Read this interesting story on mattress shopping from the Arizona Daily Star. It has some great buying tips and consumer information.

Norma and Bob Gentry really hated shopping for a new mattress. After finishing a bedroom addition to their San Clemente home, the Tucson couple decided they couldn’t bear to move their ancient king-size set into the new digs. So off they went, trudging to department stores, specialty centers, furniture stores and everywhere else they could think of. “Everything we looked at was at least $1,500,” Norma Gentry recalls. “We didn’t really have it, and we didn’t want to spend $2,000 on a bed.” Finally, late last year, they found sleep nirvana — at Costco. They settled on an approximately $850 set from Sealy Posturepedic, knocked the price down with a coupon, then added a memory-foam mattress topper.

Lots of interesting stuff at the Deviant Art community…and here is one:

The artist, hojax, wrote:

I named it ‘dear diary’ because it mostly focuses on Harems and how women in them have to put up with being sex slaves. i wanted to rip up the mattress and write a sort of confessional diary under the surface to portray how the women keep their pain inside and the black ink parts on the surface around the swirled hot glue represent sin and darkness taking over the souls of the women. its a travesty, but these women feel like its their duty to please their husbands.

You still have a week to go before Father’s Day. Here are some more interesting mattress toppers gift ideas from Supercomfort:

STLBeds bring up an interesting view on the different types of mattresses found in stores these days. In truth, this isn’t a unique problem. Anyone could get confused with the number of choices, that making comparison between mattress is nearly impossible.

Unfortunately for patrons these manufacturers will display different model names, differ in construction make up, fabric patterns, quilt stitching and even total weight. These comparable mattresses are supposed to share similar construction only offered with a simple change of the fabric color and a change of the name on the label. The reality is that it could be a lower-grade product. Protection of these large retail cash cow dealers is imperative especially in the cases where mattress dealers are in close proximity to one another.

I took this test a while ago. I got six out of eight. But that’s not what’s interesting. What is interesting is this fact from Question #8.

8. How often should one change the bedsheets?

Dust mites live off of sloughed-off skin cells and can cause allergies. However, even frequent sheet changing can’t completely eradicate allergns. Hair, pet dander, dust, and bodily fluids build up in your mattress over time, doubling the weight of the mattress in ten years.

Can you imagine that? You double the weight of your mattress through the years because of all the dirt that grows in there. Brrr.

With a variety of patterns and colors, you can design and create your own duvet set and have them sewn via this site. The selections of fabric and colors are quite rich and interesting. You can even customize this using your own fabric.  It’s a great idea to have if you would like a one of a kind material covering your bed and mattress.

For having had too much fun during the long holiday break, a boy resorted to glueing himself on his bed frame, in order to avoid going back to school. The ten year old kid used an industrial strength glue to stick himself on the bed’s metal headboard that authorities had to be called in too free him. He stayed stuck for two hours and was eventually made to go to school, albeit a little tardy.

The interesting story is at ABC Net Australia.
