Do you have a lot of back pain? Well your mattress could be the culprit of your pain. You need to go shopping! Below are a few tips that might help you while shopping for a new mattress.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you go mattress buying you need to find the mattress that best fits you and what you are comfortable on. Your comfort is what is most important. If you are comfortable you will relax and get a good night sleep but if you are not comfortable you will toss and turn all night long resulting in a hurting back in the morning.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">First you must decide if you want a firm mattress meaning a mattress that will not give. A plush mattress is softer than firm mattress and is a great middle of the road mattress. A plush mattress can be very comfy but not to where you sink into the mattress. A pillow top mattress is one that you sink deep into. When you go to the store lay down on each type of mattress that they have to get an idea what it feels like. Make your choice after trying the mattress out. Once you have the mattress at home you need to take good care of it.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are several ways to take care of your mattress so that you can have that mattress for years. First of all you need to put a protective pad on the mattress to keep it clean and free of stains. Putting a waterproof pad on your mattress can help protect it from children and pets. You should air out you mattress for a day or so once at least month to help odors from settling in. Never clean your mattress with anything but a vacuum cleaner unless you have to tackle a stain. Use mild soap and cold water on stains. Never walk, jump or fold your mattress, this will cause damage to the mattress as well as a possible injury to you.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Mattress buying can be fun yet very important to your body. Find the right mattress for you and take care of it so that you have it for many years to come. There is nothing more important after a hard day of life laying down in a comfortable bed and getting a good night sleep. Your body, mind and soul will thank you.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By Craig Thornburrow<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-44244064208261062402010-07-10T22:01:00.001+08:002010-07-10T22:01:18.020+08:00Memory Mattress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGYNZg0bvlvQ6vlWeD7_y3kmfuWmyl59ezpuNeQV5hfZF0333mZq4pNy4YJO99cYxQKQ456I1QFM6uOwR64nOddHn3_6tgdVGzh4sZzUimcStm4K8R421Ywe5m8lrgsHULftOQWqQzIg/s1600-h/fast-money.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinGYNZg0bvlvQ6vlWeD7_y3kmfuWmyl59ezpuNeQV5hfZF0333mZq4pNy4YJO99cYxQKQ456I1QFM6uOwR64nOddHn3_6tgdVGzh4sZzUimcStm4K8R421Ywe5m8lrgsHULftOQWqQzIg/s400/fast-money.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259469093439474306" /></a><br /><div align="justify">There are many people who suffer from various sleeping disorders. These disorders are primarily caused by anxiety and tension which is very common in today’s fast moving world. However these sleeping disorders are also caused by the use of poor quality bed mattress. The bed is the place where we choose to sleep upon. So a bed with a proper mattress will automatically relax our nerves and bring in a good sleep. The Memory Mattress made of foam provides total relief to the tired muscles and joints unlike the traditional spring coil mattress.<br />We are very stringent to changes and like to stick to the traditional items and commodities. Likewise in most of the houses people still use the old spring coil mattress.<br /><br />But the launch of the Memory Mattress in the market way back in the 1990s has gathered huge response because of its viscosity and temperature sensitivity. The Memory Mattress stands out in respect to the traditional coil mattress because they conform to our body and curves along body lines, whereas the spring coil mattress makes our body conform to it. The spring coils exerts pressure against our body and this results in back pain, arthritis and many other postural disorders.<br /><br />Moreover, the Memory Mattress does not put the same amount of resistance on joints as traditional bedding. Memory foam can leave us well rested and practically pain free in the morning. Nonetheless, the Memory Mattress is denser than traditional spring coil mattress. It is available in different densities. The 5lb density is more temperature sensitive, heavier, often stiffer and takes longer to bounce back. While 4lb density is softer, less temperature sensitive, less expensive but provides less support than the 5lb. Whether it is 4lb or 5lb memory foam density, it doesn't bounce so when two persons are sleeping on the same bed, if one person rolls over it won’t disturb the other person.<br /><br />Besides, the Memory mattress responds to the temperature of the body which means that it gets softer when it is warm and harder when it is cold. The body warmth softens the immediate area of foam and moulds to take the shape of the body which then offers support to all areas and generally makes the bed more comfortable. Thus a person having fever will feel more comfortable in a Memory Mattress than in a spring coil mattress which does not react to the temperature of the body. These foam mattresses were first advanced for medical causes. The foam used in the Memory Mattress was used in hospitals as a sleeping aid as it was found that patients slept better on woke up with lesser pain.<br /><br />However, with the passage of time the demand of this mattress has heightened and now it is made available in households, office furniture’s, car seats, infant cribs, computer carrying cases and many more.<br /><br />The various advantages of Memory Mattress have helped it to gain a consistent market. They have gained popularity among everyone. They guarantee total comfort and relaxation to the body. A sound sleep enables a person to regain energy and resume his work the next day.<br /><br />By Moutushi</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-2760730335971047422010-07-10T21:59:00.000+08:002010-07-10T22:00:13.528+08:00Tips for Magnetic Mattress Pad Shoppers<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZivwYQCM2filohMKmX5G7yovV_Om9NdKMp-kjq4VtUssxJsmjHo76oyJC11CB71iIxsudmYxMs_I5Q-oL23gWVpmpNslxSIPTpXu93PleHXUL4xYAIjHs-j3tpt2-AGtRYotU7V7xzqU/s1600-h/Magnetic_Power_Mattress.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZivwYQCM2filohMKmX5G7yovV_Om9NdKMp-kjq4VtUssxJsmjHo76oyJC11CB71iIxsudmYxMs_I5Q-oL23gWVpmpNslxSIPTpXu93PleHXUL4xYAIjHs-j3tpt2-AGtRYotU7V7xzqU/s200/Magnetic_Power_Mattress.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5137746768693134930" border="0" /></a>Buying a magnetic mattress pad can be challenging, but if you break the process down into simple steps, you ca get a good deal and keep your sanity. First, you need to know the main types of mattresses. Then you must decide the particular make and model you want. Last but not least, you can follow the sales and determine when to pounce based on the time when a good deal is offered. Yes, you can get a good deal on a magnetic mattress pad if you know what a good price is!<br /></div><br />Magnetic mattress pad shopping is not for wimps. Picking out the right magnetic mattress pad can be a real challenge, particularly when you confront all of the many types (not to mention brands and models) of magnetic mattresses pad on the market. It's no wonder all those mattress commercial pitchmen sound nuts Here is some basic information to help you before you sprawl out on your first show room mattress.<br /><br />Magnetic mattress pad are not cheap. Even a relatively low-end product is still going to cost you hundreds of dollars. Before you start comparing prices, figure out what you will need. Delivery of the new mattress, and removal and disposal of your old mattress are not necessarily included in the price. Always ask. (And if you can arrange to transport the mattress yourself and deal with your old mattress on your own, you may be able to get a better deal.)<br /><br />Next, narrow down the type of mattress you want. There are four main types of mattresses: the inner-, waterbeds, foam, and air.<br /><br />Airbeds are starting to gain in popularity and they definitely are a smart choice for a guest room or to be a store-away mattress you only need a few times a year. Don't think of the old. Some airbeds are regular height and can be made up to look just like a regular. They also inflate quickly and easily. But most people don't want to make an airbed a permanent bed, so this is not likely the choice you'll make if you're shopping for you main new magnetic mattress pad<br /><br />Foam mattresses, including the famous magnetic mattresses, are made of a dense foam material. They conform to the weight of the body, don't transfer motion, and are usually good choices for allergy sufferers since they do not harbor dust mites or other allergens. If you've never tried a foam mattress, you need to sprawl out on a couple in some show rooms to see what the fuss is about.