My sister bought a new bed for my parents, so I took my parents old mattress for my bed at my apartment. I had an even older mattress that I would like to dispose of. Where can I take it? Is there a place I can take it to that would be more egological than the rest? Are there any mattress recycling centers? How do I find them?
The sun, provider of light and warmth, began to sink quickly into the west. Gold, amethyst, and red dully thrown and swirled across the great horizon, a prospect only witnessed as a greater beauty. Night encroached as wind began to whip wildly through the rolling landscape, carrying with it a chill. Clouds choked the darkened skies, stars hidden from onlookers, a storm approached. Lightning flashed and thunder cracked. The earth shook and the wind became violent. An unfortunate fellow emerged from the dark; he clung to his ragged blanket with bone white fingers. A shaggy haired head appeared from the mass of rags that clung to the boy and he strained to find a place of shelter.
He paused a moment and felt the top of his head. His fear was confirmed, rain had begun to fall. Realization crept slowly into the dormant mind, human thought revealed, and a sobering reality. Stumbling in the darkness the young man flung himself to the ground, searching for a break in the rock. Regular flashes lit up the sky, terror streaked with rain became exposed on a bold face. The rain began to fall heavily, he crawled quickly searching desperately, willing an entrance to a burrow he could curl up in. Frantically he kept moving, woolen rags clinging to his soaked skin, he began to fall, tumbling down the hill he fought to climb. He became distraught, but he felt his fall end as a springy mattress of wet grasses smacked his face. Another flash happened above him and something caught his eye.
Springing up from his position, mud and grass covering his face and clothes, he scrambled quickly to what he thought he had seen. Holding out his hands to feel the landscape he prayed that what he saw was true. He smiled to himself amidst the chaos of reality and slipped into the protection of the crevice.
A small peace, serenity from the besieging chaos, ensued for a small, fleeting moment within the cave. Fear never left the recesses of his mind, the young man began to shiver, and he was cold. Quickly he stripped his wet clothes; still it was pitch black and all he could see was the breath before his face. He propped himself against the rocky façade and began trying to calm his racing mind, trying to relax.
He didn’t realize when reality drifted to sleep, but the veil between dreams and the environment eroded and his dreams were filled with stormy nights and chilling reality of fear.
The young man opened his eyes and saw sun pour through the crevice in the wall and the sun was beginning its arduous journey across the heavens. His muscles were stiff, his back hurt, he felt that the frost had crept within his veins while his mind was still in a fog. He shifted his weight his knees and crawled painfully out into the autumn sunshine, moving muscles slightly trying to gain mobility. A sigh of relief was uttered as a crisp new day was beginning. He stood up stretching his stiff muscles in the warmth of the sunshine and his reflection caught his eye in a puddle at his feet.
His hair was a long, tangled mess of brown. Mud hid his tanned, rough skin in and covered him from head to toe and he wore woolen rags as clothing. He was small, mostly from malnutrition, but muscles would soon grow if nourished. Traveling had destroyed his leather bound shoes and worried about his clothing for the oncoming winter. Then in the same puddle, with his brown eyes staring back at him, he gave a full hardy laugh. He was a tramp! He remembered he had lost his cloak in the overnight storm, turning his head he heartlessly looked for his article of clothing, but saw nothing but rolling hills, farmlands, townhouses and something faint in the distance.
Some primal hidden instinct sparked and he felt a new found feeling of excitement. His travels, his journey, he was finally going to find work. The inner workings of his mind began to turn rapidly as he attempted to figure a plan.
Okay here is an explanation of this. It is quite tedious I recognize that, it is more of a stream of consciousness and less about dialogue and more about the introspection and realism. It ends abruptly because that is all I have written tonight. My influences are more gothic and this story will develop into a fictional story. I would like a more analysis of style and if it grabs your attention or is thought provoking. Again I did just write this in the last hour or so and I haven’t been working long.
If you are interested in knowing more I have a basic outline for the progression of the story, not very well thought out but enough to start writing, email if you want to know how it goes.
(I ramble sorry! I want to get everything out in the open!)
Thank you, Rachel! Yeah that always seems to be the problem I have identified myself with. Beginning perfectly is so paramount to a good writing.
Alright I don’t know if you are still checking this. I don’t know how to contact you by sneding an email through yahoo but my aol email adress is Spencer9663@aol.com
I am limited on money and space. Please give me some tips. I got this for free from somebody. Also, does anybody know how to take apart a box spring mattress??
