Understanding the differences between High Resiliency Foam vs. Conventional Foam is a critical factor in determining the comfort and lifespan of your furniture. High-quality foam not only enhances daily use but

At FOAMITE, we deal with a lot of Chiropractors who have different opinions about what type of mattress is best for people with lower back pain…
On June 3, we celebrated our 35th Business Anniversary. If there is one thing that we have learned over the past 35 years, it is that there is a big difference between Fake and Real Comfort.
It’s summertime baby! And what do we do in the summertime? All kinds of things, but my favourite is sitting around a pool or a camp fire, with a tea in my hand, and talking with friends or family all day or all night long. If you are sitting outdoor make sure you are using the right grade of foam for your outdoor sitting application and that nobody slips anything funny into your tea.
If you want to buy a lifetime mattress that will help you sleep better, you need to learn a thing or two about what you need that will help you get there and achieve the rest of your life. A good mattress should last 20 years. Unfortunately, a week doesn’t go by where we get someone in our showroom complaining about a competitor’s 20-year mattress that has only lasted 3 or 4 years. This applies to spring mattresses or the newest and latest brand of foam mattresses that are being sold in boxes throughout social media.
If it’s a spring mattress usually the top layers will mat down after a short period of time and before you know it, you will be sleeping directly on the springs. When you call for a warranty then you discover that the warranty only applies to the spring core of your mattress and not the comfort layers. Any sagging, up to 1.5″, is considered normal wear.
In June I received an email from a frustrated mattress shopper. Here is an excerpt from his email: “I’m looking for a company that has detailed foam information readily available and will share it willingly with its customers, showing transparency. I am not at all impressed by what I have been reading about the big names out there, using lower quality foams and selling these beds at inflated retail prices!” The fact is, he had already fallen for the 20-year mattress that only lasted 4-years and he was sick and tired of paying good money for air (inside a spring mattress).
If Katy Perry were writing this blog, it probably would start something like this – “cause your hot and I’m cold, turn it down and I’m gold, your wrong when its right, sleep cooler tonight, we fight, we wake up, turn it down, let’s make up…” Try it a few times, its even better with background music. Okay, I am not a songwriter but I do play one from time to time. Anyway, back to the day job…According to experts cooler is better. Studies have found that in general, the ideal temperature, all year round, for sleeping better is quite cool, around 60 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit, that’s between 16 to 20 Celsius.
Have you bought a foam mattress that has sagged or softened prematurely? Does it look old and tired, even though it’s not that old? It’s Makeover Time!
You got a great deal on a “natural, organic, eco-friendly” crib mattress, but is it really safe for your baby to sleep on? If you are interested in things like organic food and natural baby products, you should know that your child is actually getting a greater exposure to toxic chemicals from their mattress than from anywhere else.
Are you excited about boatin’ season? Makin’ waves and catchin’ rays up on the roof, mmmmm… Motorboatin!’ If you value your relaxation time and you want to a have comfortable night’s sleep, when you are away from home, then you should come in to see us so that we can make you a custom boat mattress using the right grades, all the right layers and at the right factory direct price. Then you will be ready to go Motorboatin’ feeling and looking gooood!
Hey everybody, Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend and it is that time of year when we all fall back to standard time. It’s a 49-hour weekend – Yaaay! You can waste the extra hour as you wish or you can use this as an opportunity to pay back some sleep debt and to develop a better sleep routine. Remember what Ben Franklin said, “…early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise!” If you forget to turn back your clocks, I am sure your smart phone will remind you and even do it automatically for you. Oh how nice it would be if our body’s clock was as automatic as our smart phone.
A lot of upholstered furniture is not made with the best grades of foam available. Most people do not know that there are that many different grades because furniture makers don’t take the time to educate them properly. What’s inside the cover matters and plays a very integral part to your long term comfort and to the overall look of the furniture. The foam used is as important to your couch as the foundation is to your house and they both support the pretty things that go on top. However, since it is not visible there is a lot of room for substitution of lower quality materials. Don’t let this happen to you.
Have you checked your mattress lately? If you are waking up tired, now may be a good time to do so. If you need a new one make sure that you don’t fall for things that make others more money but that don’t necessarily help you “sleep better”. What’s Inside matters and you should buy your next mattress from the inside out. Stop waking up tired and miserable. Start every day with a good night’s sleep. If you start out happy, then staying happy will be much easier. Here is a summary of some of the Biggest Myths you should know about when it’s time to buy a new mattress…
You start to yawn, you think it’s coming, a good night’s sleep would be stunning, another sleepless night, no relief in sight, sleeping in a Winter Wonderland! Happy Holidays Everyone. Remember, to be the best that you can be, over the Holidays, by maintaining a proper rest and sleep schedule! If you get some time off then give yourself the gift of rest and relaxation. Lay down by the fire, on the couch, stay in bed longer, have an afternoon nap and don’t stress about anything in your warm and cozy home. If you do it right, you will enjoy the Holidays more and it will benefit you and everyone around you.
