The latex mattress is soon to be the newest sleep system "craze" in North
America, and it's very popular right now in Europe. All the big names such as
Sealy, Serta, Royal Pedic and Simmons all have come out with their own line of
latex mattresses. Basically, the latex mattress is a mattress made from the sap
of an actual rubber tree. There are two methods used to make them, thus
producing the Dunlop latex mattress and the Talalay latex mattress. The Dunlop
method whips the rubber in its liquid form and incorporates air into the
mixture, and then it is put into a mold. The Talalay method also whips the
rubber into a mold, but in addition, it will use core pins to cure the rubber,
along with a vacuum system, thus producing a superior quality foam mattress with
a more consistent cell structure. Of course, the more expensive of the two will
be the Talalay latex, although both offer superior comfort and durability.
If you're asking yourself why you would spend that kind of money on a mattress,
there are many benifits. Whether it be a Dunlop latex or a Talalay latex, either
way, a latex mattress outlasts conventional spring mattresses, and can last up
to thirty years, and usually have warranties ranging in and around the twenty
year mark, which is quite impressive. Other than that,, they possess great anti
microbial properties, are virtually dustmite resistant and ventilation
properties, which can do wonders for you if you suffer from asthma or any type
of allergies. Organic latex mattresses are also available to even better these
advantages. Convenience also plays an important part, and a latex mattress has
no need to be flipped, ever.
With a latex mattress, you have the opportunity to experience a superior level
of comfort that just cannot be reached with a conventianal inner spring
mattress. A latex mattress comes in a variety of foam densities, generally the
higher the density of the foam, the higher the quality. The latex foam mattress
has the ability to conform to your bodies' many curves, allowing the weight of
your body to be evenly distributed, thus eliminating the existance of pressure
points while you sleep soundly. Yes, they are more expensive, but one third of
the average persons' life is spent sleeping, so it may be worth the extra
expense for those who appreciate a quality nights sleep. After all, the bonus of
a good sleep just might be that you will wake up feeling completely refreshed
and ready to take on the day. In the end, whether a Dunlop latex or a Talalay
Latex type, a latex mattress is at the very least, well worth considering.

the shade beneath the canopy of mature shade trees you will find many advantages
not found in the full sun garden. Shade trees moderate temperatures during the
hot summer months and provide gardens with structure, privacy and year-round
interest. Shade gardens are generally easier to maintain than gardens in the sun
since there is less watering involved and fewer weeds to pull. Shade is
essential to the comfort of people and plants alike. The number of plants which
can grow in the shade is enormous; in fact many plants would do well with at
least some protection from full exposure to the sun. The first thing to do when
planning a shade garden is to survey the area. Observe the space over the course
of a few days to see what type of shade there is. Also, take note of the trees
that are creating the shade and what condition are they in. There are three
types of shade; dappled, part shade and deep shade. Understanding the
characteristics of each is important when choosing plants for your garden. While
there are many advantages to gardening in at least some shade, deep shade
conditions can be difficult. Only once you know the type of shade your dealing
with should you begin selecting plants for your garden. Dappled shade perhaps is
the easiest type of shade in which to garden. It occurs beneath deciduous trees
where there are drastic changes in the amount of sunlight reaching the ground
throughout the year alternating between a patchwork of shade and sun in the
summer and full sun during winter after the trees drop their leaves. Many shade
tolerant plants, such as trillium, epimedium, anemone and various bulbs have
adapted to these conditions by flowering in the spring while there is still
quite a bit of light entering the garden. Part shade occurs as the sun moves
across the sky. It creates situations such as full sun in the morning and shade
in the afternoon. Only the most sun loving plants will fail to survive in part
shade conditions. It's perfect for those plants which tolerate sun but little
shade. Afternoon shade in this situation is quite beneficial to plants as it
will protect them from the sun during the hottest part of the day. If the
opposite is true, shade in the morning and sun in the afternoon, some plants
will tend to look stressed as the coolness of morning shade gives way to full
sun during the hottest part of the day. Deep shade occurs beneath evergreens or
in narrow spaces between tall buildings and can be a challenging environment in
which to garden. Soil beneath evergreens is usually poor due to the lack of an
annual leaf fall which in deciduous forests provides layers of organic mulch.
Plants selected for deep shade gardens need to be shade loving not just shade
tolerant. When choosing your plants, remember there's a big difference between
plants which can survive in the shade and those which thrive in it. Summersweet
(clethera), for example, thrives in the shade and will grow full and lush while
rhododendrons will end up looking scrawny in the deep shade but healthy in
dappled shade. When planting in deep shade, beneath the canopy of evergreens,
adding compost to the garden will increase nutrients and the soil's ability to
retain water. Before you begin planting, look up to see if there are any
branches which could pruned to allow dappled sunlight into the garden. Though
there are many wonderful shade loving plants available, it may necessary to
selectively prune the surrounding trees to allow at least some sun into the
space. Many plants which thrive in the shade, such as hosta, have developed
large leaves and interesting foliage as a way for the plant to capture as much
sunlight as possible. In the summer the foliage of shade plants becomes the
focal point of the garden. Variegated foliage adds splashes of brightness and
the illusion of light among the sea of green. Use different shades of green
throughout the garden as well. Bright yellow greens illuminate a shady space and
deeper blue greens create a feeling of depth, making a space feel larger than it
is. Remember, colors appear different in the shade. In full sun colors can seem
washed out, in the shade they are vibrant and more intense. Try to unify the
garden by repeating interesting patterns of color, texture and form. While there
are few annuals and grasses which will do well in shady conditions, there a
number of shrubs, perennials, ferns and bulbs which provide virtually unlimited
planting opportunities. From spring blooming bulbs and complex displays of
foliage during the summer to winter evergreens and early flowering shrubs, shade
gardens offer year round gardening joys and far more possibilities and rewards
than any other type of garden. About the Author Tim Hallinan is a landscape
