A man in been jailed in the United States after illegally crossing the Canadian border using an air mattress to float across the St Croix River. John Bennett is believed to have been driven by love for his Canadian girlfriend, prompting him to illegally enter New Brunswick on 7 September.According to the Star, the 25-year-old told police officers that he had previously tried to cross the border at Calais, Maine but customs had denied him entry on the grounds that he was facing mischief charges in the US. Bennett has now been sentenced to two months in jail for the mischief charges.Prosecuting lawyer Peter Thorn said: "He was told by the officer that until he got those cleared up, he wouldn't be admitted into Canada."Thorn told a provincial court in Saint John, New Brunswick that Bennett bought the air mattress at Walmart. He then inflated it and used a wooden board to paddle to an area southeast of St Stephen, however, he was spotted by a local resident.Bennett was then reportedly arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and charged with failing to appear at the border crossing, which is required under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
Bennett told the court that he was trying to reach his pregnant girlfriend in Canada because he was worried for her safety.Thorn said: "[Bennett] said she had an ex-boyfriend who was threatening her, but that hasn't been confirmed by the other party. He was wet and carrying his boots... [and] walking towards the town."The judge hearing the case told Bennett: "Pardon the pun, but it seems to me you wanted to get there, come hell or high water."

It was very easy to put together - it does it by itself.
It was comfortable and easy to fold up. I highly recommend it. This bed is extremely easy to put up and take down. Got this to use when my daughter comes with her family. Fascinating to watch it unfold and then fold back up when done. So much easier to put away and not have to try and stuff back in a bag that you cannot lift. If I had storage room and good health I would keep, but had to return. This has been a hit for guests and to take when we visit family out of town. It is easy to inflate, easy to put your linens on, and easy to deflate and pack up and store away. It has been a buy that was far better than I thought it would be. This is an air mattress on steroids!!! I couldn't wait to set this bed up when it arrived. It is well worth the money. Very easy and fast to set up and put up. Love the easy way to open up And closed.Have not used as of yet but looking at the video is what I need. I could not believe how easy this was to set up-I am elderly and have a very bad back-the bed comes in its own :suitcase" that has wheels, so all I did was pull it up the stairs, unzipped it and plugged it in-less than 5 minutes it was done.
It was a surprise for my husband who does a lot of work on rentals and has no p[lace to lie down except for a recliner that is in a vacant house we use for storage. He was a little skeptical, and when he laid down on it he was HAPPY! He is 78 years old, and this gives him a good respite Loved the quality, the price and the ease of set up and take down. Best thing I have bought in years This is a good and sturdy extra bed. I bought the mattress cover too. It is easy enough to set up and take down. Yes I would recommend it to friends and to other viewers Have made several attempt to order bed.Updated address three times no resultsBed is being returned for the third timeOrdered cover for EZ Bed with same addressCover arrived with no problems and on timeIt seems there is a processing issue with shipping the EZ bed. I have ordered the same bed before with no issuesI updated the address as well as the receiver contacted UPS Grounds with tracking number to update address. Still the EZ Bed was return with the same resultsThanks for this opportunity to express experience
Looking for the best mattress for your money? To cut through the clutter of advertising you'll see out there, Consumer Reports has a look at the best mattresses and mattress retailers. The magazine broke out their findings by category: Traditional innerspring, memory foam and adjustable air. In each category, Consumer Reports recommends a best buy, as well as other mattresses they recommend based on ratings. Innerspring: The Denver Mattress Doctor's Choice for $500. The Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Trust Cushion for $1,275 is also a best buy in this category, with a higher rating, but it's obviously a bit more expensive. Memory foam: Tuft & Needle Ten for $600. (Message from Tuft & Needle: "We don't actually use any memory foam in our mattress. We use our own time of polyfoam, T&N Adaptive™ foam. We created it with a foam scientist to have the pressure relief and comfort of memory foam and the breathability and support of latex foam.") The Novaform 14" Serafina Pearl Gel (Costco) is also a "best buy" pick for this category, but it's more expensive at $800.
Adjustable air: Sleep Number c2 Bed for $800. It's important to remember that price does not necessarily equate to satisfaction with mattresses. A more expensive mattress may not make for a better product. For more tips on finding the right mattress for you, check out Consumer Reports' buying guide here. Read more: What you need to know about sleeping pills On the question of retailers, Consumer Reports ranked the Original Mattress Factory stores as the top choice for customer satisfaction. Costco Wholesale was a close second. The high placement for Costco may reflect their return policy on mattresses: A full money back refund without penalty and no time limit. That really makes Costco stand apart! I particularly like the warehouse clubs for mattress shopping, and I've long advised people to test the mattress right there in the store for an extended period. Bring a book or tablet to Costco or Sam's Club and get those mattresses off the displays or yank them off the walls.
