Need a free mattress?

Pinellas Park, Florida - A Bay area company wants to give away 200 new mattresses to people who need them this holiday season.

For every mattress that Mattress and Furniture Wholesalers sells, they'll donate a free mattress to a charity that needs it. So far, they've sold 14 mattresses this holiday season. Their goal is to sell 200.

"We're trying to get a mattress under everyone who's sleeping on the floor right now," said George Brooks IV. "Of the four things you need -- food, water, air -- a good place to sleep is really one of them."

The company, operated out of a warehouse on 66^th Street North in Pinellas Park, is owned by a father and his son.

And they say this giveaway isn't about publicity.


"Actually, [on about] 20 percent, we'll actually lose money for the mattresses we give away, but it's not about the money," said George Brooks III.

The Brooks are looking for a charity that will take the mattresses and distribute them to people who need them.

If you'd like to help out, or if you'd like a mattress, call Mattress and Furniture Wholesalers at 727-755-0660 or visit the warehouse at 6715 66^th Street North in Pinellas Park.

Mattress Firm acquires 26 Mattress Discounters stores

Industry veteran Roger Magowitz sells Virginia, North Carolina stores

Larry Thomas -- Furniture Today, December 2, 2010

HOUSTON — Top 100 retailer Mattress Firm has acquired 26 Mattress Discounters stores in Virginia and North Carolina from mattress industry veteran Roger Magowitz. Magowitz has operated the business since 1986 under a licensing agreement with the Richmond, Va.-based Mattress Discounters chain, and the newly acquired stores will retain the Mattress Discounters name.

The stores are in the Virginia Beach, Va., and Hampton Roads, Va., markets.

Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

"We are excited to bring these well-established locations into the Mattress Firm network," said Steve Stagner, CEO of Houston-based Mattress Firm. "This is a great opportunity to combine our scale with an experienced and proven leadership team to continue to grow the Mattress Discounters business."

Stagner said Magowitz will join Mattress Firm in the newly created post of charitable advisor. He will spearhead the retailer's charitable and philanthropic efforts and continue to focus on the Seena Magowitz Foundation, an organization he founded several years ago to raise money for pancreatic cancer research.
Seena Magowitz, Roger Magowitz's mother, died of pancreatic cancer in 2001, and the foundation's annual celebrity golf classic is this weekend in Scottsdale, Ariz.

"We are glad that Roger will have an ongoing role at Mattress Firm. He is an icon of the bedding and furniture industry and has done a phenomenal job building a successful business," Stagner said.

Magowitz said he "couldn't be more pleased to have a company like Mattress Firm carry on what I started more than 25 years ago."

"Mattress Firm is a great cultural fit and it is especially gratifying that the people that have been with me for so long will get an opportunity to work for such a wonderful company," he added.
Mattress Firm has more than 600 stores in 22 states.

What is an Insanely Comfortable, Soft Mattress?

Looking for a very comfortable and very soft mattress? There are a lot of these around. Simmons Mattress Company is purported to have the softest and the plushest mattress around. If you have seen that commercial of a bowling bowl dropped on a mattress, it is from this company.

An innerspring mattress is usually softer than other types of mattress like air, latex and especially memory foam (these ones are usually very firm). The more innersprings integrated in the mattress, the softer it gets. This is because the springs integrated are not as thick.

If you want an even softer mattress surface, you can always go for a wool fleece mattress pad. This will complete your craving for an ultra soft mattress. The key there is in the materials used. Pick those that are made form soft materials such as fleece, cotton and satin.
You might also want to go for water beds. Since water conforms seamlessly to body contours, it will surely have the softness you want. Another advantage to this mattress is that you can heat it up during winter so it is even more comfortable.

There is a point to ponder on though. While these mattresses may seem like the most comfortable mattress in the world, it is still not a good idea to solely rely on softness for comfort. In fact, most people who purchased a very soft bed could not sleep on it because it triggers the development of back aches.

Your back, especially your upper body needs more support. That means, it requires more mattress firmness on that area. Just a suggestion, instead of purchasing a plush bed, consider your body type and what your body really needs. Soft does not really equate to comfort in the mattress industry.

Opt for those beds with a combination of plushness and firmness just like talalay latex. It is a softer kind of latex mattress. This will give you a balanced firmness and softness. If you want to make it a lot softer as you are used to that kind of bed, you can always place a wool fleece pad on top of it.

This is a point you should consider before you buy a mattress. But whatever you do, make sure that it is really the right mattress that will address your body and sleep concerns. Consider comfort and support above everything else so you will end up with the best mattress.

Do You Have Bed Bug Infestation And Not Know It?

photo credit: Bedzine

For most individuals they never consider that when they return home from vacation they may be bringing something more than just souvenirs and fond memories. Bed bugs can easily make their way from one locale to another just by grabbing onto a persons clothing.

Most people have absolutely no idea what a bed bug is and how to identify when you have a problem with them. Bed bugs are difficult to see with the naked eye because they are so small. In fact, an adult bed bug is no more than about a quarter of an inch in length.

Bed bugs survive by eating off of warm blooded animals. That is why they so enjoy nestling into the warmth of bed sheets. Many people do not even realize that they have a problem with these small critters at first. It can take months of bites before they are aware that they are being eaten by these bugs each night.

One of the main reasons that it can take people some time to realize that they have a bed bug problem is that the bugs do not show themselves during daylight hours. They hide under floor boards or behind furniture until the lights go out. Once the individual is fast asleep the bugs make their way close to the sleeper and start to feed.

The bites of bed bugs closely resemble the bites that you might expect to get from something like a mosquito. A small, reddish bump may appear on the skin and in some cases it can produce a slight itching reaction as well.

If you do suspect that you have bed bugs you will need to put on your detective cap. There are several places to check to see if you do have this problem. One is right in your bed. Remove the blankets and thoroughly check the sheets. Look in any creases and under the pillows. While you are searching keep in mind that you may find evidence of the bed bugs but not the actual bugs. Bed bugs leave waste material that is either a dark brown or reddish color.

Getting rid of bed bugs can prove to be a challenge. The reason is that the bugs tend to lay eggs in discreet places. The first step you need to take is to throw out all bedding and consider replacing your mattress. After you have done this you need to thoroughly clean the room. Remove any clutter and vacuum all exposed areas. You should also remove any desk or dresser drawers and clean beneath and behind them.

Dealing with bed bugs can be difficult but it is certainly not impossible. Once you discover that you are sharing your home with these unwanted visitors take the necessary steps to rid yourself of them forever.
