Dream Mattress Organics + Austin Air 

The hazy, smoke filled skies from the wild fires that are burning all across California are causing poor air quality and health concerns for hundreds of thousands of people. These devastating wild fires are doing more than causing chaos and ruining homes, they are also bringing health risks for people and animals in the surrounding areas. Wild fire smoke and smog have particles from burning the vegetation and burned building materials. These toxins become mixed with gases that cause harm. Wild fires send smoke, soot, toxic chemicals and tiny particles into the air, which are often carried for hundreds of miles.

Wild fire smoke can be especially harmful to the elderly, pregnant women, and children. These fires can cause a range of health problems, from burning eyes and a runny nose to aggravated chronic heart and lung diseases. Some reports have shown that air pollution could also be associated with a risk of diabetes, kidney disease, as well as fluctuations in your blood pressure.

If you see a haze, smell smoke or know of a wild fire in the area, you must take precautions to keep you and your family safe from the toxins floating around. When you smell or are advised to stay inside, it is absolutely critical that you keep your windows and doors closed. It is okay to keep air conditioners or furnaces running, but only if you know your filter is clean or replaced recently.

The ultimate way to keep your body healthy when there are toxins floating about are air purifiers. When you are buying an air purifier for situations as serious as the wild fires raging across California, make sure you pick the right brand. Austin Air Purifiers have been the go to provider for environmental emergencies for over 25 years. They are the leaders in their market. Austin Air Purifiers will keep your home free of any chemicals or toxins that are floating in the air due to the raging California wild fires.

According to AustinAir.com, they have “supplied air purifiers during the gulf war to contend with burning oil wells in Kuwait. In 2001 Austin was called upon to provide air purifiers to the Red Cross, FEMA and the EPA to cope with the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. In 2003 Austin was designated by the United States Government to manufacture custom emergency air purifiers for the citizens of Anniston, Alabama as the largest concentration of chemical weapons in the world were destroyed under the Geneva SALT ll agreement”.

Remember, that even in the air outside looks clean, it may not be. Pay attention to local air quality reports and stay alert to any news coverage or health warnings related to smoke. If you are living in areas close to the smoke or smog of the California forest fires, or any other wild fire, consider investing in an Austin Air Purifier that will keep your family healthy.

Companies selling bedding have many things to offer. It can be confusing. In a time when money counts and budgets are tight, having all the information so an informed decision can be made is important. When you purchase a mattress, you want to maximize the life of the bed where you will spend every night. Covering the mattress with a pad, a topper, or a protector are a few things you can do to add some extras to your rest. What are the differences between a Mattress Pad, a Mattress Topper, and a Mattress Protector? Find out below:

A Mattress Pad

These pads will protect a mattress from common wear and stains. It works like a fitted sheet, covering the entirety of the mattress. They offer a thin layer of padding which adds cushioning to the top for additional comfort. They usually have a layer of light plastic which has contact with the top of the mattress and a cushioned top for comfort. Mattress Pads are the best of the both worlds in mattress protection and comfort. They work best for the following issues:

• You have an old mattress, but cannot yet replace it, but need to cover the whole mattress to give it an extended life.
• You need to protect the top of your mattress and do not want the squeak of a plastic Mattress Protector under you while you sleep.
• You want a reasonably priced way to protect your mattress and get a little extra plush under your body.

A Mattress Topper

A Mattress Topper is a piece of removable bedding that rests on top of the mattress. Mattress Toppers are made from a variety of elements and are used to add more comfort to your mattress. If your mattress has any limitations that do not perfect your sleep needs, the Mattress Topper fills in the gaps. They come in Down, Foam, Memory Foam, Gel Memory Foam, Cotton, Organic Cotton, Polyester Fiber-fill, Latex, and COIR. A Mattress Topper is for you if you have the following needs:

• Your mattress is too soft and you need some extra support.
• Your mattress is too hard and you need to add some plush comfort.
• You have an injury, are pregnant, or suffer from a pain that requires your body be cradled.
• You want temperature control that your mattress does not offer.
• You want to add height to your bed so it is easy to get on and get off.

A Mattress Protector

Mattress Protectors cover the entire mattress or just fit on top flat, like a fitted sheet. A Mattress Protector keeps away moisture, dust mites, bed bugs, mold, dead skin cells, and they also protect against spills. Five sided protectors, or encasement protectors, offer the best bed bug protection. They keep dust and dreaded allergens away from the interior of the mattress so it will not hold onto the irritants. They can be waterproof or water resistant.

