		<title>Commonly Available Cotton Sheets and Bedding May Be a Severe Health Risk</title>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother used to tell me, "There are two things in life for which you should spare no expense, your bed and your shoes." Her reasoning was that if you are not in your bed, then you must be in your shoes, and your health and quality of life is greatly affected by either one. In this article I will discuss the first half of this equation, the health of your bed, which affects all aspects of your physical and mental performance.I have written other articles on the importance of using an organic mattress, but it is equally important to use organic sheets, pillowcases and blankets on top of your bed because your bedding makes direct contact with your body for 8 hours every night. Just as using a natural mattress protects you from the toxic effects of petrochemical foams and polyester in conventional mattresses, organic bedding protects you from harmful chemicals present in most commercial bedding.I am sure you are thinking, "My current bedding is fine, it can't harm me, especially if I would wash it and change it more often." While I can't help you wash and change your bed more often, you need to know that most commercially available sheets and pillowcases are made from a 50/50 blend of conventionally grown cotton and polyester, which is not safe. Let me explain why:Cotton is a very useful fiber that has many good qualities: It is hypoallergenic, it wicks away moisture well for a nice dry feel, it is relatively soft, and it washes and dries well. But cotton is also the most heavily sprayed crop on earth and 25% of the world's pesticides are used for cotton production. These pesticide residues build up in cotton as it grows, and they can be transferred directly to your bedding when it is made from non-organic cotton. Once you sleep on this contaminated cotton, pesticide residue can pass through your skin and into your body.Non-organic cotton is bad enough, but the polyester, which comprises the other 50% of your 50/50 blend bedding, is made from petrochemicals that shouldn't be anywhere near your body. Polyester contains chemicals caused phthalates, which are used to make the fibers more flexible, and these chemicals mimic the female hormone estrogen in the human body. Constant exposure to phthalates and other plasticizers in food containers, dinnerware, polyester upholstery and other sources, has been linked to cancers and the dramatic drop in male fertility that has happened during the last 60 years. Polyester also traps water vapor, which causes night sweats, jock itch and athlete's foot. It is included in sheets because it is inexpensive and makes sheets more durable and wrinkle-free. But is this worth the potential health consequences?The solution to this problem is to use organic cotton sheets and pillowcases on your bed. As the concern has grown over the pesticides in conventionally grown cotton and the phthalates in polyester, organic cotton bedding has become more widely available. Organic grown cotton is now being produced worldwide, from Texas to India. The organic cotton is woven into sheets and pillowcases that look and feel like commercially available bedding, without the pesticides and the polyester. I also find these sheets to be much more comfortable for sleeping because they don't trap moisture like 50/50 cotton/polyester blends.Better organic sheets are pre-shrunk using steam and are totally machine washable and dryable. They have just a few more wrinkles out of the dryer than the 50/50 blends, but that is a small price to pay for a healthy bed. We can all live with some wrinkles, but we may not be able to live with cancer.Manufacturers of organic cotton bedding include:-Coyuchi, located in Point Reyes Station, California, which imports organic cotton bedding and bath linens from India.-EcoDownUnder, which is located in Sydney, Australia, which imports organic cotton bedding and bath linens to the United States.-Native Organic, located in El Segundo, California, which makes organic cotton bedding and bath linens from Texas-grown organic cotton.-Under the Canopy, located in Boca Raton, Florida, which makes organic cotton sheets and towels that are imported from Brazil, as well as organic cotton clothing.Organic cotton sheets, pillowcases, mattress pads, and blankets from these manufacturers are now being sold across the United States through local retailers that specialize in natural fiber bedding. There are also a number of nationwide Internet retailers for organic cotton sheets and bedding, and one of the largest is Dax Stores.Organic cotton sheets and bedding cost a little more than conventional bedding, but, like my mother said, you shouldn't be afraid to spare some expense your bedding because it will repay you with better health. I think your health is worth that extra expense, and so would my Mom, bless her heart.. ]]></description>

		<title>Buying Custom Baby Bedding and Pre-made Baby Nursery Bedding,</title>

		<description><![CDATA[When a new baby is on its way, the first thing a new parent thinks about is how to make the baby most comfortable when they arrive into their new world. A lot of effort goes into building the perfect ?nest;' i.e., nursery, and one of the most important items in a nursery is a baby's bedding. Because babies are so susceptible to their surrounding environment, where and how a baby sleeps can make all the difference in how they rest. 

