The Right Bed Frame Support For Your New Mattress Set

You've spent weeks shopping for just the right mattress set at just the right price, and you have finally found the one that is not too firm, not too soft, but just right. That's great news, Goldilocks! Now, it is time to shift your attention to what is under your bed and examine your bed frame.  

King Firm Mattress

Often the excitement of getting a new mattress set overshadows the reality that your new mattress requires proper support. You will enjoy a longer comfort life on your new mattress if you make sure it has the right support.
 
How can you be sure that your new mattress set has the right support? 
If your bed frame is metal and it is over 10 years old, make sure there is no squeaking or rattling when you roll over on the bed. Squeaking and rattling may indicate that your bed frame has weakened over time. It is probably a good idea to replace your bed frame if this is the case. Sometimes, mattress stores will give you a free bed frame with your purchase of a mattress set. Usually, this is the cheapest, least supportive bed frame available. You're better off asking for an upgraded deluxe model bed frame and paying for it. These last longer and are more supportive than the "free" ones most stores offer. 
 
If you have a wooden bed frame with wooden slats, make sure the slats are not bowing in the middle. Also, wooden slats are not enough for queen and king size bedding; you need at least one leg to the floor for queen size and two legs for king size. You can make a leg by having a piece of wood cut to the correct length at your local hardware store. Many companies offer metal center support slats that are far superior to wood slats. For the best possible support, choose a metal support designed for use with wood beds.
 
Following are some guidelines to follow for ensuring the proper support for your new mattress set: You need at least one rigid center support bar with one leg to the floor for queen size bedding and at least two rigid center support bars with legs to the floor for king size.   Wood center support slats should be at least 3/4 inch plywood.  If yours are not at least 3/4 inch plywood, consider a metal bed slat system like a Strong Arm, Bed Beam, or Bed Bridge support system.  Twin and full size beds do not usually require additional center supports, but with the extra heavy weight of today's bedding, it sure wouldn't hurt to add a center support bar. Refer to your mattress manufacturer's warranty card for detailed information about what support is required.

How to Locate a Leak in an Air Mattress

Air mattresses not only provide comfort but also convenience and versatility. This mattress will allow you to tweak its settings so you can find your desired comfort level.

King Firm Mattress

However, this type of mattress is prone to leaks. If it is not made from durable stuffs, a sharp object can puncture the mattress. Also, if you over inflate the mattress, the seams may give out and burst.

King Firm Mattress

If you notice your mattress losing air even though you just inflated it, there might be a leaky part. Here is how you can check:

Step 1: Place the mattress in a bright, quiet room. This is so you can see where the leak is and you can hear the hissing sound coming from the air escaping.

Step 2: Connect the pump device to the valve of the mattress and then inflate it. Fill it until the mattress is firm enough. Detach the pump and then seal the valve.

Step 3: Listen to hissing sounds. Check the seams first if there are any bursting seams that need to be mended. If you hear weird noises, you should check it immediately. If you cannot find the source of the leak, get a flimsy piece of tissue paper and run it on the surface of the mattress slowly. If something disturbs the tissue, then that could be the leaky part.

Step 4: If your mattress is submersible in water, you should inflate it and immerse it in water. Look for bubbles escaping and this is the leaky part. However, you should take it out immediately to prevent water from coming inside.

Step 5: Most air mattresses come with a mending kit. You should fix the leaky part. You can also use adhesive, glue or seal to fill up the holes. Once you have done so, test the mattress again for any sign of leaking.

Step 6: Now get a new mattress cover or topper. This should protect the mattress from future damages. While this mattress is cheaper than the others, you should still consider keeping it in top functioning so you can benefit from its versatility and convenience for a longer time.

If you find your air bed always flat the morning your wake up, it may be caused by a leak. So find out where the leak is and mend it as soon as possible. Your comfort and your body support as you sleep depends on the firmness of this mattress.

Best Pillow Top Mattress Choices For Overweight People

There is more to pillow tops than meets the eye. Many people do not employ the use of pillow tops which is why their sleep experience is not complete. Overweight people, especially, should purchase this mattress topper as it can help distribute their weight evenly.

King Firm Mattress

Pillow tops also improves the comfort level of the primary mattress. On top of that, it serves as a protection against wears and tears to prevent mattress sagging.