• Waterproof means no water gets in and no water gets out. It is less breathable than water-resistant.
• Water-resistant means water or liquids in limited amounts will bead on the surface, but it is not impenetrable.

Mattress Protectors come in traditional plastic, PVC free, and Latex materials, but also with fabric tops (so smooth you can sleep on it too). They are not padded, so think about pairing with a Mattress Pad or Topper. Don’t forget to put a protector on your pillows too! The reasons you may want to use a Mattress Protector are:

• Keeping gross stuff out of and off your mattress.
• To keep liquids ad stains off your mattress (if you get a waterproof one.)

In summary, we recommend purchasing a waterproof protector if you need maximum mattress protection; or purchase a mattress pad for the minimal extra cushion which also gives you minimal mattress protection, or purchase a mattress topper if you need to change the comfort of your bed.

P.S. If you buy a mattress topper, you should purchase a mattress protector to put over and protect it.

Toppers, Pads, and Protectors all fit on top of the mattress and under the fitted sheet. Our sheets work very well with all mattress coverings because they have deep pockets. Deep pockets allow for extra inches needed when adding any type of covering to a mattress. Get your mattress suited up with any of these three, bedding accessory “must-haves,” for a great night’s sleep, tonight and for the entire life of your mattress!

We want to make these decisions a bit easier for you. One of the most amazingly well-developed, well-rounded, and ecologically sound products the world has to offer is COIR. COIR is simply coconut fiber. It is extracted from the husk of the coconut and has an unlimited number of uses. It is strong and has virtually no impact on the planet. COIR, once crushed, is used in horticulture and agriculture in place of peat. COIR is strong, antimicrobial, a natural bug repellent, and can be grown easily, with little impact on the planet. Manufacturers make padding, fabric, brushes, string, rope, nets, and of course, mattresses. These COIR products have been around since the 11th century.

Now consider the coconut itself, the birth mother of COIR, and why this gift from nature is all things natural and wonderful. Coconuts have many uses on and in the human body. It can be used to soften hair, nourish skin, whiten teeth, aid in digestion, and provides the body with healthy fat. Coconut water is a perfect form of all natural electrolyte hydration. 

The oil extracted from a coconut is antifungal, antibacterial, and does not get rancid quickly, so it lasts longer. Coconut oil helps with arthritis, improves memory, prevents gum disease, is a source of good cholesterol, helps burn fat and gain muscle, and treats eczema. This is a winning product for every purpose it touts. It also means that once the interior of the coconut is used as a food and grooming and cleaning products, the exterior has dozens of uses, not leaving it to cover the Earth in more trash. It is one of the few things taking up space on Earth that use little oxygen and that can be used completely from the inside to the outside.

If coconut is this good for you on the inside and the outside, imagine the benefits to sleeping on the byproduct COIR every single night. It supports human body weight with no uncomfortable springs. It will not retain bad smells and sweat. It does not emit chemicals. COIR keeps the body temperature regulated. It is hypoallergenic. The reality is that the essence of the coconut, and the byproducts that make COIR, are beneficial and as harmless as a product can be. 

Using coconut byproducts on your body for a healthy glow, ingesting some of its sweet water, and resting yourself on a COIR mattress at night are the ultimate benefits of choosing coconuts. 

1. Choose paint that does not have VOCs, (volatile organic compounds,) and harmful odors. The paints with VOCs can put out gases for months. Almost all paint manufacturers have gotten on board with making paint as safe for humans as possible, but don’t forget to double-check before putting it on the walls.

2. Avoid thick-pile carpeting. If you want carpeting, choose low-pile and a style made from natural fibers. Carpeting is often made from fibers that are harmful when being breathed-in by humans and animals. In addition to the harmful compounds, thick-pile carpeting can hold germs, dust mites, and pet hair. Choose wool or cotton.

3. Choose furnishings that are made from all natural and chemical-free materials. Buy only furniture made from solid wood, not pressed wood or lacquer. When buying your baby's crib mattress, choose one made from all natural materials, in a facility that meets human ecological requirements. 

4. Your baby's bedding, mattress covers, and mattress pads should be made from the most natural and chemically free fabrics available. Organic wool fabrics are from sheep never having been exposed to pesticides and which are treated humanely. Choose from a line of organic cottons that have never been sprayed with chemicals and have not been subjected to traditional chemical sizing. 

