Finding The Best Mattress

Choosing the Right Mattress to Get a Better Night Sleep

 

A study of the types of mattresses one should use to ensure a good night's sleep and a well-rested feeling the following day. Studies have shown that better REM sleep helps boost your mood during the day.

The invention of the electroencephalograph allowed scientists to study sleep in ways that were not previously possible. During the 1950s, a gradate student named Eugene Aserinsky used this tool to discover what is known today as REM sleep. Further studies of human sleep have demonstrated that sleep progresses through a series of stages in which different brain wave patterns are displayed.
In order to understand the right mattress to choose, one should know the 5 stages of sleep:

Stage 1
Stage 1 sleep, or drowsiness, is often described as first in the sequence. Stage 1 may last for five to 10 minutes.

Stage 2
Stage 2 is a period of light sleep with intermittent peaks and valleys, or positive and negative waves. The heart rate slows, and body temperature decreases. At this point, the body prepares to enter deep sleep.

Stages 3 and 4
These are deep sleep stages, with Stage 4 being more intense than Stage 3. These stages are known as slow-wave or delta, with slow waves of high amplitude, indicating a pattern of deep sleep and rhythmic continuity.

Non-REM Sleep
The period of non-REM sleep (NREM) is comprised of Stages 1-4 and lasts from 90 to 120 minutes, each stage lasting anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes.

Stage 5, REM
REM sleep is distinguishable from NREM sleep by changes in physiological states, including its characteristic rapid eye movements. Intense dreaming occurs during REM sleep as a result of heightened cerebral activity. REM sleep, or dream sleep, is essential to our minds for processing and consolidating emotions, memories and stress. It is also thought to be vital to learning, stimulating the brain regions used in learning and developing new skills. Studies have shown that better REM sleep helps boost your mood during the day.

How can someone get more REM sleep?

Virgil D. Wooten, MD, the director of the Sleep Disorders Center of Greater Cincinnati suggests making sure the sleep environment is as comfortable as possible. People spend about one-third of their lives asleep, and most of this time is spent on a mattress. Despite the amount of time spent in bed, many ignore their mattress until the springs start poking through the mattress pad. So give some thought and attention to the type of mattress used to ensure a good night's sleep and a well-rested feeling the following day.

Don't assume soft and fluffy is best. Poor support can lead to muscle stiffness as well as neck and back pain. Make sure your mattress isn't too soft and doesn't contain bumps, valleys, or depressions. Of course, too stiff isn't great, either. A mattress that is too hard can put pressure on the shoulders and hips. The ideal surface is gently supportive and firm, not rock hard or squishy. The mattress should mold to the body while supporting it.

Foam mattresses come in different degrees of firmness but often make people hot while sleeping. Innerspring mattresses consist of rows of tempered steel coils layered between insulation and padding. Firmness and durability is based on the thickness of the wire and number of coils. The higher the coil count, the firmer the mattress. Mattress Cushioning is what most people look for. But consider what the padding is made of. Wool is a better material for layers closest to the body, as it whisks moisture away from the body and keeps skin dry while asleep.

What size mattress is best?

As a rule, bigger is better. No one wants to fight for space every night or get kicked, elbowed, or shoved on a regular basis. A healthy sleeper moves around 15 to 30 times during the night, and cramped conditions can make sleeping awkward, uncomfortable and altogether frustrating. Indeed, some decades-old research suggests that sleeping in the same bed as someone else is less restful than sleeping alone. Also, as partners get older, sleep will become more restless and extra room in bed might be required.

2012 First Day Of Summer Report

I just went on a walk in Hillsborough, California today. Wow!! It was hot! Mothers and daughters were riding there bikes, father's were golfing with their friends, men jogging with their shirts off, and happy couples were walking there dogs. I was out with a friend strolling our babies. It was just way too hot for what I am used to. I live in the East bay with the fresh breeze from the bay, so I was not okay with this kind of heat that makes you drive straight to the ice cream shop. So I am sure it is real hot where ever you are since it is the first day  of summer!!! Yay Summer!  Let's protect ourselves fro the sun and use sunscreen.

