#SleepBetter #SitBetter
Foam is the unsung hero of furniture, mattresses, and seating, but not all foams are equal. High resiliency (HR) foam and conventional foam sit at opposite ends of the performance

At FOAMITE, we deal with a lot of Chiropractors who have different opinions about what type of mattress is best for people with lower back pain…
On June 3, we celebrated our 35th Business Anniversary. If there is one thing that we have learned over the past 35 years, it is that there is a big difference between Fake and Real Comfort.
It’s summertime baby! And what do we do in the summertime? All kinds of things, but my favourite is sitting around a pool or a camp fire, with a tea in my hand, and talking with friends or family all day or all night long. If you are sitting outdoor make sure you are using the right grade of foam for your outdoor sitting application and that nobody slips anything funny into your tea.
If you want to buy a lifetime mattress that will help you sleep better, you need to learn a thing or two about what you need that will help you get there and achieve the rest of your life. A good mattress should last 20 years. Unfortunately, a week doesn’t go by where we get someone in our showroom complaining about a competitor’s 20-year mattress that has only lasted 3 or 4 years. This applies to spring mattresses or the newest and latest brand of foam mattresses that are being sold in boxes throughout social media.
If it’s a spring mattress usually the top layers will mat down after a short period of time and before you know it, you will be sleeping directly on the springs. When you call for a warranty then you discover that the warranty only applies to the spring core of your mattress and not the comfort layers. Any sagging, up to 1.5″, is considered normal wear.
In June I received an email from a frustrated mattress shopper. Here is an excerpt from his email: “I’m looking for a company that has detailed foam information readily available and will share it willingly with its customers, showing transparency. I am not at all impressed by what I have been reading about the big names out there, using lower quality foams and selling these beds at inflated retail prices!” The fact is, he had already fallen for the 20-year mattress that only lasted 4-years and he was sick and tired of paying good money for air (inside a spring mattress).
If Katy Perry were writing this blog, it probably would start something like this – “cause your hot and I’m cold, turn it down and I’m gold, your wrong when its right, sleep cooler tonight, we fight, we wake up, turn it down, let’s make up…” Try it a few times, its even better with background music. Okay, I am not a songwriter but I do play one from time to time. Anyway, back to the day job…According to experts cooler is better. Studies have found that in general, the ideal temperature, all year round, for sleeping better is quite cool, around 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, that’s between 16 to 20 Celsius.
Have you bought a foam mattress that has sagged or softened prematurely? Does it look old and tired, even though it’s not that old? It’s Makeover Time!
You got a great deal on a “natural, organic, eco-friendly” crib mattress, but is it really safe for your baby to sleep on? If you are interested in things like organic food and natural baby products, you should know that your child is actually getting a greater exposure to toxic chemicals from their mattress than from anywhere else.
