Nothing can support you as firmly as a Tempurpedic mattress. Imagine a night spent without endless tossing and turning to find a comfortable position! Sleep dreams can be realized with a Tempurpedic mattress.
The most immediate difference between a Tempurpedic mattress and its competitors is the lack of bulky padding and springs. Tempurpedic mattresses are totally a breed apart. Tempurpedic mattresses were actually developed based on technology first developed by NASA. Space travel and the mattress industry may not seem natural partners, but the technology NASA was seeking to develop to reduce the effects of G-force pressure on their astronauts is the same goal Tempurpedic mattress makers had for their beds: to relieve pressure.
A Tempurpedic mattress works to relieve pain and stiffness by evenly distributing pressure throughout the body. It offers great support for your spine and joints. Instead of bedsprings pushing against you, you feel cradled in the perfect position, almost weightless. There is no stress on your muscles and joints as there can be with traditional mattresses, especially one which sags. You may even find yourself not moving the entire night. As a result, Tempurpedic mattresses are perfect for those who suffer from restless leg syndrome or painful conditions like arthritis. Nothing makes you awaken more rested than a night on a tempurpedic mattress.
If you have trouble sleeping, wake up feeling tired from rolling constantly or are stiff and pained, it is probably the result of a poor mattress. A Tempurpedic mattress really can make a difference in how you sleep and how you feel.
If You're not Thinking Organic, You Should Be
Recently there has been a great deal of controversy concerning crib mattresses, as there have been several studies in the last couple of years that have proved the likelihood of a link between crib mattresses and SIDS.
Though many people, especially those in government and large corporate offices, would like to sweep this crib mattress controversy under the rug, the evidence that there is a link between crib mattresses and SIDS, along with many other childhood illnesses, is very compelling-compelling enough that new parents are now advised by their pediatricians to place their infants on their backs to sleep.
Why? So they won't breathe in and become ill from the toxic fumes emitted from the crib mattresses.
Toxic gases from crib mattresses is a chilling thought, but one that is all too real. Typical crib mattresses today are too often made with materials comprised of the least expensive petroleum-based parts possible. The synthetic compounds these parts are made from affect practically every aspect of a crib mattress, from the coils to the cover to the foam.
Polyurethane foam, benzene, vinyl (PVC), and flame retardants are just a few of the components in crib mattresses that are known to contain and emit toxic chemicals. Benzene alone carries not only the threat of harmful effects on bone marrow and a decrease in red blood cells which can cause anemia, but also increases the risk for cancer, particularly leukemia and other cancers of organs which process blood.
Other dangers from toxic chemical emissions in crib mattresses are allergies and overall ill health and lethargy in children. Also, many childhood disorders are believed to have a link to crib mattresses. Some of these disorders include asthma, ADD/ADHD, and more seriously, perhaps, autism.
Considering that an infant spends up to sixteen hours a day in his or her bed, the risks and threats contained in today's typical crib mattress are too serious to ignore.
So what is the solution?
Organic crib mattresses provide the best alternative. Though some experts say that wrapping a crib mattress in a particular type of plastic (which is a bit complicated and which physicians are skeptical of as well) or using an organic crib cover is sufficient to protect your child from toxic chemical fumes, your child's health is just too important to skimp on such an important part of his or her young life.
Organic crib mattresses are made from materials that do not carry the toxic chemical dangers found in conventional mattresses. And fortunately as people have become more environmentally aware, it is much easier to find and purchase an organic crib mattress than ever before.
This is good news for all new parents or parents-to-be who already have so many worries on their plates. Thanks to cutting-edge research and companies that were willing to put that research to use developing totally safe organic crib mattresses, their child's crib mattress shouldn't and doesn't have to be one of those worries-and that means everyone sleeps better at night.

Excellent Uses for Air Mattresses
If you have not seen an air mattress lately, then you really have no idea of the great number of things you can use an air mattress for. The days of the old thin relatively useless air mattresses are long gone. The air mattresses of today have evolved into comfort beds that can be inflated with a hair dryer. If you think that the only time an air mattress comes in handy is a camping trip then you really need to have another think.
Here are a few instances where an air mattress is extremely useful:
* Camping. Of course we couldn’t leave this instance out of the mix. These mattresses are perfect for any camping trip whether you are ‘roughing it’ in a tent, staying in an RV, or a cabin, an air mattress can help you get a great nights sleep.
* Overnight guests. You no longer have to have an extra bed that takes up perfectly useful space in your home in order to have quests spend the night. With an air mattress any room can become a guest bedroom in seconds and when they wake in the morning you can have the entire mattress put away in a matter of minutes.
* Dorm rooms. If you have kids preparing for colleges I am sure you will find that adequate bedding can be expensive. Even if they have dorm mattresses, those mattresses can be rough for a good nights sleep and some of today’s dorms and college apartments aren’t even equipped with basic bedding anymore. These air mattresses offer a valid alternative for sleep options.
* Sleepovers and inside campouts with the kids. If you have kids then I’m sure you’re already thinking of the great fun your kids can have with an air mattress. You can have indoor campouts and slumber parties and sleepovers galore.
If this doesn’t have your imagination going, I’m not sure what it would take. Be creative and think of all the fun things you can do with an air mattress. They sure have come a long way since the days of old. If you haven’t tried one lately, you might find that they are more comfortable than your bed. So try one out today and see what thoughts come to mind.

