Many consumers worry about buying a memory foam bed. Why? These consumers are worried about the bed being compressed. In order to ship memory foam, the mattress has to be compressed. The key is to buy the right memory foam mattress from the right retailer. If you do this, your memory foam mattress will be compressed temporarily (just long enough to ship it) instead of being compressed for months on end.

Large, nationwide retailers carry memory foam beds, pillows and toppers that have been imported from China. These products stay compressed for months. Often times, these products have been compressed from the time they are manufactured until the time a consumer buys it. These products have been compressed for way too long and have probably lost all of their memory foam properties.

When memory foam has been compressed too long, it becomes damaged. Instead of uncompressing, these products stay compressed long after you’ve unwrapped them. Memory foam should not be compressed for any longer than 2-3 months. If it is compressed longer than this time frame, it has a greater chance of becoming damaged. Memory foam products that sit on the shelf for months lose its ability to bounce back, its ability to conform to your body, its ability to reduce pressure points, and its functionality altogether.

If you want to enjoy the many benefits of memory foam, you need to buy it from a specialty mattress retailer. These retailers carry the American-made memory foam. Not only is American memory foam a much higher quality, but it isn’t compressed until it is ready to be shipped. You can be sure that your memory foam stays fresh when you purchase an American-made memory foam product. In short, the problem isn’t that the memory foam is compressed, it is because the memory foam has been compressed for too long. Two to three months is the magic number to know if your memory foam product has been packaged for too long.

Retired people and couples sometimes spend all of their time traveling in an RV or travel trailer. These people are considered ‘full time RV’ers.’ An RV is a usually described as a vehicle that doubles as a temporary travel home. An RV is also sometimes called a motor home.

See what others are saying about Rocky Mountain Mattress:

You recently shipped me a topper for our queen size home mattress that was reported to be cooler due to the cellular construction. It has more than met our expectations and my wife is ecstatic, as she now sleeps in cooler comfort. In addition, you made a short queen for our Airstream 25 foot trailer that has similarly returned sleep to a child-like blissful state. I am amazed by your craftsmanship and timely delivery. Count me as a super satisfied customer that would and have already recommended you to others.

Thanks,

RVs are perfect for short-time leisure. RVs make the perfect home-away-from-home on vacations, camping or even full-time living. At the least, an RV contains a bed, a table, a place for food-preparation and places for storage. Larger and more luxurious RVs have full bathrooms, refrigerators, living area, a master bedroom, etc. The most luxurious RVs can even have Internet access, satellite TV, awnings, etc. RVs can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $1,500,000 or more.

A travel trailer is often used for the same purposes but are a bit different. A travel trailer is simply a trailer that is pulled behind a vehicle. Travel trailers provide a place to sleep and can be used as a temporary home. Travel trailers that are used for full-time use are larger than those that are used for summer vacationing or shorter trips. Large travel trailers can provide all of the comforts of a luxury condominium. Many travel trailers are equipped with beds, a bathroom, a kitchen area, storage, a living area, etc.

What is the most important component for an RV or travel trailer to have if used full-time? A mattress. It is so important to have good quality mattresses in your RV or travel trailer, especially if you plan on living there. RVs and travel trailers often come with cheap mattresses.

Don’t you want to know the secret to improve your quality of sleep? By improving the quality of sleep you get each night, you can increase your level of productivity. As your productivity increases, your quality of life will also increase. It’s simple. Just follow these five easy tips.

1. Pay it out. Don’t shortchange your body when it comes to sleep. For every 30 minutes of sleep that you lose, your sleep debt increases. As you accumulate more sleep debt, you will begin to see and feel the short term and long term effects. Not getting enough sleep affects your mood, your heath and your overall performance. The average person needs about 8 hours of sleep every night. The ideal amount is anywhere from 7.5 hours to 8.5 hours. It is important to get the same amount of sleep every night so that your body can get acclimated to a normal schedule.

2. Evaluation time. Do you remember when you had to fill out performance evaluations for your professors when you were still in school? Well, it’s time to go back to the performance evaluation basics. Except, this time you won’t be evaluating your professors…you’ll be evaluating your performance. Also, evaluate the performance of your mattress. Although physical signs may not be evident, think about how it affects the quality of sleep that you get. Is it as comfortable as when you bought it? Does it still support your entire body? The age of your mattress directly affects the quality of sleep you get.

