More on Matts
OK - since folks have been leaving questions in the comments I'm just gonna clear a few things up on Mattresses.
Mattress Pads. Use 'em. Not for any other reason than to protect the fabric of your matt. Cause what you may not know is that if there is ANY stain, no matter how small, on your mattress it voids the warranty. Null. Void. No matter how much the damned thing breaks down, if there's a stain I cannot take it back. Period.
And those damned things are too expensive to take that chance. Spend the $30 on a good cover/pad and chalk it up to insurance.
So - use 'em.
Also - they do PROTECT you from the dust mites, because you can wash them. Washing and drying DOES get rid of those bastards. So it helps. They're still in your traditional mattress, but not up against you.
Oh - and another thing. That memory foam, and latex? Yeah, the damned critters can't live in there either. Under? Yes. In? No.
OK - hopefully that clears up a couple of the questions.
Glad I could help! :-)

EXACTLY.....
And try bein' the person, in THEIR room, pointing it out.
It's why I don't do home inspections anymore......

Our Sterns and Fosters (2nd one, 1st one shot to hell in 1 year, replaced by factory, pee stains and all) has a "layer" of the memory foam crap and now there is an impression on my side in which I get caught in and can't roll over to the other side of the bed without help.
Posted by: Quality Weenie at July 3, 2007 11:21 AMI think it's even worth it to spend $45 to get the super-ultra-anti-microbial mattress pad. I'm a germaphobe, yes. Why do you ask?
Posted by: sarahk at July 3, 2007 11:26 AMBut WHY do even the pricey mattresses get depressions? [I'm like an old dog with a meaty bone, eh?] We went all out on an expensive mattress and *bam* dips. They came back out and got it, we got our money back and went somewhere else. If they're gonna get dips anyway, I'll go with something cheaper. :/
At least I can feel good about my pad. :D

One thing my Select Comfort will never have is dust mites
Posted by: GeorgeH at July 3, 2007 02:32 PMooo, If we are going to recommend sheets, I'd go with 800 thread count Egyptian cotton!