Exactly What Is Memory Foam?
Memory foam mattresses quite literally, fell from outer space into our bedrooms. And this space aged technology is revolutionising the bedding world, offering greater sleep comfort than was previously possible. The following is a brief history of how this remarkable product came about.
Memory foam was originally developed by NASA to ease the pressure of extreme G-forces during space shuttle take off. However, it was never used in the space program. The initial memory foam, known as T-foam, gave off too much obnoxious gas for it to be used in a closed environment, such as a bedroom. T-foam also wasn't very durable - it would often compress or crack over time.
However, a small Swedish company called Tempur-Pedic saw the promise of this new material. Tempur-Pedic worked on and refined its version of memory foam; eventually manufacturing a version of memory foam it called TEMPUR. Initially the manufacturing process was expensive and the mattress was only sold to medical establishments that needed mattresses for patients that suffered back problems or from pressure point pain. The improvement of patients' sleep was astounding. Thankfully, the company realized the vast commercial profit that could be made by selling memory foam mattresses to the general public. The manufacturing process was further refined and costs were reduced - although the Tempur-Pedic still remains an expensive purchase, and shortly after, an affordable Tempur-Pedic memory foam mattress went on sale to the general public.
But exactly how does memory foam work?
Memory foam conforms to the exact shape of the sleeper's body. It is a very soft material and isn't able to provide the support necessary, which is why it is often used as a topper on mattresses.
Foam has been used in mattresses for many years. It compresses under body weight and later springs back to its original shape. But memory foam mattresses just don't compress; they mould to the shape of the sleeper's body and they don't spring immediately back into their original shape. The cells of a memory foam mattress employ an open cell structure, which means the cells of foam have holes in them. These compress fully and spread their air pressure to adjoining cells. This feature of memory foam is what really helps to reduce pressure points.
As well as yielding under weight, the cells of a memory foam mattress are heat sensitive; the more heat the more they compress. Temperature sensitivity helps the memory foam mattress to further conform to the exact shape of the sleeper's body.
Is all memory foam the same?
No. Many manufactures now claim to make memory foam mattresses. However, the cell structure of the memory foam isn't always the same. Some are made from low density memory foam or layered with other, cheaper foam products - to keep costs down. As a guideline, the mattress should have at least 3" of 5 lb density memory foam. A thickness of 2" may be adequate but a 3" memory foam mattress does give a better 'feel'. Buying thicker than 3" does have a drawback; memory foam is a soft material and, over time, can loose its shape. You can buy a 4" topper, but you would expect to replace this at some point in the future.
If you're seriously thinking of buy a memory foam mattress then buy one from one of the more reputable and established manufacturers. A memory foam mattress from Serta or Sealy is a good option as is buying from the original - and market leader - Tempur-Pedic.

Why Sleep On A Round Mattress?
A round mattress, like any other mattress, is just another way to get a good night sleep, isn’t it? Or is a round mattress more? Is a round mattress in some way even better? The ancient Greek Philosopher Plato, might have said, “Sleeping on a round mattress would be the ideal mattress.” Certainly Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Geodesic Sphere would have preferred a round mattress to the conventional square. In fact, what better addition to a round house, than a round mattress?
A square mattress just wouldn’t fit in a round house. But why round? What makes the circle so much more important to a philosopher, or a scientist? In one word; space… According to Plato, who was well versed in geometry, the sphere is the ideal structure of the universe. While Buckminster Fuller enjoyed the sphere’s philosophical nature, he preferred to see it practically. Between the sphere and the tetrahedron, it is the sphere that occupies the smallest surface area in total, while containing the largest internal area, than any other solid. While the opposite is true for the tetrahedron, the same concept is used in analyzing the area of the circle and triangle. Geometrically, ROUND is bigger on the inside, and smaller on the outside. Paradoxal, but true; even if two triangles are fit together to make a square; the circle still has more space inside it.
To the sleeper, space is one of the most important characteristics of comfort, because it means having the freedom to move the body to its most preferred position, and still staying within the relaxing support zone of the bed. Space, is more than comfort, space is freedom. Not just freedom of movement for one single person, round mattresses, can be made to accommodate, couples as well.
The comfort zone however, for some, can be different, than for others. One of the nicest features of the round mattress is it’s adaptability to individual needs. As there is a larger inner special area than in the conventional square or rectangular mattresses, the circle allows customized split mattresses to be far roomier than traditional split mattresses. So that if of the two people sleeping in the bed, one needs a totally different kind of mattress than the other, a split round mattress can provide the ideal mattress sleep requirements for both.
If a sleeper is to feel relaxed on a mattress, it is important that the mattress is one which abides to their sense of aesthetics. Many people prefer round mattresses, merely because of their aesthetic nature. Round mattresses just seem to be more pleasing to the human eye. To this, Plato would most agree. As the circle invoked in him such a spiritual side, that just isn’t the case with most people. Most people just think it is a nice looking mattress, something different, something unique, to give life a little bit of taste. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so no really logical conclusion can be made as to why people seem to think a round mattress is aesthetic, the important thing is that the person feels better sleeping on it rather than a traditional one, the point is relaxation.
A round mattress is more spacious and offers more freedom of movement. Due to its unique design, its round nature, it becomes far more adaptable to individual needs as soft as a cloud to as firm as a mountain. You will feel like you are floating on the surface of a timid blue lake. You will relax.

