Q. My son loves the outdoors. He wants his room to be a camping theme. In other words, he wants a tent to sleep in, things with boats, fishing, etc. I would love for him to have a tent to sleep in, but I also want to put his mattress in the tent so he won't have to sleep on the floor!! Is this doable? How big of a tent would I have to get? Can you even put a tent up in your house without having to stake it down?
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks!


Answer
there are many toy tents available these days for kids in the market made of parachute material that are long lasting and i guess they are big enough to accomodate a mattress, if not, even if the mattress peaks out a little, it is no problem, you can rope in the tent higher and it will give a spread over effect, these tents are meant for small children only and can be placed in the rooms!

along with it, you can go to a supermarket and check out the fishing section, there you will find wooden boats decorated in corners, you can buy one of these and place it in one corner of the room, it will give the out door effect, you can also get a artifical tree to place in one corner of the room, it will all enhance the outdoor effect, apart from that, try to paint the room in light green and light brown combination or even sky blue color to foster the image of being outdoors

Is it bad to keep an air mattress constantly inflated?

We have big air mattress that we use in our spare bedroom (we're still broke post-college kids). Is it bad for the bed to keep it always inflated like a permanent bed? Does it wear it out or stretch it out? Should we deflate it when we're not using it?


Answer
It doesn't hurt it a bit.Eventually it will start leaking from age,as plastic gets brittle and cracks.We've used one when visiting my parents; with three kids for years, as they have a small house.We've still got the Coleman ones we've used for camping since 2000.The first time we used them,Ohio was in a flash flood watch and I told my wife we could use them like boats as the tent got rained on.She didn't believe me,and stayed up all night after the rain stopped.Try goodwill and Salvation Army stores for used furniture.They have couches for $100-200 dollars,including sofa beds.Be very picky as it is sold "AS IS".