Have you had an afternoon nap lately? You know you want to; especially, after a time change. It’s not a sign of being lazy, in fact, it’s in your body’s chemistry. Tomorrow is ‘National Nap Day’, why not try a nap in the afternoon. You may like it and it’s good for you. It’s time to bring back the nap! We do it – check out our Relaxation Room. If you don’t get enough good sleep throughout the night, you will be cranky, have trouble concentrating, tend to overeat and you are more likely to make mistakes.
It is that time of year when days become shorter and nights become longer. And of course, since we are in the sleep business, this is the time of year we like playing, “Thank the Lord for the night time”, by Neil Diamond. We too, thank the lord for the night time to forget the day.
We call them consumers, but they should be researchers, too. In fact, a Better Sleep Council survey in 2020 found that, on average, people consult three to four sources before they make a mattress purchase. Some people just base their purchase on the price alone and believe it or not this sword can cut both ways.
Thanksgiving is here and once again we will see pictures of turkeys and talk about talk about “tryptophan”. What is the origin of this word And does it always lead to a trip to the couch? Is it really the turkey (alone) that makes you feel so tired after this big festive meal? So many questions to ponder as you lay on the couch and stare at the ceiling.
We have been supplying dormitory mattresses to Universities for the past 33 years and we can honestly tell you, from experience, that 100% of first year university students should go to their new dorm rooms with a comfortable 2 or 3-inch mattress topper under one arm. One University “Request for Quote” asked for 800 mattresses that were frim enough to support a 300 pound student. This is only one of the many reasons why they think it is better to buy uncomfortable and firmer mattresses.
If you want to buy something good to sit or sleep on, you should know that all foam is not the same although it may look that way.
That’s what Real Comfort is like. You may think that you are sleeping well now, but you don’t know what it’s like until you sleep on a mattress that was made specifically for you, using the best and most natural comfort ingredients, at a great factory direct price.
Are you waking up stiff and tired every morning? If you are then chances are you need a new mattress. Don’t use the stress of everyday life and the Holiday rush as an excuse. Your mattress may not be doing its job and instead of waking up recharged and refreshed you feel like laying around for another hour or two. The biggest complaint that we hear in our showroom is that, “my 20-year mattress has only lasted 4 years”. You can get the best sleep of your life by sleeping on Real comfort ingredients!
In outdoor cushioning applications your seat or laying surface require a cushion that will withstand rigorous use wet or dry. Qik-Dri is ideal for outdoor furniture, golf carts, boat cushions, pool bed loungers, the bottom of boat mattresses and other cushioned surfaces that are exposed to the elements. The type of foam you decide to go with for your outdoor use depends on: what the cushions will be covered with (outdoor or regular fabric), whether or not they will be covered by an awning or overhang and whether they will be left outside or brought in when it looks like rain.
While it’s easy to make jokes about someone’s window-rattling, dog-howling, air-raid siren snores, the truth is that chronic snoring affects up to 45% of the adult population, and can be the cause of a host of physical and emotional problems. No matter how much you love each other, snoring can put a strain on your relationship. If you’re the one lying awake at night as your partner snores away, it’s easy to start feeling resentful. And if you’re the snorer, you may feel helpless, guilty, or even irritated with your partner for harping on something you can’t consciously control. Keep reading to learn how to diagnose the causes of your snoring and plan for a cure.
We got your back. Now its time for us to move a little higher up and give you some tips on what you can do to prevent neck and shoulder pain – both during the day and at night. Two out of three of us will have neck pain at some time in our lives. In most cases it is not due to a serious disease or medical problems; instead, it is related to bad posture and minor strains to muscles or ligaments in the neck. Full recovery occurs in most cases. The best advice to avoid acute or chronic neck pain is to stretch the neck area on a daily basis and to use a good therapeutic pillow at night to maintian proper spine alignmnet.
It sure is cold outside and my feet remind me every chance they get. Recently I have been sleeping much better because I have started wearing warm wooly socks to bed. It could be my height and the blood not being able to flow to my feet fast enough to keep them warm or my Mediterranean blood cells that are not used to below zero temperatures. I don’t what it is, but my feet feel winter coming long before it is actually here. However, recently I have been sleeping much better because I have started wearing warm wooly socks to bed. It really helps. If you have cold feet, like I do, you should try this Better Sleep Tip.
Studies have found that in general, the ideal temperature, all year round, for sleeping better is quite cool. Temperatures that fall too far below or above this range can lead to restlessness and disrupted sleep cycles.
Lack of sleep has become a chronic problem for kids and teens. The end of Summer is a good time to start new habits and a regular sleep routine that will benefit your kids when they return to school.
Is it possible to have a custom memory foam mattress with cooling properties that both relieves pressure points and gives you proper support that maintains your spine in its natural alignment? Before I answer that, let me say this…
Are you waking up stiff and tired every morning? If you are then chances are you need a new mattress. Don’t use the stress of everyday life and the Holiday rush as an excuse.