Mattresses Help Relieve Stress and Pressure of the Modern World
Mattresses help relieve stress and pressure of the modern world In the modern society that we live in today, stress is an inevitable disease that the young and old have to deal with on a daily basis. That is why the mattress that we use to sleep on at night is so important to our health and well-being. The mattress that we sleep on has a DIRECT effect on how healthy and effective we are when we are awake!
Tempur-Pedic mattresses – developed for astronauts
Mattress and bedding manufacturers take their research and development to new heights as they continue to search for the most effective stress and pressure-relieving materials to offer consumers. Take the NASA-developed tempur-Pedic mattresses as an example. Tempur-Pedic mattresses were originally developed by NASA for astronauts. Because of the extreme environments that astronauts have to endure in outer space, their mattresses and beddings have to give them optimal comfort.
Tempur-Pedic mattresses can sense your weight and body temperature when you lie on top of the mattress. The tempur-Pedic mattress will, then, conform to every single angle and curve of your body. Satisfied consumers can attest to the comfort and deep sleep that they enjoy every single night on their tempur-Pedic mattresses. Tempur-Pedic mattresses help in relieving pressure, comfort to stressed body and minds. They also help in preventing pain and reducing instances of tossing and turning during the night. Tempur-Pedic mattresses induce deep sleep and complete rest throughout the night.
High quality mattresses outlast their lower quality counterparts A high quality bedding and mattress will usually last for 10 years or more. But for high quality mattresses, the mattress manufacturer will go as far as to give their buyers a 20-year warranty! In fact, the quality of the latest and newest mattresses comes with anti-allergy, anti-mite terry cotton covers so that it discourages harvesting of those pesky creatures on the mattress.
Mattresses utilizing the latest technology are also easy to change because they realize that cleanliness and hygiene is of utmost importance to a good night’s sleep. Cleanliness and consistent changing also contributes towards the lifespan of the mattress.
The technology behind tempur-Pedic mattresses
Tempur-Pedic mattresses have 2 layers of memory foam. One layer, the mattress layer at the bottom, is called the support layer. This mattress layer is firmer, hence, able to provide support to the consumers. The top later is called the comfort layer. This is the layer that you will lie on on top of the mattress. Many copies of tempur-Pedic mattresses have only one layer in their mattresses – hence are not able to fully provide the kind of comfort and support to consumers. Even if the copied mattresses have double-layers, the quality of the copy mattresses varies from the original because they simply do not have the technology to produce the kind of quality mattresses that the original tempur-Pedic mattresses can provide!

Shop For Tempurpedic Mattress The Foam Density
Tempurpedic mattresses are considered to be a fine-quality mattress of all mattresses that are available in the market. But these are very expensive, because of which everyone cannot afford it. However, the amount charged is worth the quality and comfort offered by it. There are two things that should be kept in mind when anyone goes to shop for tempurpedic mattresses.
Density of the foam - memory foam density refers to the weight of one cubic foot of memory. Generally, the memory foam density of a tempurpedic mattress is 5 lb. The difficulty in this is that while for some people 5 lb is too firm and tough, this is why mattresses with the density of 3 lb and 4 lb are introduced.
It is advisable to shop for tempurpedic mattress that has a density of 4 lb because the one that has a density lower than it would not last longer and are very soft. However, a memory foam mattress of 4 or 5 lb normally last for more than 10 years.
The next thing to be considered when going to shop for tempurpedic mattress is Indentation Load Deflection or ILD. This shows how firm the memory foam is. It employs a scale to measure it from the range of 1 to 20. Here, 1 symbolizes the one that is very soft and 20 means the one which is firm. Most of the tempurpedic mattresses rating of ILD are 14, and other mattresses brand lies in the range from 8 and 14.
Furthermore, a warranty for 10 years is also provided for every tempurpedic products. This shows their confidence in the fine-quality products provided by them. It is also being heard that soon tempurpedic mattresses of 7 and 8 lb will also be available, but this is still an experiment and nothing have yet been introduced in the market that anyone can shop for tempurpedic products.

