Replacement furnace filters that are not changed regularly tend to spread the dirt they collect throughout your house when you turn on your heating or cooling system. So all the work you do to mop your flooring and bleach your countertops may be to no avail, as more and more dirt is caked onto your home surfaces due to a refusal to change your filters.

So if you notice that your house is “always dusty” no matter how much you clean it, a dirty air filter may need to be changed. The function of 3m furnace filters is to block out dust and debris from sensitive systems inside your heating or cooling unit that would otherwise be impaired by this dirt. As the dirt collects more and more on your filtering system, your machines have to work much harder, causing your energy bills to skyrocket. If you notice that you are paying every more each month for heating and cooling bills, you may need to change your air filter.

Having a tidy Filtrete filter provides clean air with a higher chance to spread in, out and through your house, offering you significantly more healthy air to breathe. Using a filter in your heating system decreases the amount of dust and different other irritants that can be spread out around your residence and convolute your capability to keep your residence fresh. While you may be reluctant at the costs of replacing your air filter every month, studies show that keeping a fresh filter increases the longevity of your heating and cooling units.

Get a Custom Mattress for Perfectly Personalized Sleep

Filed under: Goods and Services — admin @ 1:54 pm

Due to the time we spend on them and the importance of a good night’s sleep, your mattress is one of the most important investments in life. But because of the high price tags on something we don’t “actively” use, many people try and cut corners on cost and get something of poor quality, which is reflected in their sleep. Other people simply have a problem finding the right mattress even when price isn’t a consideration. Fortunately, you can personalize your mattress in a way that meets your budgetary, comfort, and support needs, all in one product.

The easiest and most affordable way to customize your mattress is with a mattress topper. Typically made of foam materials, these thick pads are placed on top of the mattress to create a unique comfort layer. The great thing about conventional or memory foam toppers is that by the time you’ve decided you want one, you’ll already know how you want your bed to feel. If your bed is too firm, get a soft topper and sleep better! Foam pad bed toppers can be placed on any mattress type, from conventional innersprings to waterbeds or even futons. They extend the life of a mattress that is still structurally sound but not as comfortable as you would like it to be.

If you’ve decided you want to purchase an entire mattress, customization can be had from top to bottom. Because of the different materials, firmnesses, and sizes foam makes available, it’s easy to build and order a mattress tailored to your needs. Many companies construct mattresses from individual sheets of foam, creating a hybrid bed for the pickiest sleepers. If purchased without the sheets glued together, you can move each layer around, creating a different mattress with every combination. You can rearrange the layers and change the mattress as your tastes change too. If you’re considering ordering a new mattress, you have plenty of options at your disposal to get the sleep you need.

Cushion Hard Furniture with a Foam Pad Cushion

Filed under: Goods and Services — admin @ 7:57 pm

One of the greatest tragedies of home design and interior decoration is when the most beautiful furniture is also the most uncomfortable, keeping it from ever being used. Wooden furniture tends to be one of the biggest offenders in this situation, as it can be beautifully crafted but lack even the most basic comfort qualities. If you have furniture like this in your home, all is not lost as foam furniture cushions can redeem even the most unpleasant pieces of furniture.

Cushions for furniture are a seemingly over-simple solution, yet they represent the most effective way to get comfort without compromising appearances. Cushions can be produced from any number of foam materials; the softest foam for plush pads, to firm materials that offer a balance of support and comfort. They are easily customized to the shape of the chair they are going to pad and can be made as thick or thin as needed. The cheap-and-easy solutions from big box stores are typically under-stuffed with non-resilient polyester fiber filling that will break down quickly. For maximum comfort and long-term durability, customized cushions from an upholsterer or fabricator are the smart decision.

Custom cushions can be made with virtually any fabric covering to match your home’s styling. They can even feature accents like buttoning or welting. The best part of custom-made cushions is that they are completely removable when not in use. You can have comfort when you’re using the furniture, and then store them when you aren’t, maintaining the aesthetics of the room. If your furniture has a look that you love but comfort you don’t, investing in foam chair cushions gets you the best of both worlds.

Apple and Samsung battle for smartphone dominance continues

Filed under: Technology — elegant @ 4:08 pm

On March 14, 2013, Samsung Electronics unveiled its Galaxy S4 smartphone at the Radio City Music Hall in New York before an enthusiastic crowd. During the first week of its release, Galaxy S4 reportedly sold more than four million units and the company expected to sell 10 million units by the end of May 2013. The Galaxy S4 is the main competitor to Apple iPhone which released its iPhone 5 in October 2012. During the first week of sales, iPhone 5 sold more than five million units. During the last quarter of 2012, Apple sold 27.4 million iPhones worldwide including 17.4 million iPhone 5s. During the same period, Samsung’s Galaxy SIII sold over 15.4 million units worldwide.

Samsung is trying to capture more market share with couple of things. Samsung uses Google’s Android operating system and Google is releasing a stripped down version of Galaxy S4. Samsung is also releasing three other variations of the S4. Its S4 Mini and Zoom are available outside the U.S. and there is talk of rugged water proof version coming out shortly. Who will win the race is anyone’s guess at this time and the battle between two giants could be better for the customer.
