MATTRESS-NATURAL PRODUCT COMPOSITION of natural latex mattresses mattress GREEN BIO ORGANIC RUBBER without Chemical Products. Mattress Patented
Many people today have physical problems, skin sensitivities, asthma and allergicunexplained.
The many chemical sensitivities increase in people every day by hundreds of thousands of cases reported by Health Canada.
Ask yourself what you breathe in your sleep?
A mattress core is ideal in theory extremely elastic and non-deformable. Spring mattresses and water mattresses have either a compression or collapse of elasticity reduced more where there is more weight.
For over 20 years, I was engaged in the production of foam mattresses latex. They are already more elastic than other mattresses, but the elasticity is determined by the amount of natural rubber used in the polymer blend. Ideally, I would make onlya mattress core Hevea natural rubber, but it was impossible or difficult to achieve in Europe and America because of the lack of fresh Hevea milk.
The foam mattress that we knew were made of polyurethane or synthetic polymerlatex SBR, Styrene Butadiene Rubber. These are obtained by complex chemical processes from petroleum. The synthetic latex mattress that we knew were already enriched with natural rubber to increase their elasticity. This natural rubber mixed with a lot of volatile alkali was transported in liquid form from Asia andtropical Africa. It was painful because we never received the same quality.Imagine that you had to produce the same wine in California with an arbitrary mixture of grapes in France.
2. Natural Latex
3. Natural rubber from Hevea
Ideally, a mattress should consist of more than 90% natural rubber and rubber to be perfectly isotropic, ie d. elasticity is the same in all directions. This product is alsobreathable and insensitive to temperature. This is why it is never moist or warm.Examples of other products which are widely used natural rubber condoms arerubber, the tires of an aircraft or a formula, balloons for meteorological stations …anything that has to be extremely resilient and stable.
To make this mattress core made of 100% natural rubber to rubber, we neededmilk plant rubber and similar expenses and know-how innovative. So it had to be done in the country of origin of the Hevea milk. But what is this hevea milk and where to find the best soul of a mattress?
4. Hevea Brasiliensis
HEVEA BRASILIENSIS is the name of a rubber tree. As the name implies, the tree was discovered in 1736 in the Amazon region by the French explorer Charles Marie de la Condamine(1701-1775) who reported the rubber as a curiosity.
Around the world, there are trees that secrete a liquid when they are injured or damaged by insects. This fluid prevents clotting that mold or bacteria enter the tree.
As the resin of pine or maple sap, a milk plant, also known as latex flows from theHevea brasiliensis or rubber tree, which hardens to a rubbery mass. A pharmacistdiscovered that English can be used to erase the pencil. The name of the rubber(rubber) also comes from the English verb « to rub » rubbing. This rubber is mainlyelastic and waterproof.
In 1839 it was discovered that the rubber and sulfur by heating, the so-calledvulcanization process, produce a rubber that is strong and solid at temperaturesfrom 0 to 100 ° C.
Since then, this product is used for making waterproof textiles, tires for bicycles and cars, chewing gum, painting … and even condoms.
Rubber became an important industrial product. Needs rubber became so important that we built plantations in other parts of the world. Especially the English, who sent the young plants in their tropical colonies in Asia such as SriLanka and Singapore. The Portuguese plantation implanted primarily in Central Africa. The tree survives in effect only in a very humid and hot. To harvest the milkplant is cut out in the cambium of the tree. And the pockets of latex are cut and the milk flows out. Under the injury, we fix a container in which milk plant is collected.Can be left to coagulate the milk, or you can add a little ammonia to keep the fluid milk. The coagulated rubber is dried and compressed to make shoes, boots, insulation or building material. For mattresses, we need liquid latex. It is purchased for Green Sleep Malaysia North to independent farmers, who for years planted these trees selected in cooperation with the National Institute of Rubber in Kuala Lumpur. As for apples, peppers, wine, is applied to the plant about a transplant from mother to still get the same tree. After a long selection, we get the milk for several years to plant rubber trees still appropriate to melt mattress coresare identical in the different degrees of firmness.