5. Use an air purifying filter in your baby's room to keep the air moving and clean. Choose one that is quiet and aids in removing odors. Nursery clean air can also reduce viruses and bacteria from the environment. Be sure to always clean your windowsills as these are growth areas for mold and mildew. 

6. Use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter system. These systems capture up to 99.7% of physical matter from surfaces. They remove microscopic allergens and germs. When used regularly, HEPA filter vacuum cleaners can improve overall air quality.

7. Clean your baby's nursery with eco-friendly, child safe cleaning products. There are many choices, most claiming to be safe and all-natural. Read the labels carefully and do your research.

8. Every room should have a touch of nature. A baby's nursery is no exception. Only certain plants are safe for a nursery. Check these out.

Paint wisely; clean carefully, stock eco-friendly products, use nature in your nursery. Combining all the elements listed above can make your sweet little baby's nursery that much sweeter and definitely safer.

Wishing you Sleep like a Baby tonight!

It is quite easy to assess whether you should keep or get rid of your mattress, it will practically tell you when it is time to go to the recycling warehouse.

1. As some furniture ages, it becomes more valuable and more beautiful. This is only true if you are NOT a mattress. Mattresses have a life of 7-10 years.
2. Apparent sagging is a flashing sign that you need a new mattress. This cannot be fixed. Any type of mattress can and will sag over time.
3. Permanent impressions are glaring signals that it is time for your mattress to get the heave-ho. The structure of any mattress will be compromised by repeated sleep positioning.
4. This indicator is specifically meant to address Memory Foam Mattresses. These mattresses will become hard over time as a reaction to body heat and age. If your Memory Foam Mattress feels ultra-firm it may be time to get rid of it since can be very disruptive to your sleep comfort.
5. Lumps! They aren't just for old movies. When mattress padding shifts around over time, lumps can accumulate. It is like sleeping on rocks. These lumps will hit pressure points you did not even know you had, and it will not be comfortable.  
6. If your mattress is much heavier than it was when you bought it, then it is absolutely time to go. Mattresses hold dust mites, dead skin cells, and every bit of adult, baby, and dog drool all of the above can produce!
7. Pain is quite bothersome to comfort. Whether your pain is a result of a chronic condition or a temporary injury, you should visit the idea of a new mattress. Healing is always slowed by sleepless nights. Consider a new mattress that alleviates your pain spots.
8. Allergies can affect you in the day and night, outside and inside. A mattress' fabrics, filling, and manufacturing process can make all the difference to one suffering with allergies. If your mattress makes your allergies worse, you should replace it promptly.

If you’ve decided your mattress still has some good years ahead of it or if you just bought a new mattress and you want to keep it in tip top shape then follow these 4 tips:

1. Read the manufacturer's instructions. No one knows mattresses better than those having designed and made the mattress, so do as they would do.
2. Mattress should be flipped once every six months. To keep it clean, feel free to sprinkle some baking soda and then vacuum the side to be flipped before you turn it over.
3. Tuck a label under the mattress to remind you of the date last flipped. Also, mark your calendar to remind you of when the next flipping should be for your mattress.
4. A cushion top or pillow top should not be flipped. These can be freshened up with baking soda and a vacuum. You can rotate them once every few months.

If you do your research and plan properly, you can get a mattress that will work with your life and needs, a mattress that is made from the elements you desire, and within the budget you can afford. And until it’s time to get a new one, don’t forget to flip!

Need a good memory mattress suggestion? We love our Natural Reserve Air bed. You will be pleased with its infinitely dual adjustable air support and the reversible wool encased topper insert: latex on one side, memory foam on the other side!

Pillows are an important factor in a good night's sleep and the quality of that night's sleep. Before considering anything else, you need to consider your sleep position. Here is a list of sleep positions and the pillows best suited for those needs:

• Back Sleepers: A back sleeper should use a thinner pillow. This prevents a head from being thrown too far forward. Buy a pillow with extra loft in the bottom portion of the pillow as it will cradle your neck. (Loft is industry language for how much lift the pillow has)
  
  

  

Natural Shredded Rubber Pillow – Soft, Squishy & Malleable

• Side Sleepers: A side sleeper will need a firmer pillow to fill in the area between the outside part of his or her shoulder and his or her ear.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers pose the most challenge as they need back support. Get a quite thin, nearly flat pillow. If you are an experienced stomach sleeper and do not sleep any other way, you may not even need a pillow for your head, however, you should use one under your stomach for back support.

Next on the list of things to consider is the material used in the pillow. This will affect sleep for a multitude of reasons. There are many options, so choose which best suits your sleep style needs.

• Foam pillows: Density will control the amount of support you get as without it the pillow will begin to break down and become too soft very quickly. The denser the pillow, the more support.
• Memory Foam pillows: Memory Foam pillows reduce pressure on parts of the body because they are molding and adjusting to the shape of your body continually, as you sleep. Keep in mind it is made from foam and foam is not an ideal smell for all people.
• Latex pillows: Latex pillows are the best line of defense for mold, dust mites, and sweat. It is also the firmest of all the pillow choices. Latex pillows align with the neck and back and provide good support.
• Wool pillows: Wool pillows are great for keeping the dust mites and mold away. They are the new popular pillow because they are hypoallergenic, washable,are eco-friendly, and are a renewable source. These are firm pillows, so they are not for the soft pillow sleeper.
  



Woolly Bolas Pillow – Organic Wool Fill

• Cotton pillows: Cotton pillows are hypoallergenic, washable, and they do resist mold and dust mites, the same as wool pillows. For those not loving the feel of wool, (albeit a very soft fabric,) cotton is the way to go. These tend to be for the firm pillow lover.
• Down & Feather pillows: Down and Feather are considered the kings of pillows. Experts and luxury manufacturers claim this is the best pillow for a good night's sleep. As the stuffing is movable, you can make a Down or Feather pillow in any shape you like, making it ideal for a dynamic sleeper. These are the softest pillows. They can, if contoured to the right shape, be made firmer. You can also try down alternatives that feel just as luxurious without the allergens!
  
  

  

  Natural Kapok Silk Pillow –Feels like down without the allergens

Pillows can have personality traits. There are specialty pillows, putting this selection in its own class for making the choice even more select. These pillows offer fabulous body support and tremendous benefit to a good night's sleep.

• Cooling pillows: Cooling pillows are helpful with hot flashes and night sweats. They are filled with tiny beads that absorb and wick away heat.
• Snore-reducing pillows: Snore-reducing pillows can help with snoring. There are many factors which can go into the elimination of snoring. A pillow is a source of benefit, providing support where necessary and holding the head and neck in position for a more restful, silent sleep.
• Position pillows: A position pillows is made to target certain areas of the body. These areas are back, stomach and side specific. Choose your sleep position first, then chose for body length.

Cost is always a factor when getting a pillow. A pricey pillow does not mean it is a good pillow. Do your research, check out online reviews, or try a pillow in person before making a decision.

A good pillow, made for your sleep style, can make all the difference between a recharging rest and a restless one.

Pick a pillow that’s right for you and start catching some zzzzzzzz’s.

There are some factors which can make your decision easier. If you have any number of conditions, an adjustable mattress is the favored choice. An adjustable mattress can get you to fall asleep faster, wake less often, and dramatically reduce the discomfort or disruptive symptoms from which you suffer.

1. Joint Pain Relief. Joint pain is a symptom of Arthritis. Arthritis is an extremely common condition. The pain can be substantial, and for some people, unrelenting. An adjustable mattress can work nighttime magic for those suffering. According to Spine-Health.com, a leading authority in spine care: "Individuals with osteoarthritis in the spine, or facet joint arthritis, often wake up feeling quite stiff and sore in the morning. Sleeping on an adjustable bed may provide better support and therefore decrease the irritation by minimizing joint compression." Joint pain can also be caused by exercise, weather changes, and a chronic condition. An adjustable mattress is ideal to take the pressure off joints and give some peace in sleep.
   
2. Snoring. Snoring is often joked about, but the truth of the matter is that snoring is not a victim-less crime. It is disruptive to the perpetrator and all of his or her victims. Snoring can send spouses to other rooms and ensure that you are known as the buzz-saw in the tent keeping the other campers awake all night. A not so funny aspect is that the brain gets a shock awake with every snore. This is hard on the body and brain, and ultimately changes the way in which you function in the awake world. Snoring patterns can be helped tremendously by changing sleep position. Your airways are open and your breath easier when in an elevated position.

