What Are The Differences Between Mattress Pads, Protectors, And Toppers

Mattress pads come in a number of fabrics and have a number of different purposes. Some are purchased for health reasons while others are bought for comfort only. They can add support to a soft bed or they can add opulence to a bed that is too firm. They can be made from memory foam to cradle the body during sleep and they can stretch the usability of a bed that is getting older.

Adding a topper will increase the depth of your bed but it does not indicate you need to go out and buy new linens. Many of the fitted sheets are specially made to accommodate pillow tops and have deep pockets. One of the most popular types of toppers is the memory foam style which adds support. They are less costly than a new bed. Latex foam is another option that is slightly more costly than memory foam and it is a natural product that is hypoallergenic. For a bit of a softer feel a feather bed is a good choice. For softness and temperature control wool is a nice option. To protect the bed, look for a mattress protector or encasement which will enclose the mattress and prevent stains, dust mites, mold, and bed bugs.

For people who suffer from arthritis a memory foam topper is a good choice. They minimize motion for those who toss and turn and allow for a better night's sleep. They offer anti-bacterial and hypoallergenic options with a cotton cover that is washable.

A bit more expensive but also a great option is a latex foam topper. This style is excellent for people with allergies as latex is naturally hypoallergenic. It is not quite as conforming to the shape of the back and neck as memory foam, but does conform and offer outstanding support. It breathes well and does not absorb body heat as it is a natural product. It resists dust mites, mold, bacteria and is hypoallergenic and anti-microbial. The rubber nature of latex makes them it durable and will last a long time. If one is allergic to latex this is not a good option.

For a softer bed the feather bed will offer cushioning and is made from the feathers and down of ducks and geese. They are not a good support option but will add a bit of cushion to a firm bed. The natural material breathes and keeps the body warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

Made from either lamb or alpaca, the wool topper is naturally resistant to dust mites and mold. They are meant to be soft and are not supportive. Hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial they are great at absorbing moisture and breathing. Machine washable and durable, a wool topper will last many years.

There are many styles of mattress pads, some are designed to protect a bed from stains and wear, while others offer an extra layer of comfort. The thicker ones can provide a bit of support but this is not their main function. They can be hypoallergenic and one can choose from different styles like egg crate, fitted, guarantee to fit, anchor and down. Some of the materials they are made from are polyester, wool, cotton and silk.

For health reasons some people will choose to use a mattress protector. These will protect one from allergens like dust mites. They are hypoallergenic and made from such materials as vinyl. Available styles of mattress pads or protectors include allersoft, encasement and material.

Organic Latex Mattress Vs Natural Latex Mattress - What's the Difference and Who Cares?

In this article I want to clear the air as to what constitutes "Certified Organic" vs. the all natural aka "botanically derived latex" used by manufacturers of latex foam mattresses. As of today there is only one truly USDA/EU Certified Organic Latex used for latex mattress cores and latex mattress toppers. The company that manufactures that product has very limited amounts available so there are only a handful of mattress factories in the United States that can even get their hands on it.

Toddler Bed Mattress

The company that has broken the "Certified Organic Latex" barrier is Latex Green located in Sri Lanka. This has taken years to accomplish. Latex Green had to isolate a large part of their rubber tree plantation and keep it free from any chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers for years until it was finally awarded the organic certification in both the US and EU. In addition, a portion of the manufacturing plant had to also be isolated and kept sterile. This was a major undertaking and huge expense to pull this off but Latex Green's commitment to the earth and our environment has been nothing short of commendable and greatly appreciated by those of us who offer non-toxic sleep solutions.