5. Milk of Hevea
 |
Plantations which our milk comes from plants do not use growth promoters, pesticides or insecticides. The wood bottom is removed by hand if necessary. In some areas of sheep and goats graze under the trees. In addition to our certificateQUL, Qualitäts Umweltfreundlicher Latexmatratzen institute Öko-Umwelt in Cologne, Germany, the plantations were checked as to working conditions andenvironment-friendly aspect. The cultivation of vegetable milk rubber is completely organic. |
Pull hevea milk has now become the work of women. This is the second family income. Prices are set cooperatively every day.
Today, the price of rubber and especially milk plant rubber is very high. In addition to the world price rises due to growing demand, the price is fixed according to theabove daily wage. When you know that we must have about 40 hours to collecte nough milk to produce a rubber of our mattresses …
6 . Transformation process

Hevea milk is delivered fresh and centrifuged under the same certificate ISO2004. The solid material is separated from the water. This solid is mixed by acomputer-controlled complex program, with air and a minimum + / - 5%,vulcanizing and other materials such as sulfur, zinc oxide, accelerator andantioxidant . None of these added materials is toxic! On this subject, please referto tests and certificates that you find below.
It therefore adds no fillers. The mixture is injected into molds aluminum ankleswhile returning the heat of 90 ° C in the body.
After about 90 minutes of oven, the mattress core is removed from the mold curedand washed. At Green Sleep, this cleaning is very intense. The souls of 15 cm up to 7 times are watered and compressed up to 1 cm. In a centrifuge, the souls are cleaned again, until all the soap scum and all odors are gone. The abundant waterfor this process must be completely sterile. After drying, the mattress core ORGANIC HEVEA is controlled at the firm and receives a label stating its origin and production data. Certificate « AOC » and a number are also with the mattress core. Thus the product is fully traceable! These mattress cores are sent to theGreen Sleep plant in Europe and Canada for further treatment. This production process gives us the best mattress cores that can be made today. In the field of ecology, plantations and crops are well below any non-polluting. For production ofeven the mattress core, we need the same amount of energy that was used for other mattress cores.
7. Warning
The only problem is the so-called latex allergy to the protein of 1%, culprit, theHevea milk contains. Only a small proportion of the population is concerned.Generally, latex allergy occurs in individuals who as a child did not tolerate breast milk or any dairy product.
If latex allergy, contact with a mattress core covered after a few hours causes redspots on the skin and begins to suffocate. If this happens, we return the mattress inthe store room to the purchase price. On an annual basis than 15,000 mattresses, we must take about four. It does not often. If you want more information, see latexallergy, implications for patients and Health care workers [latex allergy, the implications for patients and medical staff.
In several countries of the Third World, the mattress 100% natural latex are handcrafted. They serve primarily the local market. Their product often has acrumbly structure and is much too hard. The durability and hygiene conditions in which this product was manufactured are not acceptable for use West. Especially rinsing is often contaminated. We find these products regularly on the Western market. They are often sold at prices bumper « factory direct » to business post office box or lounges. These products severely damage the reputation of « natural products ».
Always ask for certificates of composition, origin and brand QUL!
Every soul rubber mattress organic Green Sleep is guaranteed for 20 years ofgood use since July 2008. Each mattress has its certificate of origin and a manual. Remember that a mattress is acidified with sweat and deforms after a while depending on the weight of your body. So be your mattress review by a consultant from Green Sleep every eight years.
Green Sleep has become an internal list of demands « Eco-tested » to be met by all the raw materials used. Any subcontractor or any production unit Green Sleep is imperative to meet these criteria.
Certificates Skal, Eco-cert and QUL support our claims of quality and are soughtfrom our suppliers every year.

HAIR-LOSS-BALDNESS – Hair Loss MEN- Alopecia-MEN and WOMEN – There are anti hair loss as a natural and drug Propecia
Baldness or ALOPECIA
SOLUTION PROPECIA HAIR LOSS
Why Hair Loss Sudden or Slow?
