Purchasing a new mattress can be a grueling experience. You can do hours of research online googling “what is the best mattress?” and comparing styles, features, prices, return policies and more and still not know which mattress to choose. Then you start asking friends, family, and even strangers what they are sleeping on and find yourself more confused than ever!
A mattress is as subjective as a bottle of perfume. What one person loves another might hate, making it a tricky item to review. If you’re looking for an affordable mattress that is both comfortable AND ships free with Amazon Prime, then keep reading!
We loved our cheapo ($350) memory foam mattress we bought on Overstock.com in 2008. It was the first mattress my husband and I had actually purchased for ourselves. It was a little too firm for our taste so we bought a memory foam mattress topper to soften it up. Then it was perfect! We loved that mattress for years. (Made 3 babies on it!) It was great. Then in July of 2016 we were asked to review the Layla Mattress. I was very hesitant because I loved our mattress but decided to give it a try.
Let me preface by saying, moving king size mattress and finding a place to store old ones is NOT FUN.
That said, I begrudgingly took my old mattress off our bed and put the new one on. The Layla mattress was soft, cushy, and was masquerading as an incredibly comfortable mattress.
I found out I was pregnant with our 4th child right after putting the new mattress on our bed and within 6 months started having mixed feelings about the bed. I thought maybe it was the new mattress but then decided no, it was just because I was pregnant that I was having so much back pain and couldn’t sleep.
Fast forward one year and both me and my husband were now suffering from chronic lower back pain. We kept thinking maybe it was because I was pregnant, then maybe it was because I was holding the baby wrong, then maybe it was because I was sleeping in the wrong position, then maybe it was because of my age, or maybe it was the weather, or this, or that… That is until my husband could barely stand up straight anymore and was hobbling around like a 90-year-old man. Again, he blamed it on a variety of different things like his age, sitting on airplanes, his hour-long commute to work, his desk chair at work, etc, etc. Suddenly it dawned on us that maybe, just maybe, it was the mattress.
Fast forward another year of suffering and we were both visiting the chiropractor weekly. It seems like the mattress just kept getting squishier and squishier every day! Needless to say, we waited too long to finally decide that we definitely needed a new mattress.
I heard about BedStory Mattresses a few months before they approached me to review their mattress. I had only heard good things about their mattresses but honestly, they weren’t on the top of my list of mattresses I was considering. Having only owned two mattresses in my married life, I’m definitely not an expert! I knew there were a few things I absolutely needed in a mattress though…
Must be a king size!
Memory Foam!
No motion transfer! (We cosleep, need I say more?!)
No toxic flame retardant chemicals!
BedStory Mattresses immediately appeared to meet our needs, so we decided to go for it! We were also impressed with the other reviews we found on their mattresses and decided to risk our backs, once again, to review a mattress.
BedStory has three mattress models with springs in them and two memory foam mattress models.
BedStory recommended their Luxury Spring Mattress to us, even though we were more interested in their gel memory foam model. They promised it was soft and supportive withconvoluted foam, premium gel-infused memory foam and individually pocketed springs for pressure-relieving support.
It sounded good to us and we were pretty sure anything would be better than our quickly failing Layla mattress so we decided to go for it!
We purchased the BedStory 12 Inch Gel Hybrid Luxury Spring Mattress in Black on Amazon and received it within 4 days. Our valiant UPS guy brought the extremely heavy box (140 lbs!!!) to our porch and offered to bring it in the house, but I told him to just leave it on the porch unless he was willing to bring it all the way up to my bedroom! I was joking of course because obviously he can’t do that.
I waited till my husband came home from work and we pushed the box up the stairs since there was no way we could lift it. Once it was inside our bedroom, our 2-year-old son immediately wanted to stand on the box and claim it. (He’s like a cat – he loves boxes.)
Following the directions on the box, we carefully cut open the box, slid out the mattress, carefully removed the outer wrapper on the mattress and then quickly positioned the mattress on our bed frame before it started to expand. It sounded like an inflating air mattress as air leaked into the shrink wrap. Within a few minutes, the mattress was nearly full size and flat.
We left it in the plastic for a few minutes and two of our kids walked around on the mattress which appeared to help it expand and fluff up. Then we removed the outer plastic and threw away the silica gel packs that were vacuumed sealed with the mattress.
We found that our mattress had a very strong odor upon taking it out of the sealed bag. We opened our windows, put a couple of fans on it, and the smell dissipated pretty quickly. I suspect the smell is the materials the bed is made out of getting compressed and concentrated so you get hit with an odor once you open the bag. The smell also might be the bag itself which was tacky to the touch with some sort of adhesive, I assume. Either way, I could no longer detect a smell on the mattress when we put the sheets on it to sleep on the bed that first night.
