Sleep and Health – Tips To Choose Bed / Mattresses

Posted on: 25 October, 2010 - Category: Bedroom, Room, Tips & Guide by:

Currently, many brands and types of mattresses available in the market. This is helpful for potential buyers because of the many options to consider. But at the same time, a mattress that is less product knowledge because often times cause of regret to the purchase of which has been done. Often, because of the popularity of the product or brand is a major concern, not the functions and characteristics of the product.

Sleep is one of the basic human needs. Without enough sleep and quality, we will experience health problems and even mental disorders. Because at the time of sleep, we experience recovery and development (physically and mentally). With high quality and sufficient sleep, you will wake up more refreshed and ready to face the challenges of tomorrow with a lot better.

Then how do I choose a good mattress for no one choose? Do not drift. Because buying a mattress that is the tendency or buy a famous brand mattress does not always mean you buy a mattress that fits your needs.

Factors of you that need to be considered in choosing a mattress:
- Body size and weight
- Temperature of the bed and the atmosphere of your room
- Allergy and sensitivity to environmental disturbances
- Impaired bone health that you have
- How long do you want to use these mattresses

Do not be influenced by advertising or excessive discount. We need to consider factors important for ourselves to be considered when choosing brands and mattress manufacturers, such as:
- How long a mattress manufacturer in Indonesia present
- Long life time warranty mattress and mattress
- What about After-Sales Support it, easy or difficult
- Innovation of what is done by manufacturers of mattresses
- Do you see a mattress that has advantages in accordance with the price offered.
- The weakness of the product. All brands are not going to advertise their products weaknesses, but the voice of the user who then would be the advantages or disadvantages testimonials of these products.

Let us answer these questions one by one:
1. To choose a good mattress for you, should you see the size and even your body weight. For weight, thicker mattresses, will generally be more able to support the user’s weight. But with a body size that is different, to consider also the size of mattresses to suit your body. If you are over 200cm tall, then you should use a mattress with a non-standard size for your whole body can be supported by the mattress, so you can rest more perfect.

Market is the most common mattress spring and latex mattresses. Both have different characteristics. Spring mattresses generally have a limited size, while the latex mattresses can be adjusted for body weight and height of the user by selecting the appropriate thickness with your body weight and size that will fit your body size (height and weight).

2. Indonesia’s tropical temperatures typically have only a temperature difference that is not too drastic as in European countries, but with the hot temperatures in the dry season and the tendency of cold and humid in the rainy season, can cause sleep discomfort. Choose a mattress that can adjust the temperature so that we sleep more comfortably.

Do not choose a mattress that is absorbs moisture or water because it will give problems to the skin, it can even cause health problems if used for long period of time. Foam mattress or a mattress that has a layer of foam has a moisture absorption is high enough. Please note these characteristics for the health. Ask the seller to demonstrate if you feel this is necessary.

3. With increasingly severe levels of pollution in Jakarta Metropolitan city, allergy becomes a common problem, especially in children. Choose a mattress that has the ability to relieve your allergies or who are hypo-alergenis. Nature of hypo-alergenis this will increase your comfort during sleep.

For now, the only proven latex mattress hypo-alergenis. Raw materials other mattress has not been independently tested (tested by an independent party that has nothing to do with the manufacturer).

4. With work and life habits of an increasingly fast and busy, we become less attention to good practice daily. Bone disorders are one of the consequences. Diseases such as back muscles are pinched, too brittle bones, osteoporosis, bone tergerusnya young, and others cause discomfort during sleep. Selection of a mattress that has the characteristics of “solid and flat” became a necessity. Even better if prevented early.

The density and elasticity mattress is a major factor in terms of power strut back. Note elasticity mattress when you try to sleep on these mattresses. If you feel your posture as you stand at a comfortable sleep (no body parts are depressed are not normal), this is a sign that the mattress is to support the spine and the curve of the body so that the joints of the spine is in neutral position (do not collide and rub against each other during sleep). These characteristics can help prevent spine disorders.