King Firm Mattress

It is also interesting to know that you can significantly improve the appearance and the functions of your old beat-up mattress just by getting a new pillow top. If you do not have the budget yet for a new mattress, a mattress topper is a cheap investment. It usually does not cost more than 0.

When you are looking for a pillow top that can accommodate your weight, make sure you consider the following things:

Latex or Visco Elastic Memory Foam

This is the best time to take advantage of the back ache-free technology provided by both latex and visco elastic memory foam. These mattresses can retail for as low as 00. But you can get the pillow top in as cheap as 0-and the comfort is closely the same.

Most people even say the comfort that a pillow top integrated with latex and visco elastic technology is just as god as a primary mattress with the same technologies. A visco elastic topper is firmer compared to latex but its resiliency is commendable. This is something that can accommodate heavier weights.

It may seem too firm at first but once it has adjusted to your body temperature, it conforms well and protects the crucial areas of your body. It is a mattress with a brain.

A latex mattress has a bouncier feel to it so it is preferred by many people. Some reviews say that this type of mattress helps them overcome the symptoms of GERD or heartburn. This is because it elevates your upper body considerably. This should be beneficial to overweight people so they can breathe properly and zone out easily.

A Thicker Pillow top

You might want to check out pillow tops that are significantly thicker. This improves the thickness of the whole bed so you can easily get in and out of it.

Most of the latex toppers today are thicker. You can choose from the 4-inch ones or the 6-inch toppers. Having a thicker pillow top enhances the comfort you will feel.

When scouring for an ideal mattress topper, just keep the above-mentioned features in mind and you can really find the one that you are looking for.

How Do You Choose a Good Quality Mattress?

A mattress is one of the most important pieces of furniture you will ever buy and it is often chosen without much thought. In reality we ought to be putting a lot more time and effort into choosing the right mattress to make sure we don't end up with a case of bad back problems. A good mattress should last us about 10 years and sometimes they can last us even longer. So you know once your mattress starts to feel uncomfortable after just a couple of years then you chose the wrong mattress.

King Firm Mattress

The first thing you want to look for when choosing the right mattress is the size. Regardless if you are married or not you always want to get the biggest mattress you can. Most sleepers move around numerous times a night so you want to be able to feel comfortable at night and not confined in a small space. If you are a taller person then make sure you get a mattress that fits your height. No matter how big a bed looks you want to make sure that you try it out in the store rather than waiting until you have already purchased it.

King Firm Mattress

Another factor you want to strongly consider when purchasing a mattress is the firmness. A lot of people like to buy soft, fluffy mattresses but what they don't realize is that their backs will be begging to see a chiropractor after a couple of months or years. If a bed is too soft then it will not support your back correctly and it will most likely start to cave in and become saggy rapidly. Of course you don't want a bed that is too stiff or else you will wake up sore and unhappy. You need to find a nice firm bed that is not too soft and not too stiff. You can either choose to have a foam mattress, which is a bed with no springs, an innerspring mattress, which consists of steel coils supported by insulation and padding, or a water bed that is usually a hit or miss with most customers.

Once you have chosen the right mattress for you the next and final step is to buy the right pillow. A good pillow will support you in all the right places. Just like your mattress you never want to get a pillow that is too soft or else you will most likely end up with neck problems. You want to have a pillow that is a good median point between soft and firm. Make sure that you also try out your pillow before you buy it because everyone has a different preference when it comes to being comfortable.

Now that you got the right mattress and pillow that suits your needs you are ready to enjoy a good night's rest. If you take the extra time to really think about the quality of your mattress and pillow it will end up saving you lots of stress and money in the future.

What Is the Difference Between Excellence and Perfection?

Perfection is the desire to get results without any fault or defect, while excellence is a desire for high quality end products or service as a way of exhibiting first-class quality.

King Firm Mattress

But you will agree with me that there is nothing like being perfect, so do not waste your time striving for perfection, other wise you will get no where. Strive for excellence, the more mistakes you make the more excellent you become and the more successful.

King Firm Mattress

For example, I have a friend who has a diploma in website developing and software development from a respected institute in my country, I my self I have never attended a website designing class, in fact my level of education is Level 6 [ Secondary 6 ], I stopped here because I felt I had enough to get rich. This friend of mine holds a nice job with an IT company but his income is very low, but his really smatter than me in terms of IT and he always strives for perfection, but the time he spends on being perfect at his work place earns him the same paycheck at the end of the month. He only knows one Job because his only perfect in that job, so to change to another niche it will mean that he has to be perfect which takes time.

