Mattress Covers for Allergy Protection

Today we know that allergies have a cumulative effect on our bodies; that is, the older you get, the worse allergies get, depending on what you were exposed to while growing up. Nasty microscopic bed bugs, dust mites, and bacteria live in most mattresses and pillows, separated from your face and body only by the barrier that you place between them and you. They feed on dead skin cells and become, for humans, a major cause of asthma, eczema, and rhinitis.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Unfortunately, standard pillowcases and sheets (in other words, standard bedding), don't serve as adequate barriers from the nasty little bugs. Fortunately, the right mattress cover can protect you.

Baby Sealy Mattress

We make a substantial investment in a good mattress. For those of us with back and other injuries that we must accommodate by providing additional sleep support, we also spend a hefty sum on therapeutic pillows for our head and neck and on body pillows.

So what happens when we bring home a new mattress and plunk down our old pillow on it? And what happens when we buy an expensive neck or body pillow and put it on our existing mattress?

Well, you can guess that the nasty bugs travel right through our bedding to build a comfy home in the brand new product.

What we really need is a mattress cover that is a breathable yet waterproof barrier fabric that prevents bacteria and dust mites from breeding in our mattresses and pillows. We would all like something that feels soft to the touch yet does not let anything get through to our skin and into the new products that we buy.

And while we're at it, why not provide a healthy, allergy-free sleep zone for baby to reduce the allergens to which baby is exposed from the start!

There are mattress covers available today that provide the barrier we seek. There are two types.

The less-expensive mattress protectors, such as the Slumber Soft Mattress Pad, are top-layer, waterproof barriers to protect our mattresses from moisture from bed wetting, sweating, etc. They have a super-soft feel like natural cotton, but are typically made from durable polyester Flannelatte Laminated Vinyl to prevent any leakage onto the mattress. That just means that they simulate flannel with an underlying layer of impermeable high-tech vinyl. They make excellent mattress protectors for the crib and for the elderly. Family caregivers appreciate the fact that they are lightweight and easy maintenance (machine washable). With straps to hook around the corners of the mattress, they are easy to remove and clean, and easy to replace on the mattress. Some of the waterproof-only mattress protectors are reversible so you can use them longer. With a super-soft, cottony feel, they give both baby and the elderly a comfortable night's sleep while protecting the mattress from moisture and odor. The second type of mattress cover is the allergy mattress cover that is slightly more expensive but which provides complete protection both against moisture and dust mites or bacteria. The dust mites or bacteria that may have lived in your mattress will not reach your skin or lungs once your mattress is covered with an impenetrable allergy mattress cover. It wraps your mattress like a fitted sheet. While your skin feels soft cotton on top, the waterproof, impenetrable-barrier layer further down, made from the latest high tech fabric, separates you from the bugs!

There are also mattress covers in baby's size to protect the crib mattress both from dust mites and from bedwetting moisture, stains, and odor! The allergy mattress cover offers complete protection as a waterproof barrier and as a shield against dust mites and bacteria found in every home. Allergy mattress covers are available in pillow slip-on sizes to protect your face and neck while you sleep.

Just be careful to examine the label on the mattress cover or pillow cover to ensure that you are getting the proper protection. If it is a waterproof mattress cover (for bedwetting) that you are protecting against, either level will do. If it is an allergy mattress cover that interests you, the label should discuss the mattress protection against allergy-causing dust mites and bacteria.

This seemingly minor addition to your bed will enhance your sleeping comfort by creating a healthy sleep zone for you and your family.

Top 5 Reasons Why Latex Mattresses Might Be Better Than Memory Foam Mattresses

There is no denying the sudden rise to popularity of memory foam mattresses. These beds are considered the most ideal when it comes to back pain. Experts have divulged that back pain sufferers need a mattress that will provide better support to the back. A firm foam bed is an ideal choice.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Memory foam technology is perpetrated by NASA. They are the ones who came up with the idea of a temperature-sensitive foam. This memorizes the contours of the body in order to correct spine posture and lessen pressure sores and muscle pains. However, latex mattresses are slowly overthrowing memory foams when it comes to being the most sought-after bed today.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Here are some of the 5 reasons why latex mattresses might be a more superior sleep option than memory beds:

1. Provides semi-firm comfort
People who suffer from lower back pains might find foam mattresses even more comfortable. The lower back actually needs semi-firm comfort, not very firm comfort. The mattress should be able to cushion the lower part of the body. Most latex foams have pin core holes. The size of those holes depends on the manufacturing techniques of the company. The bigger the holes, the softer and more reactive the mattress becomes. Look for those with bigger pin core holes situated on the areas of the mattress where the hips will usually lie on.