Where do i get a shop vac?
My cat peed on my bed, and it soaked right through the mattress. I washed my sheets and comforter in OxiClean and then I took the cover off my mattress and washed that in OxiClean but the pee is soaked into the foam and I can still smell it. I don’t want him doing it again so I really want to get rid of it. Any tips?
I’ve started writing this book…although I have no idea if I will be able to get it published or not. Here’s a little excerpt from it [ Please do not steal ]:
“Natsuki Velius Itami!” the beast growled at me, “Get down here and wash the laundry! Clothes won’t clean themselves.”
I sighed and closed my book, “I’m coming mother!” The ancient pages crinkled as I set it down on my bed. Floorboards made a cracking sound when my bare feet trampled across them. I turned around for a moment to take in the best part of my day: my room, which was still very crappy. My room was really just the attic of our old rickety home. I had a twin mattress pushed up against the wall for a bed, a tiny dresser that used to be my dad’s, a couple cardboard boxes tapped together in the corner for a bookshelf, and my favorite part: my writing desk.
Even though we lived in the twenty-first century, our house looked like it was stuck in the 1950’s. See, my dad died when I was seven. That was eight years ago. I am fifteen now. My mom—she and I don’t get along all that well. She’s a drug addict. I was born when she was only twelve and my father was fourteen.
All my life I have been abused. My mother—or the beast, as I call her—has never wanted me or liked me. I was a mistake. My parents ran away from home. They were rebels. At the mere age of twelve, my mother already had a baby, was a drug addict, and smoked.
My father, well, wasn’t as bad. He just hated the world and wanted to get back at his parents. He dropped out of school and ran away from home. We all lived in the woods for about half a year. Eventually we were found and taken to a foster home. My mother claimed that we were all orphans and I was her baby sister. From there my dad got a job and eventually raised enough money to buy us a house when I was five.
Dad was the one who used to protect me from the beast. He took me to the park and enrolled me in school like a real father would. He tried to keep my mother and me as far away from each other as possible.
Then, when I was seven and he was twenty-one, he was murdered. My mother told me the same thing would happen if I tried to escape from her. Ever since then I have had to take care of her and pay the bills. I learned how to defend and take care of myself. I’m very mature for my age, I guess.
“Natsuki! What took you so long climbing down that ladder? Come on! Chop chop and get your lazy but into the kitchen!” commanded my mother. She stood five feet, four inches tall, and had ratty brown hair. Her eyes were amber, an unnatural color, although they did fit her temper.
“Sorry mommy dearest,” I lied, “I was just admiring your beauty.” This was another thing I could not stand about the demon. I had to kiss up to her just to stay alive. It wouldn’t even save me from my daily whipping.
“Get scrubbing brat!” she shoved me onto the kitchen floor. A bucket of soapy water and wringer were kicked in my direction.
I picked up a shirt and started washing it. Eventually I got through the whole basket and started to scrub the floors. This was how my normal morning went: get up at six, read, do chores, eat an apple, throw on school uniform, and head to school. It was a simple and boring life. When I was ready to go, I glanced in the mirror on my dresser for a moment.
Is it good? Or is it really crappy quality and I have no chance of getting it published?
By the way, it is fantasy…and this is just what her parents told her. Natsuki/Natalie is just suffering from the disease of blonde. Her dad isn’t exactly human cx
And she wasn’t born the normal way.
I have a friend that has around 0 to spend on a bed, but all I can find for her that’s cheap is a futon mattress. Would that be comfortable enough to sleep on in the long run?
I had a toddler bed given to me, but there is nothing on the bottom to support the mattress. It is the size that holds a crib mattress. Does anyone know what comes with it standard? It looks like Little Tykes doesn’t carry this one anymore.
I hate laying on the wires when I use the electric mattress pad. My husband says to just put our regular mattress pad over the top of it, but that seems to me like it would be a fire hazard.
It is an electric mattress pad, not an electric blanket.
I bought a name brand mattress about 8 months ago from LS Ayres and I’m finding that it sags a little bit. When I look at the foot of the bed I can see that it is not even across the top and dips in the middle. The bed is on a flat wood platform frame (instead of box springs).
Additionally, the actual mattress is 18 inches thick including a very thick pillowtop.
Should I be concerned with taking this mattress back? I know I have a warranty, but is this normal or am I freaking out about something small?
Looking to buy just a twin mattress( no box springs) online. I would like to find something around 0 if possible( with or without shipping) doesnt have to great quality. Anyone know any websites to look at?
What is your favorite brand/type style of mattress? Pillows? We ordered our pillows from the Hampton Inn website and they are fantastic. They are feather down and hypoallergenic.
I finally got a new mattress, so I want to get rid of my old one. It’s too heavy to carry downstairs, and I don’t even think it will fit through the door, so I was going to just burn it right in the room. How do I prevent the whole house from burning down? I set it in the middle of the room away from the walls, and covered the walls with foil. Should this be good enough?
I have a mattress that was donated, and found it to have multiple urine stains. It’s a great mattress, and I’d like to be able to clean it, rather than just throw it out. How can I get these set-in stains out?
I’ve had my mattress and boxspring, same one for almost 7 years. Is it time to buy a new set?
I live a little out of his range but he is still delivering a box spring mattress for me for a good deal. What do I tip?
Does anyone know where i can buy cheap, new, eggcrate mattress pads in Melbourne?
I bought a Sealy Posturpedic and it started sagging within 6 months, now my husband and I are looking at mattresses again. What has been the best mattress you have owned for the cost? Would you reccomend getting a less expensive mattress and getting a nice pillowtop like cover for it?
My mattress is fairly new and was great when I was single but is sagging now that I share my bed with my 6′2", 250lb. boyfriend. What is the best way to fix the problem without having to buy a new mattress? We are both waking up every morning with back pain.
This is going to sound crazy but I really want to try to find a bed like I had in my dorm days but can’t find it at all. It is really quite simple. You have a normal twin mattress on a frame. You can make your bed up and then easily the frame tucks so half the bed is hidden (longwise) and it looks like a couch. The back looks like a couch and is upholstered (and the one we had you could lift those up and there was some storage space in them.) but the point is there were no cushions covering up the mattress, you just made your bed up and sat on it. Therefore the beauty of this is you don’t have to strip the bed every time you tuck it. I am probably moving to a studio so this kind of bed would be ideal. If I get really desperate I will call my college dorm and ask them where they got them but something tells me they were so old they don’t make them anymore.
I don’t think it is a futon. From what I have seen a futon is a really soft mattress folded in two so half is the back of the couch and half is the seating space. This had a wooden back to it with some fabric on it to make it look like a couch but it was a regular innerspring twin mattress as the seating space.
If it helps I went to Cal State U Bakersfield
I don’t think I am explaining this correctly. The mattress part that I slept on was never folded or contorted in any way. That is my main reason for liking this sort of bed. folding a matress wears it out. The mattress was a twin and was placed horizontally on the frame. You then slightly lift up and in and about a third of the bed was hidden so it more resembled a couch. I am really thinking this is an old model that is no longer made but was hoping someone had seen something like it.
A local furniture store closed and donated their leftovers to our local thrift store. I picked up two tempurpedic adjustable beds but without the mattresses. I can’t afford their mattresses so I’m wondering what kind of mattress I can use on it. Thanks!
I’m getting mixed answers from different places online and locally. What kind of mattress do you use on your adjustable bed? Thanks.
Anybody have ideas on how to clean an eggshell mattress pad? It’s made of foam so I think that the washing machine would destroy it. I would spray it down with a house but the water is secondary water (irrigation water) so I can’t imagine that is very sanitary.
So what is the average life span on an eggshell mattress? It wasn’t cheap so I’d rather not just toss it.
I tried to clean a pee stain out of a mattress and realized that whether it’s water or pee or whatever, when it dries I can still see the outline of where it was wet. How do I properly clean the mattress without leaving lines from where the mattress was wet and then dried? I have no trouble removing the stain and the odor. But, now it’s slightly yellow where it was wet. Would a carpet steam cleaner do the job? After cleaning, it looks worse now than when I started.
I mean the memory foam mattress of 10 inches thick, not just a topper of 2 inches. Costco is selling the twin size at about 0, so it is definitely more expensive than most of the regular twin mattress.
We had a queen memory foam mattress for 5 years and we like it. Just not sure whether it is good for my kids, age 2 and 4.
Looking for a list of things to look for. I know that there are a ton of disreputable mattress retailers out there.
