The luxury bedding market has always been innovative, and Elegant Linens http://www.elegantlinenspc.com keeps pace with the demands of the luxury sheeting market by providing luxury sheets for the unusual mattress sizes in the USA that have made their way to popularity within the luxury bedding customer realm. Specifically, luxury bed sheets for extra long twin beds, California king and queen beds, and Olympic queen beds have been previously difficult to find. However, with a refined understanding of the luxury bedding market, Elegant Linens offers such ?Hard to Find Bedding? on their site, as well as the opportunity for customers to place custom orders for the ever-widening variety of bed dimensions available.

Part of the reason luxury bedding designers have been modifying their luxury bed sheets sizing is due to the significant changes in the US mattress market since the 1900s. Once upon a time, coil spring (innerspring) mattresses were standard fare, and unusual mattress sizes in the USA did not exist. Instead, the mattress sizes were very standard as well: twin, full, queen, king. Prior to the era of astronautically inspired memory foam and the subsequent Swedish Tempur-Pedic and pillowtop mania, a bed was basically a bed, sheets were easy to find and the dimensions of the beds were lovingly consistent. With the advancements in technology and the additional research data available, however, an inevitable shift in bed design began.

Simultaneously, further information became available regarding health and medical conditions that could be meditated, in part, by sleeping a particular way (torso slightly inclined, feet slightly inclined, etc) on a customized (hard, med, soft) surface. Add to those concepts a more savvy consumer culture in which having choices is paramount, and one can quickly see why and how the current diversity of beds available developed.

Part of the concern in today’s bed market is regarding what is literally in the bed ? inside the bed. Coil springs are, of course, metal, and they have a tendency to uncoil, shift or puncture through bedding material over time. According to various sources, NASA did in fact help spur some changes in the bedding market when it developed a ?space foam,? originally intended for use in the seat cushions of US shuttles to help astronauts’ bodies absorb the shock of entering space. The Swedish were apparently the first to take interest in this foam technology and hence the Tempur-Pedic ?memory foam? revolution began. While innerspring mattresses were and are still popular, their developers were quick to add layers around the springs to give a ?foamier? feel to their beds. This, in part, has led to the change in the depth of current mattresses and the necessity for deeper, fitted-sheeting gussets (pockets) that can accommodate the new varieties of mattress thickness. Along with innerspring and memory foam mattresses, modern beds also come in number beds and air beds ? both with adjustable firmness ? water beds and finally latex beds, made from either natural latex or natural/synthetic blends. Concerns with ?what’s in the bed? have also led to the industry’s creation of ?green? beds ? such as the all-natural latex bed, which is free of the petrochemicals that may be found in synthetic latex beds, as well as other types of beds. Along with eco-friendly consumers, allergen sufferers would do well to research the inner-bed content before purchase.

Access to the information is free and is available through TrendIQ.

Canadian Craving of the month

Cheesecake – the #1 searched food, with an increase of 123% over last year.

New trend: Corn muffins – up 771%%

Perogies – up 544%

The Russell & Smith dealer group, located in Houston Texas, has been defying automotive market trends with consistently strong sales figures. Despite what has been characterized by an overall “lull” in the market overall, they have been seeing consistently strong sales numbers from month to month for the past year and beyond. Russell & Smith has struck what can only be described as a delicate balance to give them this place. To effectively sell their used cars Houston-based dealers, and any dealer for that matter, has a lot to keep in the air, and the same goes for new cars.

News among car industry has been characterized by restrained excitement and galled forecasts. Figures consistently show grow, but well below prior estimates. The department of labor reported a growth of of 54,000 in the American job market for May, well below what analysts expected at around 165,000. What’s more, auto sales as a whole missed their expected mark of 13.1 million cars by 1.3 million, hitting just around 11.8 million in April.

As for consumer and investor confidence, stocks are far from rallying. GM had seen drops close to 15% in price since their IPO, and Ford Motors has been down by a nearly identical margin.

A slowed pace for part suppliers means of course reduced manufacturing pace overall, and a reduced national stock to meet the reduced demand. Such is not so for Russell & Smith’s dealerships. Their Ford, Mazda, and Honda stores are seeing strong sales numbers that fly in the face of the overall dwindling trends for the automotive industry. As their flagship, their Honda store is pushing more used Honda in Houston than any other dealer.

The balance they’ve managed to strike lies mostly in the targeted deployment of key marketing strategies, weighed against current trends and put against past expenditures on sales, which they’ve managed to cut considerably, greatly helping their bottom-line and allowing them to expend their marketing budget in the most effective way possible. They target internet search terms and location-based services to ensure that when they’re looking for a used Honda Houston buyers come to their door.

Wedding Dresses Magazine “12 Wedding Dress Trends for 2011″:

12. Light Fabrics

Light fabrics, such as tulle and organza, are making a huge splash this year. Some recent examples include Marchesa wedding dresses 2011 collection and Rivini wedding dresses 2011 collection.

11. Couture Wedding Dresses Sample Sales

Everyone today wants a couture wedding dress. Now, with the help of e-commerce, brides are able to buy their favorite high-fashion bridal looks at discounted prices through sample sales.

10. Alternative Wedding Dresses Styles

Brides are getting bored of the classic white wedding dress. This year began the trend of new quirky, alternative styles for brides. The new BHLDN bridal line, which makes gorgeous vintage and alternative styles, highlights what today’s modern bride is moving toward.

9. Black and White Wedding Dresses

The looks of the black accented sash is another growing trend this year. Brides who are looking for a sophisticated look can chose this trend or create something similar to this Rivini wedding dress.

8. One-Shoulder Wedding Dresses

While the strapless wedding dress has dominated the bridal scene for at least a decade, a new trend that has been growing in momentum is the one-shoulder look. With a touch of a Greek goddess influence, these gowns are both chic and sophisticated.

7. All Over Sparkle

From Swarovski crystals to real diamonds, brides in 2011 want to sparkle! Wedding dresses, like this one by Stephen Yearick, show that brides are looking for wedding dresses that look more like party gowns.

6. 3D, Big Flowers

The floral trend continues into 2011. But it’s no longer about floral accents or embellishments; this year it’s all about exaggerated floral details that look like they’re in full bloom.

5. Cap Sleeves

Another jab to the strapless wedding dress trend is the return of sleeves; cap sleeves, that is. Based on recent runway shows, designers such as Angel Rivera and Monique Lhuillier wedding dresses are bringing the look back.

4. V-Necks

V-Neck wedding dresses are also growing in momentum. Brides are learning that the neckline is flattering on small-chested women, adds support for large-chested women and elongates the neck.

3. All Over Lace

Your mother might have been decked in lace for her wedding dress, but now the trend is making a powerful surge back. Celebrity brides such as Ivanka Trump and Nicole Richie both chose lacey looks for their wedding day.

2. Convertible Wedding Dresses

The rise of mini wedding dresses has persuaded many brides to purchase two wedding dresses, one for the ceremony (the traditional dress) and one for the reception (the mini dress). A more affordable option is a single wedding dress that can be dressed up or dressed down. For example, recent celebrity bride Kellie Pickler wore a classic Badgley Mischka wedding gown with a removable ball gown skirt.

1. Big Ballroom Skirts

With two royal weddings around the corner, brides want to look as pretty as a princess by wearing big ball gown wedding dresses. Statement wedding dresses from Lazaro, Ines DiSanto and Augusta Jones dominated the runway this year and are sure to be this year’s biggest wedding dress trend.
