Compare mattress with checklist

IF YOU'RE not getting the
deep, restful sleep you need
to keep heaithy and happy,
the culprit may be your
mattress.

To get a good night’s sleep, you
need a mattress that meets your
needs for comfort, support and
space.

Mattress condition
checklist

@ Is the cover soiled, stained or
torn?

@ Is the surface uneven?

@ Does it sag around the edges or
in the spot you usually lie?

@ Is the surface of the box-spring
uneven or sagging?

@ Is the mattress comfortable in
some places but not others?

@ Do you hear creaks, crunches
or other suspicious noises when
you move?

@ Does the bed wobble or sway
when you turn over?

@-Are your shoulders, hips or
back sore when you get up in the

moming?

@ Do you and your partner roll
together without meaning to?

@ Are you fighting each other for
space?

@ Would you be embarrassed to
show your bed, without covers, to
the neighbors?

@ Is your mattress eight to 10
years old?

If you answered yes to eight or
more of these questions, it’s time
to think about a new mattress.
After eight to 10 years of nightly
use, even the best bed may be
ready for retirement.

Maiiress care tips

With proper care, a good-quali-
ty mattress will provide comfort
and support for a long time.

Use a washable quilted mattress
pad to keep the mattress fresh and
free from stains.

Clean only by vacuuming; don’t
use dry-cleaning chemicals or spot
removers as they may be harmful
to the fabric or underlying mate-
rials.

Cap bridge gardens honored

CAPILANO SUSPENSION
Bridge was recently honored
as the North Shove’s
Best Large Commercial
Garden for 1993.

Receiving the award on behalf
of Capilano Suspension Bridge
was Carole Ballinger, whose com-
pany, Capilano Pacific Planters,
fas been involved in the planning
of over 26,000 square feet of
Capilano’ Suspension Bridge
gardens,

MacEachran, today’s gardens in-
clude Elizabeth’s original
thododendrons, hydrangeas and
azaleas.

Maintaining the gardens for the
over half a million visitors who
cross the world-famous bridge
every year is no easy task.

This summer the gardening staff
was assisted by four Cleveland
Elementary School students:
Stacey Cunliffe, Karen Johansen,
Carolyn Park and Laura
Jamieson, who watered, pruned

use mild soap with cold water and
apply lightly without soaking the
surface.

Most mattress coverings (called
the ticking) are not colorfast, and
washing could distort or remove
the color.

Turn your mattress over and
end-to-end every few months to
equalize wear. Turn a new mat-
tress every few weeks for the first
two months.

Never fold, roll or bend a coil
mattress. When moving to another
location, protect the mattress in a
carton and flex it around corners.

Don’t use the mattress handles
to support the full weight of the
mattress as they may pull cut and
damage the fabric. The handles
are for positioning the mattress on
the foundation.

Don’t put a board between the
mattress and foundation; it makes
the mattress wear out faster.

And don’t let the kids use the
bed for a trampoline; it damages
the inner construction.

Contrary to popular belief, it’s
not illegal to remove the mattress
tag, but it’s a good idea to leave it
for identification in case you have
a warranty claim.