How about it?
Is there a SOLUTION a natural or an anti Hair loss?
That many questions that arise every person who is found in this state with premature hair loss.What is normality?
Why we are born with this or that capital hair?
The hair seems little influenced by the external environment and the transmission of their main characteristics is largely genetic.
However, as the nails, they consist mainly of protein (keratin) and their health isinfluenced by food hygiene of the person.
Drug for baldness
Propecia contains the active ingredient, finasteride, known as Alpha reduct ase inhibitor type II 5.
Propecia blocks the action of alpha reductase type II 5 and thus the formation of DHT. The decrease in the amount of DHT in the blood and the scalp can lead to stopping the process of hair loss.
Propecia increases hair growth and prevents hair loss due to male pattern baldness. Once started treatment with Propecia, it may take 3 to 6 monthsbefore you notice a real decrease in the loss of hair or increased density.Continued use of this drug is recommended for maximum results.

Androgenetic Alopecia
What is it?
Hair loss due to two factors: a hormonal factor, and a hereditary factor.
Genetic susceptibility of the scalp androgen (male hormone whose main subject is, in this case, testosterone). So this is a predisposition in the field.
It may be more commonly known as seborrheic alopecia or baldness « classic »because it affects 90% of men with alopecia
She moved slowly and diffusely.
It is directly related to male hormones in the blood, but mainly affects the scalp.These are the hair follicles of the frontal areas, parietal (temples) and the top of the skull that are most sensitive to these hormonal disturbances.
Androgenetic alopecia in women appeared there twenty years. Since it affects a growing number
In women androgenetic alopecia is a refinement of the hair. It is less spectacular than in men, focusing on the top of the skull or on the line.
The human body produces androgens as well as that of women (20 times lessthan in men). All of the androgen is secreted by the gonads (testes and ovaries, 40%) and adrenal glands (60%). These hormones have many functions but for both sexes and there is a genetic susceptibility, they accelerate and shorten the life cycle of hair follicles.
In the case of a genetic hypersensitivity, the hair becomes finer and shorter.Then, exhausted bulbs shrink, producing more than a fine down, that’s whatleads to baldness
Family history is a critical factor in determining androgenetic alopecia.
Explanations of a physiological point of view
On the scalp, testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone (DHT) under the influence of the enzyme 5α-reductase. DHT stimulates the sebaceous glands which increase sebum production. This effect is particularly apparent in adolescence. Stagnant sebum in the hair follicle will gradually clog. Therefore,the scalp thicken, preventing blood vessels to feed the bulb.
Another negative effect of DHT is known to shorten the growth phase of hairand its life cycle, which makes the hair thinner and more fragile.
Is the transmission of genes from the mother alopecia or father, or both, both in boys than in girls, that causes this genetic predisposition.
These genes stimulate the activity of 5 alpha-reductase, which in turn leads to amuch greater secretion of DHT.
We must therefore understand that in this case, it is not the amount of testosterone secreted is in question, but how « abnormal » it is used and converted by the genetically programmed hair follicles. In other words, it is not a hormonal disorder, but an abnormal receptor bulbs.
If there is no genetic predisposition, the two substances combine harmless anddo not interfere in any way the normal physiological development of the hair.
Androgenetic Alopecia in Women
Family history is a key factor in the diagnosis of androgenetic alopecia.
But more than 20% of women with no history in their family and yet have clinical signs of this alopécie.Arround 30% of women suffer from androgenetic alopecia.
This predisposition is associated with hypersensitivity to androgens and hyperactivity of the enzyme 5α-reductase. As humans in this case, it will be imperative to act locally (at the scalp) on androgen production and 5α-reductase.
It is very important to act at the first sign of abnormal fall, because once used up any capital hair back will never be possible. Care for external application can improve the appearance of hair, however it is not enough to guarantee the integrity of hair follicles. An internal processing-time, which if necessary could be renewed at certain times of life, is absolutely essential. However, it is very important to know the type of fall which the person is facing in order to choose the treatment best suited fall.
