A Savvy Mattress Idea

A Savvy Mattress Idea video Transcribed:

This is the Savvyrest mattress or a sample of the savvy rest mattress made in layers and the way this particular mattress is made is with soft on top medium in the middle and firm on the bottom and what I’m going to do is disassemble and reassemble it how I like it and as you can see we have soft on top medium in the middle and firm on bottom now.

When I first designed this mattress I did it because I knew that there was no particular feel for everyone some people like things firm some people like things soft, and after teaching yoga for so many years I knew that everybody was put together differently everyone thinks differently, and due to us being put together differently everyone sleeps differently. And so there wasn’t going to be one configuration that was going to work for everybody, furthermore I knew people going into a showroom weren’t going to know what they were going to like from laying on something for a minute, three minutes or even 15 minutes. So you really need to sleep on something for a few nights to know how it’s going to feel for you long term night after night. So how I like my mattress is actually a lot softer than firm medium soft, so the way I’m going to build this up is with medium on the bottom soft in the middle and soft on top. Now when you first put your mattress together it’s good to get the bottom piece in there pretty perfectly because if you get the bottom piece in there right the others will line up perfectly, Now that medium is in there pretty good, here goes one soft, one thing that’s cool about this is that you can change it after you’ve experimented for a while. Three months to change out layers so if you find it to firm, for example if I had firm medium soft I know that is to firm so I have 90 days to mail it back and set it up how it is now. Just getting everything stuffed in here at the top, and there you have it medium and soft build just for me.

There are basically 3 reasons for Waterbed odors and if your Waterbed Stinks, Smells, and Has A Bad Odor We are going to share with you How To Fix It.

How to fix a bad waterbed odor

Waterbed Stinks, Smells, and Has A Bad Odor. How To Fix It.

1) Waterbed mattresses are made from PVC vinyl and to make it more flexible and pliable plasticizers are added and when a mattress is brand new and out of the box much like paint that hasn’t fully dried waterbed mattresses can sometimes have a stronger smell. The smell is similar to the smell of a blow up air raft used in a swimming pool. This smell dissipates with in a couple days or weeks after being unpackaged and exposed to air for a while. Some say to use  a good vinyl cleaner but it too has a bit of a chemical smell and it really is only masking the smell.

2) If you notice a musty odor these can be tough to treat. Time and the following solution are the answer. The cause is typically bacteria growth. First look to see if there is moisture in the safety liner from a seam leak, puncture, or condensation. Start by cleaning and drying the mattress, heater, and liner. Don’t forget to clean bedding thoroughly as well. It is important to remove any possible mold and mildew. Leave the bed uncovered as long as possible to speed up the process of airing out. Dont forget to then turn up the temperature on your heater to at least 80 degrees to reduce or eliminate condensation which in turn causes mold.

3) The odor is coming from inside the waterbed bladder. If you have removed your plug and cap and the stench spews like a volcano from the open you have the most serious of waterbed odor issues. The cause is usually bacteria. This can either develop over time when the bed has been used without conditioner or has been introduced by way of a garden hose that has not been carefully flushed. Bacteria multiply rapidly in a warm wet environment such as a waterbed mattress. There are no guarantees but you can try the use of a waterbed shock treatment especially if the odor has permeated the vinyl. Follow the instructions exactly. This is a slow tedious process that may or may not work. If it does not you may very well be in the market for a new water bed bladder.

Always use a multi-purpose water conditioner regularly to keep the water in the mattress free from bacteria, but multi-purpose water conditioner will not fix a bacteria growth that has already started. Use of a shock treatment to clear this problem will be necessary. You will need to use the shock treatment for both the inside of the mattress, and also to wipe down the outside of the mattress, the safety liner, and the heater pad. Musty odors will permeate the vinyl to affect these other items, and if they are not treated, even though the bed had been treated, the odor will return.

An additional odor-causing source can be well water from private wells. Typically the water  is not treated and there is often high mineral content. The solution is adding a second bottle of  multi-purpose water conditioner. It  may help keep the problem to a minimum.

At Savvy Rest we understand that different people have different needs when it comes to getting a comfortable sleep, so we’ve designed a mattress that’s customizable and with this video we will show you different ways to make your choice and get the mattress that best fits your need.

