Let’s face it, we spend an average of 6-8 hrs per day in bed. Why shouldn’t it be comfortable? With up to 1/3 of our time spent in one room, that room should be the ultimate in comfort in order to wake up refreshed and ready for a new day.

MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES AND THEIR ACCESSORIES

Of course we all want the most comfortable bed in the world, but not everyone can spend thousands of dollars to get one. There is a great alternative out there for the rest of us. It doesn’t last forever, but it does last a long time and it very comfy. Even if you only have a japanese platform bed you can still use this type of mattress. Memory foam is a material made from polyurethane and other chemical products that creates special dense and resilient foam. Although initially created for use in space, visco-elastic polyurethane foam has been primarily used in the medical industries and is now a popular mattress, topper and pillow material for home use. A lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and will mould more quickly to the shape of the body. The example often used to demonstrate its properties is that a hand pressed into the foam and then removed will leave a clear impression in the foam.

There are many memory foam products including memory foam pillows among others. They are available in a wide range of retail stores such as Sears and Macys, even Sams Club.

GOOSE DOWN COMFORTERS

This product is more important in the winter months, whereas the memory foam is useful year round. Goose down comforters are the ultimate in luxury. Previously only the wealthy could afford to own one, but recently technology improvements have made them a lot cheaper.

Down comforters are often categorized by fill power, or fluffiness, and weight (total ounces). Generally speaking, the higher the fill power and weight, the higher quality it is. Feather comforters are often firmer and heavier than down filled and are usually more economical. You can make truly synthetic fill which is even cheaper. Don’t forget about the outside of the comforter. Do you want it to be ultra soft or just acceptable? The higher the thread count the softer it will feel. Our advice is to pick one with a lower thread count such as 200 and then cover it with a washable cover.