Androgenetic alopecia is very easy to diagnose in women: the hair is thinning only on the top of the head and sometimes on the temples, while the hair of the neck and temples is dense and well stocked. This alopecia begins with a widening of the median line. The hair becomes thinner and sometimes it goes hand in hand with seborrhoea. It is irreversible if we do not address the problem.
Androgenetic alopecia in men
This is the most common hair loss in men.
It affects both young men from the age of 20-22 years (20%) than men in their forties 50% of men from the age of 50 suffer from androgenetic alopecia. This alopecia is a hereditary predisposition that is to say, it is usually transmitted from father to son. This does not mean that all men suffering from androgenetic alopecia have a child predisposed to this type of alopecia. This is related to hyperactivity of the enzyme 5α-reductase, it is essential to regulate, but it is impossible to completely inhibit because it is inevitably linked to the production of testosterone.
It recognizes the hair loss androgenetic its location. Bare areas are the upper front (gulfs bilateral) or the top of the skull, the fall in the area usually starts with a tonsure, while the neck and temples remain dense and well furnished. This decline stems from the overactive alphareductase 5.
This enzyme will convert locally and excessive testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Rate too high will cause DHT shortens the growth phase of the hair.
The length of each hair cycle will significantly decrease from a few years to months. The hair cycles, normally scheduled to last a lifetime, will therefore run out much faster. Excess DHT usually causes increased activity of the sebaceous glands surrounding the hair bulbs. This excess seborrhea will gradually clog the pores of the bulb that slowly suffocate. Meanwhile, the scalp is not well vascularized, or fed. All these phenomena will lead to atrophy of the bulb, resulting in a first thinning hair, and then a gradual and total loss of hair on areas of more extensive scalp.

Alopecia Areata
In this case, hair loss occurs on one or more well-defined areas of the scalp (usually round plates). Its evolution is unpredictable. Sometimes the hair growsspontaneously in a few months, and in other cases, alopecia areata can progress to total baldness or persist for many years.
Whatever the origin, recurrences are common.
Stress is a factor in the development of alopecia areata, but yet its origin is not always psychosomatic (emotional shock, heavy stress). The causes are not always well defined.
Often there is a microscopically visible inflammation around the hair follicle.Then there is a slowdown in growth of the hair of up to stop the shoot.Inflammation is probably due to a reaction-type autoimmune disease. In this case, the antibodies attack the hair follicle which slows or suspends its function,so far without permanently or completely destroyed.
Alopecia areata may also be caused by out breaks neighbors (dental, eye or sinus).
Seborrheic Alopecia
It’s not alopecia as such, but rather an aggravating factor or progressive. Indeed,excess sebum is secreted in excess by the glands surrounding the hair bulb. sebum (grease) blocks the pore of the bulb by which the hair grows. The bulband choke tends to atrophy. If this phenomenon is associated with hormonal imbalance local, one enters the pattern of androgenetic alopecia.
All bald people have not developed an office seborrhea, and oily hair do not fallinexorably.
In women, as men prone, stress promotes excessive seborrhea, dandruff anditchy scalp.
It is a form of baldness in men or women, which manifests itself in excessive hair loss and sudden on the entire scalp.
The extent of hair loss in telogen effluvium is distinguished from androgenetic alopecia which covers only specific areas of the scalp it concerns a minority of men.
This type of alopecia is caused by deficiencies, external factors or disorders of the body and appears for example in severe systemic diseases, severe stress resulting from surgery or injury, fever, diet too severe, carencesen iron, etc..
These abundant hair loss (sometimes with handles) are usually reversible once you detect and remove the trigger for the fall.
The causes of telogen effluvium passing are very diverse: pregnancy, childbirth,seasonal changes, major surgery, prolonged illnesses, emotional shock intensity, the decree making birth control, etc..
In some cases, hair loss in telogen effluvium may be or become sustainable if they are not treated well. Be especially vigilant during prolonged depression or during chronic stress, when medication long term. Should be monitored metabolic disorders due to a drastic diet or anorexia. And when hair lossabundant and wide spread across the scalp, it is necessary to rule out certain possible causes and sneaky as deficiencies in zinc, magnesium, calcium oriron, and possible thyroid problems or hormonal .