I’m not great at videos, but I made a quick one to tell you a little bit more about our experience with the BedStory mattress.
What Else You Need To Know
The top of the mattress is covered in a polyester fabric cover, followed by two layers of cooling convoluted foam, a layer of gel-infused memory foam and finally a layer of individually pocketed springs to ensure a quiet sleep.
The mattress comes compressed, rolled, and vacuum-sealed in a big box. It can take 48-72 hours for the mattress to fully expand but we were able to sleep on ours within 6 hours. In rare cases, it may take longer for the mattress to fully expand like not taking it out of the box as soon as you receive it or other factors like cold weather.
BedStory offers 10-year limited warranty and lifetime after-sale service for all of their mattresses.
The Verdict
Since we were a bit skeptical about whether we would like a spring mattress, we kept our old Layla mattress leaning up against the wall on the other side of our bedroom, just in case! After a whole week on our new BedStory mattress, we are ready to throw our Layla mattress out the window.
We’ve been getting a much better night’s sleep on this BedStory mattress than we have in what feels like a very long time.
True Pheromones: Review And Full Product Line Summary (Not A Scam)
True Pheromones has been on the “radar” for some time now – but many people are skeptical due to some of its “exaggerated” claims. The truth is, it IS a bit exaggerated… but they are legitimate, working products.
For some reason, most of their products work particularly well on the younger women from 18+ into their early 20‘s…
… I believe it’s because they are not as “pure” as some pheromones, and naturally buffer some effects – which works in their favor tremendously.
As I advise in my article here, there are several “marketing strategies” that you should look out for, that indicate a vendor might be hyping up products in order to make more sales.
And in today’s online world, you can never be too safe.
There are simply way too many people out there who think they can make shit up about a product, and continue ripping people off without repercussions.
Fortunately, True Pheromones actually DOES offer a genuine, working product line – despite their slightly exaggerated claims.
In fact, unlike the real scam artists such as Nexus pheromones or Pherlure, True Pheromones had reached out in the past to pheromone testers asking about products they’d like to see.
The only product I dislike from them is The Gilroy Oceans 13 pheromone patch — this dud was made as an attempt to replicate the movie, and perhaps ride on its hype.
However, let’s talk about their other, actually working products which are true hidden gems in the pheromone world.
One such product was a true gem, and a breakthrough in pheromone world:
True Love – an incredibly “crushy” formula that made women feel like putty in your hands.
It was a real life “love potion”, and still is an excellent product – standalone, or combo’d with other more “alpha” formulas.
I’ll write more about True Love (and their other products shortly), but it just goes to show that they made an effort to create products that actually work, rather than jumping on the “hype” bandwagon.
One other thing: The products are actually very similar to the Androtics Direct line, except a lot more affordable.
In fact, True Pheromones (along with other vendors) are banned from being mentioned on PheroTalk – the Androtics forum.
Frankly, if Androtics Direct hadn’t tried to completely rip people off and doubled their prices on very simple products, I might have considered the move pretty unethical by True Pheromones…
… however, considering Androtics awful behavior, I have no problems with a company who showed up to create affordable, working products for beginners, as well as more advanced pheromone users.
Although I was skeptical at first, I’ve had some surprisingly awesome results using True Love, True Instinct, True Alpha, True Jerk, and few of their communication products for men (True Trust, True Charisma, True Radiance, True Opener).
Below is a summary of all the best products available by True Pheromones.
True Love – A “Crushy”, Magnetic Powerhouse For Attracting Young Women…
True Love was a breakthrough when it was first released – it was in fact a pheromone veteran who came up with the right ratios to create a truly “breakthrough” romance formula.
True Pheromones then took that idea (with permission I believe), and then created one of their BEST products to date…
A product designed to instill a feeling of “butterflies” for women (especially younger women).
True Love is just one of a few fascinating products that appeal to creating “crushes” from women.
But just how effective is it for making women become completely “crazy” about the wearer?
Surprisingly enough, True Love does an incredible job… it is a finely tuned mix of Meo-EST, Androstadienone, and -nol’s that make up a well rounded signature that is very “crushy” – especially to younger women.
It will make women feel much more affectionate around you, and have a desire for physical closeness.
It also makes women feel “open” to communicating and expressing themselves around you, as well as makes them act more “girly”… they feel an attachment to you, and will become “mushy” around the wearer…
However, True Love DOES have some “downsides” (which are easily averted).