Now comes excellence, I created my first website in 2008 using Microsoft Word, this same friend of mine gave me a full package of Dreamweaver, I learnt this program with in one week because I was looking for excellence not perfection, with time I started creating nice looking websites e.g YOSAKI.COM, and I decided to start a website designing firm at home creating simple HTML website for 0 including hosting. But each month I can make between 00 - 50 which is very okay, my clients market my services and I make more money, and get better with time.

Compare: 

If you compare me with my friend who has a nice job, quality education, perfect work but his paycheck never changes and me who tries out any thing until I'm excellent who is better, That is your question to answer.

Lesson:

This post explains why most educated people are never the richest people, because they are trained to be perfect, never to make mistakes. They base their success on marks [90%] perfect students. They fear making mistakes and trying aging to become excellent.

Never stop trying until you're excellent in your niche.

Nice time

How to Buy the Best Memory Foam Mattress

Prices of mattresses

King Firm Mattress

Mattresses can cost up to £3000, depending on where you buy them, with the average cost being around £800. Online manufacturers are often considerably cheaper for various reasons but mainly because they have fewer overheads to pay such as not having to rent a store or employ as many staff as stores do. Try before you buy If you buy your mattress from a store, ensure that you try it by laying on it for about ten minutes; a good mattress store shouldn't mind you doing this. Do NOT let sales assistants influence you, only YOU know what is comfortable for you! If you are shopping for a bed for two make sure you both try before you buy.

King Firm Mattress

If you buy online, ensure that they offer a suitable time period in which you may return the mattress if it is unsuitable for your needs. A good online retailer will offer a 14 day money back guarantee and will give you a FULL refund if you wish to send back your mattress within this time. They should also pay the return postage, unless they state otherwise prior to you making your initial purchase, but keep in mind a good retailer will not expect you to pay postage. Testing The Mattress The mattress should feel firm and not saggy. DON'T shop for mattresses when you're tired because they will all feel great! If you're buying a memory foam mattress, relax in one position, and then move into another. Was it easy enough for you to move? The majority of people do not struggle to move on a memory foam mattress but there are a minority of people that do so make sure whatever mattress you buy feels right for you! Once you have your mattress, make sure that, if you put it on a slatted base, the slats are no more than 6cm wide or more than 4cm apart. This prevents the mattress sagging through between the slats. If the bed base is not suitable most companies will not swap your mattress under warranty.

Mattresses and Bed Bases

Manufacturers encourage you to buy a mattress and bed base together. If you have had your base for many years it may be worth buying a new one when buying a new mattress as you don't want to spend your money only for the bed base to not fully support your mattress! If you buy the mattress and base separately, or decide to keep your old base, measure carefully to make sure they're the same size. Dimensions can vary, if only slightly, so don't rely on a new double mattress being exactly the same size as your old one.

Roll up Mattresses

Many online retailers as well as high street stores send out mattresses rolled and vacuum packed. This is a great innovation as it saves space (if taking your mattress home in your car), if buying online rolled mattresses will be cheaper to post as they have a lower volumetric weight which saves you money on postage! It will take a few hours for the mattress to fully expand when opened so allow the mattress time to do this before going to bed.

Mattress Warranties

Retailers should offer a warranty on the mattress. The longer the warranty the better. Five years is a suitable warranty length. Be careful of places that offer longer than this; it has been known that companies offer ten years warranty only to change their company name later so they cannot be found again when a warranty is needed. Also ensure that if you should ever need a warranty replacement that the company offers this with no extra costs; you should NOT have to pay any costs for a warranty mattress, even if you are replacing your mattress just days before the end of the warranty. Know who you are buying from Make sure you do your research on the company you are buying from, especially if buying online. Check customer reviews and independent reports. You don't want to buy from a company just because they are cheaper if their service isn't reliable. There are so many people online selling mattresses, especially memory foam mattresses so make sure you buy from a company that can be trusted. Even if you do not buy from the company that this article was written by please ensure that you get a good quality product from a company that is reliable, helpful and that isn't just selling to make a profit.

Upholstery Tools

Happily upholstery doesn't require a lot of tools.
This tool list is what you'll most need:

King Firm Mattress

Hammers:

King Firm Mattress

The most important tool is the upholsterer's hammer. Upholstery hammers are specially made for this specific craft.

