Rainfall caused widespread flooding in Qatar on Saturday, potentially raising fresh concerns about infrastructure in the Gulf country due to host the 2022 football World Cup. Several major roads were flooded, prompting official warnings. "As the rain continues to pour in most parts of the country, motorists are advised to be cautious," the interior ministry tweeted after earlier calling the rainfall "medium to heavy". Some apartment buildings on the Pearl Qatar, an artificial island in Doha, estimated to have cost $15 billion (13.5 billion euros) to build, suffered flooding, as did the nearby suburb of Qanat Quartier, built to resemble Venice. The Doha News website reported that the Qatar Animal Welfare Society pleaded urgently for foster homes to take care of its dogs because of the conditions. The Peninsula English-language newspaper reported that rain caused leaks at major Doha shopping centre the Landmark Mall. Many people used social media to post videos and pictures, with some questioning how a relatively small amount of rain -- the first of the winter -- could cause such problems.
The wet weather had been predicted and the government "Rain Emergency Team" had already convened to discuss potential problems. Last November, the government began an inquiry after rain damaged Doha's Hamad international airport, which opened in 2014, flooded roads and streets and caused some schools to close. Gas-rich Qatar is spending more than $200 billion on major infrastructure such as roads, the airport, a metro system and a new city ahead of the 2022 World Cup, which will be played at this time of year -- from November 21 to December 18. World Bank figures show Qatar's average annual rainfall is around 75 millimetres.

Our innovative and proprietary materials let us build the one of most comfortable mattresses ever For Back & Stomach Sleepers For Side & Combo Sleepers Too firm: Pressure Points Too soft: No support Celliant® is an advanced fabric made with 13 thermoreactive minerals that helps improve the performance of the mattress.
Our Bio-Pur™ foam is five times more breathable than traditional memory foam, so it wicks away heat while you sleep and can help keep you cool and comfortable. Sag-free & Eco-friendly Support Our Bio-Core™ foam support layer won’t sag even after years of use. And, like our Bio-Pur™ foam, it’s made from plants instead of petroleum so it’s eco-friendly. Amerisleep mattresses are expertly designed to help you get more sleep — guaranteed. Our mattresses are built with performance in mind down to the last detail. That even includes the cover, which is a critical part of a mattress because it's the layer closest to your body when you sleep. Amerisleep is officially licensed to use Celliant® in our covers. This advanced fabric combines 13 minerals into thermoreactive yarn that converts body heat into infrared. Traditional memory foam is made from dense material, so it traps your body heat and can make you sweaty and uncomfortable while you’re in bed — and who can sleep like that?
We developed our foam with an enhanced "open cell structure," which means there is more air space between the foam particles. That space wicks away heat while you sleep, and can keep you cooler and more comfortable. Remember, you have 100 nights to try it for yourself - if you don't love it, give us a call and we'll pick up the mattress and refund you completely! On top of that, our foam is also the most environmentally friendly. Our patented foam-making process uses plants to replace some petroleum, and is the only manufacturing method that exceeds the standards of the Clean Air Act. Our foam is also better than traditional memory foam because it recovers its shape faster. With a typical foam mattress, you often wind up “stuck” when you change positions but the mattress is still holding your previous shape. That’s because it takes around 60 seconds for the foam to bounce back. Ours bounces back in just four seconds, so as you move at night your mattress keeps up with you, providing superior comfort.
Like sleeping on air No furniture, no problem. You can put your Amerisleep mattress directly on the floor. If you want to use your existing box spring, place a piece of 3/4” moisture resistant plywood directly on top. A flat platform will work perfectly, so long as the gaps between the slats are no more than three inches apart. Adding an adjustable base can elevate your comfort, allowing you to read or watch tv in bed. Imagine waking up each morning with no pain and increased energy. How would that change the way you approach your day? Would you finally be able exercise regularly? Would you be able to perform better at work instead of constantly feeling groggy and needing another cup of coffee? Sleep quality is so important because we spend about a third of our lives in bed! That means, besides our jobs and our families, our sleep probably has the biggest impact in our quality of life. The number of daily problems that go away with a good night’s sleep is astounding — but that only happens if you actually do something to improve your sleep.

From the way we make our foam all the way through how it arrives at your door, we work hard to use processes that are sustainable — literally from start to finish. First, our patented Variable Pressure Foaming (VPF) process allows us to use plant-based materials to replace some petroleum, so it's better for the environment. It also reclaims and recycles any waste, so there is no air pollution. It's the only process for making foam that meets the Clean Air Act's standards. Once we've made your mattress, we pack it up in a box made from post-consumer materials before shipping it to your door. Being more eco-friendly is just one more thing that makes our mattresses different than our competitors.
Your mattress ships to you compressed in an eco-friendly box small enough that we can use FedEx. That means it gets to you quickly, usually within a week of your purchase!