One of them is that it can come off a little bit “beta”, especially on its own. To counter this effect, I highly recommend that you use a lower dose (2 sprays, or 2 drops if you get the oil).
OR, mix it with an “alpha” type product, such as Alfa Maschio or SOB-XS. Both work very well with it in combination…
I recommend the latter, because mixing it with alpha type products gives them both completely new dimensions, and creates a “synergy” that makes them stand out even more.
The soft, romantic/crushy feelings of True Love, combined with alpha products is extremely attractive to many different types of women.
Some people have asked me about the difference between True Love and Nude.
I believe that True Love creates a more “physical” type of butterflies feeling, as I have tested the core ingredient Meo-EST by itself.
It feels much more physical, rather than the “emotional” kind of feeling that Nude tends to create (both are vastly different products though).
With all that said, it’s important to remember that True Love is a “double-edged sword”. It has powerful effects when used correctly, or it can completely backfire if you try to abuse its power.
What I mean is that if you use too much, you’ll lose your “social status”, you risk getting friendzoned, and feeling the negative effects of androstadienone.
To wrap it up, True Love is a “true” gem in pheromone world history.
Here’s a quick summary of True Love’s effects:
It was, and still is a fantastic product if you want women to feel a certain type of way about you… it can make them affectionate, feel more attached, and behave in “girlfriendy” ways when you’re around them.
Some signs that True Love is working is when you notice women have those sweet “bedroom eyes” around you... it seems as though they are star struck, and looking at you in awe, they seem much more open than usual, they feel comfortable expressing themselves around you and generally want to be close by.
Also, if you aren’t yet acquainted with some women, it also makes for an outstanding attention-grabber… I’ve had many stares out the corner of women’s eyes, double takes, and women trying to come closer to me in order for me to open them.
True Love is an excellent add-on to your other sexual/alpha type products… it will balance out the slightly “soft” pheromone signature with a more dominant vibe which most women respond very well to. This crushy feeling + an alpha pheromone is a great combo for dating, pickup, and escalation.
Do not order the copulins “upgrade”… it simply does not work well with True Love. This molecule can give women the impression that you’ve recently been with other women, which creates a “clash”… it will confuse women and maybe even make them angry at you.
I’ve found up to 6 sprays extremely effective, especially on younger women… however, it’s a MUST to combine high doses like this with something more “alpha” or “sexual”. Some recommended products include Alfa Maschio or SOB-XS (it works fantastically with those products).
True Alpha – A Cool, Light Status Blend (With Awesome Self Effects)
If you’re looking to “amp up” your alpha status/authority, without coming off like a hard-ass… True Alpha makes for a really cool “status” blend.
Unlike other products designed to give you a social status/authority hike, True Alpha does it in a way which is not overbearing, nor over the top…
… it provides just the right amount of status to make people treat you like an authority without scaring them off, or them only listening to you because they’re scared.
It is also a fantastic add-on for other alpha products, as it can make them more “friendly”, WITHOUT lowering your status… in fact, I have used this as a buffer when I’ve clearly OD’d on more intimidating blends.
Unlike using socials, it won’t just buffer out the hard edges – it “fills in the gaps”, and rounds out your signature very well.
Surprisingly, True Alpha also has packs a punch in the “self-effects” department.
Soon after applying, I feel a sense of wellbeing, calm, and feeling “centered”.
This also creates a vibe that you are trustworthy, know what you’re doing, and provides a very natural “leader” type of vibe.
Again, even though this will give a great status hike, it is also very attractive to younger women.
Perhaps its the ratios of communication pheromones that they use in their formulations, but it is a noticeable trend among their product line.
True Instinct – A Surprisingly Well Rounded Attraction Formula
True Instinct definitely came as a bit of surprise (to be honest, I wasn’t expecting much of True Pheromones at first, but they really came through with some solid products).
Why?
My first experience with True Instinct came from a “deodorant” version of the product that I got as a sample.
I immediately thought it was a cool idea as nobody had spoken about this product at the time… however, after applying it I did get hit with some POWERFUL self effects.
After applying it, I had used it at work (which can get a bit humid and sweaty), and noticed that women who would occasionally come from the office (for work purposes) would hang around and start to chit chat a lot more.
There are several women that have to co-ordinate things through me, and I immediately noticed the difference in their demeanor and the way they were communicating with me…
It just seemed more “sweet” – like they were wanting more than what it was (a work relationship).
Women feel safe, attracted, and want to be in your presence…
True Instinct is a fantastic basic attraction product that is well rounded enough for every day use.
True Jerk – The Answer to Androtics Direct “Instant Jerk”
If you haven’t already noticed, True Pheromones named their products similarly to how AD does.