There are three types, the favourite one

(a) Ringed shaft upholsterers hammer

(b) Head of cabriole

(c) Pear shaped shaft - Being that with the round ringed shaft.

This is the better designed and balanced hammer and has a hardened steel tipped driving face. Another type has a pear-shaped handle and a more square-cut steel head. Both these are known as tack hammers.

The remaining pattern is called a `cabriole' hammer, the main difference being a much smaller driving surface-about a quarter of an inch in diameter, whereas the average tack hammer is about five-eighths of an inch. The `cabriole' is used mainly for 'show-wood' furniture where great care is needed when tacking, not to bruise or damage the surrounding woodwork.

Hence the reason for the small head of the hammer. It is also used for `gimping', the fixing of a finished braid or gimp by the use of gimp pins.

Cutting Tools:

These consist of scissors and knives, the former should be about nine or ten inches in length and of good quality. A first-class pair of scissors will last an upholsterer all his working life.

Here again we have a choice of design. One type has a square end finish to one of its blades and the other type has a pointed end to both blades. The pointed end scissors are particularly useful when cutting loose covers. A knife is an essential tool for `trimming off' after the cover has been tacked on-particularly for hide and leather-cloths.

The knife needs to have a good sharp edge.

Web Strainers:

The thing that puzzles nearly every amateur upholsterer is how to stretch the webbing tight. This is done by a web strainer or stretcher.

There are one or two different types of these. All are made of hardwood, the simplest being a piece of wood with a groove at one end which fits over the edge of the frame being webbed.

The webbing is brought over the top and under the grooved end which is placed against the frame. With a firm handgrip it is levered downwards until the required tautness is reached. Another version, mostly used in America, is the one that has four or five spikes in the levering end.

This does away with having to pass the webbing under the grooved end, but it can damage and weaken the webbing. The type of strainer that has the slot in the main body of the wood and a piece of dowelling or rod attached is one of the most popular. With the handle upright the webbing is passed double through the slot to form a loop.

Through this loop is placed the dowelling or rod to hold it and the strain is applied in the same way. The last version is known as the lever-type strainer. This is a quick and easy method of web stretching.

The webbing is passed over the lever and allowed to hang, the leverage is then taken up in the same way with the rebated end against the frame side and a downward pressure. Another form of stretcher is the web or hide pincers.

This tool, made like pincers, has wide serrated jaws and is useful for straining short ends of webbing or hides.

Ripping-Out Tools:

These consist of an upholsterer's ripping chisel and a wooden mallet and are used to prepare the frame for a repair. The chisel end is placed against the tack and given one or two blows to remove; always hit with the grain of the wood, otherwise you may crack or chip the woodwork.

A `wood rasp' is for rounding off corners of the frame where an `edge' has to be tacked.
Screwdrivers, pincers, and a bradawl complete the general tool layout.

Upholsterers' Needles and Stitching Tools:

These are essential requirements. They consist of mattress or stitching needles and are from 8 to 16 in. in length. They have double-pointed ends with an eye about an inch from one end and are round in section. An exception is the one that is shaped triangularly for about a third of its length.

This is called a bayonet point. It is most useful for stitching built-up stuffed edges as the bayonet point is stout enough to use as a regulator-a `regulator' being the tool used for trimming or regulating the stuffing to the required place beneath its hessian covering.

It is an extra-thick needle-like tool with a point at one end and the other ends played out flat to help leverage against the side of the palm when using it. Another tool for adjusting stuffing is the stuffing iron. This is a metal tool with a fork-like end and mainly used in America. A `packing' or `spring' needle and a half-circular needle will complete the stitching tools, a further addition being three or four dozen steel skewers.

These are used to hold hessian or covers in position until they are stitched. A linen tack bag with three or four sections is required to hold the different sizes of tacks, and an upholsterer's apron which has a capacious front pocket.

This pocket is invaluable to the `ragtacker'. Tacks are held in the mouth and it is quite a shock when one first sees a handful of tin tacks thrown into the mouth.

They are brought to the lips by teeth and tongue and taken by the thumb and forefinger of the hammer hand, still holding the hammer. Experience has proved that this is the fastest and most suitable method.

The advent of the hammer with the magnetic head prompted some to alter their technique by placing the hammer head to the lips and carrying the tack to the job direct.