It is important to invest wisely in proper baby bedding. This means materials that are soft, resilient, light, and warm on a baby's skin, and sheets that fit as snugly as possible over a firm, snug mattress.  This also means no quilts, comforters or pillows, as they are considered risk factors in sudden infant death syndrome. There are two options when buying baby bedding: pre-made baby bedding and custom baby bedding.

Pre-made baby bedding is a great, cost effective way to buy for your baby. If you do decide to use pre-made baby bedding, a good idea is to pick the bedding before anything else in the nursery or bedroom. This way you can design around the bedding, which often makes it easier to manage. 
	
The problem many new parents face is that they may not be able to find exactly what they want, and will put it off, looking for the perfect match for a nursery or bedroom theme.  Pretty soon the baby comes along, and the parents still haven't chosen the bedding; they are now rushing to throw something together, and are unhappy with what they get. While this isn't always the case, it is for many people. Others are happy and find what they need quickly, but for those that are having trouble, there is always custom-made baby bedding.

Custom baby bedding is great, especially if you can't find a material you want, a pattern you like, or design element you require. Custom baby bedding can be manufactured to any and all specifications you have, and that is what makes it so great. You have full say in layout, looks and design, ensuring the uniqueness of your baby bedding and your happiness with finding exactly what you need. 

This also creates less stress, because you will pick your design and layout, order it, and wait for it to arrive. This save saves you time and energy that can be better spent elsewhere. While you may fear that custom-made bedding is very expensive, many manufacturers are very reasonable, and are worth at least a call or an email.

Buying baby bedding is a very personal and individual experience for most people, and getting exactly what you want is important.  Whether you decide on pre-made or custom baby bedding, the most important thing is that you are happy and satisfied with your choice.  Make sure you do the research and find out what materials are out there (cotton jersey is a great one) and what's available for new parents.

The ergonomic non-slip foam grip is one of the Terra CF's best features, with a paw-shaped "Ergo" cork knob on the top, which fits perfectly in the palm of the hand for increased downhill control.