<br /><br />Of course, there are some downsides to the foam mattress. Some people say they are hot, which is probably not a problem if you live anywhere outside the sun belt. They are also fairly heavy, which makes transporting them yourself a bit of a hassle. (They're not the to pick if you move constantly.) And they're expensive.<br /><br />Back in their original heyday, waterbeds were really just giant water balloons. If that's what you think a waterbed today is like, you need to take another look. Today look like regular beds but do require some special framing. They use an inner system of baffles and chambers to reduce transfer of motion (you know, that old tsunami-like effect when two people were in a waterbed and one got up). Waterbeds are worth a second look, especially if you haven't seen one in the past decade or so.<br /><br />Waterbeds are a bit of an evangelist thing; some people love them in a fanatical way, others don't care that much. They are good for people with allergies and can be a bit more adjustable than regular innerspring mattresses. The downside is that they are very heavy when they're set up. If you plan on setting up a mattress in an upstairs room or loft, check to be sure it's strong enough to support a waterbed.Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-61148473330368031882008-10-21T12:34:00.002+08:002008-10-21T12:35:48.085+08:005 Signs You Need a New Mattress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODXbPAVoWv6Jf4EVTDPr-OByxazVvPaTraIQI4hHmcCz6D3AdA1WcyFv8eA96L67f6BepFyIaVdf1_Z1i9TrtErvMKXParEiHANA3kWrMAS6CaGp5hFrgFyu_oaRk7nFx9V93kwZUaHY/s1600-h/show-me.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiODXbPAVoWv6Jf4EVTDPr-OByxazVvPaTraIQI4hHmcCz6D3AdA1WcyFv8eA96L67f6BepFyIaVdf1_Z1i9TrtErvMKXParEiHANA3kWrMAS6CaGp5hFrgFyu_oaRk7nFx9V93kwZUaHY/s400/show-me.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259461197442461634" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes it takes years of discomfort, poor sleep and sore muscles before we suddenly realize --- maybe we need a new mattress!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Here are 5 signs you may need a new mattress:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Mattress age<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You've had your present mattress for more than 10 years. Some high quality mattresses will, of course, last much longer than this, but if you suspect it's time for a new mattress, this is the first thing to consider.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Lumpy, bumpy or saggy<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Your mattress has noticeable lumps and bumps, or is uneven and saggy. Sleeping every night on a surface like this has the same effect on your body, particularly your back, as sleeping on rocky ground! Do your back a favour and get a new mattress.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Creaks and groans (the mattress, not you!)<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you lie down on the bed, your mattress squeaks, creaks or groans. This is a sure sign of old age in a mattress, and could soon have you creaking and groaning too!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Hole in the middle<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You and your sleeping partner always end up crammed together in the deep depression in the middle of the mattress. This may sound romantic, but it loses its appeal after a couple of nights!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">5. Sore, stiff muscles<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">You wake up sore and stiff all over. Worn out mattresses contribute to worn out bodies!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Any or all of these conditions suggest you need a new mattress. Before you run out and buy the first or cheapest one you find, though, do some research to find out which mattress will be the best for you<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sleep well!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By Mandy Duncan<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-75587704927667018822008-10-21T12:29:00.001+08:002008-10-21T12:32:04.436+08:00Cleaning Tips For Your Mattress' Long Life<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5cebA2SRy-NReI-OKA5RzAaKhZ0wNcoGKEFYiOJpVdX7wjsFMM_1cbwG99A9-RM7VcbMOZgW5K3WZYcN4G8NbtbVNHqAqAbNjRYnqcFDTXiEKpSwTdpM1StmXtOK7ySgjAN1gdn3POw/s1600-h/Sexy-smile.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjd5cebA2SRy-NReI-OKA5RzAaKhZ0wNcoGKEFYiOJpVdX7wjsFMM_1cbwG99A9-RM7VcbMOZgW5K3WZYcN4G8NbtbVNHqAqAbNjRYnqcFDTXiEKpSwTdpM1StmXtOK7ySgjAN1gdn3POw/s400/Sexy-smile.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259460155191857250" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cleaning your mattress is one way to ensure its long life. Have a good night sleep.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By Anthony Lee<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-12070501887906356542008-04-24T18:05:00.009+08:002008-10-21T13:17:07.357+08:00How to Remove Urine From Mattress?<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgToYidi-uGod16qHcXbFjvEL6h5fVnIJ_Kc8TuzCtnSpZbPFuLB5IYNS5uy9HP7-mmBqGhYok6Ve0NDeZv-nwZTQsCqv5ZihAAMhG3TSnRnmcFdwNaTYiYR1Ge1xKRpOPF-C0FfALeAc/s1600-h/bad-girl.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgToYidi-uGod16qHcXbFjvEL6h5fVnIJ_Kc8TuzCtnSpZbPFuLB5IYNS5uy9HP7-mmBqGhYok6Ve0NDeZv-nwZTQsCqv5ZihAAMhG3TSnRnmcFdwNaTYiYR1Ge1xKRpOPF-C0FfALeAc/s400/bad-girl.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259471870943285474" /></a><br /><div align="justify">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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />By Paul Cris </div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-91848696674180319282008-04-24T18:05:00.008+08:002008-10-21T13:16:04.426+08:00How to Use Memory Foam Mattress Pads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ifmeq0IAiqryuH2ZiiS8QEagXzi3HGZDR_R3GJ5pNOxssVHsoN-tTqPXfCaVvpNf_Qgp8b2hjd3d12eOHAxw_9AVFowDCO_Fp-9ElOciOGJoq6oMXBZSpsDjPfnFgoLreHsS2-3Kbyc/s1600-h/beauty-woman.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_ifmeq0IAiqryuH2ZiiS8QEagXzi3HGZDR_R3GJ5pNOxssVHsoN-tTqPXfCaVvpNf_Qgp8b2hjd3d12eOHAxw_9AVFowDCO_Fp-9ElOciOGJoq6oMXBZSpsDjPfnFgoLreHsS2-3Kbyc/s400/beauty-woman.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259471591519777042" /></a><br /><div align="justify">Memory foam, the gel-like polyurethane material that holds impressions on its surface, is mostly associated with mattress pads. The memory foam mattress pad was first put to use in hospitals in the 1980s, where the material proved itself invaluable in reducing pressure sores for bedridden patients. In the 1990s, the memory foam mattress pad was introduced to the general public, at pretty exorbitant prices. Realizing its potential for popularity, private companies worldwide began marketing their own versions. Now, more and more people are investing in good sleep thanks to memory foam, as prices continue to decline and accommodate the growing market.<br /><br />The terms “memory foam mattress topper”, “memory foam topper”, “memory foam mattress pad”, and “memory foam pad” are all interchangeable. A memory foam mattress pad provides much of the comfort and support of a memory foam mattress, at a fraction of the cost. You place the mattress pad on an existing bed, preferably one with plenty of firm support.<br /><br />The pad must be broken in over a period of days or weeks. Try sleeping directly on top of the foam, rather than on a sheet covering it, to speed the process of breaking it in.<br /><br />Memory foam, despite the breathability of its open-celled composition, can sometimes heat up, making it somewhat uncomfortable to sleep on. Many retailers and manufacturers recognize this, and recommend trying the mattress pad with and without a top sheet. You might find a great difference in temperature. You can also try lowering your room temperature.<br /><br />On the other hand, memory foam is temperature-sensitive, so the mattress might be too hard for you if your room temperature is below 65. If this is a problem, try warming your memory foam mattress with an electric blanket before going to bed.<br /><br />If you want to protect your memory foam mattress pad from spills and accidents, you can buy covers made from a blend of soft cotton and water-resistant polymers. You can often obtain a memory foam mattress cover from the same place you bought your mattress.<br /><br />By Eric Morris</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-53322605178491085172008-04-24T18:05:00.007+08:002008-10-21T13:15:13.943+08:00How to Choose the Best Mattress?