American Made Comfort

Increase 200,000 U.S. Jobs by Buying American Made Products

The Futon Shop, a multiplier manufacturer, has been making green mattresses in San Francisco since 1976. Buy green buy American! A new line of American made certified organic crib mattresses.

  Statistics found by ABC Made in America tv series states that if American's buy 1% more of American made products, this will increase 200,000 jobs in the USA. Companies that manufacture products such as mattresses like The Futon Shop is a prime example of a multiplier Factory. By purchasing products made in a Multiplier factory, the products are made by multiple employees, and consumers are helping multiply the American workforce with products made in America instead of products made in other countries.
The Futon Shop is one of the longest standing companies that personally hand make each and every mattress in America. The Futon Shop has been producing futon mattresses in San Francisco since 1976. The Futon Shop uses organic and green material in all mattresses, ensuring customer's bring environmentally safe products into one's homes. This year The Futon Shop has launched a new line of healthy mattresses for babies, the Lullaby collection. All mattresses are standard size, 28"Wx52Lx6"H. All mattresses are firm, and the factory is solely for organic and green manufacturing. The Futon Shop organic cotton is brought in from America and Organic certified.
The Futon Shop's Mission is to create a better and healthy night's sleep, by providing premium green material and the best comfort in all mattresses. The cotton used in all crib mattresses are pesticide free and certified organic. The Organic Trade Association states that cotton covers 2.5% of the world's cultivated land, yet uses 16% of the world's insecticides, more than any other single major crop so when possible buy organic cotton for your family and the planets health.
The toxic free fire safety organization found through studies at Duke University, that it is imperative that babies sleep on chemical free products because they are more susceptible to harsh environmental dangers. The 2010 and 2011 analysis showed baby products donated from volunteers that 80% of products tested contained hazardous or untested chemical flame retardants. the Dr Alan Greene, a professor of pediatrics at Stanford University in Palo Alto, believes although it can be expensive, if a parent spends his money on one "green" item, he said it would be an organic crib mattress. A new mother can protect an innocent child in the womb, but when it comes to the harsh reality of the dangers once they are born, parent's can protect newborns by buying a healthy mattress void of toxic chemicals that emit poor indoor air pollution. Buying organic cotton products for newborns, guarantees a safer and a healthy planet for future generations and the earth.
What makes a safe green crib mattress? Dr. Green explains that conventional crib mattresses are often made of polyurethane foam, which is basically solid petroleum, putting-off gasoline fumes that become extremely flammable. Most companies that develop mattresses with polyurethane and traditional crib mattress load up their mattresses with a multitude of deadly flame retardants that sit in the foam and emit the chemical into the air.
What are the dangers to avoid with crib mattresses? Babycenter.com and Consumer Reports are major websites that are recommended by most doctors and are great resources for new mothers and fathers. One of the biggest issues with choosing a mattress is the fear of the raising risk of SIDS. The main issue when choosing a healthy crib mattress is the firmness. Consumer reports and Babycenter.com both suggest to get the firmest crib mattress. This problem occurs when a baby sleeps on a soft mattress, it can create suffocation. The Futon Shop crib mattresses are all hand made to feel firm and supportive.
Babycenter.com recommends buying an organic mattress no matter the price because it will "give parents peace of mind." It is the chemicals and industrial compounds used in standard mattresses- such as flame retardants known as PBDE's, vinyl, and polyurethane foam that are harmful. Babycenter.com also recommends not buying used crib mattresses, because this has been known to cause SIDS.
www.Crib-mattress-reviews.net reports found dangers found in crib mattresses are BPA, Phthalates, PFOA, and PBDE. The Futon Shop avoids toxic exposures because of their organic benefit. BPA aka bisphenola is used for the lining of the crib mattress, which is voided when manufacturing organic cotton mattresses. Phthalates, is another unsafe toxin, which helps waterproof crib mattresses as does PFOA perflourooctanoic aka c8. Again The Futon Shop uses only organic cotton textile for a waterproof crib mattress pad, which eliminates the latter two chemicals. And PBDE's will never be found in any of The Futon Shop products because they do not use dangerous fire retardards. So whether you are buying mattresses for adults or children; buy green, buy organic, buy American.

