Sealy Posturepedic “Plus Top” Mattress


We love the Sealy Posturepedic “Plush Top” mattress. Many Sheraton Hotels have them as part of their Sheraton Sweet Sleeper(sm) Bed package, which should be marketed as a powerful sleep aid. Simply put, these mattresses are incredibly comfortable. Don’t worry about springs or cross bars nailing you in the back.

Dial Complete® Foaming Soap


Many hospital restrooms are equipped with foaming soap, as opposed to liquid soap, dispensers for a reason. Foaming soap is supposed to be more effective at killing germs. Now, the product has moved into people’s homes. We like the feeling of the foam and it rinses off easily. Dispensing the airy foam is fun. Lots of companies make the soap and dispensers. We’ve been satisfied with Dial’s version and use it liberally after handling raw chicken.

Benjamin Moore Color Samples


These 2 oz. bottles of paint give people the freedom to try one or more colors on their wall before committing to it. There’s enough in the cute bottles to put two coats on a 2 ft. x 2 ft. area. The product is going to save people a lot of aggravation due to colors not looking quite right when dry. We expect many paint manufacturers to copy the idea.