Everybody will not like a particular type of mattress, as the choice and tastes differ among people. Some people like a very light mattress while some like hard surface mattresses.<br /><br />If you want to buy a mattress there are 4 important points to be kept in mind:<br /><br />Soft or hard mattress: It is best to choose a mattress by lying down on it for a minute and giving it a test. Some people like a mattress that is little soft while others like very soft mattresses. Do not just check the brand name and buy a mattress, test and then buy.<br /><br />Durability: The mattress should be very comfortable and the quality of the materials used should be very good, so that it can last for years.<br /><br />Warranty: The competition in the mattress industry is picking up and there are companies which provide 20 years warranty, so buy a mattress which at least provides 10 years warranty.<br /><br />Space: Buy the mattress according to the size of the bed. The measurements of beds are different, so buy the right ones. If you are single then buy a single mattress and if two people sleep then buy a double bed mattress so that you have enough space to sleep and roll on the bed.<br /><br />It is very difficult to suggest a good mattress, as there are many opinions on each and every mattress available in the market. So, it is advised to judge the mattresses by keeping the above points in mind while buying a mattress.<br /><br />By Paul Cris </div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-51013556226490316352008-04-24T18:05:00.006+08:002008-10-21T13:13:45.721+08:00How To Clean A Mattress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEHnTmBgIdIrX0mM2ltc3p1s3Q42G5l75cVFyIWMtDdBClqdvoAO7Ov-vdn9_1XI1WGhOrBorg4aSQaQU6FHWqgGAkU5V3XQjxiMLQ7FonWc7NfiAMBDo10fF7uEYw_HmEV3Lo2JdPro/s1600-h/romantic-05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEEHnTmBgIdIrX0mM2ltc3p1s3Q42G5l75cVFyIWMtDdBClqdvoAO7Ov-vdn9_1XI1WGhOrBorg4aSQaQU6FHWqgGAkU5V3XQjxiMLQ7FonWc7NfiAMBDo10fF7uEYw_HmEV3Lo2JdPro/s400/romantic-05.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259470980272684082" /></a><br /><div align="justify">I work for the housekeeping department in one of the most reputed hotels in my town and mattresses are my specialty. Everything from purchasing decision to their maintenance is handled by me. So, I guess I should not be surprised if every other day one of my friends or their friends calls up to asks me "How do I clean the mattress?". Everyone wants a tip on how to clean the mattress.<br /><br />As I kept repeating these tips time after time, I realized that there might be others who would want to know how to clean the mattress. So hear is what I learnt:<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 1-Prevention is better than cure<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 2-Good old vacuuming<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 3-Flip and rotate<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 4- Stains and pains<br /><br />Stains are inevitable; if you must clean them try using mild soaps. It would be even better if you could get upholstery shampoo.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 6 Dry is Clean<br /><br />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<br /><br />By Allan Wilson</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-69125692623209122162008-04-24T18:05:00.005+08:002008-10-21T13:12:34.723+08:006 Mattress Care Tips<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgheWB9VBxhivpBJjm4aBS_NgXANA-yyJzaKNU5JOJ1TZxKRxZ-hKBghl0ix9kFW7siBfR9WM0VmCRQYkHWWIpGPEsNB1e792OqtZS9PfnAx1qibsNGD3aaf6YACyTmGIF3L6B0pcA-hxw/s1600-h/romantic-03.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgheWB9VBxhivpBJjm4aBS_NgXANA-yyJzaKNU5JOJ1TZxKRxZ-hKBghl0ix9kFW7siBfR9WM0VmCRQYkHWWIpGPEsNB1e792OqtZS9PfnAx1qibsNGD3aaf6YACyTmGIF3L6B0pcA-hxw/s400/romantic-03.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259470699413441506" /></a><br /><div align="justify">Ensuring that you get the most life out of your bed is an important aspect of enjoying your sleep for years to come. These helpful mattress care tips should help prolong the life of your mattress.<br /><br />* Invest in a Bedding Pad: A quality mattress pad serves several functions in prolonging the life of your mattress. A good mattress pad will bear the brunt of your weight and use of the mattress, which will help reduce the wear and tear on your mattress. Mattress pads will also catch stains before they reach your mattress. Replacing a stained mattress pad is much less expensive and much more convenient than replacing a quality bed.<br /><br />* Turn Your Mattress Regularly: To help prevent sagging springs and unsightly sags, turn on a regular basis. Be sure to flip both vertically and horizontally.<br /><br />* Provide Support: Old, busted foundations and box spring sets may not be firm enough to provide adequate support for a high-quality bed. When you replace your bedding, also consider replacing your foundation.<br /><br />* Carry Your Bed On It's Side: Instead of using the handles on the side when you are carrying it, be sure to always carry the bed upright on its side. The handles should only be used for positioning the mattress on the foundation, and can create sags in the mattress if carried by the handles.<br /><br />* Avoiding Smoking, Eating, & Drinking on the Mattresses/Beds: Although it sounds comfortable, avoid eating & drinking on it. If it does get wet, be sure to quickly dry it using a hair dryer or by air drying. Keeping the mattress away from smoke can also help to prolong the life!<br /><br />* Keep Jumping to the Trampoline: Although it's tempting, avoid jumping on the beds and avoid letting others jump on the bed. Mattresses are not designed to withstand the weight of a person jumping on the bed.<br /><br /><br />By Mat Siltala </div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-8372669648142155832008-04-14T11:04:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:11:33.790+08:00Selecting a Mattress Pad for Your Baby's Crib<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT44oXhyphenhyphenf2c4tzleTOJSgAVZWHPyuV28EaJHno_1T6oNDsYBC0KZmFgapG1KEl9j7dIIcnz3wJC1lAPkqqehiAxVw42atjX9y1Ai6emoumjcNmPtgd6sj6J00hD9v5wuENJZAVlNBh3RY/s1600-h/tempted.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT44oXhyphenhyphenf2c4tzleTOJSgAVZWHPyuV28EaJHno_1T6oNDsYBC0KZmFgapG1KEl9j7dIIcnz3wJC1lAPkqqehiAxVw42atjX9y1Ai6emoumjcNmPtgd6sj6J00hD9v5wuENJZAVlNBh3RY/s400/tempted.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259470411508565138" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Mattress pads are commonly used in cribs to protect the mattress from being damaged by liquids. The best mattress pads are highly absorbent and fit snugly against the mattress. By making sure that the mattress pad that you select for your baby's crib is both very absorbent and fits the mattress properly, you are ensuring that it will be able to keep both the mattress and the baby as dry and clean as possible.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">When selecting a mattress pad, you also need to be certain that you choose one that is both washable and easily to remove. It is likely to need washing every single day, sometimes more than once a day. The fabric should be durable enough to withstand frequent washings. You may want to consider investing in more than one mattress pad to allow for those days when wetting problems are at their worst.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Making sure that the mattress pad you select fits the mattress in your baby’s crib properly is very important for reasons other than keeping the mattress and the baby clean. A proper-fitting mattress pad is an important safety consideration. If the mattress pad in your baby’s crib can shift easily from one place to another in the bed, it is a suffocation hazard.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another important consideration when selecting a mattress pad is to find out if the one you are considering is designed to protect your baby from dust and other allergens that may build up on his or her mattress. Choose a mattress pad that is dust proof so that it will provide an additional benefit of protecting your baby from dust and other allergens. A dust proof mattress pad can play an important role in reducing common health related issues often triggered by allergens, such as asthma, bronchitis and sneezing.