5. What is the price, appearance, and the excess mattress fit? Ask in detail prior to purchase because the purchase price is not cheap mattress is a long term investment (minimum 7 years).

Often times we buy not because of the quality of the product but the emotional appeal of the product appearance. Same thing if we want to watch movies, generally we see who the players from the film. Because the mattress is something that our bodies use ¼ to 1 / 3 of our lives, should consider carefully whether the appearance mattress balanced with quality content from the mattress and whether your needs can be met by the mattress? For example, mattresses per / spring type bonnel often packaged with a soft cloth and attractive and also has a cheap price, but if you have any problems with the spine, then this type of mattress should be avoided because it is generally soft.

Beware, lest you mistakenly select the mattress because it can be bad for physical and mental health. Hopefully helpful.

Solar Cooling – Air Conditioning From the Sun

Posted on: 11 December, 2009 - Category: General, Room by:

At first glance, solar cooling looks like an oxymoron. However, the same energy that can provide heat in the wintertime can also provide cooling during the summer.

Several passive cooling systems have been developed and tested. At their simplest, they rely on a coolant that absorbs and dissipates heat from the house. This could be a pool of water on the rooftop which absorbs seat from the inside of the house as it evaporates on exposure to the sun.

More sophisticated passive solar cooling systems have a solar collector which is shaded during the daytime. A storage medium collects heat during the day and dissipates it at night by exposing the solar collector to the cool night air.

Since the solar collector must be shaded, a retractable awning or overhang extension can be installed. Since the system can be reversed in the winter months, it is important that the solar collector can be exposed to sunshine if needed.

Solar panels can also be used to operate traditional air conditioners. As it happens, the periods of intense heat correspond to the periods of peak electricity production from photovoltaic cells. As long as you have solar panels which generate sufficient to electricity, you can operate air conditioners at no cost.

Solar cooling that does not take advantage of high technology is another possibility. The Romans used a system of running water to cool down exterior walls of their houses. The heat of the sun causes the water to evaporate and dissipate the heat within the house. This kind of system can be used on walls or on rooftops.

Heating and cooling are two of the biggest expenses for most households. Using solar energy to reduce this expense makes sense financially as well as ecologically. The less dependent we are on fossil fuels for heating and cooling the cleaner the environment will be. (by: Hans Dekker)

Prevent Water Damage in the Laundry Room

Posted on: 27 October, 2009 - Category: Room, Tips & Guide by:

The washer and drier are usually located in the laundry room and create heat and moisture. Simple maintenance is required to help avoiding water problems and mold.

The Washer
The washer is connected to both cold and hot water lines. Check them frequently. Start with the joints and fix a leak if you find it. Be sure to check both ends of the water lines. Clean or replace the filters once in a while. A blocked filter will slow the water flow into the washing machine, and may cause some malfunctions. This problem is worse in areas with “hard water”. Inspect the shut off valve by looking for drips into the washing machine while it is not in use. If you detect a leak, replace the valve.

Hoses & Filters

Like in most appliances, problems often start in the hose. Keep at least 4 inches between the water connection and the back of the washer. This space will prevent the hose from kinking and bursting. Check the hoses and replace them if old. Consider installing steel-braided hoses.

The Dryer
The dryer is connected to a ventilation hose. Check it carefully. The dryer ventilation hose must be connected to the outdoors. Search for lint behind and under the dryer and make sure the vent pipe is not clogged. Make the exhaust short as possible for the dryer to vent efficiently,

Utility Sink
The utility sink is sometimes the source for water related problems. Search for leaks under the sink. A drip in the trap under the sink can be a sign for problems and should be repaired immediately. Slow draining pipes may indicate a partially blocked drain. A constantly dripping faucet must me repaired promptly. Replace sink seals if they are cracked or loose. Damped or stained walls around plumbing pipes indicate an internal leak that must be fixed before additional damage occurs
