It was when our six year old Salem mattress gave way when we decided to switch to SleepComfort Memory Foam by Uratex. I don’t know if it was because we so got used to the old mattress where the springs are almost sticking out (or atleast it came to a point that we felt them poking on our poor backs) that switching to this memory foam gave us the most comfortable sleep. This particular memory foam is constructed using a visco elastic foam on top of a polyurethane base which enables the foam to mold or cradle the body in such a way that it dramatically eases pressure and feels superbly comfortable.
All those back aches I used to have for the longest time are now a thing of the past. Its ten year warranty and the real comfort it has given us since makes the price immaterial. It is not very pricey as compared to other high end brands but it’s not the cheapest either. We got our queen size memory foam bed for close to $300 seven months ago.

The California Clubhouse Sandwich. Priced at PhP 165 (approx. $3.59) at Magnolia House in Q.C. A tripled decker sandwich (wheat bread) layered with mango crab filling, ham, egg omelet and veggies. According to the huge menu, it’s a best seller. But then again, if this is a best seller, then I wouldn’t dare taste non-best sellers from the menu.
Needless to say, it was not the best lunch I ever had. I should have tried one of their ice creams, the place being an ice cream house. Then I should have left the place happier.

First off, let me overwhelm you with statistics. Disposable Diapers:
Pampers comfort: Php 7 x 12 (if you change every two hours) x 365 (days in a year) = Php 30,660/year (approx.$653)
Pampers Baby Dry Php 8.25 =
(same computation)Php 36,135/year
Prokids Php 6 = Php 26,280/year
EQ Dry Php 6 = Php 26,280/year
Huggies Php 9 = Php 39,420/year
Kimbies Dry Php 6 = Php 26,280/year
Drypers Dry Php 7 = Php 30,660/year
Do the math. That is just the economic advantage of using leakproof cloth diapers. There are a whole lot more like zero risk of getting nappy rash that is caused by the chemical in disposables that make them super absorbent. The same chemical that makes it almost impossible for disposables to rot. It actually takes 50 plus years for a single disposable diaper to rot.
Just what future are we to give our children and the generations after them when we don’t care enough the environment to shift to using leakproof cloth diaper instead of disposables. There is the unquestionable convenience of the disposables, true. In fact, in the full two years that my little guy wore nappies, I still had him used disposables when we went out. But other than that, he was on leakproof cloth diapers.
If I remember it right the largest size was no more than $6 a piece. We had a total of 16 diapers that we used all throughout the time that he used nappies. That’s not a bad investment right? In fact, all those are now lent to a dear friend for her little girl. The picture on the right is my little guy in his TushyWushy Leakproof cloth diaper when he was around six months old.
