When is the last time you bought a new TV? How about a phone? Is it surprising that most people replace these items more often than one of the most-used items in the home -- the mattress?
With all the recent buzz surrounding bed bugs (those icky, nasty bugs that can live inside mattresses and bite you when you sleep), it's important to know the facts about mattress care and purchasing. According to a study from Kansas State University's Institute for Environmental Research, an innerspring sleep surface (rather than foam or other materials) dissipates heat at a faster rate than other sleep surfaces. This means that they not only help you to feel cooler when sleeping, they also reduce heat and moisture (which are the best friends of breeding bedbugs.)
You should also work to keep your mattress clean from the very first day you bring it home from the store. One good solution is with a mattress protector, which keeps bed bugs from getting into your mattress and protects it from sweat and those horrible accidents from a toddler crawling in bed with you. (Know what we mean?)
The Invisicase Surround Protector from Leggett & Platt does both of these functions AND allows the mattress to breathe, which keeps it from getting musty, moldy, or otherwise gross. With 127 years in the business of making mattress innersprings and developing products to protect them, Leggett & Platt is well-versed in keeping nasty things far away from where you sleep!

For our first year wedding anniversary this year, my husband and I splurged and bought a brand new mattress. Next on our list to buy was a great mattress protector . . . but instead I got pregnant and quit my job, and now we don't have any extra income for such luxuries ;) We'd sure love the chance to preserve this mattress, before a little one comes along and who-knows-what might happen! ;)
ReplyDeleteI would like to win this so that I can sleep cooler.

would love to get some protection for a mattress here
ReplyDeleteWe desperately need a new mattress and are in the processing of saving up for one. This would be perfect timing for us! Thank you for offering this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have a mattress protector because I have a four year old that likes to eat and drink on the bed.
ReplyDeleteYou're right - we haven't replaced our mattress pad since we got our mattress probably 10 years ago! We obviously are in need of a new one.
ReplyDeleteWe could use this. Our mattress is old and needs some protection.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance.

ReplyDeleteI would love to win because we'll (hopefully) be purchasing a new mattress soon and I'd like to make sure and have a protector for it. I had forgotten how expensive a mattress can be until we started shopping for one. I would hate to spend that kind of money and then ruin it (and I can't even stand to think about the bed bug issue)!

I want to win this because I live in one of the most bedbug infected states. Our mattress is already pretty old and we can't afford to buy a new one. So I would love to be able to at least protect it.

I'd love one b/c mattresses get so dirty and this would be awesome to keep everything clean. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteKelly D. ~ dkad23(at)gmail(dot)com
my sweetie has a dust allergy and i hate the idea of mites, let alone bedbugs--and we travel a lot for work, which makes me extra scared of getting them. this would bring some peace of mind and hopefully keep the allergy factor down.