2. Breathable
The problem with memory foam beds is that accumulated heat cannot be dispersed properly. Heat from your body might be trapped inside the mattress. It can get too warm during summer season. In comparison, latex is a more breathable choice. Its pin core holes allow better air circulation inside the bed.

3. Resistant to common household allergens and micro organisms
It is not an ideal breeding ground for common micro organisms. It repels molds, mildew, allergens, dust mites and bacteria. People with sensitivity to allergens might find this type of mattress more ideal.

4. Does not emit strong chemical scent
After opening the package of your memory bed, you might be put off with its strong, pungent chemical smell. It will take days before the smell wears off. But this is a not a problem for latex beds.

5. Biodegradable
Because there are no harmful chemicals in latex mattresses, they are more eco-friendly. Memory foam mattresses contain chemicals that cannot be recycled easily. Latex beds can decompose on its own when discarded.

Finding Meaning in Life - Why Don't People Live the Life They Want To?

My son, age 29, is living with me.

Baby Sealy Mattress

This arrangement has its attendant difficulties which are exacerbated by the fact that he works nights at a dead-end job that drives him up the wall. That means, among other things, that I have to try to be quiet during the day so that he can sleep. He pays his share of the expenses, does as little around the house as he can get away with, and feels that he is helping me out. Still, it is a mutually beneficial situation - for the time being.

Baby Sealy Mattress

I had an interesting conversation with my son yesterday. He had been trying to get to sleep without success because his mind was too active and when he asked me the question in the title of this article, I could see why he couldn't sleep.

Why don't people live the life they want? That is a question that is as appropriate for baby boomers, twenty-somethings, or kids just getting started in life. When my son asked the question, I went into teacher (or preacher) mode:

People don't live the life they want because, very often, they don't know what they want or what is realistic.

I pointed out to my son that I grew up in the "Father Knows Best", "Leave It to Beaver", and "The Donna Reed Show" era. He, of course, had never seen these shows and had to ask what I meant.

These half hour shows gave me, and hundreds of thousands others like me, a very idealized - one might almost say 'Pollyannish' - view of family life and life in general.

The people in these shows never encountered difficulties that couldn't be solved in half an hour. They seemed to know their place in the family and in society - or if they didn't know it, they only had to ask Father because, after all, "Father Knows Best."

How realistic is that? Are all your problems solvable within a half-hour? And as for Father - I don't know about you, but my father was a mechanic with dirty fingernails who cussed when he skinned a knuckle and liked to 'mess around' with his little girl.

It took me a long time to figure out that my father didn't know best and that what he was doing - or had done, because that's how long it took - was wrong.

Quite frankly, my life didn't look like Donna Reed's and I spent much of my youth thinking that something must be wrong with me. Maybe you've had similar feelings.

So, I told my son yesterday, we often have a distorted or idealized view of what life is supposed to be like and all we know is that we don't have that kind of life. Sometimes that can inspire us to seek out that kind of life (by chasing a chimera), sometimes it can make us feel guilty, as though it is our fault that we are not living that kind of life, and sometimes it can blind us to the fact that we may have a perfectly good life even if we've got problems that seem unsolvable, even if "Father" didn't know best, or even if our family didn't "Make Room for Daddy" because Daddy was never there.

Why don't people live the life they want? You might ask yourself that question. But maybe you'll find it more helpful for ask yourself the question that my son didn't ask himself or me: Why don't I live the life I want?

What To Look For When Choosing A Futon Bed Mattress

Everyday, we spend such a significant portion of our lives sleeping. If we're not getting the sleep we require and aren't comfortable at night, we will feel exhausted throughout the day and perhaps suffer from aches and pains as well. Remember, healthy and comfortable sleep is fundamental for our body and health mental state.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Why Should You Get A Good Mattress?

Baby Sealy Mattress

A bed mattress is probably the most important part of the bed, however it is also the part that is most overlooked. Some studies point out that four out of five people grumble about some form of back pain and often this back pain is connected to an improper mattress. Buying a new mattress set is not something very hard, but buying the best in the market is sometimes very hard. When you are shopping for a new bed, you will probably put a lot of time into the selection of the bed frame itself.

A bad mattress can give you some spinal problems, backaches and a number of other aches and pains. Take advantage of great night's sleep and wake up fresh and in a good mood each day. Not only is sleeping an important part of our health in renewing our body, but sleeping on the right mattress size is also an important component to receiving that good night's rest.

