So then…. if dogs, cows and other non-humans have their very own mattresses, can gadgets have their own too?? Yes they can! Here’s something from FredFlare  —- the plush cellphone bed. You rest every night, everyone recharges nightly. And your cellphone deserves it, too. Its bed is big enough for another gadget, like your iPod, to snuggle next to it. It even has matching adorable slippers and I don’t know what that is about but the whole set works! It’s Japan made and unfortunately, the item is currently sold out (can you believe it?).

Made of lightweight cotton, this bedding is ultra absorbent, keeping your bed refreshingly comfortable to lie on. The matryoshka prints, familiar to Russia, offer a different and unusual style….you don’t see this pattern anywhere.

I’ve been following this story when it came out in the news nearly a month ago. It has taken my interest because it just baffles me to learn how other people take great lengths to take advantage of each other, that today, there are even mattress lawsuits. To go to jail because you stole mattresses is absurd. But then, I actually sympathize somewhat (somewhat!)… the prices mattresses go for these days, they really are “prized possessions” people would steal for.

Here’s an update on that case: Defendant Represents Himself on Mattress Suit

Now here’s a mattress that’s totally utilitarian! If you do not have enough space in the house, this will definitely be a keeper:

This non-sprung divan base has 2 well-ventilated ‘breathe’ drawers. An active layer at the top of the base uses body movement to force air circulation down through the support drawers below, allowing the base to ‘breathe’.

The bed goes for £175.

Comfort House brings the latest in electric blankets and heating mattress pads, with an array of different fabics, more control for customization, and safety wirings.

Fabrics for mattress pads are available in  polyester, cotton, or a blend of it, while electric blankets come in polyester, acrylic or cotton blends like: microfiber, microplush, and micromink.

Controls may either be a simple dial up which can be manually adjusted to a very sophisticated  LCD panel which can be matched with your bedroom’s theme.

Essentia Direct is perhaps the latest memory foam mattress to hit the market. It is a waterbased product, therefore, less harmful and toxic, and provides superior support equal to or maybe even surpassing top memory foam brands today.

They are currently offering two types of memory foam, Liberte, which provides firm mattress support; and Energie which has cradling support and soothes lower back and shoulder pains.

Check their website for more details. I especially enjoy watching the video of the company’s founder as he explains all of the features of their product.

Deciding on a waterproof mattress pad? It would help you to know that this is a kind of pad that offers a lot of function.

• If you have pets or kids in the house, a waterproof mattress pad provides easy protection to your standard mattress, as well as your bedsheets, from spills, wetting, dirt and dog or cat hair.
• It’s low maintenance and very easy to clean.
• It’s a good support for old, worn out mattresses.
• If you own a waterbed that is springing a leak, a waterproof mattress pad makes a good cover, at least until the waterbed is repaired.

Verlo comes up with their new line of memory foam mattress pads:
