Tempurpedic

As reported by Seattle Times recycling and disposing of used mattresses takes more than the usual effort. For one thing, no one likes to purchase a mattress that someone else has already slept on for years. Even charitable organizations, according to the article, do not encourage used mattress donations. And when waste management companies do recycle them, they would need some time to tear the mattresses apart. Mattresses are constructed tightly precisely so that it won’t easily come apart. Waste management companies would have to make use of really expensive equipment to do so.

Crib mattress sheets can sometimes come off your baby’s bed. This can put your baby at harm as he or she may entangle himself or restrict breathing. Parents need to provide a mattress sheet that can stay securely in place even as the baby moves around a lot.

This no-slip secure fit crib sheet is made of 100% cotton and has deep pockets that snuggle to the mattress perfectly. Velcro fasteners provide additional security and help keep the sheets from bunching.

The HALO Secure-Fit Crib Mattress Sheet has passed the test and standards The Good Housekeeping Institute and American Society of Testing and Materials Safety Standards.

Stokke crib mattresses, meant to go together with the Sleepi crib, has been recalled because of a safety hazard that may obviously pose a problem. The mattresses, with its oval-shape design, are not properly sized, thereby creating a gap inside the crib. Thankfully, no injuries were reported as of yet, and the company was able to determine the problem early.

Parens who have purchased the item between September 2006 and March 2007 should contact the company and ask for replacement. They should check the model number in the crib’s underside. These are the ones that should be returned and replaced with a proper mattress: Model Numbers - 660321, 660320, 660301,660305, 660318, 652268, 652269, 652246, 652247 and 652248.

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.

Careful with those reclining mattresses, especially with kids around. I don’t mean to dampen the holiday spirit, but this story should serve as a reminder and warning to families everywhere:

In a freak accident earlier this month, a 4-year old boy died when his head got stuck behind a reclining bed. When reps from the National Consumer Affairs Center went to the house to investigate, they found that the mattress moved without even touching the Recline button. Dangerous!

The father found his kid with his neck wedged between the mattress and headboard on December 9th.

I don’t wish to advocate the use of guns but those that do should be responsible enough to keep them where its safe especially if you bring one at home, where there are children. But others have the need to keep their guns close to them, even while they are sleep.

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has recalled Jubee Bunk Beds, a Danish manufactured bed which has about 500 units distributed in the US.

Despite new mattress standards, mattresses today are made of several chemical-based products proven to be very harmful to the individual. Research conducted by several entities have documented that chemicals from mattresses evaporate and mutate to carcinogenic compounds. While these may contain low chemical levels, eventually, it can lead to persons becoming repeatedly sick, on account of prolonged exposure and contact.

Chemicals in mattresses weaken our immune system. Before you set to buy a mattress, make sure you know it’s components. If you suspect your mattress is inducing your health’s deterioration, it’s high time to find other mattress alternatives, such as an organic mattress.

This is an indication of how bad bed bug infestation is in some parts of New York City. New York Shitty took photos of an assortment of mattresses disposed on the street side one night, and in just one night - we should stress.