Mattress Shopping: Peaking Under The Hood
When purchasing a mattress, sometimes it is daunting or near-impossible to really conduct a thorough comparison shopping sessions because there are no universal standards that apply across the mattress and bedding industry.
However in many cases depending on the store you visit, there is a cross section view of their mattresses available for observation. From here is where you can get a better idea of what gives a particular mattress it's "personality".
The very outside layer of a mattress is called ticking. Usually the ticking's material is made out of polyester and/or cotton. Some other mattresses may have vinyl based ticking. These are usually found the cheaper mattresses.
In almost all cases there's an additional quilt that pads over the ticking. This is primarily for show only and doesn't have any real ramification with regards to the mattress quality.
The central padding is right below this quilted layer and usually is made up of foam. Press down on the foam to see if it's soft and comfortable to touch.
On top of the springs you will find the insulation padding which essentially prevents a person using the mattress to feel the springs. Coco pad generally makes this layer stiffer so that you decrease the likelihood of hitting the springs while lying on the mattress.
Other important elements include the coils which is measured in terms of gauges. The lower the number the firmer the mattress. Finally we have the foundation of a mattress called the box spring which helps put everything together.

How To Clean A Mattress
How to clean the mattress: Step 1-Prevention is better than cure
You must use a mattress pad. That is the first step to cleaning a mattress. Make sure that it is easy to wash and easy to remove and fit back.
How to clean the mattress: Step 2-Good old vacuuming
Vacuum the mattress often. Vacuum its sides, the box springs and every nook and corner. You set a routine. Vacuum the mattress every time you take mattress pad out to wash.
How to clean the mattress: Step 3-Flip and rotate
Flip the mattress and rotate it from time to time. This prevents rough use of the mattress and the pressure zones don't get defined.
How to clean the mattress: Step 4- Stains and pains
Stains are inevitable; if you must clean them try using mild soaps. It would be even better if you could get upholstery shampoo.
How to clean the mattress: Step 5- The trade secret We use something called Dry Suds to get rid of stubborn stains. It is easy to make. Mix a little detergent with warm water, beat it up in a beater. Now remove the froth and the stuff that remains is ideal to clean these stains.
How to clean the mattress: Step 6 Dry is Clean
Make sure that your mattress and mattress pads are dry and clean. You can occasionally air them in sun. If you work in the hotel industry like me and have to dry the mattresses at short notice before the customer arrives, there is nothing like a blow dryer. The hair dryer is ok at such times but it does not have the anti-bacterial properties of the sun. So drying it out in the sun is definitely the best option.

Cotton and Wool Mattress Pads
A mattress pad is a cover that fits on top of your mattress below the bottom sheet. It can add great comfort to your bed and help you sleep well.
There are many types of mattress pads but probably the two most common types are pads filled with wool and pads filled with cotton.
So, if you decide to buy a mattress pad you may be faced with a choice between a pad filled with wool and a pad filed with cotton. What are the advantages of these two types of pads?
The advantages of wool are:
* Science cannot match the quality of natural wool.
* Wool helps your body maintain a regular temperature.
* Wool assists in wicking away moisture from your body. Amazingly, wool traps moisture and releases it later. The result? A drier and healthier sleeping area for you.
* Wool fights against dust mites and mildew.
* Not only does wool repel water and dust naturally, it is difficult to ignite.
* Wool is a natural insulator, so a pad filled with wool will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
The advantages of cotton are:
* Organic cotton is hypoallergenic - this means it has a "decreased tendency to cause an allergic reaction". If you have an allergy problem, chat to your Doctor before you buy.
* Science has never been able to copy natural fibre.
* People have been enjoying cotton close to them for about 5000 years. What a recommendation for cotton!
* Cotton absorbs moisture that accumulates where you sleep. This keeps you and your bed dry.
* Cotton is soft and supple.
* Most cotton pads are easily washable and can be mended easily if damaged. Don't wash your cotton mattress pad in very hot water as it can cause shrinking.
* Cotton is resilient. Cotton is also a good natural insulator. This means your mattress pad is warm in winter and cool in summer.

Every new parent wants to ensure that her baby is healthy. Getting an organic crib mattress is a great way to start of a new life. These mattresses have never been treated with chemicals, so they make breathing easier and more comfortable – for parent and child.
New guidelines suggest that newborn babies need to be placed on their side or back for the safest sleeping. As the infant grows and begins to roll over on his own, the organic crib sheets become the most beneficial to the developing child. The organs of the infant are still growing and maturing and can be easily influenced. Offering a fresh, all natural alternative can be the best thing to encourage healthy development.
Natural products have been rising in popularity over the last few years. With the emphasis on global warming, especially after some of the sensationalized movies that have been produced lately, organic is the popular choice. It is also a healthier choice when it comes to many products. Organic crib mattresses, organic sheets, and other similar products breath easier, are better on the skin, and do not contain any harsh chemicals.
Organic Crib mattresses are not the easiest item to locate. Many of the discount and chain stores haven’t discovered the benefits of carrying the natural products. There focus is still on high prices to you, but low cost to them. The World Wide Web is becoming the best tool that new or expectant parents can find. Many of the online stores offer registers like the large retail stores offer.
Even veteran parents or grandparents want the best for their children. With a little investment of time and money, the best organic crib mattress can be found. Companies that specialize in products for the smallest of companies are gaining popularity through the World Wide Web.

