What am I talking about? I am talking about the Rocky Mountain Mattress folding bed, or custom mattress if you own an RV of course! The reason I am bringing this is up because I was talking with a friend of my neighbors last week who is going camping this weekend, and decided to finally order a custom mattress for his RV from us because he was sick and tired of his (so called) mattress in his RV.

As he was sharing with me how awful the “pad of cheap foam” (hes not even giving it the credit of being called a mattress) was in his RV, and how he has the hardest time sleeping. Its funny to me to think about all the prep that goes into such a fun weekend - all the food, the games, the fishing, the relaxing and then there is the sleeping part which is the most important part of the trip that people never prepare for.

If you are planning many fun outings this summer with your RV, trailer, camper or tent even then make sure you are thinking about the good nights sleep you will need to be prepared for all the hiking, fishing and fun outdoor activities you will be doing. Rocky Mountain Mattress offers product that will be the perfect solution for any need you may have when it comes to sleeping in the outdoors.

I have taken many good naps on the Rocky Mountain Mattress folding bed and let me tell you; It is the most comfortable “portable” mattress I have ever slept on, and I promise you that it will be the most comfortable “portable mattress” you will ever sleep on too. I have even chosen it over regular spring mattresses when I have visited family or friends at their houses, or during vacations.

Here at Rocky Mountain Mattress, we are committed to providing you with the best possible experience when buying a mattress. I recently found a quote that I thought was appropriate to our mantra.

“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.”
-Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com Founder)

The “memory foam mattress” industry is extremely competitive, especially on the web. Because of this we have tried to create the reputation of great customer service, the highest quality product, and competitive prices so that our customers will keep coming back.

I found it ironic that the most appropriate quote comes from the founder of the most successful web marketplace in the history of the internet. Reputation is an absolute necessity online. Because it is all you have. If you walk into a mattress store (or any other for that matter), you can touch the product, speak to someone for help, and compare products. And purchasing anything on the web is a drastically different experience. That experience is based on trust. Trust that the site is going to do what they promised. Trust that the product is going to be quality, trust that if something goes wrong, the company will stand behind their name and deliver.

That is why we at Rocky Mountain Mattress are determined to earn your trust and become your only source for the best in Memory Foam Mattresses.

The 8 lb Venus Memory Foam:

The 5 lb Sensus Memory Foam:

With memory foam beds from Rocky Mountain Mattress, there are no springs. The foam absorbs all the shock your body places on it. This gives you the best possible night’s sleep, and prevents you from hitting your head on any ceilings!!!

Little bits of heaven, thats what.

But seriously, exactly what is memory foam?

Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Depending on the chemicals used and its overall density, it is firmer in cool temperatures and softer when warm. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat which allows it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes.

What makes it so much better than a normal mattress?

Memory Foam Mattresses provide much more natural support for your body as you sleep. They last longer than normal mattresses. They allow you to rest comfortably and wake up without any aches or pains.

Who invented memory foam?

Memory foam was originally developed by NASA to decrease the very high pressure caused by the extreme g-force occurring during the take-off of the space shuttle. It was never used in the space program but was subsequently used medically, for example by patients who used to lie in bed on hard or very firm mattresses for long periods of time without regularly moving such as being bed-bound after a paralyzing stroke. The pressure over some of their bony regions decreased or stopped the blood flow to the region causing horrific pressure sores and/or gangrene. Memory foam mattresses helped hugely to decrease such events.

Why is a Memory Foam Mattress so much heavier than a normal one?

A memory foam mattress is usually denser than an ordinary foam mattress. This makes it more supportive – but also heavier. It is often seen as a good compromise between the comfort of a soft mattress and the supportiveness of a firm one.

May 2, 2008 - On April 28, 2008 one of the Rocky Mountain Mattress sales managers was asked a fairly simple question “what is the best way to dispose of an old mattress?” Normally, he would have responded to this question by saying something like “Not sure there is a ‘best way’� maybe your city municipality can come pick it up for you?” However, his response required a little more thought as the present question had been prefaced with this rhetorical question “RMM is really big into being earth conscious, right?”

This customer’s questions have spawned a Rocky Mountain Mattress quest to determine the most earth-friendly ways to dispose of an old mattress. RMM would like to share with the general public a list of helpful suggestions for getting rid of an old bed.

The suggestions are listed in no particular order:
1. Use a professional junk removal service that recycles. Today there are many reasonably priced companies that will come to your house and pick up “junk”. The best part is many of these companies work exceedingly hard to either donate or recycle the “junk” that they pick up.

*donates or recycles 60% of the junk they pick up.

2. Recycle. Many areas of the United States have local recycling programs. Contact your local municipality to find out if there is a recycling program available in your area.

3. Sell. While it is not always recommended to “pass-on” old beds there is a market for second hand products.

4. Donate: As previously stated it is not always recommended to donate an old mattress and many charities will not accept used mattresses for health reasons. However, this is a great way to get rid of your “old junk”. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Contact your local charities.