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Your mattress pad check list needs to include the following items: proper fit, washable, easily removable, and dust proof. There are many sources to find affordable mattress pads for your baby’s crib that meet all of the above criteria. Many baby oriented retailers, mass merchandisers, linen stores and a wide variety of online retailers are likely to have exactly what you need to protect your baby and his or her crib mattress.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By Scott Nichols<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-25036875519116784782008-04-14T11:02:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:10:35.884+08:00Waterbed Mattress Pads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZYw07DhZ284LrcD0B5WoJbocZDS_YQF-ho4BOTlsjQ45fTNMHEM5W1AowaXYcrci7GavhYtvm6oVSTcufV2s7tC9G_W2F1XjBdlW4rEaFr6IZTqxbomCRdBM_Rgqnpi3lCArBZPleDQ/s1600-h/real+at+home.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPZYw07DhZ284LrcD0B5WoJbocZDS_YQF-ho4BOTlsjQ45fTNMHEM5W1AowaXYcrci7GavhYtvm6oVSTcufV2s7tC9G_W2F1XjBdlW4rEaFr6IZTqxbomCRdBM_Rgqnpi3lCArBZPleDQ/s400/realx-at+home.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259470087307360514" /></a><br />Waterbed mattress pads can enhance your enjoyment of your waterbed. You know you can sleep well in a waterbed, but using a mattress pad will give you more personal comfort and support as well as improving air circulation around you and your mattress.<br /><br />If you are using a hard-sided water bed, then you can choose from a wide selection of mattress pads. There are cotton top waterbed pads for your mattress, heavy-duty polyester, as well as thermal waterbed pads. Whichever your preference, it is important you buy or order the appropriate size pad for your water bed. You should measure the overall depth of the waterbed mattress and the pillow top that you intend to cover.<br /><br />You can also get mattress pads for your hard-sided waterbed which are quilted, this means the mattress pad has side quilting for a more elegant and sophisticated look. They can come in different sizes, and are usually made up of 100 percent cotton. Usually, the pads fit perfectly to a mattress with a depth of 12 inches. For a plusher feel as well as improved support, you can get pads with additional filling and anchor bands. Pads made from 100 percent cotton should be machine washable and only need gentle drying.<br /><br />Classier mattress pads tend to be made of cluster fibers. They have various sizes, so you can choose one which perfectly fits your bed frame. They normally come with an anchor band and are made of 100 percent cotton. They can be fitted to a mattress with a depth of 16 inches and utilize a zippered mattress cover. What’s generally great about these types of mattress pads is the amazing sleeping comfort you can obtain from their down-like fill of cluster fiber—a mixture of softness for a sounder sleep and hardness that warrants their long-lasting use.<br /><br />If you are not sure of the size of your water bed then you can simply opt for the one-size-fits all mattress pads. Regardless of whether you have hard-sided or soft-sided water beds in king and queen sizes, you know you can’t go wrong with these mattress pads. Normally, they are made of 100 percent quilted cotton top and can contain additional deep pockets. They are designed to be usable to any standard mattresses available, even those with a 14-inch depth. To make them extra soft, they may be overfilled with cotton or polyester.<br /><br />By Richard MersonChintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-29869962883414096532008-04-14T11:01:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:09:07.494+08:00Choosing the Right Mattress Pad<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKysJTiskREVwNB3z-Dor6gxQIscFz3LSDYq078awvfX6oTX9XnHu-BbS9u7st2xKsl16m5IhoTkOjw148ySygMS4OHvVxMsoKTQUa5YS7vsQp0MrtUly1ui1SP4XgBt5b5N-nh1GoomE/s1600-h/I+agree.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKysJTiskREVwNB3z-Dor6gxQIscFz3LSDYq078awvfX6oTX9XnHu-BbS9u7st2xKsl16m5IhoTkOjw148ySygMS4OHvVxMsoKTQUa5YS7vsQp0MrtUly1ui1SP4XgBt5b5N-nh1GoomE/s400/I+agree.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259469792895603170" /></a><br />So, you’ve decided to buy a new mattress. You even know what kind you’re going to buy. Then you see the price. Yikes! Don’t worry, you don’t have break the bank. And you don’t have to continue to suffer with your old mattress -- there is another alternative. You can buy a mattress pad.<br /><br />Mattress pads are available in a variety of different types. This mattress pad goes on top of your existing mattress, giving you the benefits of the more expensive memory foam, but at a much lower price.<br /><br />Memory foam is also available in a mattress pad. This gives you the body-contouring support of memory foam, but at a fraction of the cost. Memory foam mattress pads are available in a variety of thicknesses. Naturally, you will get more support from the thicker pads, but these do cost more.<br /><br />In addition to memory foam mattress pads, there are other options. Pillowtop mattress pads are also popular. Pillowtop mattress pads are soft and comfortable, but also give added support to joints.<br /><br />For those with allergies, the Allergy Buyers Club offers many choices. For example, the Euphoria Organic Wool and Latex mattress pad uses natural lambswool. It is completely chemical and dye-free, so even the most sensitive allergy sufferers can use it. In addition, latex is anti-microbial, dust-mite resistant, and mildew proof, so the mattress pad has added health advantages. Allergy Buyers Club also offers mattress pads made of cotton, alpaca wool, goose down, and fleece wool. Some of these mattress pads are quite a bit more expensive than their non-hypoallergenic counterparts, but they are still much cheaper than hypoallergenic mattresses.<br /><br />Whether you need a pillow-top, memory foam, or hypoallergenic mattress pad, you should be able to find one to suit your needs.<br /><br />By Eric MorrisChintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-69336167355842804172008-04-14T10:56:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:08:28.061+08:00Cotton and Wool Mattress Pads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0ibYu10pKq7V6a-Q1FGX04Tqc0t4JdW528QIIZEN5Ka3-Wz99oBCC5wlqCZhyqvy7AWBVI5Ny6DycsYDOCzo3JKuFLJyf1FSH5B7mysz0qH41hJiZjTtMaOsO_2_n5bhGyLT4GmUCq8/s1600-h/grey-sofa.jpe"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhW0ibYu10pKq7V6a-Q1FGX04Tqc0t4JdW528QIIZEN5Ka3-Wz99oBCC5wlqCZhyqvy7AWBVI5Ny6DycsYDOCzo3JKuFLJyf1FSH5B7mysz0qH41hJiZjTtMaOsO_2_n5bhGyLT4GmUCq8/s400/grey-sofa.jpe" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259469630957488114" /></a><br />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.<br /><br />There are many types of mattress pads but probably the two most common types are pads filled with wool and pads filled with cotton.<br /><br />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?<br /><br />The advantages of wool are:<br /><br />* Science cannot match the quality of natural wool.<br />* Wool helps your body maintain a regular temperature.<br />* 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.<br />* Wool fights against dust mites and mildew.<br />* Not only does wool repel water and dust naturally, it is difficult to ignite.<br />* Wool is a natural insulator, so a pad filled with wool will be warm in winter and cool in summer.<br /><br />The advantages of cotton are:<br /><br />* 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.<br />* Science has never been able to copy natural fibre.<br />* People have been enjoying cotton close to them for about 5000 years. What a recommendation for cotton!<br />* Cotton absorbs moisture that accumulates where you sleep. This keeps you and your bed dry.<br />* Cotton is soft and supple.<br />* 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.<br />* Cotton is resilient. Cotton is also a good natural insulator. This means your mattress pad is warm in winter and cool in summer.<br /><br />By John BartelsChintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-65739680108929450462008-03-15T11:08:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:07:04.506+08:00Magnetic Therapy Gives Pain Relief<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSdg-crWEvWi-tZSlCcbvb70toXRCKSusZjrDs5VyyYgtvf1Djcx_YNcyey7IydGScNUaHVRCLJj_M0qcQ0Lh4j0FSjvzl2Q-uDXDvAf6q358tRnsYZbU7o0W-ReVU2JAs2O6dbb7CQw/s1600-h/calm-eyes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbSdg-crWEvWi-tZSlCcbvb70toXRCKSusZjrDs5VyyYgtvf1Djcx_YNcyey7IydGScNUaHVRCLJj_M0qcQ0Lh4j0FSjvzl2Q-uDXDvAf6q358tRnsYZbU7o0W-ReVU2JAs2O6dbb7CQw/s400/calm-eyes.