When it comes to mattress, the most important point to consider is your health. A comfortable mattress can help you fall and stay asleep for the entire night, thus waking up the next morning refreshed and ready to face anything the day ahead has to offer. The description of a good mattress is one that is comfortable and yet firm enough so that the body is properly supported during the sleeping process.

Introducing Futon Bed Mattress

A futon mattress is a unique style of mattress. A futon bed can be used during the day as a sofa and makes a great bed for sleeping on. It is a popular choice for many consumers as a result of their flexibility of function.

The down side is Futon mattresses need a lot of care than conventional ones. It can be hard to find a futon mattress then other variations of mattresses simply because these variations of beds are not as often found. Nevertheless, buying a futon bed is a great choice.

The futon mattress of a futon bed is usually not as thick as a regular bed mattress, and can be filled with foam, cotton, innersprings, polyester and/or viscoelastic foam.

There are some factors that have to be considered when buying futon mattresses. Futon bed mattresses made from 100% cotton are at the heavier end of the scale, as is its firmness and flexibility. The weight of the mattress will determine the effort to reconfigure the futon sofa into a bed. A futon mattress made from a mixture of cotton and foam is much lighter and less firm than that of one made from 100% cotton.

Futon mattresses can be purchased on the web or through your local retailer. Sometimes, when shopping for a futon mattress, you may find that you can purchase a mattress and bed frame for a lower cost as a bundle then you would if you were to purchase them separately.

Tips On Choosing Your Futon Mattress

Before buying a top rated futon bed mattress make sure that the qualities of the mattress are what you require. Remember not all mattresses are made the same nor do they have the same level of comfort for each potential sleeper. From the comfort level that the mattress can provide to the foundation to the warranty, everything needs to be considered before you buy one.

Of course, the more you pay, the higher quality mattress you can expect to get. When choosing your mattress, the cheapest price is not necessarily the best value. It is important to pay the appropriate amount of money for the quality of mattress that you wish to obtain your good night's rest on.

Take into consideration the dimension of the mattress. A great way to know if the mattress dimensions are right for you is to get a mattress on trial, and if it is not suitable you can refund and/or exchange. Lastly, a futon mattress should be something that you invest in with the knowledge of the quality that it can offer to you.

Why Platform Beds Need Special Mattresses

I am "The Old Bed Guy" who has seen and done it all in the bed business. Sixty years ago, a then virtually unknown mattress company called "Sealy" came up with a slogan that endured for forty years and was responsible for millions of lost sleep hours. "No Morning Backache From Sleeping On a Too Soft Mattress" worked miracles for them and, along with some excellent decisions, and good business sense, vaulted them to the top of the business. Along the way they absorbed the "Stearns and Foster" company. The major competition was "Simmons," makers of the very soft, durable, and comfortable "Beautyrest." In those days almost every mattress had some kind of resilient spring underneath.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Somewhere in the eighties or nineties, "Simmons" discovered how to make a hard "Beautyrest" called the "Gibralter" for people with not much imagination. So, "Sealy" started to soften their "Posturepedic" and made many new friends. Why? Because hard beds are neither very comfortable or good for your health.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Since the stone age, people have been looking for something soft to sleep on. For the history of the bed you can go to Old Bed Guy website, but for what to do now if you need a platform mattress, stay tuned right here.

Platform mattresses have to be as flexible as possible. The most flexible mattress is made of foam. a material that is almost always comfortable, and almost always a disappointment. The temptation to make it cheaper instead of better is virtually universal. The most flexible and predictable is made of individually pocketed coils covered with various padding materials usually including some foam.

The need for the flexibility is because of the absence of flex in the platform. Hard on hard means nights of tossing and turning. Flexible on hard can provide wonderful support and comfort.

You also sleep better when you pay less. I have visited many sleep shops and department and furniture shops in the New York city and suburban area and spent quality time trying out all of the major brands. I am also fortunate that the oldest bed maker in the United States is in Manhattan affording me the opportunity to test a really superior product. The Charles P. Rogers company has been hand making beds since 1855. You can find them on the net, but their only stores are in New York and New Jersey.

My choice of came down to two. One, a plush "Simmons Beautyrest" with 800 pocketed coils in the queen size is available at Sears. It is a "Coney Pillowtop" Model# 21030 and sells for 19.99 with a ten year warranty, in queen size. The other is the "St Charles (tm) from Charles P Rogers. It has 1,000 pocketed coils, a completely monolithic construction that will not shift, and a twenty year warranty. As of today's writing they are reducing the 9 sale price by 0 if you purchase with any platform bed.

