Mattresses, pillows, blankets and comforters re­ ceive hard wear and are not easily cleaned. Simple protectors which can be laundered frequently can be purchased or made for these articles. Care of the Mattress Mattresses should be aired, beaten, and sunned every few months. This keeps the cotton fluffy and insures a soft and com­ fortable bed. The mattress must be turned from end to end and from side to side frequently. It is advisable to give the mattress a thorough beating on both sides each time it is turned. Protecting the Mattress A spring cover, mattress slip cover, and a mattress pad will keep a mattress clean. A new mattress should not be used on top of or underneath another mattress. The cotton will lose its fluffiness. A Cover for the Springs A cover for coil bed springs is excellent insurance for the long life of a mattress. It will protect the mattress from rust stains caused by the springs; it will protect the mattress from tears on rough edges of the springs; it will largely eliminate the collection of dust from the floor, making the springs easier to clean; it will make the bed warmer in the winter, since the cold air from the flo or will be cut off; and it will give the bed a more atailored" appearance. Material fo r a spring cover is not expensive. Six-ounce cotton ticking makes a good cover, as does other material which is woven closely enough to be practically dustproof. Closely woven feed or seed sacks or used canvas may be used satisfactorily when avail­ able. I n addition to t he material for the cover, tape w ill also be needed, to be used in tying the center portion of the cover to the springs. Two yards of tape will be needed. This amount will be suf­ ficient fo r eight ties spaced six inches apart at the opening. 3 Dimensions of most coil springs are 52" x 730" x 5)1;2". It is best to fit the springs cover, over the springs as it is made to make certain it is the right size. The portion of the cover shown in Figure 1 laps over the top of the springs about 16 inches. Corn­ ers are then mitered, and an open­ ing left so that the cover may be slipped off. Either a zipper about 42" long or eight tape ties may be used in closing this opening. Thp e tie& or z.ipper Fig. 1-Top view of springs cover. Figure 2 shows the center piece to be inserted in the square opening shown in Fig. 1. This piece should be about two inches wider and two inches longer than the vacant square, so that the en­ tire springs will be covered. The ties are to be attached to the springs to prevent the insert from sliding. Since the two portions of the cover are not attached to each other, the cover will "give" with the springs when they are bear-· ing weight.

I'\ Figure 4 shows how the un­ derside of the springs cover will look, with the zipper fastening or tie extending about 16" under the mattress. If cotton tapes are used, eight will be required, spaced about six inches apart. A Mattress Cover A mattress cover is simply a slip cover or case made to fit over a mattress. Light weight cotton is recommended as the best mat­ '----------'~--------~~ erial for a mattress cover. This Fig. 4-Bottom view of springs cover. can be washed easily and often. Unless material already on hand, such as old sheets or flour sacks, can be used there is little difference in the cost of buying a mattress cover ready made and buying material for making a cover. If material is purchased for making a cover, buy sheeting 5 (unbleached) which is just the width of the mattress. Shrink new rp.aterial before cutting. Buy enough material to provide for the top and bottom of the mattress and for the boxing and an eight-inch flap at one end. Five yards of 54-inch material will make a mattress cover for a double bed size mattress 54" x 74". Allow generous seams in mak­ ing the mattress cover. Extra strength and a well-tailored appear­ ance can be gained by binding the seams with bias binding or they may be french seamed making the seam on the outside. The latter method is not as costly. Make the boxing the depth of the mattress on both sides and on one end. On the other end leave an extra eight inches of mat­ erial to serve as a flap which can be buttoned over the end of the mattress. Rubber buttons are preferable for this purpose, and from i' six to eight are needed. (Rubber buttons from discarded undergar­ ments may be used.) With this construction, the mattress cover can be unbuttoned and pulled off the mattress just as a pillow case is removed. The mattress cover should fit more snugly than the spring cover, be­ cause there is not as much "give" to a mattress as to coil springs; it should fit tightly enough so 0 ~t 0 0 0 .. 0 that there will be no bagginess, , yet loosely enough so that it can be slipped off and on with ease. Fig. 5-A mattress cover. A Mattress Pad A mattress pad is placed over the covered mattress and under the bottom sheet." It protects the mattress from stains and body perspiration. The pad can be bought at a reasonable price or can be made at home from an old quilt or comforter cut down to fit · the mattress and with the edges neatly bound. A pad can be made using a material such as unbleached muslin or flour sacks and a layer of cotton. Mattress pads should come just to the edges of 6 the mattress. They should be _l I rounded on the corners and about I I I the thickness of a cotton quilt.

