Are you among the millions of people who cringe whenever that electric or gas bill comes in the mail? There is no doubt about it; utility costs just continue to go up. So, what can you do about it? Although you can’t regulate the rates, you can take steps to keep costs at a minimum. Here is a simple home heating checklist to be sure your home is running at maximum efficiency. -Is your heating system more than 15 years old? If so, consider replacing it with a more modern energy efficient unit.

-On sunny days keep your curtains open to let in the sunlight. You would be surprised at how much warmth this can provide.

-Turn down the thermostat to 65 degrees, especially when you’re away at work or in bed at night. A thermostat that allows you to program it is a great option here.

-Be sure your furnace ductwork is properly sealed and not leaking. Over the years, leaks can easily pop up.

-Turn on ceiling fans to the low setting to help in circulating the warm air that rises, down to the floor level.

-Seal your windows with film during winter months to keep cold air out.

-Be sure there is nothing blocking your registers or air vents.

-Keep the damper closed on your fireplace when you aren’t using it.

-Seal up the areas around doors and windows that is letting in the cold air. This in, itself, can have a dramatic effect on home heating costs.

-Do you use a boiler for winter heating? If so, make sure the pipes are well insulated.

-Have a heating and cooling technician come out at least every 2 years to check over your furnace and complete heating system.

These tips will help insure that you will be getting the most out of your heating dollars, instead of sending them off to the utility company.

Memory Foam Body Pillow is the Perfect Addition to your Home

I live in a studio apartment that is about the size of two shoeboxes super-glued together. In this apartment I have the basic bachelor pad necessities: custom built PC, a very comfortable queen size pillow top bed, and a 42” LCD television. That being said, I have little to no room for any other furniture or seating of any kind.

If I am watching TV I am most likely sitting on my bed so I thought I should get a large pillow which would allow me to do so comfortably without ruining my mattress or the linens. I found a 10” “round” memory foam body pillow on a website that stressed the comfort level and the multiple practical uses of their product. Even though the main point the site stressed was the use of the body pillow as a pregnancy aide (positioning for the mother-to-be to improve comfort while sleeping or resting and as a cradle for the new-born child), I thought I could make use of the size and shape of the pillow as a prop to forward on, set behind my back while sitting up in bed, and as a sleeping aide. I bit the bullet and ordered the non-returnable pillow in the hopes I could at least sell it to a friend, or perhaps on eBay or something.

I don’t know how I managed to survive over a year in my apartment without this pillow. I have had it for almost 3 months now and my only concern is whether my constant use of the pillow will warrant me having to purchase another one within a few years. I can lay on my stomach clutching the pillow under my arms and chest in great comfort, I can sit up in bed and against the wall with the pillow providing support for my lower back, and I can wrap around it at night to help me sleep. One unexpected surprise when I received the pillow was that it is 100% memory foam! By this, I do not mean it was 100% memory foam for the first inch and then some sort of filler the remaining 9 inches, I mean it was a huge chunk of memory foam all throughout! It is extremely comfortable and could serve as a home defense devise given its large size and sturdy construction. Hope this article helps those of you who are looking for the perfect body pillow for your home or apartment.