 Safety first: Your Newborn and Sleeping: There are so many rules and superstitions when it comes to how to handle your newborn, from sleeping, feeding, speaking, to breastfeeding. Everyone and their mother has something to say, and as a new parent, it can become quite overwhelming. The Futon Shop has a few important points when it comes to sleeping and your child.

When it comes to the firmness of the bed, the comfort that you would normally choose for yourself is very different from what you would choose for your little angel. You and your partner may like the comfort of a soft pillow topper, or a memory foam bed because it cradles your neck and spine better than anything on the market. But, when it comes to your newborn, a solid firm sleeping mattress is what is needed for when a newborn begins to toss and turn while sleeping. A firm supportive mattress will prevent your newborn from falling into any position where their face sinks into the mattress. You should check the crib mattress by putting your hand into the mattress and make sure there is no way your hand sinks into the mattress. Resistance and firmness is what you should be looking for.
The Futon Shop tacks their organic crib mattress 312 times to ensure firmness and tightness.

Farm to Bedroom

 


a quote from "Farm to Bedroom"


"Farm-to-bedroom by The Futon Shop offers consumers a back to basic alternative that is chemically free, naturally healthy and offers comfort as well as long term health benefits."


 According to the SaferChemicals.org:
The production and use of chemicals in commerce has grown dramatically since World War II, with the U.S. importing or producing approximately 42 billion pounds daily for use in countless products for manufacturing, businesses, homes, schools, and communities. Their use is so widespread that synthetic chemicals now contaminate all global ecosystems and can be found in our food, drinking water, and even household dust.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Report on Human Exposure to Environmental Chemicals—an ongoing analysis of over 200 environmental chemicals in the blood and urine of a representative sample of the U.S. population—demonstrates our widespread exposure to chemicals. Notably, pregnant women and fetuses are routinely exposed to hundreds of synthetic chemicals, as evidenced through biomonitoring studies.^{[4] [5] [6]}
Some people experience greater chemical exposures according to where they live or work. Certain workers are at increased risk of chemically-related disease because their exposures occur at much higher frequency, intensity, and duration than those that occur in the ambient environment.^[7] Continual exposures to cleaners and disinfectants, chemicals of concern in medical devices, flame retardants and formaldehyde in furniture, and solvents and formaldehyde in labs, for example, may explain higher incidences of some diseases among health care workers.

It is important to know what is in your mattresses, since according to the National SLeep Foundation:
we need:






 if we are spending as adults 9 hours and our children sleeping on average 12 hours in bed, it is very important to make sure there are no chemicals.

Look for organic and green mattresses and bedding. 
 

How To Sleep Better

Sleep experts suggest new ways to deal with couple-sleep problems without resulting to separate bedrooms. Evidence suggests having a memory foam mattress can help couples sleep more comfortably together. The Futon Shop provides an eco friendly soy based memory foam mattress as an alternative to the traditional chemical based memory foam mattress industry.

Sleep experts suggest new ways to deal with couple-sleep problems without resulting to separate bedrooms. Evidence suggests having a memory foam mattress can help couples sleep more comfortably together.

According to The Wall Street Journal, in their June article, "Who Sleeps Better At Night", sleep experts suggest new ways to deal with couple - sleep problems - without resorting to separate bedrooms. Researcher Wendy M. Troxel, an assistant professor of Psychiatry and psychology at the University of Pittsburgh says, "Sleep is a critically important health behavior that we know is associated with heart disease and psychiatric well-being," In Toxel's 2009 published study, she found that women in long-term stable relationships fell asleep more quickly and woke up less during the night than single women or women who lost or gained a partner during the six to eight years of the study.

