Hot Tub Covers - Basic Information That All Hot Tub Owners Should Know
If you have a hot tub, you most likely already have a hot tub cover - the cover that came with it. The question is, is that hot tub cover the best cover for you hot tub? Hot tub covers serve four major purposes. One, they keep impurities out of your water. Two, they are also important in terms of safety - pets or small children could fall into a hot tub without a cover. Three, hot tub covers help hot tubs retain heat, keeping heating bills low. Four, they protect hot tub shells from direct sun exposure, which can harm hot tubs.
So, how do you determine whether or not your hot tub cover is working for you? If you have children or pets, you definitely want to keep your cover on when you are not using the hot tub. Make sure that your hot tub cover fits securely over your hot tub - also make sure that your cover is the right size - and that it is sturdy and durable. In fact, having a hot tub cover that fits securely also helps keep impurities out of your water while keeping heat in.
Over time, your hot tub cover may become heavy and waterlogged, maybe even moldy. When this happens, your cover cannot insulate as well. In this case, it may be time to get a new hot tub cover, or at least a floating foam blanket. You can help prevent water-logging by unzipping your hot tub cover every 2 to 3 months and allowing the foam to dry out. Also realize that a hot tub cover can also become worn and creased where it has been folded open many times. A crease in your hot tub cover may allow more heat to escape than would be able to otherwise.
Most hot tub covers are all insulated with the same material: Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). So, it is not the material that matters when it comes to insulation, but the thickness. The thicker, the better. Hot tub covers have an R-value. The R-value refers to a material's ability to resist the flow of heat. The R-value is based on thickness. In general, the higher the R-value, the better.
Hot tub covers can be very heavy, even when they are not waterlogged. This is good, because it makes it that much harder for a child to find his or her way into a hot tub unsupervised, but it can make it hard to open up your hot tub. If your hot tub cover is too heavy, you may want to consider getting a cover lifter. A cover lifter makes the huge ordeal of lifting off the hot tub cover much less of an ordeal.
Be aware that outdoor hot tub covers may wear more quickly than indoor ones, because they are exposed to the elements. All in all, a hot tub cover will not last as long as your hot tub, but it is up to you to decide when and how to replace it. In the long run, buying a new cover may be better than risking high heating bills.

Natural Latex Foam Mattresses: A Healthy Alternative to Memory Foam
Did you know that natural latex foam mattresses, made from the latex sap of the rubber tree, are a much safer alternative to the popular memory foam mattresses? Memory foam mattresses, like most commercially available mattresses, are made from petroleum based polyurethane foam, an extremely flammable material. Known as "solid gasoline" by firefighters, the polyurethane foam in most commercially available mattresses burns so furiously that strict new fire resistance standards have been written into law, starting with California in 2005 and going nationwide in 2006. These strict new fire resistance standards are being met by tripling the amount of fire retardant chemicals, called PDBEs, that are added to manufacture memory foam mattresses and mattress toppers.
Most mattress purchasers are unaware of the fire danger posed by polyurethane mattresses. But the greater danger may be the higher concentrations of PDBEs used to help prevent combustion in memory foam mattresses. PDBEs build up in the body in ways similar to banned PCBs, and they have been linked to cancer and other illnesses. PDBEs have already been banned in Europe, but not in North America. Some medical researchers believe that the extra load of PDBEs in newly made mattresses will cause millions of cancer cases in the coming decades. Because you lie directly on your mattress for 8 hours every night, your body has its greatest contact with the dangerous PDBEs while you sleep, and they pass right through your skin.
The solution to the PDBE problem is to do what the Europeans already do, sleep on natural latex mattresses. Natural latex mattresses are made from the sap of the tropical rubber tree. Natural latex foam does not burn well, and most natural latex mattresses are also quilted with organic cotton and wool which makes them very fire resistant, complying with all current fire codes.
Latex foam comes a variety of densities for different firmness needs, and, unlike memory foam, it doesn't have to heat up to cradle the body--the effect is immediate. Most people find 100% natural latex foam mattresses to be incredibly comfortable, relieving pressure points and improving circulation. Another great characteristic of latex is its durability. Latex mattresses have been known to last up to 30 years. Because of their resilience, latex mattresses do not need to be turned like innerspring mattresses.
Because latex mattresses do not have innersprings, they require a firmer foundation than the traditional boxsprings. Latex mattresses can be used with a platform bed, a slat foundation which looks like traditional boxsprings, but has slats on the top, or a solid wood foundation, which also looks like boxsprings but has a plywood top usually covered by fabric.
Chemical-free natural latex mattresses are produced by a number of North American manufacturers, the largest of which are Vivetique - Crown City Mattress, located in South El Monte, California, and Obasan, located in Ottawa, Canada. There are also a number of European importers of natural latex foam mattresses, the biggest of which is Green Sleep from Belgium.
Retailers of natural latex mattresses include a variety of local mattress stores who carry products from these manufacturers. There are also nationwide web retailers, like Dax Stores, which usually have the best prices for these natural latex mattresses.

Teak Folding Chairs - Why They're Great For Small Outdoor Spaces
Do you want sophisticated outdoor seating that can be easily stored away when it is not in use? Are you tired of only finding folding chairs that are lacking when it comes to style and the quality of materials used? Do you cringe every time you think of bringing out those old metal folding chairs for company to sit on? If so, you may find exactly what you are looking for in a teak folding chair.
Teak folding chairs are highly sought after by consumers because of their beauty, durability and ease of storage. Made with the finest wood that is often called the premium wood for outdoor furniture, teak folding chairs will bring sophistication, comfort and style to your next outdoor gathering.
When selecting furniture for their outdoor spaces, many people purchase pieces made with teak which is a hard strong durable yellowish-brown wood. Teak is both resistant to the elements and requires little maintenance. Teak grows in the region of Southeast Asia, mainly in Java, Indonesia, and is harvested from the surrounding forests and teak plantations by the locals and the Indonesian government. The wood of the teak tree is naturally resistant to insects, warping, splintering and the elements, which makes it an ideal wood for creating chairs.
With teak folding chairs, there is no sealing, no staining, and no finishing. Left alone, a teak folding chair weathers to a gorgeous silver color, but if you want to keep the rich, warm color of new teak, you can do so with a seasonal application of a teak protector.
And there are so many styles of teak folding chairs available that you are sure to find the perfect seating to reflect your personality and individual decorating style. Take for example the Monterey teak folding armchair crafted by Kingsley-Bate. The graceful curves and lines of this chair are sturdily constructed using only the finest Javanese teak. This teak folding chair also features solid brass hardware and a simple thumb mechanism for easy folding and storage. Priced at just a little more than $300 and guaranteed to last decades even in the harshest weather, the Monterey teak folding armchair is quite a beautiful and valuable option when it comes to outdoor seating.
If comfort is your top priority, you may prefer the adjustable Catalina teak folding chair. This chair adjusts to four different seating positions to give you the utmost comfort whether you are dining or simply taking a nap. This teak chair also folds smoothly and compactly for easy storage. Priced under $400, this chair is perhaps one of the most sought after of all of the teak folding chairs.
If you are looking for something a little more economical, you may like the Gearheart Teak Folding Chair also manufactured by Kingsley-Bate. This teak chair is priced under $300 and is a favorite among consumers.
As you can see from these few examples, there is a lot more to folding chairs than the metal variety. The truth is that you do not have to sacrifice style and elegance to have outdoor furniture that can be stored easily when it is not in use. So if you are looking for a solution to your outdoor seating dilemma, why not give teak folding chairs a second look?