An overwhelming majority of people are spending more time at home to stay safe and to protect others from contracting COVID-19. As you spend more time on your couch, than usual, I would like to provide you with some information on when to replace your sofa cushions. They may no longer support you or give you the comfort that you so desperately seek during these difficult and uncomfortable times.
Who saw this coming and God only knows how long it will last. Thanks to Covid-19, we are all spending more time at home. And more time sitting on our upholstered furniture or in bed glued to the television to see what happened today and what might happen next. I hope that`s not just me. Did you see all those spring-breakers on Clearwater beach? What were they thinking? According to a Dutch proverb, “We grow too soon old and too late smart!â€
Although they may be convenient, in terms of shipping, you should know that all mattress-in-a-box retailers are not using the best grades of foam available.
An old customer of ours used to say, “You don’t know what you don’t know, until you have a problem and then you need to know it!” How does this relate to Latex Mattresses? Well, it’s like this. You can ask a lot of questions up front to make sure that you are getting the best value for your money or you can lay awake at night, from sleeping on a lumpy mattress, and eventually pay for another one sooner than you thought you would. Once you make a decision it would also be nice if you could look inside your mattress to make sure that you received exactly what you thought you were getting.
Foam is the the key comfort ingredient used in the most comfortable sitting or sleeping applications. If you want to be comfortable, for the rest of your life, then you should pay a little more attention to the type of foam you are sitting or sleeping on. All foam is not created equal. We carry 45 different grades. Most conventional grades that are commonly used do not give you the comfort, support or durability that yo can get from Koosh Natural. Come in and feel the difference. Come in and get Comfortable, for real!
You can buy a mattress from a store or you can go directly to the manufacturer and buy a custom mattress that is made with the best and most natural comfort ingredients at a great factory direct price. If you are from out-of-town you can even get it the same day. We can fold a foam mattress and put it in your car so that you can take it home with you. That will save you from having to make another trip from any town in Ontario or even from Upstate New York.
Do you have trouble falling asleep? If the usual methods don’t work for you anymore, like taking a warm bath or drinking warm milk, check out some of the more unconventional methods below.
All foam is not created equal and neither is memory foam. There are many different densities and compressions of memory foam that will determine how long the foam will last before sagging or softening up with use. In addition to the type of memory foam that is used as a mattress topper, it is also important to have a good middle transition layer and a bottom layer for long-lasting support and durability. I can’t stress this enough, the three layers, in the right thickness and compression, work together as a system to give you comfort, support, and durability.
It seems like people have finally woken up to the fact that sleep is important. While it’s great to think about what you can ingest to sleep better – it’s always important to consider what you are sleeping on.
People prone to stress and worry can find it very difficult to fall asleep. Do not look at the clock as it will just make it more difficult to sleep. Instead of dwelling on the problem, here are some solutions that you can practice to get a better night’s sleep. Hint: the key to falling back to sleep is not to worry about not being able to fall asleep. You must remain relaxed and try to calm yourself.
During a recent trip, I noticed in an Airport bookstore, a small book titled “MAKE YOUR BED: Little Things that Can Change Your Life and Maybe the World”.This New York Times bestseller by Admiral William H. McRaven is truly a gem and very inspirational! McRaven wrote this book after his commencement address to the graduating class at the University of Texas at Austin. His address focused on 10 lessons he learned from his Navy SEAL training.
Afternoon naps. Falling asleep in the back seat of the car. Having a favourite blankie to help you drift off. Kids know what they’re doing when it comes to sleep. In honour of Better Sleep Month, we’re encouraging you to reconnect with your inner child and sleep like a kid again.
You got a great deal on a “natural, organic, eco-friendly” crib mattress, but is it really safe for your baby to sleep on? If you are interested in things like organic food and natural baby products, you should know that your child is actually getting a greater exposure to toxic chemicals from their mattress than from anywhere else.