   
   

3. Allergies. Allergies are a very serious problem. They not only affect the day function of the sufferer, but take the chaos into the evening. Coughing, sneezing, and dripping noses are disruptive to sleep. As with snoring, the upright position keeps airways open. This position keeps the gunk from dripping back into your throat and can help stop a major clog in your sinuses. Think of this system as you would a plumbing system; the higher the pipes, the more likely the fluid will drain straight down rather than backward. That little tickle at the back of your throat that exacerbates coughing is less likely to happen because the sinus fluid is going out and down, not trickling into your throat.
   
4. Heartburn. Heartburn is common. Almost every person walking the planet has had at least one episode. The chronic sufferer can have a miserable night's sleep due to the pain associated with heartburn. Sleeping at an incline keeps the acids where they belong, in your stomach.
   
5. Back Pain. Back pain can be tormenting. It follows you wherever you go. When it follows a person to bed, it can be a nightmare. Keeping your back in an incline position makes gravity work in your favor. Keeping your knees elevated will take the pressure off the lower back and reduce pain. People sleeping at an incline report a significant reduction in back pain almost immediately.

These are all the wonderful benefits of an adjustable mattress. They are many and significant. Consider a few things when making the choice; adjustable mattresses cost a bit more, they use electricity, and are quite heavy. In the big picture, these are small considerations, but are worthy of mention. Keep your eyes out for deals to save money, cut back on running the TV all night or sleeping with the air on, and make sure you know where you want the bed to live, because a weekend furniture reconfiguration will take a lot of muscle.

As always, Sweet Dreams!

Most people do not choose to stay awake. It is estimated that approximately 50 million American suffer from some sort of sleep disorder whether it be medical, psychological, or material. The last meaning people uncomfortable in their surroundings, exposed to loud noise, reacting to stimulants, hunger, room temperature, and staying up past your personal sleep window.

A sleep window is that time during which you become very sleepy and your body is crying-out for rest and you stay awake. For medical and psychological issues, seek the treatment of medical professional. If you are over-stimulated, have too many blankets, or drink coffee after the witching-hour, read on for tips and trick for getting to sleep:

1. If you are having trouble getting to sleep and you know that coffee is a problem, you have got to cut loose your late night sips of the beloved beverage. Yes, it is painful, and tastes soooooo good, but you have to say goodbye to this rocket fuel stimulant after 1PM. Try an herb tea or hot chocolate instead.
2. Do not go to bed hungry if you want a good night's sleep. Do not skip your dinner and feel free to have a light and healthy snack after 8. People often think of night eating as some sort of horrible affront to humanity! A 6PM dinner to a 7AM breakfast is a long time to go without any food. Even pediatricians recommend allowing children a snack at night. Stay away from sugary foods and spicy foods at night. They can keep you up or upset your stomach. If you are on a diet or have dietary restrictions, please consult your physician before you snack at night.
3. In order to get the best atmosphere for a peaceful way to sleep, do not use overhead lighting. When you get into bed, use your bedside tables. If you do not plan to read, just use a small nightlight.
4. Televisions, e-book readers, iPads, cell phones, and computer screens are bad news for a mind trying to shut down for the night. These screens emit a white light with blue waves that send messages to the receptors in your eyes. The message is, "STAY AWAKE AND WATCH ME." The sleep-wake receptors will be on overload and get confused. Shut it all down.
5. Music is a great way to get to sleep. Since music is the auditory version of, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder," you may like some rock n' roll before you sleep or Beethoven. Either is perfectly fine as long as you keep it light and the music at decibels lower than a train.
6. Body temperature is a real issue for people at night. Too hot or too cold can destroy a night's sleep. If you can, keep the air conditioner going in your room during the day to get the room cooler so you will not have it running at night. Use light cotton sheets and organic bedding. Organic bedding is a lighter weave than traditional cottons. If it is cold outside, keep the windows closed all day and use natural wool bedding. Wool keeps the warm in and the cold out.
7. Exercise, bathing, and meditating are wonderful ways to get to sleep. They may seem hard to swallow for someone not interested in doing any of the above, but they are successful methods. Talk to your doctor before you embark on an exercise routine. Do some research and find which of these suits your age, lifestyle, and physical condition.

Sleep is that thing that we love to skip when we are young. The less you sleep, the more fun you think you are having, but there is a price to be paid. Setting good sleep patterns is possible no matter what your age.
