Dri-Fast Foam

Dri-Fast foam is a very versatile foam that can be used for a variety of outdoor applications. Its open cell structure permits moisture and air to pass through more freely than other types of foam, which allows for quicker drying. In addition, its antimicrobial properties prevent mold, mildew, and bacteria growth. Dryfast foam is available in thicknesses ranging from 1” to 6” and can be cut to fit any type of outdoor chair, couch, bench, or chaise lounge.

Why You Should Have Down Pillow Inserts

A little insight into Down & Feather fillers

Pillow inserts with down and feather are typically covered with a natural cotton down-proof cover. The higher the percentages of fill power in the down pillow insert , the smoother the feel and the more expensive they can be. Square down pillow inserts are great to use for many different categories other than just for the bed. You can get down pillow inserts in a variety of sizes, shapes and fills.

They make great additions to sofa with a little creativity in pillow cases, and they do come in every shape or size. Down pillow insert squish to the touch, like all feather pillows do, so if you would like a firmer feel, buy a pillow larger than your cover. Expect the end result to be fat, and comfy making your pillow covers look great on them.

We are now 11 days post Hurricane Irma, and if this, like me, was your first hurricane then you will agree that it was quite an experience ! The preparations and tensions leading up to it, the hurricane hitting, and as most people will tell you, the aftermath that has to be dealt with, which is the worst part.
As I drive round the local area I can see the devastation caused in some parts, and other parts are relatively unscathed, and now as that aftermath clean up continues, we as a local business are offering a little help where we can, details of which can be found on our Facebook page, just click on the link at the top of the page.
I was not expecting to post my first blog in hurricane circumstances and I wish everybody well as they try and get back to normal

Blog posts are a great way to get recognized within your community and share your voice. Here are the top 10 reasons you should love writing blog posts.

Anyone can make one:
For better or worse, anyone can write a blog post about anything they want. Everyone has a voice and the best voices will rise to the top.

The writer can show their personality:
In blog posts, the writer has more leeway to add in their voice and personality than other types of writing.

Blogs are a great form of mass communication:
You can help people, learn new things, entertain your audience—the possibilities are endless and amazing. Blogging opens up all of these to a very wide audience.

You can make money:
Get the right blog going and you can make a lot of money through advertising and sponsored posts.

It allows people to craft better thoughts:
Instead of reading haphazard, uneducated Facebook statuses, it’s much better to see people’s thought process in a well-written blog post.

You can establish a community:
Blogging allows you to connect with other individuals who share the same interests. Sharing ideas and opinions within your community helps establish yourself as a thought leader.

Good for SEO:
Keeping content on your site fresh and relevant, you can use your blog to boost the search engine ranking (SEO) of your site and your business.

It brings people back to your site:
If your blog is strong enough and updated regularly, people will come back looking for more and bring traffic back to your site as well.

It’s free:
It costs you a grand total of zero dollars to post to the blog, so if you have something to say, there’s nothing to stop you.

You can establish yourself as a thought leader:
A blog is a great place for your original thoughts, and it can be a wonderful way to show off your individuality. If people like your ideas, you can become a thought leader in your industry!
