Hop To Bensons For Savvy Storage Solutions
Savvy space saving shoppers will be hopping to Bensons for Beds this season, for the best selling Hip Hop bed with an all-new storage system.
A contemporary wooden bed frame, Hip Hop’s crisp clean lines have continually made it a hot favourite, but the availability of an ottoman lift up bed option, is set to further its appeal amongst hoard-aholics and neat freaks.
The bed works by raising the entire slatted base through a hydraulic system, to reveal a massive storage area – ideal to stow bulky items such as out-of-season bedding, suitcases or even the once-a-year Christmas decorations.

Understanding Your Carbon Footprint
We’ve all heard the terms: carbon footprint, carbon off-setting, carbon neutral… but how many of us actually know what our carbon footprint is? More to the point, how on earth do we go about reducing it.
That’s where AlertMe’s new carbon footprint tool comes in. The company has developed a nifty new widget that allows you to measure your carbon output and convert it into examples (and costs) that you actually understand.
For example, a daily spin of the tumble dryer generates about 300kg of CO2, which is equivalent to driving from Glasgow to Brighton and back.
Not only that – it also costs you about £100 in electricity a year. So not only do you ‘get it’, you’ve also got the power to reduce it.
