We bought a memory Foam Mattress and box springs about 6 months ago. The box springs keep breaking, the boards just snap. It’s been replaced 5 times, and upgraded the box springs so I can’t blame it on the mfg ! I have asked if we need some kind of special bedframe, ours is just metal with a cross bar, and was told it should be fine. Please help! This is getting embarassing!
The boards can only break if it is a cheaply built foundation or the steel frame underneathe the foundation is lacking center support. Check out Flobeds they make some really heavy duty foundations.

When you are choosing your mattress, you are choosing your most used and important piece of furniture in your home. If you sleep the average eight hours a day, and expect to keep your mattress for at least ten years, you will have spent 29,200 hours on this piece of equipment! It will impact your mood, comfort, your health, and your sense of well being for as long as you sleep on it. So while this often overlooked purchase may seem insignificant initially, it is far from it.
There are many more options today when choosing a mattress than there used to be. Mattresses are made to cater to the individual, and there are mattresses that are big enough for two people that have separate components, making it possible for each individual to set mattress variables to suit their own individual comfort or body type. Such mattresses mean partners no longer have to compromise a good night’s sleep.
Adjustable beds are mechanical marvels of design and comfort which are perfectly adapted to improve many different symptoms associated with varied conditions that lead to back pain and more. If you suffer from lower back pain, your condition may be the result of many causes, of which the sufferer often has no how they got in the first place.
Adjustable mattresses are now being designed with flexibility at both ends, so that both the top and bottom of the mattress can be adjusted to rise or lie down according to the sleeper’s comfort levels. This is very useful if you are a person who likes to watch television or read a bit before falling asleep at night.
The causes associated with back pain include strains, sprains, ligament sprains, joint problems, over-extension, work-related pains, slipped disks, and more. Actual physical disability from instances such as work related accidents are another well-known cause of back pain. In all these instances, an adjustable bed can help soothe your sore aching back.
There are other tips from doctors on relieving back pain which can be utilized in combination with an adjustable bed. Heating pads are recommended to relax painful muscle spasms and medications such as Motrin, Aleve, Aspirin and Tylenol also reduce pain and swelling. Once again, an adjustable bed can help you relieve and maybe even prevent these same pains!
Some adjustable beds, specifically electric adjustable beds, come equipped with soothing heating units built in. Some electric adjustable beds even have a vibrating feature to massage away daily stress, boost circulation and ease your sore back. As far as any relief you may get from taking medications, the adjustable bed manufacturers haven’t come up with anything to replace them yet.
Adjustable beds come in a huge wide variety of different shapes and sizes, models and types to fit most any budget. There are basic, hand operated adjustable beds, basic electric adjustable beds that elevate and configure themselves at the push of a button on a remote control unit, to the top of the line adjustable bed with all the bells and whistles such as wireless remotes, heat, massage, removable legs and more.
Many of people’s problems in today’s society result from the lack of sleep, so be sure to invest in a good bed and maybe a memory foam mattress. The calm and steady sleep we need depends primarily upon the quality of the mattress we use in our beds. The better suited the mattress is for your body, the better you will sleep.
A quality memory foam mattress like Tempurpedic can help you to sleep by reducing the pressure points on your body which means less tossing and turning. There are less expensive alternatives, you can use an alternate brand or even a high density polyurethane Foam Mattress topper, which is designed to relieve pressure points in the same way that a memory foam mattress does as long as it is 3 or more inches thick. The memory foam mattress pad is an inexpensive way to improve the sleeping surface of your bed as long as the belying mattress is in good condition.
If you are going to buy a memory foam mattress, it is important that you select one that has sufficient memory foam on the top layer. At least 3” in the memory foam layer is preferable for comfort and pressure point relief. If you find your mattress is too firm, memory foam pads don’t cost very much when compared to the cost of an actual mattress set. The comfort the memory foam mattresses provide will make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud.
The Tempurpedic foam mattress has the capability to return to its original shape and can provide better comfort and orthopedic support than an innerspring mattress. As a dense memory foam mattress reacts with body heat, it will contour to the body shape within seconds. The Tempur Pedic mattress types are suitable for all weights so you don’t have to buy a firmer mattress for someone heavy and a softer mattress for someone who is lighter.

The memory foam mattress was only launched in the market in the early 1990’s which makes it a fairly new material in terms of the bedding industry. It is capable to support each area of your body evenly so that your spine stays in a neutral position the throughout the night. This mattress material can minimize pressure points which in return helps to reduce tossing and turning while sleeping, the main reason people report loss of sleep.
