There are many rumors and much concern regarding fire retardant chemicals being used in manufacturing mattresses in America.  Historically, mattresses were made with natural fibers such as cotton and wool.  These fibers are not fire proof, though they are naturally somewhat slow to burn.  Since the 1960’s, mattresses have been increasingly manufactured with synthetic materials– many of which burn faster than natural fibers.

Developed in the 1960’s for use by astronauts, memory foam is a synthetic material made of polyurethane.  Many people who have refinished wood furniture are aware that polyurethane is highly flammable in most forms.  But memory foam is not the only highly flammable material used in mattress manufacturing.  Other foams and synthetic stuffing have also been shown to have particularly fast burn rates.  This means that the flammability problem with mattress materials is two-fold:  the rate of ignition is high, meaning they catch fire easily; and they burn very quickly.

This is cause for concern because many mattress fires involve sleeping persons.  Over the years, many people, including many children, have suffered injuries and deaths due to the high ignition and burn rates of mattresses.  This is why the state of California passed a law in 2005 regulating that all mattresses sold in California must pass a 30 minute ignition test.  Many mattress manufacturers began treating their goods with fire retardant chemicals to meet the California standards.  That is why it was easy for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to pass regulation in 2007 that expanded the fire retardation standards to all mattresses sold in the United States. Since then, there has been much debate over the safety of sleeping on mattresses that are treated with fire retardant chemicals.  According to the Sleep Products Safety Council and the CPSC, the chemicals that are used to treat mattresses to hamper flammability are safe for extended exposure, both for the consumers and the workers who manufacturer mattresses.  However, many groups claim that regulation of these chemicals is lacking and so is transparency in manufacturing methods. This means that it is difficult for consumers to know for certain what chemicals may be in or on mattresses. Read more »

If you are contemplating on shifting from using the traditional coil spring bed to a memory foam mattress, then you are in for a big surprise. Yes, there are just so many benefits that people are not aware of as far as the memory foam mattress is concerned.

Here are some of the things you should consider when buying a memory foam mattress for your home. And since there are a multitude of choices available in the market, it would be wiser for you to first consider the following factors before getting one.
Choosing Between Dense or Thin
It will always depend on which type of mattress you normally feel comfortable with. But no need to worry, because the memory foam mattress has both choices of denseness and thinness for you. The denser foam mattresses are much more expensive and can cost up to about 5 pounds for every cubic foot. However, should you have softer and finer bone structures; you definitely will feel more comfortable lying down and sleeping in the thin memory foam mattress. You may choose from the range of 2.5 to 3.5 pounds for every cubic foot.

Layers
While for some people, the thicker their mattresses are, they feel they get more comfort with them. This is why if you are the type of person who prefers lying down and sleeping on several layers of foam, you will be surely delighted to discover that majority of the memory foam mattress are offered in multiples of layers with each layer having at least 5 inches as base; while the top range may be made thicker by one to two inches.

Restonic is in the Top 10 of mattress brands in the U.S. It produces a variety of different types of beds from the usual inner spring toward memory foam mattresses to even magnetic bed. Here are some comparisons of the special Restonic mattresses.

The ComfortCare range of mattresses is a established inner spring mattress. The brand uses - like every other brand - a plethora of jingoistic expressions to support its products. The first such expression is the ‘Marvelous Middle’. Essentially, the central point has more springs that are strategically placed to provide the sleeper a better night’s sleep. This is old hat. Manufacturers have been building beds with improved foundation in the middle since they first began making mattresses. Yet again, we’re also told about SpiraLok Technology and how it reduces activity transfer. Yet again, it’s a section of wire that is wound about the peak of each coil. Many companies employ something similar. Moreover, with any inner spring beds you’re at all times going to feel some motion transfer it’s not important who made it. Finally, each Restonic bed in the ComfortCare series comes with SuperEdge Plus Technology. This is just a part of high thickness foam wrapped all-around the rim of the bed; its job is to cover the springs. I don’t know of any manufacturer of high quality mattresses that does not do this.

Now, how does the ComfortCare bed rate? In any case, its comparisons are commonly positive but numerous seem to favor a Sealy Posturepedic, nevertheless the Restonic is a lot cheaper.

Restonic also makes air mattresses. They’re affordable and often used in trailers and camper vans. If you really are interested in a good quality air bed then you’d be better advised to focus on a Simmons Luxaire. Read more »

One of the things that we tend not to clean is our bed mattress. Usually, we just buy new ones and throw or give away the old ones. But if they are not clean, we also pass whatever lives inside the mattress to the new owners. What if the new owners are sick? Or if they have children? Or someone inside their house are already sick? That mattress that we just gave away might worsen their illness.

If you keep buying new ones instead of cleaning the mattresses, it would cost you tons of money. And if it is dirty, there are a lot of diseases that we can get from it. How? Because of the organisms that lives on dirty mattresses. What are those organisms? Bed bugs, dust mites, and molds.

BED BUGS
This insects feed on any warm-blooded hosts which includes us and our pets. As of now, there are no related disease that you can get from their bites. However, due to its itchy bites, we can get stress, anxiety, and insomnia. Especially, if we get bitten a lot of times. We can also get skin infection and scars from scratching the bed bug bites.

They are fond of living in places like the sofa, furniture, and mattress. They love to be near the hosts that they feed on. Bed bugs do not like a lot of light so they only feed at night when the hosts are already in their deep sleep.

DUST MITES
They are microscopic bugs that live and feed on dead skin cells that are shed by us and our pets. They may seem harmless to most of us but a single dust mite produces 20 wastes (feces) each day which contains a protein that make people get an allergic reaction and induce asthma to people who are asthmatic.

Here’s a evaluation of the mattresses currently on offer.

When you pay money for an Englander bed you will be purchasing one of the greatest out there today. The corporation has been making beds for a long time and has used its know-how to create some of the most excellent sleep solution money can buy.

Still, many other manufacturers also produce beautifully crafted beds but what distinguishes Englander is that it makes a broad variety of high-end models. You can purchase everything from a traditional innerspring, through to latex, memory foam and even a mixture of innerspring and memory foam: perhaps only the better brands like Sealy and Serta can offer such a varied choice, but I doubt if many put together products as well made.

In case you are looking for a traditional innerspring - and most mattresses sold are of this sort - then you ought to contemplate an Englander mattress. The current assembly is called Tension Ease. You can choose from 3 levels of comfort. The Tension Ease Duo-Flex coils feature a apparent barrel shape design that allows for full coil density without shape loss.