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259469268735705746" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The idea of using magnetic therapy for therapeutic purposes started thousands of years ago in Greece. It can increase blood flow and increase the oxygen level in the body, which will alleviate the pain in the treated area. So it shouldn't come as a surprise that athletes such as Bill Romanowski and Steve Atwater have resorted to magnetic therapy to get some pain relief. The American public has also decided to use this alternative, non-invasive healing technique. One out of 1,000 American homes use magnetic therapeutic products. Companies that sell magnetic therapeutic products say that American consumers will spend more than $500 million on these items this year. Some athletes are even endorsing brand-name magnetic therapeutic products. The use of these products is even more popular in other parts of the world. One out of 7 Japanese homes and 1 out of 10 German homes use these products. There are many magnetic products available that can treat many conditions. A magnetic mattress pad can provide relief from insomnia, joint pain, muscle spasm and fibromyalgia. Magnetic insoles can alleviate painful inflammation resulting from bone spurs. Magnetic wraps can be used to relieve lower back pain, arthritic joints and inflamed tendons. Magnetic bracelets can be used to help with carpal tunnel syndrome. There have been studies that indicate that there are positive benefits to using magnetic therapy.<br /><br />At the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, a double blind study was conducted to determine the effects of authentic magnetic devices and placebo devices on the knee pain of 50 adult patients. The knee pain was attributed to the poliovirus they contracted when they were kids. This study concluded that the 29 patients who used the authentic magnetic devices had a greater reduction in pain than the 21 patients who used the placebo devices.<br /><br />In the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine there was a study conducted by researchers at the University of Virginia that looked into the effectiveness of magnetic therapy on patients suffering from fibromyalgia pain. People with fibromyalgia suffer from musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and multiple tender points. Two percent of the population suffers from fibromyalgia. The 6-month study was conducted on 94 patients suffering from fibromyalgia to test the effectiveness of magnetic sleep pads. They were randomly placed into 4 groups. The first group used sleep pads with fake magnets. Another group was asked to stick to their normal treatment routine that didn't involve magnetic therapy. A third group used magnetic sleep pads that exposed their entire body to a low, uniform magnetic field. The last group used magnetic sleep pads that used magnets that varied in intensity. At the end of the 6 month study, it was determined that the two groups that used magnetic therapy did show improvement in outcome scores of pain intensity level, number of tender points on the body and functional status. The other two groups did not show the same type of improvement.<br /><br />Researchers from the Peninsula Medical School conducted a magnetic therapy study on 194 patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee. For 12 weeks, these test subjects were required to wear either a standard magnetic bracelet, a weak magnetic bracelet, or a non-magnetic bracelet. The standard magnetic group had a reduction in pain that was not matched by the other two groups. The results for the non-magnetic and weak magnet groups were similar. These results indicate that the magnetic strength of the bracelet is also important.<br /><br />But as of today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved of magnetic therapy.<br /><br />Michael Russell</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-86411486832668292172008-02-08T16:19:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:05:35.206+08:00Ten Reasons why You Should Buy a Memoryfoam Mattress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-JCKqUvNMrOp9JJsiuNrk7-lbY7MJswZSOrEtlIIXvzdO1hp1aP81WoMik6LrcySsCGZMAhxEoPzObY3yi2nNTNhqeOb-TackTifiJV97zG1Pl4PIigXgz2FZ7us_nfOjdaK-4ZmLqg/s1600-h/i+like+it.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK-JCKqUvNMrOp9JJsiuNrk7-lbY7MJswZSOrEtlIIXvzdO1hp1aP81WoMik6LrcySsCGZMAhxEoPzObY3yi2nNTNhqeOb-TackTifiJV97zG1Pl4PIigXgz2FZ7us_nfOjdaK-4ZmLqg/s400/i+like+it.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259468871891057042" /></a><br /><div align="justify">A memoryfoam mattress is constructed of space age materials, initially created by NASA, that can conform to the unique contours of your body like nothing else. Memoryfoam never fulfilled its space age potential but is nevertheless the single most important technological innovation in bedding in the last century.<br />There are a number of reasons why you should consider buying a memoryfoam mattress--this article discusses a few of those reasons.<br /><br />A memoryfoam mattress conforms to your body completely, and is a perfect choice no matter whether you prefer to sleep on your back, on your side, or on your stomach.<br />Also, a memoryfoam mattress isolates vibrations, which means that your partner will not be disturbed no matter how many times you get up or change positions.<br />In addition to that, memoryfoam is designed so as to not put undo pressure on any part of your body. Memoryfoam is by its nature hypoallergenic, so it is perfect for allergy sufferers. Since a memoryfoam mattress does not sag, there is no reason to go through the ritual of occasionally flipping it as you would have to do with other mattresses.<br />Another reason to consider purchasing a memoryfoam mattress is the simple fact that it was developed by NASA, so you know that no expense was spared in coming up with the most advanced and functional technology possible.<br />Of course, perhaps the best reason to consider purchasing a memoryfoam mattress is the luxury factor. There is simply no other technology that can provide a sleeping experience that can compete with memoryfoam on comfort.<br />The other reasons to choose a memoryfoam mattress include the fact that dust mites and other parasites can not survive on it, the fact that millions of health care professional endorse memoryfoam, and the fact that most outlets provide outstanding warranties on their memoryfoam products.<br /><br />By Allen Wicker</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-29851477965640578512008-02-08T16:07:00.001+08:002008-10-21T13:04:29.173+08:00How To Clean A Mattress<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh23zIfduiLq-1uv1pnja72cVBSPP86mIBQTOHjA5takxJb63JoG_313njDV9J8Z7eImRikvnSBmtGs0sYEDlx7DA09kvwGsl-jAWPUz3ZpvmG6NiDc-y2WXviE787m4fFlsJ45BXsJjTs/s1600-h/nice-eyes.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh23zIfduiLq-1uv1pnja72cVBSPP86mIBQTOHjA5takxJb63JoG_313njDV9J8Z7eImRikvnSBmtGs0sYEDlx7DA09kvwGsl-jAWPUz3ZpvmG6NiDc-y2WXviE787m4fFlsJ45BXsJjTs/s400/nice-eyes.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259468571876914002" /></a><div align="justify">I work for the housekeeping department in one of the most reputed hotels in my town and mattresses are my specialty. Everything from purchasing decision to their maintenance is handled by me. So, I guess I should not be surprised if every other day one of my friends or their friends calls up to asks me "How do I clean the mattress?". Everyone wants a tip on how to clean the mattress.<br /><br />As I kept repeating these tips time after time, I realized that there might be others who would want to know how to clean the mattress. So hear is what I learnt:<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 1-Prevention is better than cure<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 2-Good old vacuuming<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 3-Flip and rotate<br /><br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 4- Stains and pains<br /><br />Stains are inevitable; if you must clean them try using mild soaps. It would be even better if you could get upholstery shampoo.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 5- The trade secret<br />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.