When should we worry?
Male or female, it is normal to lose hair every day. It is like any other fabric, are generation or renewal of our cells and elimination of dead cells or too old. However, if this process accelerates or worsens in any way whatsoever, it is necessary to act quickly to avoid depletion of your capital « hair bulb » which, remember it, is limited.
Losing every day fifty hair is perfectly normal. But if you feel that your hair is thinwith no body or dull, nothing prevents you from performing a course of about 3months of specific nutrients and vitamins.
This definitely will restore vitality, shine and health to your hair.
If you lose between 50 to 80 hairs a day, there is nothing alarming, but it is necessary, even in prevention, take the necessary action depending on the typeof hair loss that you have (stress, deficiency, predisposition androgenetic ,pathologies)
The loss of hair over 80 is considered alarming. It should not be allowed to occur or continue the problem. A real attack treatment with natural products and specific should therefore be undertaken as soon as possible.
Hair care efficient and adapted, there are for men and women of all ages.
Treatments against hair loss are effective if they act on different aspects of the problem. On the one hand, it is essential to stimulate the vital functions of the hair to compensate for various causes of falls (negative effects of androgens, stress, external aggression, etc.).. On the other hand, for out patient care(shampoo, lotion, massage, etc.). Must detoxify and cleanse the scalp to eliminate toxins and dead cells. In addition, it is essential to enable the vasodilation of the scalp to promote blood circulation to hair roots.
Improved local circulation of the scalp facilitates the provision of vitamins, minerals
and amino acids provided by adequate and nutritional supplements. Theremineralization of the hair by stimulating domestic growth.
Ideally, of course, in parallel, closely monitor your lifestyle. When the body is neglected, the first cells to suffer the consequences is the rapid turn over in cells, such as hair or skin. Watch your diet daily, this does shoed that potentiate the effects of anti-fall.
In all cases of hair loss, light massage of the scalp, even a few minutes a daystimulate regrowth the better they are associated with successful treatment.
The woman is more subject to various hormonal changes during certain slices of life (stress, childbirth, menopause, premenopause …). During these moments, hair poorer, the bulbs become brittle and duration of hair cycles is sometimes reduced if the scalp is too responsive to male hormones, androgens.
These phenomena begin to significantly valuable « capital bulbs » and that, sometimes in just a few years.
The majority of men believe that alopecia is hereditary and incurable, yet it is entirely false!
A simple lotion, if it is quality, can help improve the appearance of your hair and even stop the fall, but not enough to re-nourish the hair and scalp thoroughly, or stop imbalances hormonal or seborrheic with a deeper origin.
It is essential to act effectively and at the first sign of abnormal falls, for that itwill opt for an internal processing long-term or ad hoc to be renewed at certain times of life.
Whatever the origin of the fall, if you want to get rejected, it is essential tostimulate the activity of hair follicles by an oral treatment containing nutrients and vitamins.
Natural and appropriate care can reverse this sensitivity and hormonal excess sebum.
With effective treatment and quality, it is more difficult to treat a man a woman and the results are equally compelling regardless of gender.
Androgenetic alopecia is an imbalance of androgens in different places well localized in the skin.
Taking into account this parameter local imbalance, recent medical research has created a new approach and innovative aesthetic technology.
New generations of natural cosmetic products have appeared on the market to counter local hormonal imbalances. Their effects are much less aggressive than those of chemical molecules such as Minoxidil and Finasteride. In addition, they do not affect the overall hormone levels and therefore no side effects and no cons-indication.

ARGAN OIL Stretch Marks
ARGAN OIL Stretch marks are skin breaks. Essentially, it is women who are victims. Indeed,the changes their bodies undergo at some point in their life predispose to theseskin lesions.
In particular, during the great changes that are physical puberty and pregnancy.It is the same during slimming diets that follow one another. It should be notedhowever, that some women have a predisposition to stretch marks.
