How to Choose a Mattress

Is it time to change out your mattress? Is your old one lumpy and saggy? Hopefully a few tips on how to choose a mattress will help you get a better night’s sleep. Bedding choices seem endless and overwhelming. They don’t have to be. You just need to keep a few things in mind.

Type of Mattresses: The three largest selling types of mattresses available today are coil and spring, waterbed, and memory foam.

Coil and Spring mattresses are the most common variety. This is the traditional bed. When looking for a coil and spring mattress one of the key indicators of quality is how many coils the bed has. The larger a number of coils, the firmer, and better quality the mattress. There are plenty of levels of firmness from hard as a board to a light, airy pillow top. What matters is what’s the most comfortable for you!

Waterbeds are another affordable option. Once again there are plenty of varieties from wave less to full wave. This determines how much motion the water in the bed will have. If you don’t feel like sloshing around choose a waterbed with a waveless bladder. Waterbeds require a bit more care than a coil and spring or memory foam mattress. They are also much heavier, be sure the floor can support the weight before purchasing one. Once they are in position you are unable to move them  without emptying them if you want to rearrange the room. However, I have one and find it very comfortable.

Memory Foam mattresses are one of the more expensive options but as the saying goes you get what you pay for. Memory foam mattresses use close cell foam that molds to your body, perfectly fitting your particular body type.

Whatever you choose for a mattress just remember it comes down to one simple concept, what is the most comfortable for you? These few tips on how to choose a mattress can help you narrow down your options but only you know what’s the most comfortable!

sunbeam-dynasty-retreat-quilted-fleece-pattern-heated-blanketAn electric blanket is a great way to save on heating costs during those cold winter nights. Why heat the entire house when an affordable electric blanket can keep you toasty warm instead? Here are some of the things to consider when buying an electric blanket.

Safety: Never buy a blanket that doesn’t have an Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tag. This tag means the blanket has passed rigorous testing and is safe for consumer use. It will be fire retardant as well as resistant to electrical shock. Your safety is the most important thing

Design: The type of blanket you choose is solely up to you. They come in all shapes and sizes with a myriad of features. If you have back problems, a mattress pad type might be just right for you. These go under the sheets and keep the bed itself warm. Another great way to save energy is to get an electric blanket that has an auto shut off feature. Once you drift off to sleep it turns itself off saving even more on energy costs. Another great feature is temperature control. Better model electric blankets will have a thermostat that allows you to control just how toasty you want to be.

Material: Electric blankets can be made of any material. If you want to stay super warm then wool is the right choice for you. If you just need something to take the chill off, look for cotton or flannel. An electric blanket can be found to match any bedroom décor

These are just a few things to consider when purchasing your new electric blanket. Whatever your choice you’ll be snuggled up warm and cozy on those long winter nights, and saving money on heating bills at the same time.