<br /><br />How to clean the mattress: Step 6 Dry is Clean<br /><br />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.</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-89574779467062903382007-11-20T20:08:00.000+08:002007-12-11T17:53:31.240+08:00Magnetic Mattress Pads - Therapy While You Sleep<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lgaAqKkYDT8eAd5AHfyaFGzVs4dwQIZa3G9jYGzU8KGzMIXk6jzoS9zY4AlpMuXb25KtWWxIBEGY70QImzoPIc-Uqs9xA-gl76spyk-SmNUZczU4GnWIMq7w0L1wBBI4et3bg4FKys8/s1600-h/Magnetic_Mattress_Pad.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1lgaAqKkYDT8eAd5AHfyaFGzVs4dwQIZa3G9jYGzU8KGzMIXk6jzoS9zY4AlpMuXb25KtWWxIBEGY70QImzoPIc-Uqs9xA-gl76spyk-SmNUZczU4GnWIMq7w0L1wBBI4et3bg4FKys8/s320/Magnetic_Mattress_Pad.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5142651250234770034" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:7;color:black;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">By Juliette Pickup</span> </span><span style="line-height: 150%;font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><o:p></o:p></span><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify;"><span style="line-height: 150%; color: rgb(75, 75, 75);font-family:Verdana;font-size:10;" ><span style="font-size:100%;">Imagine being able to have physical therapy whenever you want, even when you're asleep? This is possible and not just for those people who have large amounts of money. This is possible if you have a magnetic mattress pad. These pads are new innovations that will provide you with the magnetic therapy that will benefit you in so many ways. These mattress pads will lie on top of your mattress and never need to be charged and they don't ever need maintenance.<br />You may ask how something that doesn't require you to do a lot of upkeep work can give you so many benefits and how these mattress pads can be distributed for such reasonable prices when they are so beneficial. These magnetic mattress pads provide you with high quality magnetic therapy while you are lying on them. This means that while you are sleeping on it each night the mattress pad is helping to alleviate the pain associated with certain diseases.<br /><br />The pad is filled with powerful magnets set out in a pattern that has been determined to provide you with the utmost magnetic therapy. These magnets are covered with damask as well as a layer of foam to ensure that you do not have your night's sleep interrupted by the pain of sleeping on hard magnets. The magnets are orientated towards bio-north and are of a powerful enough gauss to positively affect the delicate bio-environment that is your body.<br /><br />The magnetic therapy that you magnetic mattress pads provide will benefit you by helping to raise the speed of blood circulation and raising the level of oxygen in the blood. This is believed to help slow the aging since it is caused by the process of oxidization. The mattress pads are also believed to help arthritis by preventing the built up of calcium deposits.<br /><br />The magnetic therapy helps with pain relief because when the rate of blood circulation rises it can become more effective in flushing away the toxins in your body that are causing the pain you are experiencing. An additional benefit is that because the toxins are being flushed away more effectively the level of your health can gradually increase as your body eliminates the toxins from your body. You body can then begin to function at closer to optimal level since it is not concentrating on eliminating the constant build up of toxins in your blood stream and else where in your body.<br /><br />The increase in oxygen levels in your blood can give you more energy as the more oxygenated is distributed to the tissues and muscles in your body. This can lead to enhanced mental performance and awareness as well as increased physical performance by the increasing of your energy levels. Sleeping on magnetic mattress pads can help you to get a deep, refreshing night's sleep every night and can help you to wake up in the morning feeling energized and healthy.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><b>Can anything be done to help?</b></p><div> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Dr. Nagawa, as well as other researchers and medical professionals, believes that correcting this deficiency can easily be accomplished by supplementing the earth's magnetic field with a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/s1/magnetic-mattress-pad_150.html">magnetic mattress pad</a> using negative (north) polarity.

An important caviat when purchasing magnetic therapy products manufactured overseas is that the magnets used are typically very small, with very low energy and limited penetration depth (less than 2").

Many people, from doctors to athletes, swear by its effectiveness. Magnet therapy is rooted on the belief that placing a magnet on your body will attract the iron in your blood to that area and increase blood circulation. Studies have shown this method of pain relief to be effective even though medical science has yet to prove its worth.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">People who use magnet therapy can find wraps for any area of their body that suffers from chronic pain. Hot spot areas are generally joints, back and even the head. A new wave of magnet therapy offers total body relief while you sleep. A magnetic mattress pad is essentially a magnet for your entire body.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">How It Works<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A magnetic mattress pad is similar to a regular mattress pad in its use. It is a cushioned pad that rests on top of your mattress. The main difference is that a magnetic mattress pad contains small magnets. These small magnets are intended to provide pain relief while you sleep. Depressions, arthritis and fibromylagia sufferers have found magnetic mattress pads to be helpful.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The increased blood circulation throughout the entire body has helped many people suffering from chronic pain due to medical disorders get a better night’s rest and feel less pain when they use a magnetic mattress pad. Some people even claim that magnetic mattress pads can benefit you by slowing down the aging process because of the increased blood circulation.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The two most important aspects of getting the right magnetic mattress pad that will provide pain relief to your body are quality and comfort. If you are searching for a mattress pad in general, always look for the one with the highest quality. A high quality magnetic mattress pad provides the highest number of magnets, as it is the magnets that help increase blood circulation. Ask about the number of magnets in the pad before you decide on the right one for you.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Test out the magnetic mattress pad before buying, if possible. Make sure that you feel comfortable lying on the pad. Comfort is a major factor in determining how well you sleep. Even if you suffer from restless sleep without aches and pains, you may find the magnetic mattress pad to be just what you are looking for. So, if you suffer from chronic pain, body aches or restless nights, try a magnetic mattress pad The only thing you have to lose is the pain, and you have a relaxing, rejuvenating night of sleep to gain.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Effects of Magnetic Energy<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Positive Magnetic Energy from the Sun<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Promotes deep and restorative sleep<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Supports the healing process<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Decreases inflammation and relieves pain<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Increases cellular oxygen<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Negative Magnetic Energy from the Earth<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Stimulates wakefulness<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Inhibits the healing process<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Can increase inflammation and aggravate pain<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">* Decreases cellular oxygen<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Dr. W.H.