Can a Mattress Really be Certified Organic?
The 90’s gave birth to a wave of organic consumerism, and with good cause. Organic agriculture by definition is a more sustainable, environmentally friendly practice than conventional agriculture. Consumers are attracted to the potential health benefits gained from fewer pesticides and chemicals in their food and household products. Organic bedding is no exception. A mattress free of synthetics and potentially harmful chemicals is in high demand.
Many companies are pushing their organic sleep solutions to an eager consumer, but it is important to be aware of what, exactly, is being offered. Mattresses labeled as organic contain organic materials, but almost never contain exclusively organic materials. Any mattress with an innerspring core is obviously not entirely organic, as steel by its very nature is not organic. There is no such thing as organic polyurethane, which is entirely chemical in composition and tends to outgas. The only other core material widely available today, is latex.
Latex generally falls into two categories, talalay, and natural. Talalay latex contains about 30% synthetic latex so is not organic, though it remains a premium sleep surface and is hypoallergenic. Natural latex, which is often called 100% natural (but is never quite 100% latex), cannot be organic either. This is due to the nature of processing latex. Ammonia is always added to the milky sap of the rubber tree to prevent coagulation. This ammonia is removed later in the processing through a rigorous rinsing process, but still prevents latex from being certifiably organic.
Other factors include additives such as soaps and curing agents, as well as the certification process. In order for a plantation to produce organically certified latex, it would have to undergo a rigorous inspection of production and handling procedures - needing to adhere to strict regulations such as: a 2 year period with no use of prohibited materials, regular inputs of organic material, no use of soluble mineral fertilizers, no use of chemical pesticides, and many others.
Despite not being labeled with the tag word organic, natural latex is without a doubt the best all natural sleep surface on the market today. It offers the best pressure point free support while remaining inert, and free of chemical out gassing, as well as the longest life of any core material on the market today. If a comfortable night’s sleep on a natural product is the goal, natural latex is the sleep surface to pursue.

Cleaning Tips For Your Mattress' Long Life
More than 30% of your life is spent sleeping. Now, if this statistic is true, which it is, then you would also want to have a comfortable and clean mattress to sleep on. How can you achieve this? You should therefore maintain the cleanliness of your mattress; make sure that it stays fresh for a much longer period. Use these helpful mattress cleaning tips to aid you in your cleaning task.
You must admit it, there are times when your mattress is stale-smelling; this kind of mattress is unfriendly especially to individuals with allergies. The common cause is dust mites. Make sure that you flip the mattress and vacuum it on all sides every 6 or 8 weeks. Remember to use your vacuum hose's hard surface and non-brush attachment.
To maintain the fresh smell of your mattress, put dryer sheets first before covering the mattress with beddings. The scents of dryer sheets vary, so make sure that you're quite comfortable with it, otherwise, change the dryers and choose a scent that you can sleep on at night comfortably.
It's impossible to find a used mattress without mildew or mold. For your health, purchase a new mattress if about 50% of your existing mattress is covered with mildew/mold. But if you're only dealing with a little area, you can salvage your mattress. When the weather is dry and sunny, take your mattress to the outdoors. Wear a mask and vacuum the mattress. Leave the mattress outside for the whole day and bring it in before dew settles in.
If you're a cigarette smoker, then your mattress might smell of cigarettes too. Again, take the mattress outside during a sunny and dry day. Spray some odor remover on the mattress and leave it under the heat of the sun. In the afternoon, bring the mattress inside and sprinkle some baking soda. Leave it on for the night and the following day, you can vacuum it.

These ratings can give you a good idea of what consumers are saying about products. You get to view the good and the bad so it is always a great idea to do a little research before getting started.
Several factors are considered when it comes to consumer ratings and when rating mattresses these factors are considered the most, comfort, durability, external appearance, price point, and warranty. The factors have to be so broad because while one bed might appeal to one person, it might no appeal at all to the other. Some people prefer firm mattresses and others do not care for firm at all.
The mattress ratings have to be developed over a length of criteria because each factor is different to each person while some will be mostly concerned with price and others will be concerned with quality. Often manufacturers conduct their own research to provide ratings for their own promotional ratings. You will want to refer to the genuine ratings before making a purchase. Sometimes the ratings are also conducted on the quality of the materials used.
Ratings have shown strong evidence that consumers who are health conscious tend to appeal more to the organic mattresses that are made of organic cotton and soft wool. In addition, special features of mattresses such as anti bacterial and dust mite repellent quality, resistance to flame, hypoallergenic and stress relieving features are not only considered in the ratings but are very important too, especially for allergy sufferers. Another mattress that rates highly is the memory foam mattress which contours to the shape of your body.
The inner components of a mattress are not visible to the naked eye and so people tend to rely on mattress ratings before making purchases because it is in the long run where people will come to discover the advantages or disadvantages of their mattress. One problem is that there does not seem to be a surplus of unbiased mattress reviews available. Mattress reviews are meant to inform the consumer whether a particular make and model is durable, comfortable, constructed well, and value for money. So once you have read through the entire mattress ratings then visit some local stores and check some out before you make your final purchase.