These body modifications have resulted in the disruption of elastic layerslocalized skin usually on the abdomen, buttocks and thighs or hips. There aretwo kinds of reasons to explain the appearance of stretch marks:
They often appear in parallel lines first red at the time of the rupture of elastic fibers in the skin, then take a look atrophied.
It is possible to prevent stretch marks by a massage and application ofmoisturizing creams at the time of puberty or during pregnancy. The skin ismoisturized and relaxed. Having to undergo less stretching the skin is less likelyto « crack ».
Because of high vitamin E content restructuring, natural argan oil is commonly used by Berber women from southern Morocco to prevent the risk of stretch marks during puberty or during pregnancy. The anti-stretch marks of argan oil is significantly proven.
How to reduce stretch marks
It is possible to reduce stretch marks once installed and even make them disappear in some cases.
The following treatments have been proven:
-Some medicines based on vitamin A acid is also used in the treatment of acne)
The microabrasion-crystals of alum to remarkable effects.
-Some tattoos done by dermatologists can recolor stretch marks and make them less visible.
-Again, natural argan oil has proven effective to reduce stretch marks when installed.

The MICRO GRAFTING Hair has now become an effective technique and Estheticians ALL KNOW on Hair Grafts: Techniques micrograft – Implants Hair Implants and Hair
MICRO HAIR Transplants from Dagnostic to Outcome.
All hair fall … it’s normal. They fall in a cyclical manner, each passing through three phases: birth .. Life … death … like anything alive.
This cycle occurs 20-30 times in the life of a man. IIt is normal to find hair on the pillow or on the edge of the tub.
But hair loss is abnormal, pathological, and ultimately when the accelerating pace of these cycles, the 30 rings are « eaten » too fast … and baldness because hair falls out, not repel, their capital » renewal « has been completely exhausted.
This accelerating cycle of hair is hereditary, and under the influence of certain hormones, it is called androgenetic alopecia.
Some hair falls definitively: the level of temporal gulfs, the top of the skull or the tonsure. Some hair never fall: at the temples, the crown of the neck because there, the hair is « hormonally protected, they grow and grow throughout life. The idea of transplanting hair is naturally born of this scientific finding: we’re going to migrate hair « eternal » to the deserted areas.
The intervention of micro hair transplant
Definition
Micro hair transplantation is a technique of reimplantation of hair and their bulbs on hairless areas or who have lost their hair density. The hair from areas of the scalp well supplied (ie the « Hippocratic wreath »). This provides a good resistance to the action of testosterone as they retain their initial quality of life, despite their relocation.
Preoperative consultation
It is essential for the establishment of a trusting relationship between patient and doctor and the choice of intervention to consider.
The doctor asks the patient to know their expectations, concerns, but also more conventionally medical history and family.
Clinical examination of the patient’s doctor will determine the donor area and, or, area (s) recipient (s), and the number of grafts required in the light of the scalability of baldness, the number of meetings and the result that the patient wants.
The doctor will articulate the patient what is possible and what is not to arrive at a reasonable strategy and aesthetically successful in the short, medium and long term.The patient will receive a detailed estimate and a document detailing all the risks inherent in this type of surgery.
Intervention
This was done in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia and under conditions of hygiene and safety required by any surgery.
The hair is taken from the back of the skull form of a strip which is immediately sent to the team specially trained to cut out the tiny grafts (1 and 2 hair). At the same time, the doctor stitches the donor area, leaving only a thin scar hidden by hair. Then he realized micro-incisions finally hosting micro-grafts.
It thus reimplanted 1000-3000 grafts. The procedure lasts on average 4-
The suites are not painful, apart from a feeling of tension of the scalp sometimes accompanied by edema passenger.
Small bleeding may occur, but it is not necessary to make dressing.
The shampoos can be made the next day on the untreated areas. The treated areas will be rinsed gently with the jet and can be washed after 48 hours.
The end result will be visible after a few months until the hair eventually relocated to fall again and a full cycle of growth.