The therapeutic benefits of Magnetic Therapy have been both documented and embraced the world over. Did you know that in Japan, 1 in every 7 homes uses some form of magnetic therapy? In Germany, the number is 1 in every 10. In fact, Magnetic Therapy Products are already categorized as accepted medical devices by the governments of Japan, Germany, France, Italy and Israel.<br /><br />Among the most popular products offered under the umbrella of magnetic therapy are Magnetic Mattress Pads. Offered in a variety of styles, sizes and magnetic strength, choosing the right magnetic mattress pad can sometimes appear to be "overwhelming" to the ordinary consumer - especially when it is a proven fact that not ALL magnetic mattress pads and magnetic pad companies are created equally.<br /><br />To make your buying experience as easy and trouble-free as possible, Magnetic Mattress Pads has put together four very important things you should keep in mind when selecting a magnetic mattress pad on the Internet today:<br /><br />1. Does the company in question offer an advertised 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee on all magnetic mattress products purchased through them?<br />2. Is the company reputable and easily locatable with a site containing testimonials and health resources on the perceived effects of magnet therapy in general?<br />3. Does the company market the very latest in mattress pad products, explaining in detail the difference between products using disk magnets to those that use domino magnets and give detailed suggestions as to which pads are best used for each individual?<br />4. Does the company offer a complete selection of magnetic mattress pads and offer a "guaranteed lowest price" policy?<br />5. Does the company give you a Free magnetic pillow pad and magnetic bracelet with each purchase? Do they also, additionally, give you a pair of $48 value magnetic insoles when you purchase more than one magnetic mattress pad?<br /><br />Let's look at each of these extremely important points in detail one at a time.<br /><br />Question #1 -<br /><br />Does the company in question offer an advertised 90-day Satisfaction Guarantee on magnetic mattress products purchased through them?<br /><br />Buying a product with a "satisfaction warranty" is useless if you cannot contact the company or if these "guarantees" come with burdensome terms and conditions which must be met. Not so at Magnetic Mattress Pads. We believe a "satisfaction policy" should address your "satisfaction" not ours. To that end, we have an industry leading 90-Day Satisfaction Policy which allows you to return your magnetic mattress purchase with no questions asked. Guaranteed! Why do we do this? Because our return rate is under 1% annually and we KNOW you will love your mattress or you can return it!<br /><br /><br />Question #2 -<br /><br />Is the company reputable and easily locatable with a site containing testimonials and health resources on the perceived effects of magnet therapy in general?<br /><br />Here at Magnetic Mattress Pads we don't believe you should have to search every page of our site for our phone number and contact information. If you have a question, call us, we really want to help you. Therefore you will find our 1-800# and address information located clearly on every page of our website. Further, unlike many of our competitors, we do not and will not make any unsubstantiated claims about our products. You will find our site lists customer testimonials which relate their experiences with our products in their own words and we strongly urge you read them before you make any buying decision. Further, Magnetic Mattresses contains numerous articles, studies and related information on the topics of Magnet Therapy and the perceived benefits that it may hold for a variety of everyday ailments.<br /><br /><br />Questions #3 -<br /><br />Does the company market the very latest in mattress pad products, explaining in detail the difference between products using disk magnets to those that use domino magnets and give detailed suggestions as to which pads are best used for each individual?<br /><br />As I mentioned earlier, not all magnetic mattress retailers are created equal. Many continue to sell mattresses with inferior magnets, which do absolutely nothing to relieve your body's aches and pains. When buying a magnetic mattress ALWAYS ask if the mattress contains either "domino" or "disk "magnets in its construction. What's the difference you ask? Well, cheaper domino magnets have an oblong magnetic field which provides less BAS (Break Away Strength) in the patented BAST tests. This means that a one-inch disk magnet has 61% more strength than a domino magnet. Some companies claim that the more a Pad weighs, the better it is. This is like stating that an iron ship is stronger than a steel ship. But as you can scientifically see, the lighter disk magnet is stronger and more effective than the domino. The shape of the magnetic field in the domino magnets also causes the magnetic field itself to "bleed" south pole energy, which is stimulating and not what you want when you are trying to sleep. This oblong magnetic field from the domino magnet results in magnetic relief that is nowhere near as effective as that provided by the circular magnetic field that is generated by the disc magnets used in most Magnetic Mattress Pads products available on this site. Magnetic Mattress Pads manufactures high quality products that are provided to Doctors and the general public, but we also manufacture for dinner seminar companies and other health businesses. Some of these companies have us manufacture domino magnetic mattress pads, so we have these available to you as well. Although this type can be effective to a certain degree, we strongly recommend the technology of the disk magnetic fields.<br /><br />It is also imperative to find a company who can easily and correctly recommend product to you to suit a wide range of ailments and sleeping patterns. For example, our Deluxe, Premium Foam, High Density and our Maintenance Pads are for people who sleep on their back only. If you sleep on your side, you put more pressure or pounds per square inch on your shoulder, thigh, elbow and knee. Because of this we would suggest our Deluxe Foam, Super High Density Foam or our Advanced Memory Foam Pads. The more magnets in the pad, such as the Super High Density Foam or our Advanced Memory Foam Pads, the more thorough the magnetic field coverage and the more overall time exposure you receive. This is best for people with arthritis, fibromyalgia, high blood pressure, diabetes, aches & pains and more serious health issues. There are also long-term Anti-aging health benefits that can accrue, such as the reduction of oxidation, acidity and calcium levels in the blood and body over time.<br /><br />Question #4 -<br /><br />Does the company offer a complete selection of magnetic mattress pads, including their "competitors" AND offer a "guaranteed lowest price" policy?<br /><br />Here at Magnetic Mattress Pads we feel that we have provided you with a great selection of magnetic mattress pads for every type of user - 9 different styles. Furthermore, we have also provided you with the other Manufacturer's magnetic mattress pads so that we are basically a one-stop location where you can find ALL the high quality magnetic mattress pads at one location. And all of them at the guaranteed lowest prices.<br /><br />Question #5 -<br /><br />Does the company give you a Free magnetic pillow pad and magnetic bracelet with each purchase? Do they also, additionally, give you a pair of $48 value magnetic insoles when you purchase more than one magnetic mattress pad?<br /><br />Magnetic Mattress Pads provides each purchaser of our high quality mattress pads with a Free magnetic pillow pad and a magnetic bracelet. In addition, when you purchase two or more pads at one time, we give you a pair of our $48 value high strength magnetic shoe insoles.</div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-71463428477307048452007-11-20T19:21:00.001+08:002008-10-21T12:53:24.120+08:00Benefit of Magnetic Mattress Pads<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-TqGaN33ZYEDT1n40DVEJJv-ut3aCQguzzn6sQ-GIFpRhsWmYRkz-DkH6OR5krtOsEcb32wIOAzcWG-3rl4kvnyoh89b4Pl5ULQXZBufhXPa8y5FqXMu0tGzXgJOoEan3vI0g6Iw8FU/s1600-h/oh-money.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1-TqGaN33ZYEDT1n40DVEJJv-ut3aCQguzzn6sQ-GIFpRhsWmYRkz-DkH6OR5krtOsEcb32wIOAzcWG-3rl4kvnyoh89b4Pl5ULQXZBufhXPa8y5FqXMu0tGzXgJOoEan3vI0g6Iw8FU/s400/oh-money.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259464593673840978" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Magnetic mattress pads bathe your body with a natural magnetic field that many believe helps improve circulation and oxygenate the bloodstream.The natural result of better circulation and more oxygen is improved healing and strength for areas of the body weakened by age or disease.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">ALL of our Magnetic Mattress Pads provide these benefits.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">1.

