Shopping for a Mattress? ...Get in the NOW!!!
It still amazes me to see that in almost every walk of life, consumers are looking for the latest and greatest on the market. Except when shopping for a mattress, it still seems that people are drawn to the ?same old same old' one mattress fits all coils and springs. Ouch! But that's not the big kicker; the big deal comes when you actually price these mattresses. To get a top quality coils and springs mattress you have to pay between $1500US -$3000US to get the comfort levels you want and then you are still really buying an expensive foundation with a memory foam pillow top, which is what is providing the comfort you feel. So, let's say you spend $2000US, you now own a 100lb wooden box filled with coils and springs and what sold you was the $200US pillow top.
So why not just take the time to really see what options are out there? You will find so many other choices that take advantage of our newest technology, are not only half the price but provide a much healthier environment...

Why Sleep on a Round Mattress?
A round mattress, like any other mattress, is just another way to get a good night sleep, isn't it?
Or is a round mattress more?
Is a round mattress in some way even better?
The ancient Greek Philosopher Plato, might have said, "Sleeping on a round mattress would be the ideal mattress."
Certainly Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of the Geodesic Sphere would have preferred a round mattress to the conventional square.
In fact, what better addition to a round house, than a round mattress?
A square mattress just wouldn't fit in a round house.
But why round?
What makes the circle so much more important to a philosopher, or a scientist?
In one word; space?
According to Plato, who was well versed in geometry, the sphere is the ideal structure of the universe.
While Buckminster Fuller enjoyed the sphere's philosophical nature, he preferred to see it practically.
Between the sphere and...

The Invention of the Modern Mattress
The modern mattress was invented gradually over time, with the need for better quality and the advance of technology.
The more technological invention would propel humanity, the more sophisticated and intricate the mattress would become.
The word mat-tress in English is used in writing as far back as the year 1290 AD.
Invention of the modern mattress as known today, began somewhere around the end of the Renaissance, in the 1700's, with the birth of the Industrial Revolution.
Competition between scientists seems to have peeked with the onset of the NASA space program, which saw the invention of memory foam, so important, that mattress design and production have now become more competitively innovating than ever before.
In Old French "materas", from Italian "materasso", from Modern Latin "materacium", the word was borrowed in Sicily from the Arabic word al-matrah "the cushion" could have carried the sense...
