ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info.

2-100% COTTON Custom-made MATTRESS & Futon Mattresses in Costa Rica


MATRIMONIAL•FULL FRAME

Hand-Made - made of Chilean Pine with wrought-iron details and a hand-carved headboard and base. 
Frame Only - $305.  Frame and Mattress - $470+  (see below for just mattress)


Tired of the MEGA uncomfortable beds in Costa Rica?  Do you have a bad back and need some firmness?  Or allergies or your body just can not handle fake/synthetic materials?  Have you tried many beds and some were too hard, or too soft - and you just want one that is "just right" for YOUR body????  Or do you just want to honor your body and sleep with natural fibers?  Then a 100% COTTON MATTRESS might be the PERFECT thing for you!
WHY CHOOSE A COTTON MATTRESS?
DO YOU LIVE IN A HOT/HUMID CLIMATE OR ARE YOU GOING THROUGH METAPOSE AND GETTING HOT FLASHES?  
Cotton is known to breathe which helps eliminate moisture retention and allows the mattress to remain dry or to dry quickly thus avoiding mould or mildew.   (as a Memory Foam fan - note that they get you HOT [I couldn't even have sex in my old full memory foam bed!!!])
One of the TOP REASONS I've heard is the metal coil that is in many standards beds - the metal coils can AMP UP the energy/vibration if you have High Blood Pressure, Pain or Arthritis!!!  (which is logical if you think of it) 
I have a resource to connect you with for 100% COTTON, Hand-Stuffed, Semi-Orthopedic (which means FIRM) MATTRESSES!!  
Since they're hand-stuffed, that means the fabric and the size can be CUSTOMIZED for whatever YOU need!!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

FAQ:
MATTRESSES:  100% COTTON, Hand-Stuffed (hence can be CUSTOMIZED to fit whatever you need) and Semi-Orthopedic (which means FIRM).  They're also available in Over-stuffed!!!  They usually have some in standard ones in stock - ready for you to take with you!
MATTRESS COVER:  You can choose from a few styles and colors which take just a few days to get. Or choose from one they have in stock.

CUSTOMIZED:  Do you have a space that's not the standard?  Do you like it harder or softer?  You can get them made to YOUR specifications!!!  (but it will take a bit longer)

LIKE VARIETY??:  Get one side of the futon in one fabric and the other in another!!!!  It's customized - you can do it!!! (like the first 2 pictures at the bottom of this page)
FRAMES (sold separately):  Frames are made of Chilean Pine with wrought-iron details and a hand-carved headboard and base.
PRICES:  Prices vary by fabric you choose, customize sizes and amount of filling and are subject to change

PAYMENT:  Cash - colones or U.S. $s


SHIPPING:  LIVE FURTHER AWAY or DON'T HAVE A CAR THAT CAN HANDLE IT?:  They can ship them to you throughout Costa Rica (possibly via bus for cheaper delivery price, weekly trucks or private delivery).
RETURNS:  For health/sanitary reasons, ALL mattresses are NOT RETURNABLE so best for you to come up and try one out first.
Above and below are the SAME MATTRESS - just 2 different fabrics!!
You can change depending on your mood!!
