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..
Tanning Beds: History and Advice
Tanning beds were brought to North America by German scientist Friedrich Wolff in 1978 and rose to popularity in the mid-1980s. Since then, tanning beds have been a common way to tan without having to spend hours and hours in the sun's unpredictable radiation.
Make no mistake: the ultraviolet light used in tanning beds is almost exactly the same kind of ultraviolet light that comes from the sun, and therefore comes with the same risks. But if you understand how tanning beds work and how to use them without abusing them, tanning beds can be a great way to get that perfect olive or bronze hue you've been yearning for.
All conventional tanning beds have lamps that produce ultraviolet radiation ? both UVB and UVA rays. The UVB rays are accountable for stimulating production of the naturally occurring skin pigment melanin.
