Air Mattress Purchase Information: Air Beds Function as Short Term Solution For Residents Displaced By Hurricane Katrina
(ContentDesk) September 17, 2005 -- In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, millions of Louisiana residents have been displaced. Finding housing is a serious problem -- in many areas of Louisiana, it is simply impossible to find a bed. A new web site provides pricing and valuable product comparison information about a short term solution: air beds and air mattresses. Air beds a cheap way for displaced citizens to house themselves with friends, in campgrounds, or any other area they can find space. The Air Mattress Buyer's Guide, at www.airmattressinfo.com, compares various products, from the cheapest (but functional) beds to the higher end, and provides tips for getting a good night's sleep on an air mattress.
Areas across Louisiana and beyond have been inundated with residents of New Orleans. In nearby areas such as Lafayette and Baton Rouge, housing markets have been flooded with people seeking a place to stay. When asked about potential housing, real estate agents as far north as Alexandria simply laughed and stated that evacuees should not even come there unless they had family in the area. Many companies have also relocated entire offices from New Orleans to the smaller cities in the immediate vicinity. Some have even gone so far as to simply buy up vast quantities of local housing, pushing affordable space out of the reach of many evacuees.
While hotels have spaces available in some areas, many residents cannot afford the expense. Temporary housing solutions such as air beds allow evacuees to stay with family and friends who might not otherwise have space. Even with the city reopening, people will have great difficulty finding a place to sleep. Many houses, while no longer underwater, have been flooded with large amounts of water and no longer have a viable place to sleep. Regular mattresses have been ruined, and there simply are not enough beds in the area for even New Orleans residents who choose to return and who can afford it to purchase a new bed.
Information at www.airmattressinfo.com permits users to compare several potential air mattresses, ranging in price from $20 to several hundred. Because they are inflatable and can be easily shipped, air beds provide a stop gap solution for die-hard New Orleans residents who are eager to return to their homes..

How to get started with deep beds
The use of deep beds as a method of growing crops has become very popular with organic gardeners for several reasons, including:
- once set up, the amount of work you have to do every year (digging and so on) is much reduced
- there is an improvement in soil structure because of reduced compaction from being walked on
- you can cut down on the amount of compost or fertiliser you use, because you don't waste it on areas that aren't going to be used for growing.

Buying A Wholesale Tanning Bed
The tanning industry is showing no signs of stopping. If you ever wanted to open a tanning salon, now is the time to buy wholesale tanning beds. Many retailers sell tanning beds at wholesale costs. The best place to buy wholesale is online, since there are no warehouses or sales staff to pay. Online vendors have special buying relationships with manufacturers because of the high sales volume they generate.
(Furthermore, even if you want to buy a single bed at wholesale cost, just contact a web vendor and ask whether you can piggyback on another customer's large order.)
Another way to buy wholesale is to contact the manufacturer. They are always looking for free advertising by selling to potential commercial tanning bed salon entrepreneurs. You can save even more money by proposing an agreement whereby you would market a manufacturer's products exclusively.

A Look at Wooden Bunk Beds
Wooden bunk beds are a very popular type of bunk bed and have many advantages over metal bunk beds. Specifically, wooden bunk beds are often safer since there is no need to worry about metal or weld cracking.
The main disadvantages of wooden bunk beds are size and bulk. Wood is much thicker than the metal tubing used on beds and, as such, takes up a lot of space and is very heavy. As a result, moving a wooden bunk bed is an ordeal and not something you want to do very often. Likewise, shipping these beds is fairly expensive, although if you buy online and out-of-state, you will save money on sales tax.
Wooden bunk beds are often quite elegant.
Many have shelves, drawers and/or desks built right into them, and can be finished in a variety of wood stains. The beds can make a bedroom more appealing to children, who can draw on them, put stickers and hang posters on them, depending upon the desires of their parents.
When selecting a bunk...
