I found this interesting article about how, even after the alcohol is out of a one’s system, it still causes impairment. The study was done in a test facility with young adults between the ages of 21 and 33 (most likely age to overindulge) and was done with alcohol and placebos. The researchers determined blood alcohol levels, sleep patterns, and the ability to think quickly over a long period of time.

For the last 10 – 15 years or so, most mattresses have been sold with what is now called a foundation. This is the part of the mattress set that used to be called “box springs,” based on its construction.
A contemporary foundation is basically a rigid platform that your mattress sits on top of. In many cases, your current foundation can be used with your new memory foam mattress. This is a great way to save money when buying a memory foam mattress in today’s tough economy.

Before buying a memory foam mattress or topper, check to see if the retailer is a member of, and monitored by, recognized third party organizations like the Better Business Bureau and www.Shopping.com. Having a third party organization gather data, opinions, and testimonials about a retailer allows you to see the retailer completely, without the rose-colored glasses and filtered testimonials you see on the websites and in the literature of many retailers.
A warranty of 10 years is one way that you can gauge the durability of a memory foam mattress and how much its manufacturer is willing to back up its product.
In judging a warranty, at least 5 years of that 10-year warranty should be non-prorated, meaning you will get 100% of the repair or replacement taken care of for the first 5 years of the warranty. A prorated warranty means that after a designated number of years, the manufacturer will pay a portion of the mattress replacement or repair. A 10-year warranty that has 5 years non-prorated and 5 years prorated means that for the first 5 years, you are covered 100%. For the second 5 years, you will pay a predetermined portion of the replacement or repair.

When it comes to buying a memory foam mattress, one of the most important things to look for is a retailer that offers a true money-back guarantee. When I say money-back guarantee I mean that you will actually get your money back if your memory foam mattress doesn’t work for you and you want to return it. Many memory foam mattress retailers offer what is called a “comfort guarantee.” A comfort guarantee is just a slick way of telling you that you are getting a store credit. You definitely don’t want a store credit or comfort guarantee and here’s why…

If you have watched the news for even five minutes lately, you know the economy is tough right now. (You don’t have to see the news to know that, you just have to live on the planet!) So how do you save money on your memory foam mattress in a tough economy?
A major way to save money on your memory foam mattress is to “Think Outside the ‘Leading Brand’ Box.” If you are even thinking about a memory foam mattress (or even if you’re not) you undoubtedly know what the famous “leading brand” of memory foam mattress is. It’s obviously the one that spends millions of dollars on its advertising and branding. Does this mean it’s the best mattress for your buck? Only if you want your buck to go to “leading brand’s” big budget advertising campaign!