World Sleep Day is not until March 15th, but given that lousy overcast, dark and dreary weather, why not get a jump on it? Insufficient sleep can have many adverse effects, from weakened immunity and unwanted weight gain to trouble focusing, memory loss and a lack of motivation. Sleep deprivation can also affect our moods, making us more likely to be cranky, anxious or depressed.

A good pillow is essential for good sleep. It should keep the neck and spine in its natural alignment. A “bad pillow” may not cause any health problems, but it could worsen problems that already exist, like: headaches, neck pain, shoulder or arm numbness, and even sneezing and wheezing. If you suffer from any of the above, or if your pillow is more than two years old, it’s probably time to buy a new one. When you buy a new mattress make sure you look at replacing your pillow too. They work together as a system to maintain proper spine alignment from your neck down. Foamite offers a range of luxury memory foam and foam rubber pillows to suit a variety of individual comfort needs.

I mean, it’s a great look for Halloween but in case you were sleeping in a coffin and you haven’t heard yet – Halloween is over!

If you want better school grades, you should start today to develop a better sleep routine – don’t put it off until tomorrow.

The team of players that can handle the pressure, stress, adversity, change and still get a good night’s sleep will finish first and be crowned Champions of the World!
The purpose of sleep is to make us more effective during our day time hours. A recent study of adults, between the ages of 23 and 60, shows that if you exercise, later than 4 hours before bedtime, that it will help to improve the quality of your sleep. The more vigorous the exercise the better you will sleep consistently, night after night, and you have fewer sleep problems. Even a light 10-minute walk after dinner is better than nothing. If you want to be happy during the day and more productive add exercise: light, moderate or vigorous to your day time routine. Any and all of them will benefit your sleep more than no exercise at all.
When it’s hot outside and your air conditioning is struggling to keep the upstairs bedroom cool, it can be difficult to fall asleep.

Fortunately, there is a new modern comfort ingredient, known as iFoam, that can be used as a topper or in the layers of your mattress to maintain a constant temperature on your sleep surface.

A good night’s sleep starts with a good mattress. Since we spend one-third of our lives in them, our beds deserve proper care. They’ll repay us with a clean healthy place to sleep. Proper care will keep your mattress in good condition. The following easy-care tips will help you get the best out of your bed during its natural life. Just as our bodies need the support of a good mattress, mattresses need a proper place to rest. Although a foam mattress does not require a box spring, it still requires a flat surfaced foundation. A good mattress must be matched with an equally good, strong and stable foundation in order for it to retain its support…
Nothing beats the comfort of good foam. If you want to buy a good mattress and sleep right, go to the right place (factory direct) and get to know your foam first! According to people that come into our showroom, the uncomfortable overly firm bed is still very much in vogue.