You may be tempted to buy a foam mattress. Please don't, unless you can verify that it is 100% natural renewable tree latex. Synthetic foams can be used as padding in high quality innerspring mattresses, but will not stand up to the stresses when just placed on a platform. Even the best latex available at this time cannot provide the comfort or durability of a 1,000 coil purpose built innerspring as described above.

The Pros And Cons Of International Adoption

If you are considering adopting a child one of the things you will need to look into is whether to go for domestic adoption or international adoption. In this article we will discuss the pros and cons of international adoption to give you more information in order to make a better informed decision.

Baby Sealy Mattress

International adoption is generally done by an individual working through an agency (or perhaps a few adoption agencies) and it is often necessary to spend extended periods in the country from which you are adopting a child, usually between one and three weeks.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Apart from the possible cons associated with the extended travel it is also often more costly to adopt a child from another country. These may include travel costs, legal costs and a number of other costs which your adoption agency should be able to inform you of.

International adoption may also come with language and communication problems. If the child you are adopting has a different language to you then you may find it difficult to communicate at first and they may find it difficult adapting to a new language. Children adopted through international adoption are very seldom infants due to the longer adoption process and so they will usually have obtained some language skills in another language.

On the positive side though, there is usually a greater availability of children through international adoption. Many countries are in desperate need of people to adopt children who have been orphaned, abandoned or whose parents are simply too poor to care for them. For example many children in Africa are left orphans due to the extent of the AIDS epidemic in Africa, and many girl babies are abandoned due to cultural and political reasons in China.

In addition, the regulations and requirements for international adoption are often not as stringent as for domestic adoption. Domestic regulations may include requirements regarding the adoptive parents' ages, household situation, and the requirement to take a certain number of classes. These requirements are generally not as strict for international adoption.

In international adoption the birth mother also does not change her mind. The problem with domestic adoption in many cases is the option for the birth mother to change her mind after prospective adoptive parents have been told they will get a child. In international adoptions this is not the case.

In conclusion, there are pros and cons to both international adoption and domestic adoption, hopefully this article has given you a better understanding to know which option will be best suited to you and your lifestyles. International adoption may be a more expensive, lengthy process and perhaps have some language difficulties; but there are also a lot more children available, especially of different races or cultures, and the requirements are generally not as stringent and the birth mother won't change her mind about placing her child with you.

Time to Purchase a New Mattress

How do you know when it's time to buy a new mattress? There are a lot of telltale signs. Some are obvious, some not so obvious. A heavily soiled mattress, or one that has developed a smell or a funk over time is probably ready for the garbage. You make the call. A mattress that no longer supports your back or your body's frame, causing discomfort or health problems, should be replaced. Getting a full eight hours sleep is one of the most basic things that anybody can do to stay healthy, fit, and well rounded, both mentally and physically. If you've got an older mattress that has begun to lose its shape or causes your bedsprings to creak noticeably when you turn over in bed, this is another sign that you may need to invest in a new mattress. When it comes time to choose a new one, here are some things that you should consider. There are more different types of mattresses on the market today than ever before. There are foam mattresses which perfectly contour to the shape and mass of your body, therapeutic mattresses prescribed for people with certain bone conditions, and the old standby, the air mattress. You can also still get the traditional mattresses made of cotton felt, foam, and fibre, which provides an even amount of firmness and softness for a majority of people.

Baby Sealy Mattress

If you're generally healthy and have no significant problems with your neck, back, or spine, you should be okay with the traditional style mattress. For others who have problems with insomnia due to old age, spinal injuries, arthritis, bad back, or other kinds of conditions, it may be well worth it to buy a specialized mattress, one that will cater to your specific needs. You will be amazed at how much difference this can make to getting a good night's sleep. People whose jobs require them to be physically active a lot, such as fire-fighters and construction workers, could also benefit from one of these memory foam, or specially prescribed mattresses. Any style of mattress should be available in a size that will fit your box springs, whether single, double, queen or king size. A lot of people don't know what they need specifically when they decide to go shopping for a new mattress. Most people visit the store displays and lie down on different mattresses, trying to get a feel for what is most likely to work best for them. For couples, they may have different needs in a mattress. That is why there are mattresses on the market that can be adjusted on either side to each person's specifications via remote control or switch. Some are programmable, ensuring the same settings every night for both sides of the bed. When sleep discomfort becomes a big problem, you know it's time for a new mattress.

