Dream Yoga Retreat April 12th -15th

Admin from Nyima Tashi Kagyu Buddhist Centre

Registration now Open
BOOKINGS CLOSE 31ST MARCH
In March 2008 Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche gave a series of talks on Dream Yoga offering a comprehensive overview of the philosophy of dreams as presented in Tibetan Buddhism, an in-depth analysis both in terms of one's psychological states and ones physical well being, we are pleased to present these original talks in their entirety. These precious Video recordings will be presented on the big screen for an IN PERSON audience.

What is Real? What is not Real? What is True? What is not True?

"Our mind is always involved in determining what kind of experiences that we have, we see how our mind and even how our body are intimately related, so we cannot understand the practice of Dream Yoga if we cannot appreciate this notion. Dream yoga is a meditation practice. When we worry, when we anticipate things, when we remember things we use images so imagery becomes a very powerful tool, whatever image comes to our mind, then that arouses our emotions, feelings and passions. Buddhism has always emphasized the notion of interplay, interplay between fact and fiction, reality and unreality. Rinpoche will present Dream Yoga in the context of the Buddhist tradition and in terms of why Dream Yoga is important."

Tips on Choosing the Right Mattress Size for Quality Sleep Every Night

Marketing Manager from Beds4U Newmarket

When it comes to getting a good night's sleep, the right mattress size plays a crucial role.


You might have heard myths about beds and frames and which size suits you.



Today, we're here to demystify these myths and provide a size-by-size comparison to help you find the perfect fit for your needs.


Finding the Perfect Fit

Selecting the right mattress size is akin to finding the perfect fit in a world of options.


Much like trying on clothes or shoes, your mattress size should cater to your individual needs and preferences.


Let's explore some key factors to consider when finding the perfect fit for your mattress:


1. Personal Preferences.

Consider your sleeping habits and personal space preferences.


Do you like to sprawl out or curl up?

Are you a solo sleeper, or do you share the bed with a partner, kids, or pets?


Understanding your personal preferences is essential in determining the ideal mattress size.


2. Bedroom Size.

Take the dimensions of your bedroom into account when choosing a mattress size.


A spacious bedroom can accommodate larger mattress sizes, whereas smaller bedrooms may require more compact options to ensure ample space for movement and furniture placement.


3. Sleeping Partners.

If you share the bed with a partner, consider their sleeping habits and space requirements.


A larger mattress size, such as a queen or king, provides ample space for both individuals to move comfortably without disturbing each other's sleep.


What Size Should You Get?

Let's break it down size by size:


Single Mattress (91cm x 188cm). Ideal for kids' rooms, guest rooms, or small bedrooms. A single mattress is also a good option for individuals who prefer sleeping alone and value space conservation.

Double Mattress (137cm x 188cm). Also known as a full-size mattress, this option offers more room to stretch out than a single mattress. It's suitable for couples who like to snuggle or for individuals who appreciate extra space.

Queen Mattress (153cm x 203cm). The queen mattress is one of the most popular choices for couples. It provides ample space for two people to sleep comfortably without feeling cramped. It's also a great option for individuals who enjoy sprawling out.

King Mattress (167cm x 203cm). The king mattress offers the most space out of all the standard sizes. It's perfect for couples who want plenty of room to move around or for families who like to co-sleep with young children or pets.

Choosing the Perfect Mattress Size for Your Sleep Needs

Mattress sizes can vary around the world, which can sometimes lead to confusion. In New Zealand, we follow standard sizes such as single, double, queen, and king.


However, it's essential to consider your personal preferences and the dimensions of your bedroom and furniture when choosing a mattress size.


Selecting the right mattress size is crucial for a good night's sleep.


By understanding the differences between single, double, queen, and king mattresses, you can make an informed decision that meets your needs and preferences.


At Beds4U, we're committed to helping you find the perfect mattress size.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