Troxel also found that sleeping in the same bed promotes feelings of safety and security, shared sleep in healthy relationships may lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone. Sharing a bed may also reduce cytokines, involved in inflammation, and boost oxytocin, the so-called love hormone that is known to ease anxiety and is produced in the same part of the brain responsible for the sleep-wake cycle.
There are so many reasons why couples have trouble sleeping in the same bed. A different body clock, body temperature, stress, an argument, snoring, or even a parent who kicks the other one out because of co-sleeping. Clearing up a relationship issue can sometimes ease insomnia, says Christina S. McCrae, associate professor at the University of Florida and president of the Society of Behavioral Sleep Medicine. She has had several patients whose sleep improved after underlying relationship problems were addressed with their spouses during sleep-therapy sessions.

Another way to help couples sleep better, while sharing a bed is to get a mattress that both individuals can sleep comfortably. Memory foam is the number one choice as a mattress because it has an open-cell structure that reacts to body heat and weight by 'moulding' to the sleeper's body, helping relieve pressure points, and prevents pressure sores. Memory foam springs back to its original shape each time the body shifts, making it the ideal mattress for a couple to sleep comfortably without interrupting each other while sleeping.

About The Futon Shophttp://www.thefutonshop.com/index.aspx: A local San Francisco manufacturer of green futons and mattresses produce a green line of memory foam mattresses. Each memory foam mattress is environmentally friendly and hypo-allergenic. The Futon Shop only uses viscose memory foam that is environmentally friendly and hypo-allergenic.

The Futon Shop also just came out with their new line: Cool Cloud Sleep System, which is their Cooling Gel Memory foam.http://www.thefutonshop.com/index.aspx The soy-based gel memory foam topper keeps you cool and comfortable. So whether a couple disagrees with the comfort of the mattress, The Futon Shop can customize the mattress, to any quality and comfort, including a non toxic mattress, pesticide and fire retardant free.

When Allergies keep you from sleeping

When I was pregnant one of the biggest topics I read about in all the expectant books and websites was on what kind of mattress to choose. What I found was that the best mattress to get is a hypoallergenic mattress because you never know what allergies your child could have.










Allergies affects your immune system from a reaction to a foreign substance. May it be from pollen, bee venom, or pet dander.  It is important to protect yourself while you are sleeping or in rooms of the house that can absorb these products.
The whole process of your immune system is to produce substances known as antibodies, which protect you from unwanted substances that often make your sick or that can cause an infection. . When you have allergies, your immune system makes antibodies that identify your particular allergen as something harmful, even though it isn't. When you come into contact with the allergen, your immune system's reaction inflames your skin, sinuses, airways or digestive system. 

ways to protect yourself from allergies in your house is:


1) Be sure you can wash and remove it from your house: to wash your sheets and blankets often. As for couches, be sure you purchase couches that have washable covers like futons.
2) Cotton is hypoallergenic meaning it doesn't irritate sensitive skin or cause allergies...so buy cotton covers for you couches, cotton futons, and cotton mattresses and bedding.
3) 100% pure latex is hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial, and dust mite resistant..buy latex mattresses and pillows
4) according to Babycenter.com:

Here are the best ways to reduce your child's exposure to the most common allergens:Dust mites
Dust mites live in fabrics and carpets and are common in every room of the house. But children are usually exposed to the most dust mites in the bedroom, where mattresses and pillows are veritable dust-mite condominiums.