Ever slept over at a friends house, stayed with a relative, or just been forced to sleep on a “blow up mattress”? If so, you know the perils of sleeping on one of these “comfortable” mattresses. And, you have likely awoken to all manner of stiffness, cramping, or possible injury.

To avoid these terrible fates, a restful and comfortable night’s sleep on a Tri-Fold Memory Foam Folding Bed is in order. Here are 10 reasons you want to go with the cloud-softness and comfort of the Tri-Fold Memory Foam Folding Bed over the unreliably awkward and possibly dangerous air mattress.

1. Your air mattress may pop. Air mattresses are unreliable, and easily punctured by many different household objects. If this happens while you’re sleeping on the mattress, you won’t soon forget or forgive the incident.
2. You can’t get comfortable on an air mattress. Because they are filled with air. Air mattresses move based on your body and anyone you’re sleeping next to. This means if your partner rolls over, you may roll off. Tossing and turning can become a dangerous ordeal.
3. You don’t get the necessary support your body needs. Because you’re sleeping on an uneven bed of air. The air doesn’t adjust for back support, neck support, or any special needs you may have.
4. Air mattresses need air pumps. Or strong lungs. One of those options costs money and can break, the other can lead to unconsciousness. Either way, you’re paying too high a price to get a poor nights sleep.
5. Memory Foam Mattresses provide support. You don’t need to worry about bumping your partner off the bed with a wrong move, each of you will get a sound night’s sleep on your folding beds.
6. Memory Foam is temperature sensitive. At higher temperatures (your body heat temperature) memory foam softens as it is supporting you.
7. Guests Love Tri-Fold Memory Foam Mattresses. If you pull out the air pump and start blowing up the mattress for your guests, their smiles will be fake. Because they know they’re in for a poor nights sleep. But if you reach in the closet and come out with Tri-fold memory foam mattresses, their smiles will be as genuine as their sleep.
8. Memory Foam Folding Beds are easy to transport. Going camping? Why spend 40 minutes blowing up your air mattress and another hour letting your lungs recover? With the memory foam folding bed you simply remove the mattress from the car, and unfold it. Easy, right?
9. Memory Foam Folding Beds last longer. You go through a new air mattress every year, you buy one memory foam folding mattress and it lasts for at least 10 years, just under warranty.
10. You can receive free shipping on your Tri-Fold Memory Foam Mattress. So what are you waiting for??!? Buy a brand new portable mattress that provides comfort, support, and is vastly superior to your air mattress.

This review will focus on two memory foam mattress toppers produced by Foamex®: the award winning Sensus®, and the truly innovative “green” Aerus® foam.

According to many Foamex® retailers these are the top two selling memory foam mattress topper brands produced by Foamex®. Each foam offers unique selling points.

The memory foam mattress toppers similarities

Both Sensus® and Aerus® are produced by North America’s largest foam manufacturer, Foamex®. Both brands feature a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty. Both foams are manufactured using Foamex’s patented Variable Pressure Foaming (VPF) process.

The memory foam mattress toppers differences

Sensus® is a 5 lb density foam, which means that one cubic foot of its material will weight 5 lbs. While Aerus® has a 4 lb density. Aerus® is also a “softer” foam and carries and IFD (or firmness) rating of 12. While, its counter-part Sensus® has an IFD rating of 13.

Sensus® is a more established brand as evidenced by its “Best Overall” award for memory foam by the Wall Street Journal.

Aerus® happens to be one of the first truly environmentally-friendly “green” memory foams available to the consuming public. In fact, Foamex® introduced the re-manufactured product line this March at the 2008 ISPA Expo in Baltimore Maryland.

Aerus® is a “cooling memory foam” and features open-cell memory foam which prevents excess heat and dissipates moisture quickly. This revolutionary design circulates air up to eight times more efficiently than other similar memory foam mattress toppers.

About a month ago I purchased all natural latex pillows for both my wife and daughter because they kept talking about how badly they wanted to try them after seeing our “new green product line” here at Rocky Mountain Mattress. My wife already has some nice down pillows we purchased for her about a year ago, but really was captured by the look and feel of the all natural latex pillow. Here is a picture to get a better idea what the pillow looks like:

Since giving them the pillows, I have had rave reviews from both my daughter and wife about how good their neck feels, and how soundly they sleep, and how fast they feel the pillow helps them fall asleep. They both agree that it is the most comfortable pillow they have ever laid their heads on. Normally my wife has to pile up two pillows to keep her neck where she wants it during the night, but with the latex pillow, it keeps her neck in a comfortable position, and it never loses its shape!

I am excited to be able offer the all natural latex pillow on Rocky Mountain Mattress as its an “eco-friendly” product, and is a great addition to our “green” product line.