Toddler Bed Mattress

Here's what Latexco, the only authorized distributor in the U.S., had to say about this long journey- "In order to meet the requirements for certification Latex Green segregated a section of the Plantation. The USDA requires that there be no chemical fertilizers or pesticides used on the trees or ground for a minimum of 4 years before any sap can be collected. After purging for 4 years the sap is collected and stored in a separate facility. It is then mixed, processed, poured, washed and packaged separately using separate equipment so as not to contaminate. You will notice that even the pincore pattern of the Organic is somewhat different from the regular (natural but not certified organic latex) Naturalux. That is because the newly commissioned molds used to produce the Organic are used solely for that purpose and never used to produce other products, assuring that there is no intermingling, residue or trace contamination. The material is also packaged in foil lined paper and stored separately in both the LG and our facility. This has been a long and costly process requiring years of commitment, diligence and investment but the results are the World's First Truly Organic Natural Latex". This video can explain it further Organic Latex Mattress

When Mithra from the R&D department at Latex Green was asked "How does the organic latex mattress cores differ from the natural latex cores?" the answer was as follows in regards to the harvesting of natural "botanically derived" latex. "According to our plantation comments, it is common that fertilizers are being used at the very early stages until the rubber tree is grown and ready for tapping. Once the tapping starts (approx in 06-07 years) and the trees become mature, the use of fertilizers is reduced gradually allowing the tree to sustain the growth on its own. The plantations that we collect latex from have trees that are over 20 years old and therefore the need to use fertilizers has become unimportant.

Secondly, we use 100% natural latex in our compounds with no fillers or synthetic latex added. Therefore, we also think that our products can be recognized as "Botanically Derived Latex products".

So the bottom line is that the only real difference is the use or non-use of fertilizers in the early stages of plant development. As explained above, even the natural latex, that is technically botanically derived, uses very little if any chemical fertilizers at its harvesting age. The follow up question I have asked is about the use of pesticides which will be the topic of a follow up article once I receive the reply but I expect a similar response.

The only remaining question would be one to ask of yourself, as organic latex mattresses are approximately 1/3 higher in price, and that is "how pure do you really need to go" when buying a natural latex mattress. As a side note, there has never been a reported case of a latex allergy associated with a latex mattress, latex mattress topper or latex pillow according to the FDA and that's because any residual chemicals that may have been present in the finished latex all get washed away during the 5 step rinsing process.

So to completely eliminate any possible chemical contamination the Certified Organic Latex would be the preferred choice. The likelihood that there are any dangers in natural botanically derived latex is extremely doubtful but not inconceivable. The remaining question is "is the difference in price worth the minimal risk"? My conclusion is this; there is no wrong choice here. Both solutions are head above heels better than any other sleep product on the market today. You simply cannot go wrong with either an organic latex mattress or a natural latex mattress.

Are Toddler Beds Really Worth It?

To buy a toddler bed or not to buy one? I guess it really comes down to opinion and what works for every family. My son never used his. The Tonka truck bed just sat looking adorable, with all of his matching sheets and comforter, never used. I think Mom liked it more than son did....LOL:0). We ended up passing Mr. Tonka on to some other child who slept in it and loved it!

Toddler Bed Mattress

My son never liked the crib. He was a very wild sleeper needing tons of room. Was it the mattress? Believe me I have asked myself tons of questions about that darn bed. Thank goodness my son who is now 5 loves his twin bunk beds and finally gets good sleep. I have friends who have toddlers who loved their toddler beds. So what is the mystery surrounding these beds?

Toddler Bed Mattress

With everything there are pros and cons. I decided to make up a FUN list and pass it on to all of you. You decide if they are worth it. They really do have some cute ones on the market. Before you spend the money and buy the little tykes toddler bed read this and decide for yourself.

Toddler Beds use the crib mattress. So if your child is moving out of the crib then you will have the mattress already. This saves you money. BUT, if you are planning to buy a twin later on you could just buy the twin mattress and place it on the floor until your toddler gets older. The beds are low to the ground. This will help your toddler in case they roll out of bed. It also is supposed to help them adjust to a regular sized bed. But, another option is to use a twin bed and place the rails on the bed. The cost. Unless you get one from a family member for free or second hand store you may have 0.00 tied up in a toddler bed. I did and then I bought the bedding thinking it would make a difference.... LOL Again the option is yours, but you could put that money in a twin bed.