One group used Pad A, which provided whole-body exposure to a low, uniformly static magnetic field of negative polarity. The effects of using North/negative magnetic energy in this group reduced Fibromyalgia pain intensity enough to be "clinically meaningful,” Another group using Pad B, which provided whole body exposure to a low, variable positioned static magnetic field of ALTERNATING (bipolar) polarity, showed an improvement in all outcomes after 3 and 6 months - although the results were statistically inconclusive.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2) Magnetic Mattress Pads Use in Patients with Fibromyalgia, A Randomized Double-blind Pilot Study, conducted by Agatha P. Colbert, M.D. Clinical Assistant Professor of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, MA. Conclusions were simply this; "Sleeping on a magnetic mattress pad, with a magnet surface field strength of 1100+-50 Gauss, delivering 200-600 Gauss at the skin surface provides statistically significant and clinically relevant pain relief and sleep improvement in subjects with Fibromyalgia. No adverse reactions were noted during the 16-week trial period." "The results of this pilot study demonstrate that sleeping for an average of 8 hours per night (prone, supine, or side-lying) on a mattress pad which delivers a 200-600 G static magnetic field, for 16 weeks, provides significant pain relief and sleep improvement in women with FM. Because pharmaceutical agents are associated with a high rate of adverse effects and offer only minimum relief for the majority of patients, we recommend a trial of magnet therapy, as a non-invasive, painless, low risk adjunct to standard medical and physiatric interventions."<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3) A study using magnetic mattress pads, carried out over a 1 year period in 3 of Japan's foremost hospitals: by Dr. Cazuo Shimodara. The total number of patients in this double blind clinical experiment was 431 (216 male, 215 female). Some patients were given the magnetic mattress pads and some were given non-magnetic pads. None of the 431 subjects knew which pad they were sleeping on. Subjects selected for the experiment were patients with neck and shoulder pain. The conclusion of this year-long study was: Magnetic mattress pads proved effective on neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, lower limb pain, insomnia, and fatigue, and to have no side effects."<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-53290600062523333662007-11-20T19:18:00.001+08:002008-10-21T12:47:56.369+08:00Why A Magnetic Mattress Pad Matters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeDOI0Aci_Pbo50Fpbpc6c_OsuWlTn4MsndBjRGzf5p9LrdJNz4qlkoTY4b7JyK-ULaB5FROPpPGwIYPTrDdzhqgwe0pqpdBMPJs3ObI8_m6LUYu9XWgZ1pihpQQ17aUgSoL8NqImqP0/s1600-h/purple-bra.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSeDOI0Aci_Pbo50Fpbpc6c_OsuWlTn4MsndBjRGzf5p9LrdJNz4qlkoTY4b7JyK-ULaB5FROPpPGwIYPTrDdzhqgwe0pqpdBMPJs3ObI8_m6LUYu9XWgZ1pihpQQ17aUgSoL8NqImqP0/s400/purple-bra.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259463640363012546" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Do magnetic mattress pads really do anything? What good are they? Well, if you've ever wondered if you need one, find out here! A magnetic mattress pad can make any mattress a great deal more comfortable. By placing extra padding on top of the regular mattress, softness can be added without removing the support of the mattress. These pads are usually one to three inches in depth and are made for several different materials which we will discuss.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Most popular types of mattress pads are:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Memory foam pad- newer product that may ring a bell. The memory foam mattresses have received a great deal of television advertising and, while they look very appealing, they are not inexpensive. Recently, a thin pad version of this mattress has appeared on the market at a much more affordable price.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This pad is about 3 inches in depth and it has all the attributes of the memory foam mattress. The foam adjusts to the pressure placed on it so that there is no undue pressure on different areas of the body. This type of pad is very popular with anyone looking for additional comfort. If you don't have a pillow-top mattress but want that comfy feel, this pad may save you from purchasing a new mattress.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Egg crate- pad that looks as if you could store eggs in it. The foam hard depressions and raised areas that provide a bit more softness when placed over a hard mattress. The person who suffers from arthritis can frequently find sleeping much more comfortable with the addition of this type of pad on the mattress.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Egg crate pads are inexpensive and readily available. To install this type of pad on the mattress, first remove the bed sheets. Place the unrolled pad on top of the mattress and smooth it into place. If the bed is for a patient, a waterproof barrier may need to be placed over the pad where the most likely soiling could occur. Then place the fitted sheet back on the mattress. It will fit a bit more snugly than before and stay on the bed very well. Then you can remake the bed with the other bedding and it is ready for use.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Latex- if someone has incontinence problems or if you have children that are going through the stage where accidents can occur at night, latex pads can protect the mattress from stains and allow you to keep the mattress sanitary and odor-free.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Wool, down or feather pads- can make a cold bed warm and cozy. These pads, especially the down pads, also offer some added padding to help achy hips, shoulders, backs and other painful problems.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pre-warming- these electric pads work very much like an electric blanket but are on the mattress rather than over the sleeper. No more cold feet when you jump into bed. Wintertime chills run and hide very soon after you turn your electric mattress covering onto the desired setting. Some people like to sleep with the pad on; others prefer simply to use this as a pre-heating device.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Alternating pressure pad- used on a mattress for the truly bed-ridden patient. This plastic pad is placed on the mattress and is constructed of baffled tubes or sections which are filled with air or water. The pad is connected to an electric pump and the pump inflates, deflates and changes the pressure in each section at regular intervals. This can help heal a bed sore or completely prevent bed sores from occurring.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">This type of medical device pad can be obtained from a medical supply house and you should learn how to properly operate the device from the professionals who provide the equipment. Some medical supply houses will rent this type of pad for the use by those who must lie on their mattresses all day and night.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">No matter what situation best describes your particular needs, you'll find the perfect mattress pad to fill your nights with better sleep and comfort!<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">By Pat Bowlin<br /></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663679742251253629.post-9274925385944481322007-11-20T18:50:00.001+08:002008-10-21T12:43:35.882+08:00What is Magnetic Mattress Pad<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNH-6iXwr0tylGpx904SAET7hN037N8TLLr_YSWPYNd-NBC0J1yW5ljdf7k3JzuNhb9NhVl1y-Dfi2plvd6nGURjfAbDGK8IcHnFe-6F8_aVU_qh-_pbXCuMoAyDnQmh-uuZoYf7hi38/s1600-h/waiting-for-you.jpg"><img style="text-align: justify;float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvNH-6iXwr0tylGpx904SAET7hN037N8TLLr_YSWPYNd-NBC0J1yW5ljdf7k3JzuNhb9NhVl1y-Dfi2plvd6nGURjfAbDGK8IcHnFe-6F8_aVU_qh-_pbXCuMoAyDnQmh-uuZoYf7hi38/s400/waiting-for-you.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259462475363598898" /></a><div style="text-align: justify;">Magnetic Mattress Pad have an ability to increase blood circulation. The benefits associated with increased blood circulation may be one explanation of why they work. Magnetic mattress Pad also appear to have an influence on the neurons that transmit messages to the brain, which may explain how they affect pain sensations. Many users magnetic mattress pad report a better night’s rest and a deep, restorative sleep. The most advanced magnetic mattress pads developed to date project a pure North/negative magnetic field 16” above the bed surface. This can be done in four ways:<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">1. Using 1” disk magnets at 2 1/2” on center and placed in the mattress pad at least 1 ½ “ deep in the magnetic mattress pad.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">2. Use domino magnets and place the mattress pad under the regular mattress itself.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">3. Use domino magnets placed at least 2 ½” deep in the magnetic mattress pad placed on top of the bed. **<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">4. Use large block magnets under the magnetic mattress pad itself.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Other types of mattress pad construction and magnet grid patterns produce a bipolar (North/Negative and South/Positive) magnetic field above the pad, a feature that is not recommended for long-term use. For this reason the major manufacturer of this type of product recommends it be placed under the magnetic mattress pad itself. Used in this manner the magnetic field at the mattress pad surface is similar to that of the 1” ceramic disk magnets used in method 1.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Magnetic mattress pads are designed to relieve moderate discomfort and sleep disturbances. A Tru North Visco Pillow Top has proven to be the ideal construction to produce the maximum therapeutic benefit. Originally developed by NASA, Visco memory foam conforms to the body. The use of tight grid pattern of high-grade magnets provides the best system yet developed. Tru North Visco Pillow Tops are proving to be the best design to provide therapeutic benefits and deep restorative sleep.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sleep and the lack of sleep effects many aspects of our lives as well as the relationships with others. A lack of sleep can affect your health and well-being as well as limiting the ability to perform in a normal manner. Many people lose sleep because of chronic pain conditions that can be relieved by using the correct magnetic mattress pad. In a classic study Magnetic Field Deficiency Syndrome Dr. K Nakagawa was able to provide proof that the Earth’s magnetic field has greatly reduced in the last several centuries. His study indicates this lack of a normal magnetic field may be part of the reason for many of the chronic pain disease conditions of today such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and etc. This is undoubtedly the main reason magnetic mattress pads are of such benefit in relieving these conditions.<br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Several double blind clinical studies have shown that properly designed magnetic mattress pads are effective in relieving chronic pain and improving quality of sleep, and that pain relief continued to improve over time.<br /></div></div>Chintyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280681068259293455noreply@blogger.com0