HYPNOS BEDS MATTRESS
The Hypnos Story
HYPNOS BEDS MATTRESS
Hypnos has years of success behind the family-run company and has been producing handmade beds for over four generations – beds that have given countless nights of comfortable sleep to many thousands of people. Proud holders of two Royal Warrants, the Hypnos philosophy of quality and comfort is maintained throughout their product range. The Chairman, Peter Keen is the great grandson of the original founder and the product has been hand-crafted using traditional methods from the very first day of existence.
Deep pocket-spring beds are the trademark of Hypnos, elegant handmade beds which are still produced by craftsmen, many of whom have worked at Hypnos since their apprenticeship and who all take a great personal pride in the skilled work that goes into producing each Hypnos bed. The skills used by these craftsmen have been handed down through generations and the art of making a quality bed lives on from father to son, mother to daughter, through Hypnos.
Hypnos beds are still made in a similar way to those slept on by our fathers and grandfathers. Every detail on a Hypnos bed is considered from the natural fillings in the mattresses, to the specially balanced springs in the Royal box, to the expertly cut high quality Belgium damask cloths, to the selected soft and hard woods, to the fine handmade wool tufts. Considered, tried and tested producing the ultimate in comfort, quality and craftsmanship.
Choosing a bed is a very personal decision and one not to be undertaken lightly. When you consider that up to a third of your life will be spent in bed, it only makes sense to spend that time in Royal Comfort. At Hypnos, we make that perfect bed to suit your specific needs, for a supportive and restful nights sleep.
History of the Royal Warrant
To be a Warrant holder you must first supply the Royal Household with unrivalled quality products or services for five consecutive years. The Lord Chamberlain (head of the Royal households) advises the grantors on the granting of Royal Warrants but the final decision rests with the grantor concerned. Thereafter the Warrant is reviewed every five years. Hypnos has been handcrafting the finest bespoke mattresses for two Royal Warrant holders. Queen Elizabeth II and The Late Queen Mother.
To this day only the finest quality products are associated with the Royal Warrants and Hypnos is extremely proud to have carried the Royal Warrants of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and The Late Queen Mother for over 37 years. To be honoured by two Royal Households is unprecedented. Other Royal Warrant holders include; Rolls Royce & Bentley Motorcars, Dunlop, Aston Martin, Burberry Limited, Royal Doulton, Jaguar Motorcars, Austin Reed Group PLC, Steinway & Sons and Land Rover & Range Rover.
Genuine Side Stitching: The borders of Hypnos mattress are expertly sewn through the sides to the coil system. This is a very time consuming process but the end results are well worth while. This procedure makes a Hypnos mattress the most structurally sound mattress available in Canada.
Hand Tufting: Unlike other tufted looking mattresses in Canada, Hypnos tufts go through the entire body of the mattress. This means the tuft you see on the top is connected to the one on the bottom. Adding another layer of structural integrity and helping the natural fills stay in place.
Matching Fabric Trim: Most mattresses use a very hard pre-fabricated tape edge to give a finish to the corner. Hypnos uses the same fabric as the body of the bed. This means a very soft and luxurious finish even to the edges.
Pure Brass: many other companies put brass coated finishes on their products so they will look elegant. Only Hypnos uses solid brass plates and vents for strength and longevity of life.
Cotton and Wool are strategically placed and combined for complete climate control. Warmth in the winter and cool in the summer.
Silk and Wool let you feel like you are floating on a cloud, most say a feeling like you have never had with a mattress.
Teased White Hair and Cashmere is a unique blend of Cattle, Hog tail and Cashmere that is designed to keep its shape even after many years of service. This blend of hair is heat treated to be completely clean, then bonded to give the long life shape retention.
Belgium Damask is not only luxurious looking but the one of the most tightly woven upholstery materials available to the bedding industry and is custom made just for Hypnos.