T he type and quality of feathers used make a g reat difference in the quality of pillows made from t hem. All down (goose or duck) makes the lightest, softest, fluffiest, and most lux urious pillows. Down in combination w ith waterfowl feathers (goose preferable to duck) makes an excellent pillow (75 per cent down and 25 per cent small white goose feathers) . A good pillow is one filled with 30 per cent down and 70 per cent quali ty goose fe athers. One hundred per cent goose feathers rate next. D uck feathers are not quite so strong, elastic, or fluffy as goose feathers. Chicken and turkey feathers are lower in quality. Kapok is a vegetable fib er. It is light and flu ffy, but it deter­ iorates rather quickly and forms into wads. It is a satisfactory pillow fi lling only fo r persons who are allergic to feathers. A down pillow, size 21 inches x 27 inches, should w eigh about 1 ~ pounds; filled w ith goose feathers, about 2 ~ pounds; and with chicken feathers, about 3 ~ pounds. A good pillow remains full and plump when supported on the palm of the hand. If it collapses and hangs limp and life less, the 7 feathers are either worn; in need of washing; or the pillow is not sufficiently fi lled.

  • How to Sleep Warm Whether You're at Home Or out in the Wilds, a Good Night's Rest Is Important
    How to Sleep Warm Whether you're at home or out in the wilds, a good night's rest is important. Here are some tips to help you sleep snug as a bug in a rug! Each person needs to bring an insulated sleeping pad or cot or blow-up mattress, 2 blankets, preferably wool (polarfleece is ok too), their sleeping bag and pillow. Assemble sleeping gear in the following order: cot (or pad/mattress closest to ground), then warmest blanket, sleeping bag on top of blanket, and blanket #2 on top of all. Strip down to the buff before bedtime and put on all new clothing, including pajamas, sleeping socks, underwear, and sleeping hat. Do not layer clothing as this restricts the amount of warmth the sleeping bag can absorb from your body and prevents it from doing its job. It is okay to put a slumber bag or blanket inside the sleeping bag but slumber bags should not be used in lieu of a sleeping bag. Note: If your feet get cold at any time while camping try changing your socks. Feet get cold due to condensation build up from sweating, and changing socks ensures they are dry and will warm you right up. If a sleeping bag is inadequate or if you do not have extra blankets, the sleeping bag can be put inside a plastic trash bag. Be sure to remove this bag immediately in the morning or the bag will build up too much condensation and get damp. Do not unroll your bag until you are ready to get into it (unless it is down) and re-roll it as soon as you get up in the morning.

  • Instructions Do Not Destroy
    ou leep it eat iSeS ® Y S ON ---H R 120V aC, 60Hz onlY/Seulement IMPORTANT- INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT DESTROY INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Please BE SURE TO READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY before using your new warmer. Unsafe installation or operation can be dangerous, and could possibly cause risk of fire or injury. 1. Unfold your warmer to its full size on the bed. Turn the warmer so that the male cord connection(s) on the warmer is at the foot of the bed and the connection is on the upper side of the warmer, this will put the wired side of the warmer against the mattress. 2. Be sure the skirt of the warmer is fitted tightly over your mattress to keep the warmer stretched out to its full size. Do not use excessive padding over the warmer which can cause heat build up and dangerous overheating. Always use the correct size warmer for your bed when using a fitted warmer so the warmer fits snug on your bed. Example: a twin warmer on a twin bed. Do not tuck in any wired area, the plug, or supply cord. 3. Excess heating may result from folding the mattress pad. Check warmer often and at least every time bedding is changed to be sure it is stretched to full size. 4. Connect the control cord(s) with the female plug(s) into the male cord connection(s) at the foot of the bed. Be sure the control is unplugged from the electrical outlet and the control turned off. Be sure the plug is pushed firmly and completely into the receptacle.

  • How to Stay Warm with the Bed Warmer?
    How to Stay Warm With the Bed Warmer? Author : Denise Mitchell 1 / 3 One of the greatest news is that it is very easy to warm up your bed than to cool it. Body is a place that creates a lot of heat and while this is one of the major problems in summer, it is one of the best solution in the winters. Climbing between the icy sheets can be very shivering and for this you can cling on to the bed warmer. However, you must know that it always takes time to warm up your bed in a way so you must take help of the Bed warmers in this case. What is the ideal temperature of the bedroom? The lower temperature is the thing that signals to the body clock and if it’s night or time for sleep, this temperature will work. Heating up your bedroom can have a negative effect on the quality of the sleep. As per the sleep experts, the bedroom temperature should be between 60 & 67 degrees Fahrenheit and some of us prefer warmer and cooler, but it is a useful rule in this case. It is always nice to warm up your bed. Always heat your bedroom except the whole house- It is expensive and inefficient to heat up the entire home all night than just heating the whole house. Shut out the doors to keep all the heat in. Always use the flanner winter bed sheets- Flannel is one of the best choices for the material for the bed sheets during the winter months.