Overall, the educated consumer wins with better quality sleep.

What do you sit on to watch a favourite program, a movie or to read a nice book for a couple of hours? Do you give it much thought? Whatever you sit or lay on your couch to do, you will enjoy it more if you are sitting on sofa cushions that are made with better high resiliency foam. They will give you better support and longer lasting real comfort. It is like poetry or the best music to your ears. Your back and bottom will feel it first and when you sit down on the foam you may even hear the sound of “Hallelujah”.

We have been supplying dormitory mattresses to Universities for the past 28 years and we can honestly tell you, from experience, that 100% of first year university students should go to their new dorm rooms with a comfortable 2 or 3″ mattress topper under one arm. One University “Request for Quote” asked for 800 mattresses that were frim enough to support a 300 pound student. This is only one of the many reasons why they think it is better to buy uncomfortable and firmer mattresses.
Did you know that sleep is the last thing people think about when it comes to losing weight and looking good? In fact most people focus on nutrition (lean protein and veggies) and exercise (weights and cardio) and good sleep is rarely given in thought. What most do not realize is that if they do not put more emphasis on sleeping right (quality and quantity) that all their good intentions can become counterproductive without them even knowing it. I get it! People are busy and live hectic lives but by prioritizing sleep you can achieve so much more.
In June I received an email from a frustrated mattress shopper. Here is an excerpt from his email: “I’m looking for a company that has detailed foam information readily available and will share it willingly with its customers, showing transparency. I am not at all impressed by what I have been reading about the big names out there, using lower quality foams and selling these beds at inflated retail prices!” The fact is, he had already fallen for the 20-year mattress that only lasted 4-years and he was sick and tired of paying good money for air (inside a spring mattress).
Over the past 10 years many mattress companies have tried to capitalize on the use of the word “organic”. However, as a foam manufacturer who supplies foam to mattress makers, we know the games that people play. Sometimes things are not what you think they are and you really don’t know what you don’t know. People that have had bad mattress experiences are our best customers. Come in and educate yourself before you go out to buy your next mattress.
Happy New Year kids! By the way did you know that late night texting leads to sleep deprivation? Its not your fault and I am not blaming you. I know its the others that are to blame.