How To Choose A Mattress Protector For An Adjustable Bed Mattress
In order to protect a bed you need to do more than place clean sheets on the mattress once a week. You also need a mattress protector to help protector the fabric of the mattress as well as your overall investment. You can go in almost any store and find general mattress protectors for a decent price.

Tip #1 Flexibility
Many mattress protectors are simply like a sheet. They fit over the mattress and stay there without moving. They also help keep the sheets on the bed. However, adjustable bed mattresses move and as a result mattress protectors need to be compatible with this type of mattress. More than likely you will find what you are looking for in a department store that specializes in high end linens or over the Internet. Make sure you buy a mattress pad that is made specifically for an adjustable bed mattress.
Tip #2 Durability
Since your mattress is adjustable and will be moving more than your traditional mattress you will want to buy a mattress pad that is durable and that can live up to the wear and tear of an adjustable bed. An easy way to find this type of mattress protector is to search the Internet and see what other consumers have had to say. More than likely you will be able to find the mattress pad that works best for your particular mattress.
Tip #3 Price
Price always plays a role in anything you buy and the same goes for mattress protectors. The last thing you want to do is buy an expensive mattress protector that doesn’t fit your mattress and that you just don’t like. So, look around at the options, their respective prices, and do a little bit of investigating to find the one that is the best deal for you.
As you can see there are some easy ways for you to begin shopping for a mattress pad for your adjustable mattress. It may take a little longer to find a specialized mattress protector for your particular mattress, but if you know how to begin shopping you will be prepared.

Increasing Desire To Own A Quality Spring Air Mattress
The popularity of the spring air mattress over the past few years has increased dramatically. People are now buying the spring air mattress as a great alternative to the traditional spring mattress that has been bought by millions of people around the world in recent times. The increasing popularity of these mattresses is due to several reasons, some of which I will elaborate upon here.
The main reason for the increasing popularity of the spring air mattress is the fact that it has been found to be more comfortable than the standard mattress that has been bought in previous years. The level of comfort that cannot be achieved by a standard mattress is due to the state of the art technology that uses a contoured exterior that is inserted in to the surface of special foam called memory foam. This technology combined with the air mattress and springs provides a spring air mattress that distributes the body’s weight evenly across the whole mattress creating a very comfortable mattress to sleep on.
This revolutionary new spring design provides an air flow through the mattress which then provides cooling at the exterior of the mattress. This cooling effect helps to avoid a hot, sticky night sleep.
The cost of this spring air mattress can still be a bit higher than a regular mattress due to the concept not yet having caught up to the conventional mattresses. As time progresses and with the increasing popularity, prices will soon be decreased by the manufacturers to meet with the customers wishes.
The spring air mattress can currently be purchased as a great substitute for the regular mattress from most furniture and department stores. As usual the internet can be used to research the wide range of style and price of these new superior quality mattresses.

Are Not All Cradle Mattress The Same?
A cradle mattress is where your precious little baby will sleep but most do not know anything about the rules of buying a cradle mattress. Now remember that there is a difference between a cradle and a crib. The cradle is a place that baby will not be sleeping in for very long as they will advance to a crib usually as soon as they are big enough and can make the transition into their own room. Cradle mattresses are usually rather thin in comparison to a standard mattress, they are completely waterproof, flame retardant, and lock stitched.
The cradle mattresses really should not even be constituted as a mattress per se but rather a waterproof mat. There are little sheets that fit on the mattresses for the cradle, which by the way usually have to be changed quite frequently by the way. These offer very little support and are also known as bassinet mattresses. These are about 2 inches thick and come in one of two sizes, 18x36 or 15x33. There are covers that you can purchase that engulf the entire mattress and the nice thing about them is that they add some extra cushion for baby which adds some comfort too.
The reason that people cover the cradle mattress is to provide softness and absorbency. Also, babies can be very messy little people with urine leaks, loose stools, spit up, vomit and more, these pads need to be changed up to several times a day. They are very inexpensive so you should buy up several because you will certainly need them. A perfect cradle mattress should offer the following, health, comfort and safety standards.
There are an organic line of cradles mattresses and accessories available. They cost a few bucks more but some parents really like the fact that they offer a few things that the standard mattresses do not. They are antimicrobial having been treated inside and out to prevent bacteria growth for the lifetime of your mattress. They are also designed to keep out mites and germs naturally, which is an important feature.
The organic cradle mattresses are crack resistant, they clean up very well and they also warm up under your baby, which is just the way that they were designed. A nice organic cradle mattress will usually be made of natural latex and surrounded with pure grow wool. These mattresses are very soft but are very acceptable for a baby.

