Great selection of Memory foam mattresses at eBeds

by

At some point in the near future Chris and I will probably get a new bed for our guest room. The bed that’s currently in there was the one that we used in our apartment before we got our house. It’s a double bed. When we bought our house we finally had a bedroom big enough for a queen sized bed so the old bed was saved for the guest room.

A few weeks ago when Chris and I were out shopping I had a chance to lie on a bed with a memory foam mattress and I loved it. Heck … maybe we’ll get one for our bedroom let alone the guest bedroom!

After trying out the bed in the department store I decided to take a look online to see if I could find any companies that sold quality memory foam beds. Through my search I found ebed.com. They sell Bragada mattresses. In fact, Bragada is apparently the only Memory foam mattress in the world to have earned the Orthopedic Research Seal of Approval.

Ever since I first heard about memory foam mattress I had wondered if they offered as much support as traditional mattresses, however after looking at the ebed website I now know that the Tempurpedic Mattress has been constructed with spinal support in mind.

I’m actually very impressed with how well the Tempur-pedic mattresses are made. There are several different styles of memory foam beds to choose from at ebeds.com. When you are viewing information about each of the mattresses you’ll see that there are diagrams showing how each bed is constructed and how each mattress will support your body. The features of each mattress are highlighted as well.

Did you know that when you sleep on a memory foam mattress you’ll have full body pressure relief, no motion transfer, lower and mid back support, reduced tossing and turning, increased body circulation and proper spinal alignment. The mattresses are also anti-mite and anti-allergy. That would be great for both Chris and I as we are both allergic to dust mites.

At Ebeds.com you’ll not only find Tempurpedic memory foam mattresses, but you’ll also find memory foam mattress toppers, adjustable beds, and even RV mattresses. They also offer free delivery Nationwide.

I’m seriously considering getting a memory foam mattress now after viewing the ebeds website. I’d love to hear your experiences with memory foam mattresses if you use one.





Warnings on instructions most ridiculous I’ve seen

by

Chris and I finally got around to putting in our new window air conditioner on Saturday. Ok, well Chris put it in all I did was read the directions after he installed it. LOL

I took a look at the instruction booklet because I wanted to find out what the Dry setting was on the air conditioner. I’ve never had an air conditioner with a dry mode on it and you know what? The instructions never explained what it was so I’m still clueless.

What I did find in the booklet was the craziest set of warnings that I’ve ever seen! Geez, it made me feel like we should have each called for a life insurance quote and perhaps made sure our wills were in order.

Lets see there was a warning about the batteries for the remote. Specifically –

If you eat the liquid from the batteries, brush your teeth and see doctor.

Huh … who eats battery liquids and how much liquid is in a small AA battery anyway?

Here’s another one – Do not drink water drained from Air conditioner.

The list goes on. I’ve seen some odd and often humorous warnings on electrical appliance instructions before, but almost every warning in this air conditioner booklet is strange. Do they really think people are that stupid? Honestly?

Do you still use old fashioned window air conditioners?

by

We living in an older home. It was built in 1927! It’s well built but overall I don’t think the previous occupants did much to change the home. It’s heated with oil so we have an old oil furnace and of course that means no built in air conditioning. I’m sure we could add air conditioning but I think we’ll be replacing the furnace soon anyway so we might as well wait.

So … we use window air conditioners to keep our house cool in the summer. Unfortunately when my husband put them in earlier this month during the heat wave that we had here we discovered that one of the air conditioners (the cheapest one we bought) was no longer producing cold air. It worked more like a fan instead. We figured that the ac compressor is probably shot.

Since it was a cheap unknown brand air conditioner we decided that rather than try to repair it we’d just replace it with a new one so we bought a new air conditioner this weekend. Good price too. Luckily it’s cool here right now because we still haven’t installed the new air conditioner. The other one will cool the house, but two work better for this house.

Does anyone else still use clunky heavy window air conditioners?

Need to find better ways to cool our home

by

Now that it’s finally get warm outside here in Toronto I’ve come to realize that we need to find a better way to keep the house cool in the summer.

We have window air conditioners, but they seem to only cool half the house. If I go upstairs into the non- air conditioned spare bedroom on the south side of the house it’s almost as hot as if we didn’t have any air conditioning at all. Same for our kitchen which also faces south.

I have curtains in the kitchen and a roman blind in the spare bedroom, but I’m thinking about getting some wood blinds so that I can use them to block some of the strong sunlight that comes into both of those rooms in the morning and early afternoon.

I figure if I can keep those two rooms a little cooler the rest of the house will be cooler too and perhaps we might even be able to turn the air conditioning down a notch or two.

Beautiful interior wood doors for your home

by

I believe that one day I’ll be able to say that we’ve completely renovated just about every inch of our home. I’ve made plans for each area and completed a number of major renovations so far, however it will still likely be a few years before I can make my claim.

One of the areas I’ve yet to address are interior and exterior doors. Our home was built in 1927 and I believe all of the interior doors are the original doors – complete with ancient hardware. Needless to say, doors that are 81 years old tend to have several coats of paint and a number of dings in them! As much as I like our doors I think we might replace a few of them. The rest I’ll try to refinish.

If you happen to be revamping or renovating your home you might want to take a look at the selection of Interior Wood Doors at Hardwood Door & Bevel.

Not only does Hardwood Door & and Bevel have a wide selection of beautifully designed interior and exterior hardwood doors, wrought iron doors, French doors, bevels, windows and hardware they will also create a custom door for you if you need a very specific height or width or have a custom design in mind.

As I said our house was built in the 1920’s and the interior and entry doors are narrower than those in more modern homes. We might well have to get a custom door ourselves, or at the very least trim to sides of a pre-made door.

I spent some time on the site looking over the various styles of doors which range from hardwood doors of Oak, Maple, Mahogany, Cherry and distressed Alder to wrought iron and Rio Tuscany doors, solid MDF doors and various collections listed by brand and or style of door and I was pleased with the designs.

I also took a look at some of the custom doors that they’ve created and in a word they are gorgeous. Seriously. If you need a new door or believe that you might want to have a custom made door in the future do take the time to visit the site and bookmark it. I think you’ll be as pleased with the selection as I was!