However, they do a great imitation of the products, at a much more affordable price…
One of those products is “True Jerk” – which was designed to create an “arrogant” vibe, which is attractive, dominant, and sexy… but also at times repulsive.
Now you might wonder, why making some women angrier, or even being a “jerk” is a good thing.
To put it simply, some women simply don’t respond to normal flirting or even decent guys.
They are the epitome of “bad” women, and are attracted to REAL jerks (and yes, they are attracted to emotional vampires for a reason)…
People who screw around, treat them like garbage, and then discard them when they’re bored.
Of course, a pheromone product won’t make you do all those things.
But True Jerk can help you get noticed by these women who don’t respond to normal attraction formulas by projecting a vibe that they naturally gravitate to.
True Jerk is a good attraction product, but I personally only find it effective on this sub-segment of women…
… which is great if all you’re looking for is “fast” relationships.
I’ve moved on from those days, but it is fun to recall on memories created by hitting on different kinds of women and unraveling their little games.
Mastering women who are like this can also take your skills with more “normal” women to the next level (few know what I mean here).
True Trust – A “Close Bonding” Trust Blend
There are a lot of doubts in pheromone world about whether or not o.x.y.t.o.c.i.n really works (I have to space it like this as the search engine gods think I am trying to sell a drug for mentioning it on this page).
Personally, I think it does, because there is a noticeable difference between when I wear it and not, with a variety of products that contain the ingredient.
However, I am much more strategic with it. than most people…
If I know I need to expose a woman to this “trust” molecule, I will spray it somewhere which will get very close to her nose.
Usually, on my shoulder if she’s sitting next to me, or on my shirt when she goes in for a hug.
Anyway, oxy-to-cin is also a chemical that is released after orgasm.
However, outside the body, it has a very short half life of about 45 minutes to 1 hour tops.
I mix it in with strong alpha/sexual products from time to time, and it always makes transactions a bit smoother, because women simply feel like I am more trustworthy with it on (sometimes they can be intimidated by strong alpha or sexual blends).
Other than that, I rarely use True Trust standalone – however, it is still a great communication product, and useful if you’re on a date with a “skeptical” woman.
Your words will simply hold more weight, and you’ll come off as a much more “genuine” person than you would otherwise. These are very magnetic and attractive personality traits to have.
True Opener, True Radiance, True Charisma, And True Communication… “Don’t Get This If You Just Want A One Night Stand Because She Will Keep Coming Back.”
The quote is mentioned on the sales page, and it did give me quite a chuckle when I read it.
However, these products are all very similar (except for True Opener, which is purely a social with no “bonding” ingredients like androstadienone).
… I decided to bundle all of them into one, because they are all very similar products, with the ratios of certain molecules flipped around.
Namely, androstadienone, mixed with different ratios of alpha/beta androsterone.
In plain English, this simply means that these 2 molecules work extremely well together to create a very attractive vibe… they all create “clingy” behavior (except for TC as I mentioned earlier), and make communicating with women a lot easier.
You might wonder why it’s important to have great communication and why it’s such a common theme in my reviews.
It’s simple – communication will make the difference between getting the girl… or not.
It doesn’t matter how alpha or sexual your signature is, if she feels threatened by you, or finds it difficult to communicate with you, you are not getting anywhere with her.
The “communication” products from True Pheromones are excellent standalones for being fun, social, and friendly with women. As well as awesome products to add on to more alpha/sexual signatures in case things aren’t “flowing” the way you’d like them to.
If you feel there is a lack of “chemistry” between you, and the women you want – try adding these in and see what happens.
After using the entire product line, I can safely say that the True Pheromones product line is pretty decent.
No, they’re not as complex as some other vendors, but they do offer solid products that work.
Not to mention, they also are a tinkerers dream (which I am, and partly the reason I got very good at testing pheromones)…
Many of the products provide excellent bases, as well as add-ons to existing products to mix and match so you can create a formula that works for you, or amp up the effects of your other products.
In fact, that’s where the REAL fun of the True Pheromones is (for me anyway)…
However, I am an advanced pheromone user – so mixing and matching products for me is quite simple… if you are NEW to pheromones, True offers an excellent line up of products to get you going,
Don’t forget, there’s a FULL 365 day money back guarantee.
At first, I was quite skeptical of ordering from True Pheromones myself.
But after hearing about other people having success with the products, I eventually decided to take the plunge and buy the lot.
It is a LOT cheaper than buying each product separately, and will kick start your pheromone arsenal.
However, if you have ANY doubts about the products not working (and you don’t really need to worry, TP is solid), then you can get your money back with no hassles or drama.
