I just spent last weekend at Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 2006. I thought about reviewing it in this blog but after I started putting down my thoughts I saw that I had so much material that I put it all up on a separate web page – My Days at Yanik Silver’s Underground Seminar 2006.

Healthy Foundations Memory Foam Mattress Topper was chosen “Best Value” by the Wall Street Journal in their article on memory foam mattress pads.
What a weekend – it started out with a bang on Friday when the Wall Street Journal ran an article on memory foam mattress topper pads and named our topper pad “Best Value”. Then I spent the weekend at an Internet Marketing Seminar while Brian got hit with the calls and emails. All in all it has been great publicity for our topper pad, and you can read the article at The ABCs of Getting Some Zs .

We’ve spent a lot of time over the last couple of years looking at covers for our memory foam mattress topper pads. And finally we’ve found one that we really like that works well with memory foam. The trick to getting the right cover is that you don’t want a cover that is too thick or has much quilting because that will impede the feel of the memory foam a bit. And since most people already have a thin, quilted mattress pad that they can use over the memory foam topper, we only wanted to carry a cover if it provided a real benefit over the standard, thin quilted covers.

We got this testimonial the other day, and it tickled us so much that we wanted to share it with you all:
“Hi there, Just a quick note about your mattress topper that we received last night. Put it this way, I woke up at 5:45am and couldnt get back to sleep. My husband was awake too. We chated for a few minutes and i tried to get back to sleep but couldnt. I WASNT TIRED!!!! I realized i slept like a rock so deeply that i actually woke up refreshed!! So thats what it feels like???? I got the topper for my husband for christmas. He can’t get comfortable no matter what since having a disk removed last August. He absolutely raved about how comfortable he was last night, he can’t wait for the weekend so he can sleep in!!!! Thank you for your product and for a good night sleep- finally!!
I’m always careful to caution people about whether our memory foam mattress topper pad will help with their back pain. There are just too many different causes of back pain, and so sometimes the topper pad can help and sometimes it doesn’t. My experience with customers has been that about 80 – 85% of the time, the topper pad helps with back pain (in the case where the underlying mattress is overly firm). And my own personal experience is that memory foam helped my back feel much less painful in the mornings.

I’ve shied away from using video on my site for a number of years – the quality of the video just wasn’t very good, download time was pretty long, and I didn’t want to have video just to have video. I only wanted to use video if the user experience would be good and also the video would offer something beyond what the text of the site had to offer.

Once in awhile we get a question on whether our memory foam mattress topper pad would work well on a futon. Here’s a question on this we got today:
Question:
“I own a futon that’s just too uncomfortable for me but works fine for my husband. Do you have any idea if the toppers work on futons or if it’s simply not the right base for them?”

Here is our answer from our Memory Foam Mattress Topper Pad Information Page:

Here’s a question we had today from someone wanting to know if our memory foam sleeps hot:
Question:
“I enjoyed your website and found it very informative, but have one question. I have a too firm mattress about 2 years old and have tried various toppers, including a memory foam topper that I bought at Linens and things. It was comfortable at first, but became unbearably hot throughout the night, and I’m usually very cold-natured!. I had to throw it out and now have an alternative down topper that’s better than just the mattress, but I am very achy in the morning and toss and turn all night. … My husband can sleep on almost anything, but if the topper’s too hot, it’s just not going to work. I didn’t see any testimonials about temperature. Can you give me some info??”
Since September, 2005, memory foam prices to retailers have risen dramatically – many retailers have seen price increases of over 50% in just one month. The reasons behind this price increase have to do with severe shortages of key components for making polyurethane foam. This is just one other offshoot of the damage done by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Both Hurricanes severely damaged the only plants in the US that make one particular key component (called TDI), and while these plants are getting back on line industry experts warn that these shortages may last for a year or longer. And they are also warning that prices may never come down – these price increases may well be permanent.
