The Kabooti ring cushion provides a complete solution to seating by combining the best features and benefits of a donut ring, coccyx cushion and a traditional seating wedge.  The innovative design is completely re-invented ergonomic design you won't find anywhere else.  Whether you need a donut cushion or a coccyx cushion for medical reasons or improved comfort, or a superior seat cushion which can provide all-day comfort, this is a great choice.  The coccyx cutout extends from back of cushion all the way to the center oval cutout, providing complete comfort for sore areas and also helps improve airflow so user is cool and comfortable. The corner lobes provide stability, unlike regular donut rings which can pose difficulties in terms of balancing. The wedge shaped cushion features tapered design which is thicker in back and more narrow in front.  This allows complete support where you need it (tailbone, buttocks) and less support under thighs.  Especially helpful when driving or sitting at a desk.  This design also helps circulation under thighs. The ergonomic design helps promote proper posture by slightly tilting the pelvis forward.  This maintains the spine's proper lumbar curve for low back comfort and pelvic support. New cover features a durable knit fabric which stretches in three ways.  It zippers over the cushion and is removable and washable. The cover also makes this donut discreet - no one will know it's not a tradition seat cushion!

The Flip Pillow

The Flip Pillow

How wonderful does this sound: Watching television in the comfort of your own bed one minute to falling fast asleep with the simple flip of your pillow the next minute? Simplicity with versatility is the key here. You can do this when using the new Contour Flip pillow. Uniquely designed to comfort multiple positions, the Contour Flip  Pillow is the most versatile wedge and bed pillow available on the market. Accommodating the sleeping position, upright position, relaxed position and inclined position, the “flip design” allows for total comfort and support for your complete relaxation.

Not only does this pillow accurately align your neck, shoulder and lumbar region when used as a back support, it can even be used as a knee or leg wedge in an office chair or supporting the lower region for extra comfort while laying in bed. The whole notion behind this unique design is to be able to position yourself for the ultimate comfort in any of the aforementioned positions with the result ultimately accomplishing a quality night’s rest. Ordinary bed pillows certainly do not deliver the same body support and can be quite cumbersome to position. The sagging, squished position of an ordinary pillow only leaves your feeling frustrated and unsupported.

Ideal for sleeping, the smaller lobe provides great support for proper head and neck alignment, without compromising a plush, comfort feel. The Contour Flip Pillow allows for maximum back support for upright activities such as typing from a laptop or reading in bed. A built-in head rest offer great neck, shoulder and back support in a relaxed position. It also provides gradual, upward slope, ideal for those who need to sleep with their head elevated.

Embark on a wonderful night’s rest always with this pillow-to-wedge- design combination.

Mattress Pad Temperature Control

Temperature Tune-Up (or Down!)

 

Much like Goldie Locks and the Three Bears, the temperature must be “just right.” The air temperature of your bedroom, that is. Not too hot and certainly not too cold. Finding a comfortable air flow is a key to a better night’s sleep.

As you’re turning in for the evening, your body ideally has reached  a comfortable equilibrium or middle ground, so when the air is too warm or too cool, the body is then made to work to achieve that “happy medium” it started out with.  Dr. H. Craig Heller, professor of biology at Stanford University says “a mild drop in body temperature induces sleep. Generally, if your are in a cooler room, it is easier for that to happen. But if the room becomes uncomfortably hot or cold, your are more likely to wake up which can also affect the quality dream state of REM sleep."

Recommending a universal room temperature for quality rest sounds simple enough, but realistically, experts find it more difficult as what may be a comfortable temperature for one is not necessarily comfortable for another.  Experts from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine advise thinking “cave-like: cool, quiet and dark, an ideal setting for bats who are known for sleeping 16 hours at a time." They also suggest limit the layers of clothing you sleep in, including socks on your feet as they tend to increase body temperature. 

If your house or bedroom tends to be on the cool, drafty side, trapping cold air, perhaps a personal space heater would warm the room just enough to keep the thermostat bill from creeping too high. Consequently if the room tends to trap heat, keep the ceiling fan running at a constant speed to allow cooler air to circulate at a more comfortable rate. With more than 70 million Americans suffering from chronic sleep disorders and sleep problems, seeking relief from these tips are seemingly necessary and will help increase energy, health and safety.

For a unique, temperature controlled bed surface, look at the ChiliPad Mattress Pad - It allows single or dual-zone control to make your bed hotter or cooler, depending on preference.  The dual-zone is perfect for two users who differ on desired temperature.   You will sleep better and you will save money by just adjusting the temperature control where you sleep, not your whole house!

Tips for Enhancing that Wonderful Thing Called Sleep

 

A warm glass of milk before bed is always a calming means to close the end of a busy day. The soothing, warm beverage helps to ease the mind and body for rest. Even if not a milk fan, the notion of something warm before bedtime is certainly worth the effort in order to promote optimal rest. According to the national Sleep Foundation, as much as 64 percent of American adults experience sleep difficulties. That warm glass is sounding more and more appealing.

 

Judith Fertig, contributing author for Natural Awakenings Magazine mentions a concept called “sleep hygiene” in her article, Sleep Aides versus Sleep Sappers. The room temperature, amount of light in the bedroom, fluffiness of the mattress or bed pillow to what dinner consisted of all factor into the quality or lack of quality rest we will receive that night. 

 

Neuropathic physician with Seattle’s Bastyr University, Jamie Corroon suggests staying away from spicy foods, nightcaps (alcoholic beverages) and caffeine. 

 

“Caffeine’s stimulant effect peaks in about one hour and then declines as the liver breaks it down. So, if you go to bed by 11 p.m., you’ll have to stop your caffeine intake by 2 or 3 p.m. to avoid insomnia,” advises registered dietician, Joy Bauer.

 

What are recommended by physicians and neuropaths are nuts and juices, an assemblance of herbs, in tea form or supplement form, a complex carbohydrate of 200 calories or less as a bedtime snack  and of course a warm glass of milk. 

 

Janet Stone, a Registered Nurse working with patients receiving colonoscopy/endoscopy care agrees that a warm, milky beverage is certainly a great sleep aide for the patients she cares for. “We always ensure our patients are calm and relaxed prior to any scheduled procedure. The warm liquid resonates with sleep as most patients drank milk as infants before bed, so that fond memory is reintroduced.”