And it’s for a FULL 365 days… that’s an entire year to figure out if the products are worth it to you or not (which I’m sure it will be).
Can’t afford the whole lot? You’ve atleast GOT to try True Love (Best Product From The TP Product Line)
Times are tough, and we’re all looking for ways to save money – so it’s definitely understandable if you can’t afford to buy all these pheromones.
However, if you would atleast like to add a few products to your arsenal, I would definitely go with the first 3 recommendations I reviewed above.
They simply SLAY in terms of effects on women (and specifically younger ones).
They’re well balanced for communication, attraction, and make killer “tweaking” tools to all your favorite products (and make them better if you want to combo them up).
Like I said, True Pheromones doesn’t have anything “groundbreaking” (except for maybe True Love), but they do work, are affordable, and make fantastic “bases” to build and test combos on.
P.S. Remember, if you’re not 110% satisfied with your purchase, you have a FULL 365 days to get your money back – no hassles and no hoops to jump through. I definitely recommend True Pheromones because they have simple formulas that are easy to tweak, and easy to get results from… and work fantastically on younger women in my age range (18-20’s). Make sure to atleast check out True Love if you can’t afford the whole set – it’s definitely a worthy addition to your arsenal!
ProDentim is a newly launched dental care supplement that has garnered attention from dentists. In this review, we’ll assess its claims and whether it’s worth your money.
While the initial hype may make ProDentim seem legitimate, authenticity should be determined through a thorough analysis, not just hype.
This review will cover the ingredients, benefits, how it works, scientific support, pros and cons, availability, pricing, and more. Let’s dive into the review.
What Is ProDentim?
ProDentim is a dental supplement with 3.5 billion probiotic strains and clinically supported nutrients to restore oral microbiome balance. It’s made in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility with natural, GMO-free ingredients, initially appearing safe.
However, relying solely on claims is unwise. Investigate how ProDentim achieves its promised results to ensure its effectiveness and safety.
ProDentim is designed to cultivate a healthy population of good bacteria in the mouth, supporting gum and teeth health. This natural formula contains 3.5 billion clinically proven probiotics, including Lactobacillus Paracasi, B.lactis BL-04, and Lactobacillus Reuteri.
While the concept makes sense, it’s essential to understand the research behind the product before relying on it.
Scientific Studies Backing ProDentim
A recent scientific discovery, put out in the Springer Nature publication, is said to be the basis of ProDentim by its manufacturers. The research reveals why taking adamant care of one’s teeth alone may not help individuals maintain their oral health.
The study discovered that individuals with healthy gums and teeth always have a high population of good-quality bacteria in their mouths. That means brushing twice a day and following a proper oral hygiene routine may not maintain or promote oral hygiene if a high population of good bacteria isn’t present in an individual’s mouth.
ProDentim comes in easily consumable tablet form. To fully benefit from ProDentim, simply chew one tablet every morning. It’s a simple and convenient oral care supplement.
Health Benefits Of ProDentim
ProDentim claims to offer several benefits, including:
Healthy gums and teeth: It promotes a balanced oral microbiome, protecting gums and tooth enamel while relieving tooth sensitivity.
Respiratory tract support: Ingredients like B.lactis BL-04 can help prevent respiratory tract infections.
Open sinuses: Lactobacillus Paracasei in ProDentim supports gum health and keeps sinuses open.
Fresh breath: Probiotic bacteria combat bad breath and remove foul-smelling compounds.
These are some of ProDentim’s claimed benefits. Now, let’s examine its pros and cons.
Online customer reviews for ProDentim have been overwhelmingly positive, with no reported side effects. Users seem satisfied with the tooth sensitivity relief it provides.
Price Details And Availability Of ProDentim
To ensure authenticity, purchase ProDentim only from their official website. It’s offered in three bundles:
1 bottle (30-day supply) = $69
3 bottles (90-day supply) = $177 ($59 per bottle)
6 bottles (180-day supply) = $294 ($49 per bottle)
All bundles include free shipping, and a 60-day money-back guarantee is offered for returns if you’re not completely satisfied. Plus, there are bonus gifts available with your purchase.
The information available about ProDentim on the internet does look legitimate. Even after going through the customer reviews and reporting the pros and cons of the product, ProDentim doesn’t seem to have any major flaws.
Moreover, the staggering amount of positive reviews this product has received also adds to the credibility of it. Finally, the 60-day money-back guarantee available with the product lets one experience the results of ProDentim without any risk.
So, choosing to try ProDentim if you feel like you want help to take care of your oral health and hygiene doesn’t look like a terrible idea.
