I hope everyone is excited to give our contour pillows as gifts this Christmas. We had a record number sold this season and i assume they were purchased as gifts. If you received one and love it let me know 
If you’re not sure which way you’re supposed to be sleeping on it, no worries, you’re certainly not the first to ask. They should come with instructional videos.
Merry Christmas
For everyone who thought Monsanto (MON) was struggling, their share price indicates a bright future. $8.50/share in 2002 to $104.50/share as of Dec 14th 2007.
If you havn’t heard of Monsanto here’s the rundown. Monsanto makes genetically modified seeds and they’re winning the GMO battle. Monsanto seeds contain genes that kill bugs and tolerate weed-killing pesticides. 7% of the worlds farmland acreage is now grown with genetically modified crops.
GMO bovine growth hormone that’s given to cows to increase milk production is also made by Monsanto. Here’s a video on how Monsanto strong armed companies into misleading the public on health issues concerning their bovine growth hormone.
BusinessWeek recently featured the company in their Dec 17th issue. Monsanto quietly made their way into our foods because most of their crops are not directly consumed by humans but included in processed foods. So you’re ingesting them indirectly. In the U.S, approx 60% – 70% of all formulated foods – processed foods containing more than one ingredient – contain GMO’s.
You’re consuming GMO’s in:
- Corn syrup or cornstarch which is in most processed foods.
- Soybean seeds that yield oil used as a substitution for trans-fat oils at KFC and other trans-fat free fast food joints.
- Margarine
- Canola Oil
- Squash
- Papaya
The demand for Genetically modified crops has exploded. Countries like the U.S.A., Canada, Brazil, Argentina, China and India have fallen in love with the seeds.
In 1970 the average corn harvest with 70 bushels an acre. In 2006 it was 150 bushels an acre. By 2030 they predict yields will push 300 bushels an acre.
The argument is that GMO’s allow farmers to use less pesticides and less toxic pesticides. More yield so less land being farmed. etc. Do we really want to be going in that direction? The profit margins are better so all medium to large farms will eventually go GMO. Will ppl have allergies to GMO food? Will there be environmental contamination?

So all our old models went on clearance today. Last years and previous years stock must be sold asap because they take up space!
See them by visiting our mattress sale page.
For the price these older models are excellent. Anyone close buying a name brand memory foam mattress should flip over these.
Back in the day we used to compare the best on the market, take notes, make improvements and create our models. The huge advantage we had was our natural memory foam. So our models were similar to other on the market but were made with our natural memory material which breathes 80% better than other memory foams.
They are by no means close to what we’re building now but todays models are generations ahead of everything else on the market. No glues, 6.26lbs density memory foam and far superior comfort and spinal alignment
For anyone wanting great quality for the price look no further. Check out our mattress clearance.