		<description><![CDATA[El Paso, TX (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) March 30, 2006 -- It seems America is having major trouble sleeping.  And although the consumer has received sleep tips from various sources, some of this advice is just not practical.  We have compiled a list of 25 common sense suggestions that will help us all get a better nights sleep.DISCLAIMER:  These tips are for information and entertainment only and are not intended as medical advice.  If you have a serious sleep disorder, please consult a physician.1.  Turn off the lights.  This is obvious but sometimes we fall asleep with the lights on.  Our bodies rejuvenate better in darkness, so take a moment to turn off your bedside lamp before you drift away.2.  Dont go to sleep on an empty stomach.  If you skipped lunch and dinner, then have a light supper such as a soup, sandwich or a snack before bedtime.  Its impossible to fall asleep with hunger pangs.  Cookies and milk work nicely before bedtime too.3.  Drink a nice hot cup of herbal tea.  Make sure it doesnt contain caffeine.  Chamomile is highly recommended, but you can try something different as long as its herbal.  Or drink a cup of hot cocoa.4.  Try not to argue or get upset before bedtime.  Dont watch the evening news as they are depressing.  Try not to worry about problems.  Watch the news in the morning after youve had your sleep.5.  Dont sleep with your pets.  Keep your pets in another area of your home or outside while you are sleeping.  Dont allow your pets to jump onto your bed at any time.  Train them to stay in their own spaces.  6.  Take a hot bath.  Either a bubble (soaking) bath or a shower bath.  This helps in two ways -- it makes you feel fresh and clean and it helps to relax your muscles.7.  Get a massage.  After youve had a nice hot bath, ask your mate to give you a massage and reciprocate the favor.  If you are alone, then rub yourself down with oil or lotion and massage your arms, legs, feet and body as much as you can.8.  Dont forget to brush your teeth.  Youll feel much better when your teeth are freshly scrubbed, and this will help reduce unpleasant morning breath.9.  Start a bedtime ritual.  Establish a regular time to start getting ready for bed.  Some things to include in your ritual are soothing music, a bubble bath, brushing your hair and anything else that is relaxing and pleasant.  This prepares your mind and body for a better nights rest.  If you miss a night of your ritual, get back on track as quickly as possible.10.  Candles can be very relaxing and fragranced candles are even nicer.  Light a few candles and place them around your room.  JazzMama recommends using tea lights in votive holders as these will burn themselves out after you fall asleep.  Always practice safe candle burning habits.11.  Sleep alone.  Just because you live with someone doesnt mean that you must sleep in the same bed.  If your mate snores, kicks you, steals the covers, wakes up frequently during the night and causes you to wake up and lose sleep, consider having separate bedrooms.12.  If you are going to watch television until you fall asleep, engage your sleeper timer so that the TV shuts itself off after youre in dream land.  This way your subconscious mind wont be subjected to negativity and noise, and youll sleep better when its quiet.13.  Eliminate noise.  This is often overlooked.  Turn off televisions, stereos, telephones, remove ticking timepieces, cuckoo clocks, and any other devices that create disturbances.  Be sure to repair all dripping faucets.  Silence is golden here.14.  Buy a white noise machine.  These are relatively inexpensive and are designed to mask unwanted noises and lull you to sleep.  They replicate pleasant sounds such as rainfall, ocean waves and country breezes.15.  Make yourself comfortable.  Invest in a good quality mattress and bedding, including sheets, mattress covers, pillows and blankets.  Ensure that your bedding is fresh and that your sheets are smooth.  You will sleep so much better in a nice clean bed.16.  Replace old lumpy pillows.  Most pillows are machine washable so you should wash them as often as necessary.  If you have neck or back problems, invest in a good quality lumbar support pillow.17.  Your head should be comfortable and your hair shouldnt get in your way.  Take out any bobby pins, barrettes or rollers and remove rubber bands as these can snag your hair.18.  Ensure that your room temperature is at a comfortable setting and that you have adequate covers to keep you warm at night.  In summer, if you are comfortable with just a sheet for covers, remove excess bedding and store it away.19.  If it is safe to do so and if its not freezing outside, sleep with your window slightly open so that fresh air circulates throughout your room and you breathe easier.20.  Read a boring book.  Not an exciting page turner or thriller but a dull, boring book.  Boring magazines work well too.  Scientific and medical journals are extremely boring and are highly recommended.  If you are having trouble falling asleep, just start reading your boring book, magazine or journal and you will drift off before you know it.21.  Keep bottled water at your bedside.  In case you wake up thirsty you wont need to wake up fully to get a drink of water.22.  Do not self-medicate.  If you are suffering from a serious case of insomnia or other sleep disorder, consult your physician.  Do not use over the counter sleep medications for extended periods.  This can be detrimental to your well-being.23.  Take naps as time permits.  If you have your own office, shut the door at lunch time, turn off your phone and take a nap.  If you arent able to lie down then fold your arms on your desk and lay your head in your arms.  Your nap time should not exceed one hour.24.  If you are really really tired, take a day off from work to catch up on your sleep.  Please contact JazzMama if you cant think up any excuses for why youre not coming to work today.  If you are the boss, thats even better.25.  And finally, if you have mismatched bedroom furniture, odds and ends, and clutter in your bedroom -- its time to buy a brand new contemporary bedroom furniture set from JazzMama.comAbout JazzMamaJazzMama sells exclusively at eBay.com and offers the widest selection of contemporary platform bedroom furniture available on eBay.

		<description><![CDATA[People hear the words "air beds" and instantly think of those rather uncomfortable plastic mattresses that are often used on camping trips.  But air beds are so much more than that!  In the most common of terms, an air bed is a mattress that contains air bladder chambers, filled with air to provide support, rather than the coil string systems that are traditionally found in mattresses.  Did you know that air beds were originally created for use in hospital and medical environments, as they provide a higher level of support and reduce pressure points on the body?

There are several reasons why people select air beds over conventional mattresses.  Chiropractors claim that air beds are good for people with back and back support problems.  For couples, dual adjustable air support chambers provide each partner with just the right amount of back support and firmness on one side of the bed without disturbing the other partner's sleep.  Air beds reduce the available nesting ground suitable for dust mites.  And a standard mattress is one of the key sources of dust mites in your house.  Reducing these allergens improves your breathing, which in turn improves your sleep.

Air beds are able to mold to your body, therefore adjusting to distribute your weight evenly.  This makes for less painful pressure points bearing more weight and a better spinal alignment, giving you a more comfortable resting position.

Air beds can, however, be a bit expensive, and each type is as unique as the manufacturer.  This makes finding replacement parts for certain air beds rather difficult.  Because of this, when selecting air beds, you should look for a very lengthy or even lifetime warranty.  You should also spend a little extra to get a quality outer shell.  The outer shells on air beds are the part that will actually come into contact with your body, and therefore should be as comfortable as you can possibly get them.

Air beds aren't just those inflatable mattresses for camping trips anymore!  They're as unique as you are, with great benefits for the people that buy them.. ]]></description>