Special Features of Full Size Mattresses
Mattress size would be the key feature or factor to consider when purchasing a mattress, particularly if you are shopping for a mattress as a couple. Mattresses come in different sizes: king size mattress, queen size mattress, full size mattress, single size mattress and twin size mattress. A full size mattress has dimensions that are close to the dimensions of other mattresses; you may find it difficult to tell the difference between a full size mattress and its other counterparts.
Similar to other mattress types, a full size mattress is composed of several layers of fibers, foam or any other forms used as mattress stuffing. Full size mattresses are typically available worldwide, most especially in the United States and other advanced countries. When it comes to thickness, full size mattresses and other large size mattresses are usually between 6 to 18 inches thick.
Different Sizes of Full Size Mattresses
Typically, a full size mattress is just the same as a double size mattress. A full size mattress has a width of 54 inches and length of 75 inches. These measurements apply in North American and Europe. However, in other countries such as those in Asia, full size mattresses have a width of 48 inches and length of 78 inches -- a slight reduction in width and a slight addition in length.
Another kind of full size mattress is the full extra large mattress, which is only found in North America. A full extra large mattress has a width of 54 inches and length of 80 inces, longer than the length of the Asian full size mattresses.
People often get confused between a full size mattress and a queen size mattress due to how close their dimensions are. A queen size mattress typically has a width of 60 inches and length of 80 inches, almost similar to the width and length of a full size mattress. Generally, the size of a full size mattress can vary in the United Kingdom and the other European countries, but the width of both queen size and full size mattress is the same.
Tips When Buying a Full Size Mattress
One major consideration in purchasing a full size mattress is the general finish, the padding and materials used, which must be of good quality. Like queen size mattresses, full size mattresses come in three different comfort levels. In the United States, full size mattresses have a two-year warranty so make sure that the full size mattress you buy is covered with a warranty that is no less than two years.

Prolonging The Life Of Your Mattress - Mattress Care Tips
The life of a mattress generally ranges between 8 to 10 years. This is however an approximation. The life of a mattress depends on its quality, how many people use it and how often it is used. A well cared for mattress can last a decade, on the other hand a mattress in a college dormitory may need to be replaced every few years.
Considering that a mattress can cost anywhere from $700 to about $4000 it is wise to take good care of it to ensure longevity.
Rotating the mattress increases its durability and comfort. A mattress can take the shape of a body when you sit or lie on it. Rotating it gives it a complete “new mattress feel”. But make sure you do not do this very often. This should be done once in every 4-6 months.
Use mattress pads and wash them regularly; they keep the mattress dry and clean. If infants or small children are using the mattress do use mattress padding. They help in prolonging the life of a mattress to a great extent.
Never forget to remove the plastic covering on the mattress once you receive it. It not only makes the sleep uncomfortable but also restricts the mattress from breathing.
Avoid dry cleaning the mattress. The chemicals may harm the fabric or underlying materials. Vacuuming is the only recommended cleaning method. If you do need to remove a stain make use of a soap solution and clean it with a cloth. And yes, never ever dip your mattress completely into a water solution.

How to Remove Urine From Mattress?
Removing urine from carpets and mattresses is not very difficult. Urine contains salts and when they are on the mattress they smell. The smell of the urine won’t go away quickly. It will stay in the air for some days or weeks. Even if you put the mattress in sunlight for drying, the smell won’t go away.
Urine contains bacteria and if urine is left on the mattress for many hours or days molds or fungus could form and spoil the mattress completely. You need to take care of your mattress and try to remove the urine stains as quickly as possible.
During the rainy season the urine in the mattress along with the humidity in the air makes the smell worse. Spraying deodorants won’t make the smell go away from the mattress. You need to clean the urine from inside the mattress so that they don’t smell, and not only from the upper part of the mattress. There are many ways for people to remove the urine from the mattress. Some people pour vinegar on the mattress and suction it with a vacuum machine. Putting alcohol on the urinated area is another idea. Some people put shampoo on the mattress and clean it and dry the mattresses in the sun.