What Are the Best Mattresses For Back Support?

They came and they dominated the market in a flash. I am talking about back support mattresses. More and more people have expressed the need for a mattress that can alleviate back pain. The mattress industry answered by providing back support mattresses.

Baby Sealy Mattress

You can find them now in various technologies. Even innerspring mattresses, which used to be a technology that triggers back pains, came up with something to alleviate this problem. To help you out in making the right choices, we looked for good candidates for best mattresses that can eliminate this problem.

Sealy Posturepedic Mattress

They have various technologies incorporated in their Posturepedic line but one thing is common among them and that is to eliminate pressure points in your body. They claim that their mattress will make less than six hours of sleep feel like a complete 8 hours.

In their mattress line-up, they have integrated push-back support system. They have their own OAB or Orthopedic Advisory Board that came up with this technology. Their sales pitch tells us that this mattress brand indeed provides the support for the back. Many consumers are happy with their mattresses.

Spring Air Back Supporter

Spring Air specializes in this problem. They are pushing their back supporter bed to the mattress market. You have a variety to choose from but they basically rely on memory foam technology to give their mattress an edge.

What is great about their mattresses is that they are eco-friendly. They have also thought of giving not only the consumers many advantages but also Mother Nature. You can choose from various comfort levels so you can find the one that really works well for your body.

Tempur pedic Memory Foam Mattress

Tempur pedic is synonymous to memory foams. If you need a very firm bed, you can always go for this brand. They have the best tempur foam in town and your back can greatly benefit from the firmness of the mattresses they offer.

These mattresses have one thing in common and that is a firm mattress. When you need something to support your back, choose from semi-firm or firm mattress depending on what your body really needs. Cross out the soft mattresses from your choice as these do not really give the right amount of support you need.

Choose from the mattresses we have introduced above or go look for a semi-firm mattress that fits perfectly for you. This way, you can have the best sleep experience ever.

Creative Thinking in an Economic Downturn - Some Ideas For Families Who Are Trying to Lower Expenses

No long trips, fewer shopping sprees, less frequent family visits, no air travel, except in emergencies, reducing going out to eat, this is what can be expected in an economic downturn, particularly one as serious as we currently face.

Baby Sealy Mattress

What is one to do? How does one come up with creative possibilities for a break from the real world, for enjoying one's family, children, grandchildren, life? We who have become so accustomed to doing what we want to do when we want to do it may find it hard to tighten the belt, but almost everyone is now faced with such a likelihood.

Baby Sealy Mattress

Here are some clues: Pretend, assuming there really isn't one, a snow storm or rain storm is raging, plan an evening when everyone stays in and plays table games for the evening or weekend, pop popcorn, make fudge, create s'mores. Have a "scary story night," obviously I am trying to appeal to situations in which children may be or can be present. Plan and execute, with the help of others, a Neighborhood Scavenger hunt. Put together a "Watch the Stars Night."

When needing to shop, make a list and go to Thrift Stores, Goodwill, Salvation Army, helping them, while reducing your own costs. This is a good time to think about Christmas decorations, other holidays upcoming. Combine your shopping and errand trips...make a gas effective map. If time permits, make a picnic, stop by a park or public gathering place where there are tables or other attractions. Enjoy the afternoon.

If travel is a challenge for family members, choose a neutral location midway (if that is realistic) between the two homes, choose less costly housing options, take along some of the food for the trip, avoid restaurants. Go to places that are cost free or very inexpensive. If children are involved, this will be a lifetime learning moment. It may also give occasion to remember when you were less flush with discretionary funds.

If you have means for communicating over the Internet via video cam, so you may enjoy each other's visage, do so with some frequency. If you have a video, download family events, sports activities, birthday celebrations, and send along to those who will most appreciate them.

Spend time reading, perhaps to each other. Go through all the old photo albums and have a trip down memory lane, without leaving the comfort of your own home. Choose magazines and books that you no longer need, share them with people or organizations that can redistribute them. Discover ways to volunteer near your home, maybe within walking distance, thus getting exercise, another benefit.

Walk your pet or, if available, take him/her/them to a pet park at least once a week. Decide to do your own grooming. Begin to redefine necessity in all you do.

If you still have slides or have had them converted, along with old 8 mm films, etc spend an evening bringing them out to watch and laugh together.

Is there any end to the creative and imaginative ways we can choose to spend our time without having to spend so much money? Now is a good time to find out.
