to fit under the wheels. Fold the rectangle over to form a square with the rubber side both up and down (rug in the middle). See if that takes care of the sliding. Dr. Tommy Skelton

My bed is so uncomfortable & sinks in the middle. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Q. My husband & I are average-size people and this bed is only about 7 years old. It's a King Koil mattress/box springs and we regularly flip it and rotate it, and it still is so uncomfortable. I am now experiencing sore neck, back, hips and I think the bed is the culprit. So, just wondering if there are any cheap remedies or if I should buy a new bed. If your answer is 'buy a new bed', do you have any suggestions of what kind of bed I should get where this won't happen again?

A. well a cheap fix would be to put a sheet of plywood between the box frame and the mattress, 1/2" should do it. as far a good one to replace yours with, we have a Simmons Beauty Rest that we have had as long as you have had yours. the girlfriend and i are both "plus size" and no problems with it yet. ours is a no flip, so we just turn it around every month or two. the thing that we like most about our Simmons is that we don't disturb each other when one of us gets in or out of bed, it totally isolates us from the other side. i would strongly recommend that you visit a showroom and check them out them out. also, if your pillows are that old too, it's time for new ones. most are only made to last a couple of years. good luck, hope this helps.

What are the effects of sleeping in the same bed with someone?
Q. I'm having a dilemma right now. Well I'm going to be living with someone for 6 mos. We're not friends and barely even know each other. The reason for this is that we're both on a very tight budget and decided to share a room together. But now there's this bed problem. The room has a queen sized bed and we were planning to put another single bed inside the room. The owner doesn't want to replace it with two separate beds so we decided to put another bed (my roomie doesn't want a mattress alone so it's gotta be an entire single bed). Right now I can see that it's gonna take up too much space inside the room. So you can just imagine. Can someone pls enlighten me on this? Thanks! We're both female btw.

As long as your room-mate is happy to share without any hang-ups go for it. Sisters share, be like sisters with each other and respect each other, no harm done and your morals are still intact.

Q. I had a lovely bed and breakfast cookbook which has been "permanently borrowed". This book had recipes from bed and breakfasts/Inns all over the U.S. Each chapter was a different state (in alphabetical order) and the best recipes from B&B's. In the Hawaii chapter I used a wonderful, easy, recipe for banana bread and I cannot locate it anywhere on the internet. Can anyone help?

How to make the bed during the summer months with 2 comforters.?
Q. I have a very small bedroom and I do not know where to place the comforter when I go to sleep. I end up putting it on the floor by the end of the bed but I do not want it to get dirty. I do not have space in the room for a chair or any additional furniture. Is there a way to fold it to make it easier to make the bed...etc...

A. Well there is a thing at Wal- Mart a bag using a vacuum cleaner to suck all the air out. It flattens it so you could store it under your bed. Or use it as a pillow on you couch fold and roll it up. Or roll it and use it a a body pillow. If you have a attic put in a big garbage bag and store it there. You could also as someone if you could store it in their attic. Or bring it over here I will store it for you I have plenty of room...LOL JK

what side of a double bed do the hems of the pillowcases go?
Q. I am trying to make monogrammed pillowcases, where the monogram is in the very middle of the pillowcase. For this to work, I need to know the proper placement of the pillowcase hems on the bed. Do they hang off the edges or meet in the middle of the bed?

I already have a flower bed in my yard and want to plant flowers. What do I do?
Q. The flower bed is just filled up with dirt, weeds, and little pcs of rock. First I need to clean it out I guess but do I use the dirt that's already in there or do put soil down? If you want to know, I live in Charlotte, NC (Zone 7). I want to plant perennial flowers. I'm new to gardening and want to know how prepare the flower bed, what type of soil I need (if necessary) and any tips on types of flowers to plant. Thanks alot!

A. Start by amending the soil. Soil by analogy: As we require food to support us so do plants. Our digestive system works to break down dinner to supply the basic units that will become us structurally, and provide energy, so soil acts to feed plants. Soil requires a steady supply of organic mater to support the worms and micro-organisms, which digest the organics into available plant nutrients. Then just as we take vitamins to complement our diet we can give plants trace minerals and other supplements but these are no substitute for the staple of organic matter to feed the plants. Balance and moderation are key. You can do a visual soil survey by digging a small hole. First look at the hole and take some soil in hand. Check your soil's… [cont.]