For the past several years, memory foam has been the hottest material in premium bedding – in more ways than one. You can “sleep cool” on memory foam if you take the time to sweat the details. Do your homework to understand the design and construction of a mattress. It can be made with cooler foam and materials that allow for the best air circulation possible. Here is what you need to know to sleep cool on the best and most natural memory foam mattress.
A study published recently, in the Journal of Sleep, shows that if young adults and teens get to bed too late at night, they are far more likely to become overweight as adults. In fact, the later they get to bed, the greater the chance they will be heavy as adults. Going to sleep late at night appears to be an even more significant factor than the number of hours of sleep for teens and young adults. Weight patterns established between the ages of 14–25 are likely to create a body mass index that will last a lifetime. Meanwhile, the Centers for Disease Control has new statistics on teen sleep that are eye-opening.
Is sleep important when you go away on vacation? Some people don’t feel comfortable when traveling to places that are too far away or too different. Others focus on how comfortable their surroundings are including the mattress that they had to sleep on. Usually this discussion happens after they finish talking about the weather and what they had to eat and drink. Taking vacations regularly is important, after a few days of not thinking about work can go a long way to recharging your batteries. Here is what you can do to have a more relaxing vacation. #WeKnowComfort #YouNeedComfort
Many studies have shown that utilizing full-foam mattresses in nursing homes is better than innerspring cores for the prevention of uncomfortable pressure points and bedsores. Bedsores are very uncomfortable and can lead to infection and hospitalization. Many homes have still not made the switch and some of those that have are paying higher prices, from Distributors, for inferior quality. If you have an elderly parent that is in a home you should know about this. Here is an example of what ‘Not to Buy’ and what you need to know if you are looking for new mattresses for a loved one…
You spend a third of your life in bed. Yet many people do not realize the impact that this seemingly passive activity has on their backs and overall well being. What you sleep on and how you sleep has a tremendous affect on how you look and feel the day after. Stop waking up looking and feeling tired. Start every day with a good night’s sleep on a properly configured mattress. Mattress shopping can be very confusing and a big hassle but it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead of going from store to store why not go to a manufacturer that can educate you and show you all the possible combinations that are available in the marketplace.
Getting in sync with your body’s natural sleep/wake cycle is the key to good sleep. You will feel more refreshed and energized.
Having regular sleep and wake times each day, even on weekends, will help condition your body’s natural sleep/wake cycle. If you tend to stay up later on weekends, make sure you still try to wake up at your regular time or at most an hour later. You can always make up for lost sleep with a short nap. If you’re getting enough sleep, you should wake up naturally without an alarm. If you do, then it could be a sign that you are not getting enough sleep, perhaps you need to start sleeping earlier.
Have you checked your mattress lately? This is a good month to do it. And if you need a new one don’t buy a mattress like one of these guys. Don’t be fooled by the cover or cheap price –#whatsINSIDEmatters! Here is a summary of some of the Biggest Myths you should know about, when it’s time to buy a new mattress…
Landfills are full of piles of old mattresses that take forever to decompose. If anything the problem is getting even worse with a flood of cheaply made spring mattreses that only last 3 to 4 years. It doesn’t have to be that way. Our sustainability goal is to only use the right kind of raw materials, to create the things we truly need and ensure that they will last. Our mattresses are so well made that they truly last longer. And once you are done with it and throw it into a landfill it will biodegrade within 6 to 8 years.
Do you worry when you can’t sleep well? Most people that understand and appreciate the importance of a good night’s sleep do. However, if you are one of those people that think they have insomnia, you should know that worrying about insomnia will hurt you far more than the insomnia. Learn how to calm yourself, talk yourself to sleep, so that you can recharge your batteries and be the best that you can be the day after. Start every day with a good night’s sleep!
An old customer of ours used to say, “You don’t know what you don’t know until you have a problem and then you need to know it!” How does this relate to Latex Mattresses? Well, you can do your homework and ask a lot of questions up front to make sure that you are getting the best value for your money or you can assume that which isn’t true, make a quick decision and then pay for it later by sleeping on a lumpy sagging mattress within a short period of time – #whatsINSIDEmatters!
If you come in to see us, we will educate you like no other mattress retailer will or can. And then we will leave it up to you to choose the foam or mattress that is best for your application and budget. As a manufacturer we have supplied mattress makers with foam. You would be surprised with what some put in a mattress cover and then sew it shut so that you can’t look inside. When we started in the mattress business, we decided that we wanted to be different than all the other mattress makers out there.
We are closed for the Holidays from December 24th to January 4, 2015. Sorry, but we do not do Boxing Week Sales. We don’t believe in them and you don’t need them to get the best possible price for a good mattress. We are more than a mattress store. We are a manufacturer and we are comfort and sleep experts. Our custom mattresses, that are made specifically for you, are always on sale compared to those that sell in stores. Happy Holidays everyone and to all a good night!
Buy a good mattress and a good bra because when you take one off, you are laying on the other. Think about it. They both support you and are intended to make you feel more comfortable, so why not take the time to do it right. Most women have a bad-fiiting bra that they only wear when the other ones are in the wash. Too bad you can’t change your mattress as easily or as inexpensively as you can change your bra. Actually if you can buy the best and most natural comfort ingredients at a great factory direct price and bring the mattress back to change it as often as you want. Foamite – far from ordinary!
Make sure that you buy a Fireshield Barrier for your mattress. It’s a no brainer when you think about it. In the United States, a day does not go by without someone dying in a mattress-related bedroom fire. It is also a common occurence in Canada. And in case you think its from somebody smoking in bed, think again. The majority of people that die, in bedroom mattress fires, are children. In terms of safety, the issue of fire resistant mattresses is equally as important to mattresses as airbags were to automobiles ten years ago.