Memory foam mattresses are made of a blend of natural and synthetic materials which are designed to be allergy free and hypoallergenic, as well as dust mite resistant. This makes memory foam a natural choice for allergy sufferers and the health conscious alike. It is naturally inhospitable to dust mites, as they prefer open, damp spaces with natural materials on which they may feed. Memory foam does not have open spaces for the mites to live in, does not retain heat moisture, and is not composed of cotton, all of which deter and prevent dust mites from residing beneath you. When you compare these statistics to an innerspring mattress, which has large open spaces, retains heat and moisture, and is often composed of cotton pillow-top which retains skin cells (dust mite’s favorite food), than it almost makes the memory foam beds seem like a no-brainer!
You do not have to rotate or flip a memory foam mattress because it does not use springs, but is supported by foam which will remain resilient for years. Based on several studies, people who have use memory foam mattress sleep soundly and better than those who use the normal coil bed. Because of this reason, thousands of doctors and other specialists have suggested to patients to use it to avoid bad sleep which is often linked to disorders such as narcolepsy, obesity, poor concentration, increased stress, insomnia and irritability.
All memory Foam Mattresses are not the same. They vary in density, thickness and quality. There are less expensive alternatives, you can use a high density polyurethane foam mattress topper, which is designed to relieve pressure points in the same way that a memory foam mattress does. If you are going to buy a memory foam mattress, it is significant that you select one that has sufficient memory foam on the top layer, typically 3-6 inches is good. The memory foam mattress pad or topper is a reasonably priced way to improve the sleeping exterior of your bed, provided it is in decent condition. Memory foam pads don’t cost very much when compared to the cost of an actual mattress set. But the comfort they provide, will make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud and can come close to simulating the feel of an actual memory foam bed.
One great advantages of a memory foam mattress is its sensitivity to weight. For someone of lighter weight and small stature, 3” of memory foam on the mattress should be sufficient where as a larger individual may need up to 6” of memory foam for proper support and contouring. Memory foam is designed to become softer with heat, and heavier areas like hips and shoulders exude more heat allowing them to sink further in therefore keeping the spine aligned and the lower back supported.
The Tempurpedic foam mattress has the ability to return to its original shape and can provide better comfort and orthopedic support. As a dense memory foam mattress reacts with body heat, it will consequently, within seconds, form around the shape of the body. The Tempur Pedic is suitable for all weights so you don’t have to buy a firmer mattress for someone heavy and a softer mattress for someone who is lighter, but larger persons may be more comfortable with a thicker layer of memory foam on the mattress.
Everyone wishes to find the perfect mattress for the best night’s sleep, but there is not any “one-size fits all option”. There are various types of mattresses available in the market including coil mattresses, Latex Foam Mattresses, memory foam mattresses, air mattresses and traditional mattresses. The internet is probably your most valuable tool when it comes to getting the most mattress for your dollar.
There are various mattresses companies offers variety of mattresses depends on the materials. Perhaps the best approach would be to go to local stores to try out the different types and styles of beds, and then use the internet and ads to find the best deal on what you want.
Be sure to know the size of your bed or what size you want and if you have a platform style bed or need a foundation, as these conditions may affect availability and pricing. Measure your mattress from head to toe and side to side and take this with you.
Memory foam mattresses are the latest type of mattress launched in the market. Memory foam mattresses are manufactured by using specially designed foam, which has unique properties. This memory foam is specially created to ease the body while sleeping. Memory foam mattresses are truly a unique material and quickly becoming a consumer favorite. There are number of brands available in market so take some time and research your options before you buy, as the most recognized brand may not be the best solution.

You bring your cute, fun loving puppy home for the first time and of course you want your him to sleep with you. All furry, cute, warm and snuggly. But that is not the best thing to do for you or your hound. You really need a dog bed to establish correct behavior at the outset. It may be OK now, but when your dog grows to his full size at over 100 lb, will it still be fun?
Now that we have established that a dog bed is an essential item for your pet, what type do you get and what kind of things are you looking at?
How Do You Pick a Dog Bed?
First off ask yourself these questions. Does he like to be able to rest his head with a view of the entire room? Does he hang his head over the edge? Does he avoid the bed because he needs to cool off? Watch your dogs behavior and you’ll quickly learn which type of dog bed best suits him
Benefits and Features of a Dog Bed
The Indoor/Outdoor Bed is tough, water repellent and can be used inside or out. Orthopedic foam tends to provide additional warmth too so if you live in a warmer climate, your dog may prefer a cooling bed like the Canine Cooler to the traditional orthopedic bed. Using a dog bed in your home can help reduce injuries to your pet such as jumping off the couch; which is probably your canines favorite place to lie, especialy when you are away.
