Need to Buy a Mattress? Read This Before You DoWhy doesn't Angie's List rate attorneys?Landscaping: What do your neighbors do that drives you crazy?How much does it cost to be a member here?How much does it typically cost to paint a 2100 square foot house on the exterior? That's very difficult to answer without seeing the house. As one poster said, the prep is the most important part. On newer homes that don't have a lot of peeling paint, the prep can be very minimal even as low as a couple or a few hundred dollars for the prep labor. On a 100 year old home with 12 coats of peeling paint on it, then the prep costs can be very high and can easily exceed 50% of the job's labor cost.A 2100 sq ft two story home could easily cost $1000 just for the labor to prep for the paint job. That number could climb too. Throw in lots of caullking or window glazing, and you could be talking a couple or a few hundred dollars more for labor. Painting that home with one coat of paint and a different color on the trim could run roughly $1000 or more just for labor.
Add a second coat and that could cost close to another $1000 for labor. For paint, you may need 20 gallons of paint. You can pay from $30-$70 for a gallon of good quality exterior paint. The manufacturer of the paint should be specified in any painting contract. Otherwise, the contractor could bid at a Sherwin-Williams $60 per gallon paint and then paint the house with $35 Valspar and pocket the difference. $25 dollars per gallon times 20 gallons? That's a pretty penny too. That was the long answer to your question. The short answer is $2000 to $4000 and up, depending upon the amount of prep, the number of coats, the amount of trim, and the paint used.Here's how to clean a mattress and remove vomit, urine and their smell.

Please tell us how you cleaned your memory foam. and will help others with emergency mattress messes for many years to come.AccesswireJuly 4, 2015 10 Point Comparison Reveals PROS and CONS of Budget-Friendly and Luxury Gel Memory Foam MattressesChicago, IL. / ACCESSWIRE / July 3, 2015 / "Compared to first generation temper foam developed in the 1960s, modern-day memory foam is available in a variety of firmness levels, springs back faster, heats up less, and lasts longer. However, even some of today’s so-called best memory foam mattresses from renowned manufacturers are far from flawless" cautions Belinda Palmer, a spokeswoman for Bedroom Solutions.This Top 10 Memory Foam Mattress Review and Comparison was recently published to educate consumers on the Pros and Cons of popular mattresses, so that they can quickly recognize a low-quality mattress.The above review compares mattresses based on features like (1) density/firmness, (2) thickness of gel memory foam layers, (3) heat retention, (4) CertiPUR-US safety certifications, (5) motion transfer between partners, (6) suitability to different sleeping positions, (7) hypoallergenic properties, (8) price, (9) user reviews, and (10) warranty period.
Visit http://Bedroom.Solutions/Memory-Foam-Mattresses/ to learn about above features of the best budget-friendly memory foam mattresses in today’s marketplace.Popular mattress brands like Simmons Beautyrest, Serta iComfort, and Tempur-Pedic occupy the list of best luxury memory foam mattresses while less well-known brands like Perfect Cloud Ultra Plush, Ultimate Dreams, Sleep Innovations, Signature Sleep, Classic Brands, Amerisleep, Dynasty Mattress, and Lucid make up the list of best budget-friendly mattresses. "The decision-making process that goes into selecting a mattress can be exhausting" exclaims Palmer. "The first hurdle is choosing between memory foam, latex, inner spring, water, and air mattresses" she adds.The Memory Foam vs Latex vs Inner Spring vs Adjustable Air Mattress Comparison was recently published by Bedroom Solutions to help people get through this initial hurdle.The above comparison looks at various aspects of the 4 mattress types such as: (1) support on pressure points and alignment of the spine, (2) motion transfer between partners, (3) mattress sagging, (4) the need to rotate/flip mattresses, (5) how hot or cool it sleeps, (6) suitability to use on adjustable beds, (7) off gassing odor, (8) weight, (9) lifespan
, and (10) cost. The comparison clearly shows that memory foam and latex are superior to others in most aspects."Once the consumer makes the above decision, he or she still needs to decide whether to buy a (1) soft, medium, or firm mattress, (2) thin (6" – 8") or thick (10", 12" or 14") mattress, (3) full, queen, or king size, and (4) whether to buy online or at the local mattress retailer" elaborates Palmer.Once the consumer is convinced that he/she needs a memory foam mattress, several additional factors need to be considered to ensure that an uncomfortable mattress is not purchased. "While memory foam is superior to other types in many aspects, especially, older-generation memory foam can have a few drawbacks” explains Palmer. “As a result, some of the cheap memory foam mattresses (1) emit strong chemical odors, (2) heat up too much, (3) are too soft or too firm, (4) fail to expand back to correct thickness after being shrink wrapped, (5) sag prematurely, and have (6) excessively soft edges" she adds.
Over the last four decades memory foam has been around, manufacturers have recognized these flaws and come up with effective solutions. One such solution worth mentioning is how the ‘sleeping hot’ problem has been handled. Foam mattresses are inherently good at absorbing body heat, but poor at releasing it out. This has been successfully addressed in newer generation memory foam thanks to ‘open-cell’ technology, invention of gel memory foam mattresses, strategic placement of grooves that bring out hot air, use of air-infused memory foam, and even using bamboo-made mattress covers that allow mattresses to efficiently ‘breathe’, in turn allowing mattresses to stay cool. The above memory foam mattress review takes into consideration all these factors and has already eliminated low-quality mattresses saving consumers days, if not weeks of online research-time. In addition to reviewing the best memory foam mattress brands, Bedroom Solutions provides a mattress buying guide which emphasizes the role of one’s sleeping style when selecting a soft vs firm mattress.
