Defining different types of mattress pads
0 Comments Published by Lilian August 23rd, 2008 in MATTRESS Shopping, MATTRESS Tips.
Confused about the different types of mattress pad in the market? Here’s a brief definition:
| Guaranteed to fit (GTF) | A fitted skirt made from a stretchy fabric like spandex or a knit designed to fit a specific depth mattress. |
| Wrap pad | This type extends over the edge and down the sides of the mattress. A thin elastic thread is attached to hold pad in place. |
| Extra deep | Designed with Lycra® or spandex to fit securely over the deepest mattress. |
| Fitted pad | Covers the top and sides of a mattress, resembling a fitted sheet with an elastic skirt. And a quilted top for added comfort. |
| Anchor pad | Covering only the top of the mattress, this mattress pad has an elastic band in each corner, making it the least secure and usually the least expensive. |
| Pillow-top pad | Adds a pillow-top feel to a regular mattress. And it can also rejuvenate an older mattress. |

Making College Dorm Beds More Comfortable
0 Comments Published by Lilian August 14th, 2008 in MATTRESS Tips.The world of college dormitory beds… Not so comfortable isn’t it? And mattresses are definitely used. Worse, standard dorm beds look a bit longer or taller than regular twin mattresses.
As a freshman entering college, be sure to have these essentials prepared:
A good set of bed sheets. Your parents should be aware of what size to purchase. They know that college dorms usually have taller mattresses, at least five inches longer than standard twin sizes. Bargain stores have a lot of properly fitting sheets with simple but decorative designs. They’re mostly of good quality but hoard as much as you need of those made with 200 thread count at least.- A dust mite protector like a mattress cover or mattress encasement. You will definitely need this as college dorm beds are haven for dust mites. Choose hypoallergenic ones, mattress covers usually are anyway. They are also washable via machine, so it’s easy to care for it.
- A mattress pad for comfort. College dorm beds may have mattresses that are old and lumpy. Adding an extra pad on top should solve the problem of becoming comfortable. Don’t go for cheap ones for this. At least get one that’s trusted when it comes to durability.
