What You Need to Know Before Buying a Mattress Such as Allswell

Wazzup Pilipinas! 

A couple of years back, I had problems with my back and shoulders. For a long time, I depended on painkillers not knowing what the culprit was. It took consultations and research to find the problem and its solution finally. All along my bedding had been the issue.

The reality is, a lot of individuals struggle with aches because they are not sleeping on the right bed. Before settling on a mattress, ensure that it complements your sleep habits and needs.

When shopping for foam mattresses such as Allswell, there are a couple of things you need to know, it’s best to follow a guide or what I have discussed in detail below. They include:


How Hot or Cold Does It Sleep
Although the introduction of memory foam mattresses into the market changed sleep forever, it wasn't without its shortcomings. Traditionally, the viscoelastic foam tends to sleep very hot. The high temperatures will disrupt the quality of your rest.

Therefore, when buying foam such as Allswell, ensure that it’s fitted with features that enhance the cooling effect. You’ll find the top foam brands use gel infused memory foam and covers that will wick the heat away.

Some foam beds are used together with spring hybrids which sleeper cooler. Also look for the foam quality as the best sleep cool, and don’t pose a threat to the environment or your health.

Your Preferred Comfort Feel
Before settling on a mattress with multiple firmness options like Allswell, it's essential to establish your preferred feel. It makes it easier to decide on a bed.

The sleeping position we take at night determines what firmness level is suitable for you. There are three options – Firm, medium-firm and soft mattresses.

The majority of us are comfortable on a mattress with an average firmness rating. However, some back and stomach sleepers will love a firmer surface, while other stomach and side sleepers will enjoy a soft mattress.

Are You Sharing The Bed?
There are aspects that those sharing the bed must consider other than the firmness, and they are:

Edge support
Motion transfer

Edge support is crucial if you're planning on utilizing the entire the bed surface. Foam beds tend to fall short on this feature. You'll find that as you move from the center to the sides of the mattress, the level of support weakens. Identify what the companies have done to enhance the comfort at the sides. It will also prevent you from falling while sleeping.

Motion transfer is important because you don't want to have your sleep interrupted by moving your partner continually. Ensure the bedding has limited motion transfer. Foam performs well on this aspect. You can check out the Allswell review on details of how it performs on motion transfer and edge support.

Does It Have a Warranty Period?
The best brands on the market have a warranty period. They understand that a mattress is a long-term investment and as such ensures that the consumers are protected. Majority of beds have a 10 – 20 years guarantee period.

Although most bedding has been made affordable, they are still costly, and you need protection. Check out the warranty before buying your mattress regardless of whether it's foam, spring or latex.

Sleep Trials and Returns
What I love about the sleep industry is the return policies and sleep trials. When you buy a quality mattress such as Allswell, it comes with a sleep trial period for you to try it out. In case it doesn't complement your sleep needs, you can have it returned and get your money back. Go for companies that offer such perks.

So, your sleep needs, preferences, the warranty, return policy, sleep trial periods and firmness rating are among the key things that you need to know before settling on a mattress such as Allswell.

World Class Philippines Recognizes 2018 Awardees

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Filipinos are known to be really hard-working, innovative and creative as well, and it is but proper that they be rewarded for all the blood, sweat and tears that they had to undergo just to keep their respective business running smooth and efficiently. It is also highly inspiring to receive a recognition to serve as a reminder to keep doing the right thing towards a better and more profitable yet filled with social responsibility.

World Class Philippines was recently held on June 16, 2018 at the luxurious City of Dreams Manila in Paranaque City to recognize the 2018 companies, brands and individuals who excelled in their respective fields or industries. The award-giving recognizes the achievements in the journey towards world class excellence. True enough, it is with great pride to be among fellow businessmen or entrepreneurs who share the vision of working hard and exerting extra effort to become or maintain being a global brand.

Aside from Wazzup Pilipinas receiving a world-class Philippines award in the filed of Social Media, several other brands also got their share of fame as they go up on stage to receive their own new trophy and plaque to be recognized among the many awardees. Going up there makes us very proud to be Filipinos especially while wearing our Filipiniana attires. Of course, barong from Kultura for the gentlemen like Wazzup Pilipinas founder Ross Del Rosario. We're supposed to get a Renee Salud barong, but due to lack of time it was not finish to make it for the gala night. Anyway, there's still more awards coming soon and we'll soon have the opportunity to show off the creation of one of the Philippines icons in fashion.

The gala and awards night, dubbed as the Gabi ng Parangal, was opened by the ceremonial slicing of the cake and wine toasting with the World Class Philippines Council, Guest of Honors, Distinguished Guests and Sponsors. The cake was provided by Mildred's Baked Products, also an awardee in the field of Cakes and Pastries industry.

Notable personalities during the awards night were Businessman Joel Cruz of Aficionado, Celebrity Ara Mina of Hazel Berry Cafe, Ms. Sandy Santos of Farm Cradle, the MMDA Clearing Ops Team with MMDA Spokesperson Celine Pialago and Team Head Col. Edison Bong Nebrija, MMDA Deputy Chairman USec Frisco San Juan, Mr. Hisayuki Nagatome of Junca Salon, and many more CEOs and owners of business establishments in the country.

Performing at the event during dinner time were Empress Tribe, Chorus Vocales, Sindaw Philippines Performing Arts Guild, Wanlu and his Puppets, and also Ara Mina who gave us a couple of song numbers.

Aside from receiving their respective awards, each awardee has the opportunity to mingle with fellow awardees to network for more collaborations. We've met many business owners whom we learned also share the same commitment to our customers to provide them with the best products and services by eagerly listening to their feedback and desires. After all, we exist because of our customers so it is but proper that we work on their "Likes" and we should "Pusuan" their comments and suggestions, even how negative they are, since it is our way to find out how we could improve on our craft. There may be some rude and aggressive remarks, but still we should be grateful that they are voicing out their concerns. We believe that it is a healthy exchange of thoughts and sentiments to help us grow and evolve to our best version of ourselves.

Now that we have received our awards, the journey doesn't end there because we still have to sustain our momentum towards the top. We believe that as long as there are more new businesses coming in or reinventing themselves, we should also keep ourselves updated in order to catch up or not be left behind by what's trending or the latest.
