Why Bamboo Bedroom Furniture?

Environmentally sustainable – Bamboo is one of the earth’s fastest growing plants and it is a grass that grows to maturity in 5 years or less. Bamboo is the product derived from the forests of a fully sustainable, environmentally friendly and rapidly growing renewable resource.
There are more than 1200 bamboo species over the world. We only use Moso ( Phyllostancys pubescens) for our products. It is the best specie for the bamboo product due to its hardness, durable, stability.

The bamboo material has been treated and kiln dried to the certain moisture content, then through the special manufacturing process to put the bamboo material together. The gas emitting of adhesive in manufacturing our products is well below than US standard allow.

Other factors:

Hardness - Greenington furniture uses only the maturated Moso bamboo that is at least 5 years old. It will ensure our furniture possessing the strongest hardness and stability. Our Classic bamboo is 20% harder than Oak, and Exotic bamboo is 100% harder than Red Oak.

Carbon Sequester - Bamboo is the one of best plant in the earth to sequester carbon. It releases about 35 percent more oxygen than a comparable hardwood trees. By sequestering carbon, it reduces the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide, which is the main contributor to reduce global warming.

Heated Mattress Pad Helps Restless Leg Syndrome

We recently just started carrying Sunbeam Heated Mattress Pads. My mother in law always complains about sleeping cold at night so I decided to take one home to her.  My Father in Law wasn’t as excited as her at first.  Until the next morning when he said he slept like a baby.  See, my Father In Law has Restless Leg Syndrome. It all started about 12 years ago when he was diagnosed with Diabetes. The heat of the pad has been a success for him and he has been sleeping well ever since:)

What is Restless Leg Syndrome?

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. RLS sensations are often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful.

The most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms. As a result, most people with RLS have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Left untreated, the condition causes exhaustion and daytime fatigue. Many people with RLS report that their job, personal relations, and activities of daily living are strongly affected as a result of their exhaustion. They are often unable to concentrate, have impaired memory, or fail to accomplish daily tasks.
