Housely
It’s not easy to find the perfect person these days is it? With divorce rates exceeding 50% in the United States, men and women of all ages are living the single life. And with numbers constantly increasing, the world is adapting to people being more independent and fending for themselves. Today we’re going to focus on the men. While living alone does have its advantages, equipping your new pad all on your own can seem like a challenge. We’re here to help. Here are some highly desirable items to make single living both comfortable and stylish.
Memory Foam Bed
For comfort and practicality, nothing beats a “Memory foam” bed. TEMPUR-Pedic mattresses come in several varieties, with a type of mattress for every of customer. No frills, no fuss, and best of all, no electronics to short out. Let’s face it, bachelors don’t need an adjustable side number bed, because they live alone right? Plus, TEMPUR-Pedic sells bed frames and pillows that go with the mattress, so it’s one stop shopping!
Their selection includes:
- The TEMPUR-Breeze: A bed that stays cool even when you’re overheated
- The TEMPUR-Contour: A firm contouring mattress
- The TEMPUR-Cloud: A softer mattress that provides cushioned support
- The TEMPUR-Flex: A flexible mattress that conform to your body.
Futon
It’s inevitable that an overnight guest is going to stay over, whether it’s mom and dad or your friend who has had too much to drink. Having a futon bed that opens to a queen size bed is the handiest way to have a convertible bed that does double duty as a sofa. One great place to shop for stylish futons is Futon Planet where they have a wide variety of queen size futons that are fashionable and affordable.
Food Storage Sealer
Many meats like pork chops, steaks, and chicken breasts are sold in family packs. For a single person on a budget, buying in bulk saves money. But what to do with the leftovers? Simply wrapping the other pieces in foil or plastic wrap will not preserve freshness, and the product will most likely come out with freezer burn. To solve this problem a bachelor needs a food storage sealing kit that takes out the air and locks in freshness. Food Saver carries a wide variety of vacuum sealers kits, complete with air tight storage bags and containers. That way single servings can be ready in your freezer, and you can take out one extra if having a guest.
A top level stereo system
Living alone, you’ll want a compact stereo/CD system that produces quality sound, without taking up half the living room. Bose® Wave systems carries everything a bachelor needs to set up a compact, deluxe sound system at an affordable price to fit any budget. Don’t forget the headphones, which are also sold by this company, unless you live in a house out in the middle of nowhere, which is unlikely if you are a bachelor. Most apartment and condo walls are quite thin, and you don’t want any noise complaints.
CCTV Camera/Security Camera
Your building may say they have CCTV; however, what about right outside your door? It’s too late for the “playback” after a break in happens. It’s best to have your own system in place, as a manual peephole doesn’t give you a wide view of exactly who is standing outside your door. Wiseup sells everything from personal apartment peekhole cameras to digital spy equipment so you can see what is going on in at outside of your place even when you are not home. Does your apartment manager watch pay per view movies at your place while you’re at work? This is the way to monitor your home for your security and that of your guests. These cameras are designed to provide discrete, accurate surveillance at a variety of prices.
Ergonomic Computer Desk and Chair
These days, more and more single folks bring work home from the office, or telecommute at least part of the time. Give your neck and back a break by having your home office equipped with a desk and chair that can convert a sitting desk to a standing model in seconds. Wayfair carries adjustable position desks as well as floating desks that hang neatly on your wall. Wayfair also carries ergonomic kneeling chairs and high back office chairs with neck rests, plus big and tall executive chairs made by Serta, so working at home does not have to compromise your spine.
Reclining Chair
When work is done, a recliner can be a single person’s favorite spot for relaxation. La-Z Boy is still the premier seller of recliners. From luxurious genuine leather to plush fabric styles, there’s hundreds of styles from which to choose. La-Z boy also has matching ottomans that double as storage space. If room allows, get a twin recliner, or double reclining sofa, for when that special someone stops by for a relaxing evening.
One Cup Coffeemaker With Travel Mug
Mornings can be hectic and when living alone there isn’t someone to hand you that much needed cup of java as you head out the door. Handle it yourself with a personal coffeemaker. Black and Decker carries single serve coffeemakers with built in travel mugs. No more wasting time stopping at the coffee shop or convenience store when you can have your favorite brand of coffee fresh and ready to go when you are.
Crank Washing Machine
Many bachelor pads don’t have a hook up for a washing machine, so what happens when a busy single guy is out of coins or out of time? One handy solution is to get a portable crank washer that can be easily used to wash and spin a dress shirt or a few pairs of briefs in a flash. Easy Go Products makes the popular Easy Go Washer that requires no electricity and handles a small load of laundry between trips to the Laundromat. Simply add detergent and spin the handle. Hang on your shower rack or buy a portable drying rack available at many retail box stores to hang dry the clothes afterward. Easy Go Products also carries portable clothes dryers if you want your clothes ready in a hurry.
Valuable Safe
Once you leave home and your mom hands you your birth certificate and other important documents, you need a safe place to store them. Protecting your valuables from theft, flood or fire makes a home safe a necessity. Empire Safes have a wide array of safes, many that are water and fire resistant, that will help keep your valuables and important documents secure.