The following steps may seem like a lot of work, but they really help.
"Parents who take these steps might expect a 60 to 70 percent rate of improvement in their child's allergies," says Virant, "and this should markedly cut down the level of medication needed for the problem."-

• • Encase your child's mattress in an impenetrable cover made of very tightly woven fabric, found at allergy supply stores. Unlike vinyl covers, these provide a barrier that's breathable and not crinkly. Avoid big, fluffy comforters and use blankets instead.
  • Wash bedding once a week in hot water to kill dust mites. Set your water heater to about 130 degrees Fahrenheit before laundering bedding, and warn family members that the water will be hotter than usual. Be sure to turn the water heater back down (to about 120 to 125 degrees) afterward so family members won't scald themselves when they wash their hands or shower.
  • Avoid piling up stuffed animals in your child's room – they're dust-mite magnets. Wash the few favorites your child can't live without in hot water weekly or stick them in the freezer for an overnight killing frost.
  • Dust and vacuum weekly or every other week, but make sure your child isn't in the room when you do it. Dusting and vacuuming stir up residual dust-mite particles in the room. Wet mopping can help prevent this.
  • Consider investing in a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency-particulate-arresting) filter, which traps even microscopic particles that pass right through ordinary vacuum cleaners.
  • If your child has a severe dust mite allergy, consider replacing carpeting with a smooth floor like hardwood or vinyl.
  • Clean or replace filters on your furnace and air conditioners monthly during seasons they're in use. Have heating ducts cleaned each fall

The Futon Shop Reveals Fire Retardants

Organic Mattresses That Save Lives

The Futon Shop's all wool mattresses with no fire retardant pass the 16 CFR part 1633 open flame test with flying colors. Now there is finally an organic alternative versus the use of flame retardant. Truly, organic mattresses that save lives.

From Farm to Family

Truly, organic mattresses that save lives.

Flame-retardant use is widespread in the U.S., in mattresses, couches, carpet padding, foam cushions, polyester bedding, and clothing. Most fire retardants are made from variations of a chemical known as PBDE, which stands for polybrominated diphenyl ether. According to the Washington State Department of Ecology (WSDE), in laboratory studies PBDEs have been shown to cause problems in rodent brain development. "Most of these problems stem from pre-natal exposure and exposure soon after birth. The health effects appear to be permanent," says WSDE.
PBDEs are "persistent" in that they don't break down but remain active in our air, water, soil and food. WSDE says that PDBEs are building up in animals throughout the food chain, even turning up in Orca whales in Puget Sound in Washington and in the bodies of polar bears in the Arctic.
PBDEs also stay in our bodies, accumulating in our fatty tissue. The U.S. is the world's largest maker and user of PBDEs, and levels found in Americans are as much as 100 times higher than in Europe, where most PDBEs were banned in 2001. North American levels, say scientists, are doubling every two to five years and PDBE chemicals "off-gas" from the very products they are designed to make safe.
The Futon Shop has followed the law, by adding the most natural fire retardant to their cotton batting in the form of Borate aka Borax, aka Boric Acid. As for All Futon mattresses manufactured at The Futon Shop, the fire retardant boric acid is only sprinkled into the cotton, and no fire retardant exists in their soy-foam, latex or wool. Boric acid is not a known carcinogen by the EPA, the state of California or the IARC International Agency for Research on Cancer.
According to US consumer Product Safety Commission, under regulated FDA flammability requirements of 16 CFR part 1633, with a doctor’s prescription from a licensed health care professional, one can purchase a bed or mattress without fire retardants. Most retailers purchase their mattresses in bulk and are unable to eliminate harmful fire retardants. The Futon Shop’s custom made, premium organic and green futon mattresses can easily empower you to choose whether or not you want fire retardant in your mattress.
The fire regulation 16 CFR part 1633, requires all mattresses to pass an open flame test. The Futon Shop recently put their all wool mattresses with no fire retardant up to the 16 CFR part 1633 open flame test and it passed with flying colors. This means that The Futon Shop can manufacture any mattress with a wool wrap as the outer most layer and have it pass an open flame test. Now there is finally an organic alternative versus the use of flame retardant.
Truly, organic mattresses that save lives.