Again, I am a neutral party on the matter. I may be slightly jealous to all of the parents who received much use out of their toddler beds. I really wish that my son would have slept in his. Oh well thank goodness the bunk beds are getting much use. Who knew! Parents you be the judge.

Sleeping Problems - Is Your Mattress The Real Problem?

A good nights sleep is essential to our health and well being. Having just 30 minutes less a night can leave you waking up feeling sluggish tired and dreading the day ahead. While some people rarely have sleeping problems, the majority of people have spells where they have trouble sleeping. For many its a persistent problem and its a problem that can really effect your physical and emotional health and well being.

Toddler Bed Mattress

If you have trouble sleeping through the night and if you wake up constantly, then chances are that your mattress might be the culprit. Your mattress has a massive effect on the quality of sleep you get. If you are sleeping on the wrong mattress then you will probably wake up several times during the night as your body tries to adjust itself. Many people actually wake up frequently without even knowing it.

Toddler Bed Mattress

If your mattress is too hard or too soft then it can give you too little or too much support. In this case your spine can be affected and this in turn can place additional pressure on the supporting muscles. When you sleep your body needs to be in rest and your muscles relaxed. When your muscles are forced to "work" while you sleep then it will affect you severely.

Some mattresses can actually affect you in terms of allergies and traditional spring mattresses are known for harboring all sorts of mites and bugs. A latex mattress might be a good option as its hypo-allergenic and won't build up mold.

If a mattress is too hot or too cold and if it can't "breathe" then it can also affect your sleeping patterns. If your skin gets irritated in any way then it will wake you up. Of ten times just changing your bed can make all the difference. Why not try it and see what difference it makes for you.

People like to experiment with their beds until they have found the perfect one. Some people even try waterbeds or airbeds if they have ailments. The traditional spring beds are generally what most people use. It's only after they realize that memory foam mattress single bed is so supremely comfortable that they switch to it, for good. Generally, people change beds after five to seven years.

Toddler Bed Mattress

Memory foam is known to alleviate sleeping disorders. Combined with medicinal plants such as Aloe Vera, these beds are also good for people who are allergic otherwise. These mattresses have made a lot of difference to people who otherwise found it difficult to get sound sleep. Moving to a foam mattress from a traditional bed may take you a while to get adjusted.

Toddler Bed Mattress

Spring beds by their very nature lose their strength and shape in about two years. Hence, they become painful in certain sections. Thus even a perfectly fine traditional bed becomes quite useless over some time. The durability is hence low in case of these mattresses. There are hardly any maintenance issues with a memory foam mattress single bed. They last longer and the comfort they provide cannot be questioned.

Why Buy A Memory Foam Mattress Single Bed

You need to understand that a spring bed is very different from a memory foam mattress single bed. Not just the way it's made but also the materials used. Most people who have to switch from the traditional beds to foam mattresses face some resistance from their bodies, initially. But you should know that the memory foam mattress single bed is good for you especially if you're having body pains and aches.

The foam mattresses take your body shape. They are also sensitive to body temperature. The way the bed nestles you is responsible for relieving the pain. The spinal cord is realigned because the mattress conforms to your body and hence none of the pressure points are hit. The positive health benefits of using a memory foam mattress single bed have been studied and researched.

The fact that these beds are sensitive to heat makes them a little less firm over years. If you want your memory foam mattress single bed to be firm always, check for firmness between 10 and 14-this should be adequate. Those of you who are used to traditional beds should get a very firm mattress if you want the firmness to be uniform throughout.

Are My Children Going to Be Fine Sleeping on Memory Foam Mattress Single Bed?

A question that haunts many parents of young kids is if their children are safe sleeping on these mattresses. Let your child know that the sinking and the bed moving along with the body are natural occurrences with such a mattress. This bed could be used even if your child has sleeping disorders. Take your child also to the mattress store and let him or her decide on the bed. Or if you're shopping online, ask the child to take a look at the catalog. You could even get one made to suit your child's needs.