3. The bedroom. Your bedroom should be used for certain things, and certain things only. Keep this room uncluttered and free of “knick-knacks.” Don’t use your bedroom for other purposes like folding the laundry, a second office, etc. In order to provide the ideal atmosphere for sleeping, your bedroom should be a warm, inviting and relaxing space.

4. No more caffeine. Studies show that caffeine directly interferes with “getting a restful night’s sleep and waking refreshed in the morning.” As you begin getting ready for bed, stay away from anything with caffeine in it. This includes chocolate, tea, coffee and soft drinks.

5. Invest. One of the most important investments you will ever make will be your mattress. The average person spends approximately 1/3 of his/her lifetime asleep. Don’t scrimp when it comes to a good quality mattress. Choose a mattress that is completely comfortable and supportive for your individual body. Spending more money on a good mattress will provide you with health, happiness and productivity.

Getting a good night’s sleep isn’t hard anymore. Simply follow these easy tips to improve your sleep and your productivity.

Latex mattresses have been around for quite some time. However, these mattresses are gaining popularity among the general public. Top quality latex mattresses are more comfortable and longer-lasting than traditional mattresses. There are two kinds of latex mattresses: Talalay mattresses and Dunlop mattresses. Let’s take a closer look at how Talalay mattresses are made.

Talalay latex mattresses use the Talalay process to manufacture and produce the latex. This process uses the finest materials and produces the finest latex.

The Talalay process is as follows:
1. Rubber is taken from the natural rubber tree.
2. Liquid rubber is then whipped so that it becomes a foam-material. It is then poured into a mold.
3. The mold is closed and rods are inserts through the foamed rubber.
4. A vacuum is placed on top of the mold. This vaccum removes all air bubbles and pockets. It also distributes the rubber (in its liquid form) evenly throughout the mold.
5. The rods are turned on; they contain CO2 which freezes the rubber. This step is critical because it locks in the consistency.
6. Next, heat is sent through the rods. Heat provides an even temperature and delivers a consistent latex core that does not contain air bubbles, air pockets or uneven firmness.

The Talalay process does not use any chemical fillers or extenders in its products. There are a few products that are added to the rubber to convert it from a liquid to a solid material. These products are: soap, ammonia, zinc oxide and sulfur. There is a very small amount of these products in Talalay latex mattress, so these mattresses are still considered natural. Plus, the ammonia evaporates out of the finished product. The soap and the zinc oxide are washed out.

There are two main forms of Talalay latex: Blended Talalay latex and Natural Talalay Latex. Blended Talalay latex products contain 30 percent natural rubber and 70 percent synthetic rubber. Natural Talalay latex products do not use any fillers. These products use 100 percent latex rubber from the rubber tree.

How long have you spent tossing and turning all night long? Sleep is probably one of the most important aspects for a long and fulfilling life. Without sleep, you can’t be productive or even useful. Too many people across the world sacrifice sleep for no reason at all.

A good bed can help you overcome sleepless nights. Those who have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep can often solve the problem by changing mattresses. Here’s how a good bed can help you overcome your sleepless nights.

1. Comfort. When was the last time you replaced your mattress? Have you been sleeping on the same mattress for more than 8 years? 10 years? 15 years? 20 years? If so, it is definitely time to replace your mattress. It is important to choose a mattress that is comfortable. Common sense tells us that a comfortable mattress equals a good night’s sleep and that an uncomfortable mattress equals a sleepless night. Choose a mattress that provides comfort to your individual body.

2. Support. All too often, people sleep on a mattress that does provide the correct quality of support. It is so important that your entire body is properly supported while you sleep. Much of the fatigue people feel when they wake up in the morning is attributed to incorrect support. Remember that everyone needs different support. Choose a mattress that will also keep your spine properly aligned. This is another important element for a good night’s sleep.

3. The right mattress. Do you use an innerspring mattress? Do you think that that is the only type of mattress out there? Well, think again. There are many kinds of mattresses. If you have been sleeping on an innerspring mattress your entire life and aren’t getting the rest you need, it is probably time to invest in another kind of mattress. You can choose from air mattresses, water beds, memory foam mattresses and latex foam mattresses. Each of these mattresses come with its own list of pros and cons. Customers seem to be more satisfied with the latex foam mattresses, but these are pricey. Carefully consider a new kind of mattress to overcome sleepless nights.

A good bed may be just what you need to overcome sleepless nights. Try these suggestions to make sure you choose the right bed and the right mattress. Kiss those sleepless nights goodbye.