Picking the right dog bed will help with your allergies and even clean up. Using a dog bed provides you with one area where the majority of the shedding and/or dander is contained. Just pick up the bed, (or bedding), and put it in the washing machine. Of course make sure it’s machine washable first!
It is important for an older hound to have a comfortable rest area. Senior dogs over the age of 10 are similar to a seventy-year-old person. Can you imagine your grand parents curled up on the floor for the evening? Quality beds such as the Memory Foam Bed or the Thera Ortho Mattress are designed to relieve sore joints, bones and other problems that may arise due to your pets age or weight. They even make orthopedic dog beds now to help address this issue. Similar to humans, dogs also experience changes as they age. Their joints can stiffen, or their bones become thinner. If your older hound has slept in a kennel his entire life, it is good to learn that there are beds specifically designed for use in canine crates.
How to measure your dog for a bed: Different dogs sleep in different positions, as humans do so look at how your canine sleeps and determine the best size bed for your dog. Measure your dog when his is comfortably sleeping and add about 5 inches to ensure that he has enough room in his bed. Watch your canine sleep. Does he usually curl up or stretch out? If he’s relaxed to his maximum size, make sure the bed is big enough to support his entire body.
Spend some time determining which bed is best suited for your dog, keeping in mind that this will become a favorite resting place for your pooch! If your dog likes his head on a pillow, try a lounge bed or couch. Beware, low quality beds are easily torn and fall apart. They never really offer your hound the benefits of a higher quality bed.
Think of your dog bed as an investment, any number of high quality beds will last the lifetime of your canine, and so will their benefits!

You bring your cute, fun loving puppy home for the first time and of course you want your canine to sleep with you. All furry warm and snuggly. But that is not the best thing to do for you or your dog. You really need a canine bed and establish the correct behavior at the outset. Sure it’s fine now but when your dog grows to it’s full size at 100 lb, will it be such fun?
Dog beds today come in all sizes, colors, shapes, materials to suit any canine and any decor. If that’s not enough you can even have dog beds custom made. If you adopted your dog from the pound he may actually prefer his own place.
Things to Consider When Buying a Dog Bed.
Does your pooch shed or have any other disorder that will cause the bed to need constant cleaning? Does he hang his head over the edge? Does your dog curl up in a ball? The answer to any of these questions will help determine the type of dog bed needed for your pet.
Some Of The Benefits of Dog Beds
A dog bed allows your pet to have his own space, a place where he can curl up, relax and sleep. Beds with sides are great for dogs that like to hang their head over the edge.
Cushions and support should be considered for older dogs, as well as pooches with other joint or bone problems. Orthopedic foam tends to provide additional warmth too so if you live in a warmer climate, your hound may prefer a cooling bed like the Canine Cooler to the traditional orthopedic bed.
Some Dog Bed Features
You’ll find out that this is something your canine will be using every single day for the next five to ten years so you ought to put some thought into the dog bed selection. You should consider the size of your room and size needed for comfort the of your pet.
Quality beds such as the Memory Foam Bed or the Thera Ortho Mattress are designed to relieve sore joints, bones and other problems that may arise due to your pets age or weight. More traditional-style cushioned outdoor beds are made of tough polyester and resist mildew and fungus.
Other Dog Bed Considerations
Be sure to measure the entire length of your canine at rest to get an idea of how much space he is using so you can select the correct size. The most efficient way to make sure you are ordering the correct size bed is by measuring your hound in his favorite laying position and adding five inches. Watch your dog sleep. Does he usually curl up or stretch out? If he’s relaxed to his maximum size, make sure the bed is big enough to support his entire body.
If you have a little hound a small round pillow-type bed may be the best. It will let your pet burrow and nest. They come in a variety of styles, materials and colors and most can be thrown straight into the washing machine.
Next on the list of requirements is probably a chew proof bed, especially for puppies! There are any amount of styles of dog bed, such as indoor or outdoor, heated or not, travel or car beds and as previously mentioned orthopedic beds for the older canine. Most are stuffed with polyfill, often have cedar chips to repel odors and their covers are removable and machine washable.
For older dogs you need to consider the ideal dog bed. What about Grandma climbing into a waterbed with a two-foot frame? Or better yet, imagine her trying to get out. If your older pooch currently sleeps on the floor or in a cardboard box with blankets, his discomfort would be similar to these scenarios. An orthopedic dog bed would be ideal in this case.
Your dog will enjoy a high quality dog bed for all the same reasons that we enjoy our beds so make sure you buy a good quality bed that fits your pet and suits the way he likes to sleep.
