Why use a mattress protector?A good quality mattress can be quite an investment, and many people will use their mattress for many years before buying a new one. During the night, our bodies shed miniscule dead skin cells, hairs and perspiration, which can all seep into the mattress and form an ideal breeding ground for dust mites, which can cause irritation for people with allergies or breathing problems.
A mattress protector will form a barrier to protect your mattress, and is easy to remove and clean. It will add to your level of comfort and hygiene, as well as prolong the life of your mattress.What kind of mattress protectors are available? Mattress protectors can come in two styles, either fitted around the top and sides of your mattress, or with straps, where the mattress protector lies on top of the mattress and has straps that fit around the corners of the bed. Mattress protectors are sold in the same sizes that beds come in and are available in single, double, queen, king and super king size.As well as general mattress protectors, it is also possible to buy waterproof mattress protectors, which will protect your mattress against accidents or spills, and anti-bacterial mattress protectors, which are especially made for people who are sensitive to allergies as they will prevent bacteria in the mattress coming into contact with the skin. Although waterproof mattress covers will provide an extra layer of protection to your mattress, the materials used to ensure the waterproofing will not allow them to be as breathable as for instance cotton mattress covers, as air cannot circulate freely.
What is the difference between an underlay and a mattress topper? Underlays are normally fitted around your mattress, enclosing the mattress like a fitted sheet would do. They will add an extra layer of softness and warmth, since these budget-friendly underlays are normally made from synthetic material such as polyurethane foam, while more expensive underlays are often made from natural materials such as wool. Reversible underlays allow you to choose either the wool side in winter and the cotton side in summer, which will allow more circulation for your skin.Mattress toppers are most often designed to be fitted on the top of the mattress with straps that go around the corners of the mattress, this will add an extra layer of comfort. It looks a bit like a quilt, and can have added fibres to assist in pressure point relief during sleep. Some mattress toppers can also be filled with duck or goose feathers. Adding an underlay or mattress topper to your bed can extend the life of your mattress and revive an old mattress, this is especially handy if you are not able to invest in a new mattress at the time.
If you are using both an underlay or topper, as well as a mattress protector, put the mattress protector over the underlay or mattress topper, which will ensure you get the benefit of the extra comfort while keeping dirt and spills away from the mattress and its underlay or topper.How can I clean my mattress topper, underlay or mattress protector? Please take care to follow the manufacturers instructions when it comes to the care and cleaning of your bedding. Depending on the materials used, some synthetic fabrics cannot be machine washed, but have to be sponged clean or hand washed at low temperatures. Natural fabrics such as cotton and wool can generally be machine washed, but products do vary, so please always consult the label. It is recommended to have at least two mattress protectors for your bed, so one can be used while the other is being washed and dried.

How can I make sure I sleep comfortably outdoors? Enjoy a great night's sleep after a busy day having fun when camping, hiking or trekking with the right sleeping gear from Anaconda.
With so many different sleeping options to choose from, you'll be able to find the perfect solution to a good night's rest whatever your circumstances. Choose from camp beds, sleeping bags, airbeds, sleeping mats, hammocks and all the sleeping essentials and accessories that you can think of, from travel pillows to pumps. No matter where you plan to spend the night, you'll be able to spend it in at least relative comfort with a little planning and organisation before you set off, with the many specially designed sleeping options available at Anaconda. Which is the best sleeping solution for me? Different sleeping solutions take up different amounts of space and vary in weight. If you need to carry your bedding, opt for some of the great lightweight sleeping mats available at Anaconda, topped with an inflatable pillow and a sleeping bag for minimum carrying effort. If your vehicle will take the strain, you can splash out on more weighty items such as luxurious inflatable beds, stretchers or camp beds or a combination of the two, depending on space available.
Take into consideration the terrain and the climate, as you may not wish to sleep on rocky ground without some comforting layers, and at some times of the year extra insulation will be required while at other times breathability and air circulation will be more important. Space in your tent is another consideration, as some tents have space to leave bedding down during the day, while in others it is a matter of clearing away every morning to make room to move about, get dressed and have breakfast! Are airbeds easy to operate? Most airbeds available from Anaconda are easy to inflate with a pump, which in some cases may be included with the airbed (see product details) or which can be purchased separately from the range of pumps available. Pumps include manual pumps, electric pumps, pumps that can be run off your vehicle's engine and even rechargeable pumps, so the choice is yours depending on your budget and location. Most airbeds can also be deflated with pumps when they have a deflate setting, which makes it much easier to extract all the air and leave a manageable parcel to stow back in the car at the end of your trip.
Which other sleeping methods do you recommend? Folding camp beds or stretchers can be a great solution for those who want to sleep some distance off the ground, and with the addition of a sleeping mat or thin air mattress you'll be able to spend a comfortable night. For those young at heart, a hammock is a romantic sleeping solution that can work equally well for one or two people, but you will need to make sure you have suitable fixing points at your campsite, otherwise a freestanding frame will be needed to hang your hammock from. Anaconda stocks both single and double hammocks.Can I purchase sleeping bags at Anaconda? But you may want to take your time to have a look at the numerous different options on offer!

With so many styles and sizes on offer, you'll be able to find the sleeping bag that gives you the most comfortable night's sleep no matter where you are.
What is the best sleeping bag for me? When choosing your sleeping bag, take into account what is most important to you. Some of the things to look out for are:Temperature – you'll want a different sleeping bag for a summer camping trip and a mountain challenge in winter. Take into account the surrounding temperature at your destination when choosing the right sleeping bag for your trip. Some sleeping bags are hooded, which will add an extra layer of warmth around the top of your head.fort – sleeping directly on rocky ground will require a more robust and filled sleeping bag than when you are spreading your sleeping bag on top of an air mattress.– If you are a couple, you may prefer to choose one of the double sized sleeping bags available at Anaconda, or you may want to opt for two bags in different weights if you each prefer cooler or warmer sleeping environments.Budget – Anaconda stocks sleeping bags in a wide range of prices, and a one-off weekend camping trip may not merit as much investment as regular trekking.