Purchasing An Organic Bassinet Mattress Makes Sense
Choosing an organic bassinet mattress is one easy way to ensure a healthy start for your child. It will also make a statement that you prefer products that are not made with chemicals or fabrics that are grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Most organic bassinets are made of grass or reeds, making them lovely, natural and durable. Babies are very sensitive to chemicals, much more than adults, so why not provide your baby with a place to sleep that is totally organic.
Some people question the usefulness of buying an organic mattress for a baby because it typically is a little bit more expensive than non-organic, but it is very important and a good choice for those who can afford it. You can also buy an organic bassinet mattress and use it in places other than the bassinet. Some mattresses are really the size of a standard crib mattress. This means you can use them on the floor when the baby is small and in the crib when he or she gets a little bigger. Best of all, this organic mattress provides you with all these features with the look of a fabric cover. Adding one of these mattresses to your babies bassinet will make it an even more comfortable and chemical-free place.
The main reason why organic makes so much sense is that they are not breathing in chemicals. Research has shown that babies could develop SIDS because they are breathing in the chemicals from their non-organic mattress. Some 2,500 cases of SIDS were reported because of certain mattresses. It is believed that the foam core, chemicals, and vinyl covering combined are the main sources the cases of SIDS.
These chemicals go through the vinyl cover and can be absorbed into your babies body and breathed into their respiratory system. The organic mattress covering is so important because it is a natural flame retardant and stands up to all the regulations of the Consumer Product Safety Commission without the use of any chemicals. Any concerned parent would want to make sure their baby does not have any health complications, especially if it can be avoided.

It is also renewable resource, since it is harvested from the hair of goats (which are not mistreated in any way). It is even a recyclable resource and can be reused in other aspects after its first life is spent.
All of these factors mean that the use of an organic wool mattress pad is not only good for your body and your family, but it is also good for your world. The health benefits reach well beyond the bedroom walls.
Introducing the Organic Mattress
Have you heard of or joined in with the new wave of organic products? Well, with all the craze of organic products getting more and more popular, an organic mattress was all but inevitable. If you have never heard of an organic mattress, it is a product made purely of organic materials and contains no synthetic materials.
A synthetic mattress is often made largely of polyurethane foam. This has been shown to cause severe allergies in many instances. If you are an allergy sufferer, an organic mattress may just be able to provide you with the relief you are looking for. Allergy relief is simply one way that organic mattresses are superior to synthetic mattresses. There are many reasons an organic mattress is favored over a standard synthetic mattress.
An organic mattress is made from 100% natural materials. The natural materials that usually make up an organic mattress include wool (from France and New Zealand), natural latex and occasionally cotton. Natural wool has proven to be a dust mite repellant that will help allergy sufferers who are allergic to dust. A true organic mattress is free of chemicals and environmentally friendly, as well as safe for both adults and children to sleep on.
In addition to organic mattresses being safe for the entire family and for the environment, they have the ability to breathe. Latex is often uncomfortable in hot and humid weather because the material cannot breathe and causes the sleeper to sweat. Organic mattresses will help you remain comfortable regardless of the weather because the material can breathe and not cause you to become too hot or too sticky.
There are many mattresses that proudly display the organic label, but beware, as not all of them may truly be organic. A truly organic mattress contains only natural materials and no chemicals. Some organic mattresses can be found that contain formaldehyde in order to make them fire retardant. Also, plastic coated organic mattresses are available to render the mattress waterproof or coated with polyester to make surface washing easier. These are not true organic mattresses. When you go shopping for an organic mattress, don’t settle for synthetic materials or added chemicals. Be sure you find a truly organic mattress made of only 100% natural materials.

What is an Organic Mattress?
An organic mattress is simply a mattress that is made from organic materials. They are popular due to the fact that no pesticides, dioxins, formaldehyde, fire retardant foams, or any other petrochemicals are used in their production.
Organic Mattress Materials
While many different mattress manufacturers use a variety of materials, there are some materials that are more frequently used by manufacturers of organic mattresses. The wool that is utilized to make an organic mattress is sheared from lambs both in New Zealand and France. Once removed, the wool is cleaned using a chemical free, non-toxic soap solution. Natural latex rubber is also used in conjunction with organic wool and cotton to make some mattresses, and this type of mattress is comparable to a regular mattress that utilizes memory foam or polyurethane foam. However, both the memory foam and polyurethane foam can be toxic and result in health complications, while natural latex rubber is completely safe, environmentally friendly, and provides a wonderful nights rest.
Who Buys Organic Mattresses?
While the organic mattress has quite a following, those with back and other orthopedic ailments, allergy sufferers, and those individuals who wish to use only eco-friendly items normally purchase it. It is also well known that lanolin, which is a component of sheep's wool, is a natural dust mite repellent, making an organic mattress attractive to persons simply interested in a healthier sleeping surface.
Other Organic Items to Complement Your Mattress
There are a myriad of organic items that can be purchased and utilized along with an organic mattress. Some of these items include organic and pure wool comforters, organic cotton sheets, organic cotton blankets, organic latex mattress pads, organic wool pillows and pillow cases, as well as organically grown and made wool mattress toppers.
Chemicals to Avoid
When looking for an organic mattress, be sure to fully investigate what the mattress is made of before making a purchase. Just because a particular mattress is advertised as organic doesn't mean that it actually is organic. Avoid purchasing any mattress that contains a chemical fire retardant, formaldehyde, synthetic or chemical foams, or any mattress that has been treated with a chemical odor reducer. Glues, plastics, and polyester materials should also be avoided.
An organic mattress will make not only a wise investment, but will also be a healthy choice when it comes to sleeping in a safe environment free of toxic chemicals and pollutants.