The open sprung variety are normally made in an all in all different manner to the pocket sprung ones and these too use an assortment of materials which can make the product firm or soft as is required by the owner. In so far as the foam variety is concerned these too can be made from cheap or expensive foam that will suit the contours of your body and the feel of the product depends to a great extent on the kind of foam being used.

Mattress Toppers - How to Restore a Mattress

If you have a bed or mattress that has lumps, hard spots or areas where the springs have failed, then your only solution is a replacement mattress.

King Firm Mattress

However, if you have a mattress that feels a bit too firm, or lacks the cushiony sinking quality that you like, a mattress topper may be the solution - and it is a lot cheaper than a replacement bed.

King Firm Mattress

What is a mattress topper

Simply put, a topper is an extra layer of cushioning and padding that you lay (or strap) on top of the existing mattress beneath the bedding sheet. This has the effect of adding an additional top level of padding to an existing mattress and it allows you to gain some extra softness, or to benefit from a material like memory foam.

Most toppers will have a protective layer which means that they will double as a mattress protector. They can look like a large spongy mat, or they can be quilted. It all depends upon the type of material used to fill them.

Different types of topper

There are two different reasons for wanting a topper. One is to get the extra softness and padding, however the other is to turn a spring based mattress into a composite mattress, i.e. a mattress that utilizes two different types of construction for maximum advantage.

In the latter case, materials like visco elastic memory foam and Latex can be used to give a bed the ability to mould itself around the person sleeping on it. These materials have become very popular in recent years and many experts in the medical and orthopedic disciplines consider them to offer superior support to spring based beds. Additionally they have good hypoallergenic properties that make them ideal for allergy sufferers.

The options for mattress toppers do not stop with memory foam and Latex foam. There are many other filling materials from standard foams through to natural organic materials.

When it comes to organic topper fillers, duck and goose feathers and down are one of the most popular and, since many people have pillows filled with this material, it allows a consistent filler to be used on all of the bedding surfaces that contact the body.

Another popular filling material for a mattress topper is organic wool. Organic wool has been increasing in its bedding applications and its washable quality gives it an advantage over many of its synthetic rivals.

The appearance of any given topper is determined by the filler and the quality of the covering material. Quilted toppers invariably have feathers and down or organic wool in them whilst the flat "mat like" toppers tend to be filled with a foam like Latex or memory foam. It is possible to get quilted mattress toppers filled with foam cuttings that offer the feel of foam with a quilted appearance.

Mattress Reviews - Which is the Best Firm Mattress Around?

Firm mattresses have been touted as the ideal mattress to use if you are suffering from back pains. The firmness of a mattress supports the weight of a person and helps get rid of pressure points. It will then lead to a very comfortable sleep.

King Firm Mattress

However, this type of mattress is not that absolute. Some find it uncomfortable while others find it a manna from heaven. That is more likely due to the fact that comfort is relative. Also, not all companies produce the same firm mattress.

King Firm Mattress

Sealy, Simmons and Serta are just three of those that have joined the firm beds bandwagon. They used to be mattress brands creating spring-riddled mattresses but they have currently started a trend in the more back-friendly mattresses.

They may be the best but not all people will agree to that because like what I mentioned earlier, comfort is relative. It depends on the body type and the sleep preferences of a person.

When looking for a firm bed offered by the visco elastic memory foam technology, you should not just look at the brand. Just because it is Simmons, Sealy or Serta does not mean it is the right one for you.

Know how well it is supposed to conform to your body. These companies usually produce memory foams that have density of more than 5 pounds. That alone should clue you up that they are firm beds.

However, you should also know how good the manufacturing procedures are. The key to a good memory foam is the manufacturing process. If the temperature is not right when it was under manufacturing process, then the foam is not as good as you would like it to be.

In fairness to these three brands, they are known to have exceptional manufacturing standards. Sealy, especially, is known for their durable mattresses that can withstand wears and tears.

Also, it is important to note that firmer mattresses are more expensive. The technology used in this is a meticulous one that involves a lot of process making it more costly. If you decide to get this type of mattress, make sure it has a good warranty. Warranty claims will assure you that you can still get your money's worth from the mattress should you find it faulty.

So you see, it is not just about choosing between Sealy, Serta and Simmons. It is also about making certain it is the right mattress for your comfort needs. So before choosing between these brands, figure out what you want too see and feel in a mattress first.