Savvy Rest mattress is built in layers of naturally latex this is an example of our serenity mattress it has three layers inside and each layer is 3 inches thick. We have two kinds of latex Dunlop and Talalay, the Dunlop latex is slightly more dense which makes it firmer and more supportive, while the Talalay latex is softer and more cushy with makes it more pressure relieving. We have three different levels of firmness between Talalay and Dunlop, Firm, Medium and Soft. The main goal when you’re choosing the layers of a Savvy rest mattress is to accommodate your body needs for cushioning and also giving your back and spine the support it needs.

Just some tips and pointers, if you sleep on your back we recommend you go with something a little bit firmer, and if you sleep on your stomach we also recommend you go with something firmer. Some say firmer is better, while that is true in some cases that is true but sometimes softer is also better in some instances, if you hasve trouble falling asleep at night soft is probably better, if you have any lower back pain we recommend you go with something more firm for support. If you toss and turn a lot it’s better to have a soft top that way your muscles can relax and you’ll be able to sleep more soundly throughout the night. I’m going to show you some of our common configurations, one of our most popular is going firm, medium then adding soft, for a slightly firmer feel you can go with firm, soft, then medium. For a firmer configuration, firm, medium, medium, the firmest configuration we recommend is firm, firm, and medium. Going back to our firm medium soft, you can add medium relief and softness by adding a soft layer of Talalay, our softest configuration in Dunlop is medium soft, soft, our most Popular configuration in Talalay is Firm, medium and soft.

As you can see you can mix Dunlop and Talalay into any configuration to make the bed the best it is for you.

D: Hi my name is Dominic.

G: Hi my name is Gretchen.

D: And we’re here to show you how to assemble your savvy rest mattress

D: This is the finished product and it can be assembled and laid upon our foundations or on a platform bed like this one. Lets get started.

D:  The boxes will be marked to let you know what’s inside locate the box that has the casing in it and then set it up

G: The casing will come zipped together so always make sure the zipper is at the foot of the bed

D: Get your bottom layer bring the box close to the bed.

D:  And always pull the latex out of the box by grabbing the plastic do not grab the latex because it can tear, also tip the box over and allow it to spill out.

D: Double off latex will have a top side and a bottom side the top side has small holes the top size has large holes place the small holes facing up.

D: Use a flicking waving motion to move the latex into position.

D: Get the corners of the latex down into the corners of the casing and line the edge up with the seam of the fifing.

D: This will be a snug fit to prevent the latex from shifting around so don’t worry if you have to um push and zip squeeze it in tightly as you go along.

D: Then as a final step locate the fifing underneath and give it a gentle tug to make sure all the slack is taken up that maybe underneath the mattress so that it is coming out to the edge as much as possible giving your mattress a well rounded finish.

D: And there you go.

Stopping Mattresses Movement

How To Stop Mattress Movement

Mattresses sliding off the box spring foundations may be one of the most annoying things to happen with the exception of your neighbor deciding to cut the grass at 7:00 am on the morning you get to sleep in late. While the dealing with the neighbor may be a potential Hatfield and McCoy situation, your mattress slipping of its foundation is an easy problem to resolve. So what causes a mattress to slide? While the problem is not a big one in the overall picture of mattress difficulties some models are more vulnerable than others as you will see.

One sided mattresses slip

Truthfully not so much, first of all most of today’s newer mattresses are one sided and have gripping non skid surfaces that are abrasive and rough surfaced just like the top of the boxspring foundation. When the bottom surface of the mattress comes into contact with the top half of the foundation everything generally stays in place and stops mattress movement.

Two Sided mattresses that move and slide out of place

Rare to find today the old flippable innerspring mattresses had two sides. While this seems like a good thing just remember  that silky smooth fabric that makes the mattress feel so good also sometimes allows the mattress to race out from underneath you. These old classics didn’t and don’t have that advantage of the one side being non skid. This sometimes causes the bed to slide out of it’s position.

How to stop the mattress from sliding and moving

There is a solution to the moving mattress situation and it’s no further than your local department store, big box hardware center or store that sells area rugs. The answer is a simple non skid rubber rug gripper pad. It is that simple. The key is size, so don’t buy a piece that is too small. Be sure to measure the width and length of your mattress set. Find the closest correlating size and if need be cut the rubber non skid safety material down to size with a pair of scissors. While this may seem overly simple and somewhat silly it gets the job done on the cheap. The same solution used to keep tools from sliding around in a fancy tool box drawer or to line the cabinets that keep your dishes and glasses from easily moving around can be the solid stable solution to keep a mattress from sliding around.