Coil Counts: most pocket coil systems in Canada have about 500 to 800 coils in a queen size mattress. Hypnos starts over 1,000 coils and goes to over 2,000 individual pocket coils. Some other companies claim coil counts of this amount, however they typically stack coils on top of coils to accomplish this. Hypnos only uses individually wrapped full height coil for complete and perfect body forming support.
Honey Combing: Hypnos is one of the few companies that honeycomb (nest) their pocket coils together virtually eliminating the gaps between coils. This give you maximum body support no matter how you lay or how small an area you need supported.
Centre Tying: most coil manufactures connect their pocket coils together at the top in one form or another. Even the coil is still independent as one coil moves it moves the one beside it. Hypnos runs treads through the middle of its coil system allowing the tops to totally work independently of each other, again giving you perfect body support for every little curve.
Firmness vs Support: Often firmness and support are confused. Medical research has shown that it is proper support, not firmness, that cares for your muscle aches and pains. Further proper support will keep your spinal column in a straight line, in turn giving you a good nights sleep and physical well being. Hypnos’ unique coil structure is designed with this in mind. It will give you the support and comfort you need, for a good nights sleep and keep those morning aches away.
Firmness: Hypnos further offers their coils in different firmness’. This is so no matter what your body build is, there is a Hypnos mattress for you.
Belgium Damask: The average person loses 11 pounds of skin per year. Our extremely tight woven Belgium Damask almost eliminates the dead skin from penetrating into the bed. Without this dead skin Dust Mites do not have the food they need to survive.
Natural Fills: Our unique combination of natural materials produces an enviroment that Dust Mites do not like and works as a natural Dust Mite inhibitor.
Moisture Control: It is a very well know fact that Dust Mites thrive in a moist warm setting. Hypnos mattresses are designed to breath, keeping them clean and dry inside for years and in turn eliminating a Dust Mites prefered residence.
Natural Fills: Most mattresses in Canada use a combinations of different types of foams. Some are even completely foam. The average person loses about 1 cup of moisture each evening.

The vitamin is known for fighting;

* Stress
* Prevent heart disease
* Cataracts
* Macular degeneration
* Anti-carcinogenic
But that’s not all!
We know the benefits of this valuable vitamin in strengthening the immune system. It contributes notably to the formation of red blood cells while helping toiron absorption in plants.
But did you know that:
* Vitamin C also contributes to improved wound healing.
* At an antioxidant function – very important – in the fight against free radicals,which attack precisely those cells, responsible for your aging.
* It helps to produce collagen, a protein essential for the formation of connective tissue of the skin? And yes ladies, your skin also depends on your takingenough Vitamin C …
Where to find sufficient amounts of Vitamin C?
Be aware that fruits and vegetables are the main source of vitamin C. It should be consumed raw mainly because the vitamin can not stand cooking.
It is found mainly in:
* Broccoli
* Strawberry
* Lemon
* Tomato
* Orange
* Raspberries
* Grapefruit
* Parsley
* The kiwi
1. Anticancer activity!
The scientist, Linus Pauling, Nobel laureate said that two large doses of Vitamin C at a rate of 2 g or more per day, were able to fight againstcarcinogenesis. It was noted in particular that was a help and an adjuvant to chemotherapy against cancer.
Another study of 85,000 nurses who were followed for 16 years, hasdemonstrated this surprising. Two groups were evaluated. One not takingadditional vitamin C, the other yes. However, the group that consumed thevitamin C supplement showed increased protection against coronary heart disease.
Finally, nine other studies on 290 000 men and women conducted in 2004showed that an intake (700 mg over 10 years) Vitamin C 25% reduced risk ofcoronary heart disease.
1. Little practical advice:
Do not overcook your vegetables and keep food warm. Preparation is moresophisticated and cooked vegetables, more food starting loses vitamin C.Prefer baking potatoes, such as steam or twists. Freshly squeezed orange juiceevery morning, or better yet, a kiwi, already provide on their own half of our daily requirement of vitamin C. A healthy balanced diet should be enough to give usthe required dose. But in some cases it may be called to take charge. Know for example that smokers have a special need for vitamin C, each consuming 25mg cigarette
