PURFLEET, England, July 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ –

Whether getting a full eight hours at night, having a quick afternoon nap or simply relaxing between the sheets, it is estimated that we will spend one third of our life in bed. With so much time invested in sleeping, it is important that your bed [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/beds.html ] is comfortable and that starts with choosing the right type of mattress.

Mattress technologies

Choosing a new mattress [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1.html ] can be confusing. With a wide variety of fabrics, constructions and sleep-saving technologies available, knowing what product is right for you is not always easy. Knowing the type of mattresses [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1.html ] available is only the start.

Mattress Investment

When buying new products for your home, you are sure to have a budget. However, sleep experts have stressed a cheap mattress [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1.html ] is not always a good move. Buyers need to understand that quality pays in the long run as cheaper alternatives may be lighter on the pocket today but will need to be replaced in the near future.

Foam Mattress Choices

All foam mattresses [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1/type-foam.html ] will provide the benefits for overall quality of sleep while a memory foam mattress [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1/type-memory-foam-foam.html ] will give you support where you need it thanks to its body moulding capabilities. Sleepers looking for the added bounce of traditional springs can choose from a foam/coil hybrid. Hybrid mattresses such as a memory foam/pocket coil [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1/type-memory-foam-pocket-spring.html ] spring can also help people who have to share a bed [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/beds.html ] as the construction allows for uninterrupted sleep even when your partner is tossing and turning.

Mattress Research

When shopping for a new mattress, one of the most important things to do is to try before you buy. Product literature may tell you the science behind the comfort but nothing beats trying it for yourself in-store. If you share a bed [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/beds.html ] with a partner, you will also want to try out how your new mattress [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/mattresses-1.html ] feels with two people lying on top. Ensuring your mattress is comfortable for you and your partner will ensure you both get the best night’s sleep and get the most out of your new mattress in the long term.

As well as choosing a mattress that delivers optimum comfort, you will need to ensure it is the perfect fit for your current bedroom furniture [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/furniture-1.html ]. Carpetright also has a wide range of divan beds [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/divan-beds.html ], bed frames [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/bed-frames.html ], headboards [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/headboards-1.html ] and furniture available as well as the best advice on choosing the right product for you and your bedroom [http://www.carpetright.co.uk/beds.html ].

MORNING JOURNAL/KATE SNYDER

ELYRIA — Women will be more comfortable during breast biopsies now, thanks to The EMH Auxiliary Board, which paid $32,500 to replace the cold, hard surface of the biopsy table with softer memory foam padding at EMH Elyria Medical Center.

Most of the money was raised by a fall fashion show, the annual Holiday Ball and a shopping extravaganza, said Beth DeAngelis, supervisor at EMH Westlake Imaging Center.

The new tabletop cushions are made of a type of memory foam and will mold to the shape of the patient, DeAngelis said, which makes the patient far more comfortable than before, when they had to lie on a cold, hard table surface. The purchase also included several different sizes of cushions, to be mixed and matched according to the patient, and the table has many new features, such as an adjustable arm rest for the woman and brighter lights for the physician.

“It’s really able to conform to each patient,” DeAngelis said about the table.

EMH has been doing breast biopsies since 1997, but only on this particular table for the past two and a half years, and only on the memory foam since last week.

The first patient to use the new tabletop had biopsies done on the old one, too, said Kathleen Lechner, staff technologist in the hospital, so she “was the perfect patient.”

Lechner said the woman noticed the difference, and the new foam pads are much more comfortable.

After a board meeting yesterday afternoon, the EMH Auxiliary Board stopped by the mammography wing to see what they bought for more than $30,000. Lechner showed them all the different pads, as well as the adjustable arm rest, new lights and how the table can be raised up.

Lechner said while the new tabletop and accessories are geared toward patient comfort, she pointed out that “patient comfort” includes more than just softer padding. Continued…

Sandy Spike, a member of the EMH Auxiliary Board, said there was no question the board is pleased with the purchase.

Originally, she said, the board was going to donate to a fund for the new tabletop, but when the members saw what the equipment could do, they decided to fund it all.

“We just thought it was that important,” she said.

Soon after… (4) Sweedish Scientists with the Company “Fagerdala World Foams of Sweden”, began to refine this Memory Foam in the 1980′s to perfect it for consumer use. They took the formula and restructered it even doen to the initial cell structure, making each cell thicker, and richer.

In 1991, Tempur-Pedic®, a Swedish Mattress company… introduced this material to the people of Sweden. Then…In 1992, Tempur-Pedic® launched the same products the USA, and experienced a similar response.

With the success of Tempur-Pedic®, other foam manufacturers in Canada and the United States began to develop their own visco-elastic memory foam material to offer mattress, upholstering and specialty product companies a variety of options and price levels to choose from.

