No surprises here, folks. If you’ve been following Practically Apparent for the last few months, you’ll already know the top posts for the month of July. If you’re new here, welcome! These posts make a great starting place, since they’ve held the top three most popular posts for four months and counting. Whether you want furniture that does triple duty or some solid mattresses without breaking the bank, this roundup can help.

Hemnes Daybed: This daybed goes the distance. Whether you use it as a couch substitute or in one of the bed options, it will give you lots of comfort for a very reasonable price point. Need a guest bed? Check. How about a king-sized bed? It can do that, too, thanks to the pull out support. Want more storage? Three built-in drawers underneath can be accessed in the sofa, twin, or king bed configuration.

Battleship Shots: My kids still love this game they got as a holiday gift several years ago. Instead of the usual hidden board, this game lets players see all the action. They take turns launching lightweight balls at their opponent’s side, trying to land them in small plastic boats. The first player to sink all their opponents’ ships wins. But either player can win in one shot thanks to the red ball. This fast-paced game works well for a variety of ages and skill levels.

Twin Mattresses: We’ve used these twin mattresses for years for guests in conjunction with our Hemnes Daybed. A variety of family and friends have slept on them with zero complaints. The hybrid mattresses come delivered to your door, making them easier to get in place with less effort. They will take a day or two to reach their full shape once you unwrap them. The low price point makes them great for kids and the springs go the distance to offer comfort and durability for years to come.
