A Look at Foam Mattresses
We've all been there. First, we spend a sleepless night, tossing and turning. Then we spend the next two days with body aches, sore from head to toe. The effects of a bad mattress can be serious.
Then we face the daunting prospect of shopping for a new mattress.
This task can be a bit intimidating. There are so many different prices, sizes, styles, and firmness to choose from. They come in drastically different materials, as well. Mattresses can be filled with air, water, fabric, feathers, springs or foam. One of the most popular -- especially for people suffering body pain -- is the foam mattress.
Foam mattresses are popular because of their body-contouring nature.
The foam literally reshapes to mold to the user's body. This is designed to strategically place pressure where needed, while relieving the strain on other points. It is believed that this relieves pressure from the neck, spine, and lower back, eliminating much of the soreness and pain associated with regular mattresses.
The foam mattress is not entirely without drawbacks, though. Some people complain about the body-contouring nature that it's famous for. If, for some reason, you are not happy with the newly molded shape, you cannot change it.
Some reports also say that the foam loses resiliency quickly. Others complain that the foam gets extremely hot, causing sweating and clamminess. Despite these complaints, many people do prefer foam mattresses.
If, after doing research, you decide to buy a foam mattress, they are available from most bedding stores. Some of the more popular foam mattresses are the Sealy Reflexion, the Tempur-Pedic, and the Isoform.
A-Bed offers a memory foam bed by Dormia. The Versailles by Dormia is offered for $447, including shipping.
Foam Order offers foam mattress pads.
These fit on top of your existing mattress to create a body-contouring surface. They start at $248 for a Queen sized 3-inch pad. Foam Order also offers a selection of foam mattresses..
The House That Became Part Of A Family (Part Three)
That October morning dawned bright and sunny, seemingly an omen of good things to come. It was moving day! We were actually moving into our "new" home. Since we were doing the job without professional help, friends had gathered and we began to load the furniture onto a rented trailer, one of the open air ones with slat sides. When the trailer was filled, we proceeded to load the remaining boxes, including canned goods and food from the refrigerator into waiting cars and began the caravan to our home for at least the next few years. We had decided this might be the ?starter' house that would allow us to build up equity so we could move to something a little nicer in maybe five or six years.
Somehow that idea got lost along the way over the ensuing years, and forty-five years later, we are still living in that starter house.As our friends helped unload and carry our furniture into the house, not one mentioned the horrible linoleum that was cracked, split and pealing off the kitchen...

Shopping for a Mattress? ...Get in the NOW!!!
It still amazes me to see that in almost every walk of life, consumers are looking for the latest and greatest on the market. Except when shopping for a mattress, it still seems that people are drawn to the ?same old same old' one mattress fits all coils and springs. Ouch! But that's not the big kicker; the big deal comes when you actually price these mattresses. To get a top quality coils and springs mattress you have to pay between $1500US -$3000US to get the comfort levels you want and then you are still really buying an expensive foundation with a memory foam pillow top, which is what is providing the comfort you feel. So, let's say you spend $2000US, you now own a 100lb wooden box filled with coils and springs and what sold you was the $200US pillow top.
So why not just take the time to really see what options are out there? You will find so many other choices that take advantage of our newest technology, are not only half the price but provide a much healthier environment...