What Makes Foam have Memory

Memory Foam starts with a synthetic polyurethane foam material and other types of chemicals which add weight or density to the foam. With the addition of these chemicals, a non-toxic, visco-elastic foam is created. With Visco-elastic memory foam there are many features that help determine what quality of memory foam is produced.

How Foam is Rated

For a material to qualify as visco-elastic, it will have to be temperature sensitive and have an ability to rebound fairly quickly and return to its normal shape. Memory foam is graded by its visco-elastic nature and its durability by rating it as follows:

1. Weight (Density in pounds per cubic foot):

The weight of a foam is determined by the amount of chemicals used in the composition of the polyurethane foam. The more chemicals, the higher the density and the more visco-elastic it will become. This density will not determine the firmness of the material, this is done through utilizing an lB rating.  Many memory foam mattresses use a 4lb to 5lb. densities, but some use as low as 2 and 3lb. densities.
Typically a 20 year warranteed Memory Foam mattress has at least a 5 lb per cubic ft. rating to be durable enough to last for 20 years.

2. Tensile Strength:

This measures how foam can be stretched, measured in pounds per square inch, and how much elongation in terms of percent of stretch before rupture. This value has little relevance to memory foam mattresses because they are not usually stretched, and will become compressed only when slept on.

3. Resilience:

This measures the foam’s springiness by determining the rebound percentage of a steel ball dropped from a height of 36″. The term “H.R” (high resilient) foam refers to a highly resilient foam that will give a very high “ball rebound” reading. In general, the higher the resiliency, the better the more durable the foam will be with compression forces. However, with viscoelastic memory foam, less resilience indicates a better force dampening. This is due to less rebound pressure fighting the force of your body as it sinks into the mattress. Very high quality memory foam mattresses combine lower high resilient layer(s) with memory foam on the surface, so you get the pressure point reduction, while retaining the extra support below.

What is the initial smell that comes from memory foam?

While the memory foam that comes from the U.S. does not contain toxic ingredients such as formaldehyde {|or PBDE (polybrominateddiphenylether)}, it can have somewhat of a new foam type of smell that can stay for a couple of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the foam manufacturer. While this smell does not seem to trigger allergies, it can be a bother initially for people who have sensitivity to smells. If you do experience this, here are some tips to help the smell go away quicker. Air out the room and wash the sheets after the first couple of nights sleeping on the mattress.

The design in this particular Serta mattress is unique from other mattresses not made by Serta. It features a three-layer mattress, which supports and cushions a body, not only for side sleepers, but back sleepers as well. Many may wonder how that works, and the secret is in the layers. The bottom layer is 7 inches of base foam, which provides the support of the mattress. In the middle is 2 ½ inches of textured foam, which allows for even distribution of body weight across the surface. It also allows for increased airflow, making your night less stuffy. Finally, the crux of the mattress is the 2 ½ inch top layer: a layer of gel memory foam, which contours to the body of the sleeper.

The pillow was featured in a segment on how to make over your bedroom to lose weight. This is the second time The Dr. Oz Show has chosen to include a Comfort Revolution pillow. In December, The Dr. Oz Show named Comfort Revolution’s Hydraluxe Cooling Gel Pillow one of the 12 hottest health gifts for 2012.

During the bedroom makeover segment, Dr. Oz and Dr. Michael Breus, author of the “The Sleep Doctor’s Diet Plan,” discussed how the pillow’s foam core keeps your head cradled, molds to your shape, and keeps your spine properly aligned, while the soft exterior provides comfort.

The pillow’s design lessens pressure points and improves circulation for a great night’s sleep. The price is $59.99 and shipping is free. For a limited time, visit http://comfortrevolution.com to buy one Comfort Revolution Memory Core Pillow and get 50% off the second Memory Core pillow. Share the code with your friends and help everyone sleep well and wake refreshed.

Dr. Oz and Dr. Breus discussed the direct relationship between sleep and weight control. Lack of sleep causes the body to produce more cortisol and ghrelin. These hormones increase your appetite and cause you to crave high-carb, high-fat food. Losing sleep also means you will miss out on adequate REM sleep, when the most calories are burned. Dr. Oz told viewers that if they can increase just one hour of sleep a night, from 7 to 8 hours, they could lose 14 pounds in a year. The show was part of Dr. Oz’s Transformation Nation series.

Comfort Revolution, headquartered in West Long Branch, New Jersey, is a leading distributor and marketer of high-end sleep products, including mattresses, mattress toppers, and pillows. All materials in the Comfort Foam Memory Core pillow are hypoallergenic, making it ideal for people with allergies. Find out more at http://comfortrevolution.com
