Do you know what a Furry is?  Well, if you have seen movies like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Zootopia, The Lion King, shows such as My Little Pony, or anime such as Pokemon then you might have an idea. FurryPinas 2018, happening on May 19-20 at the SMX Convention Center, is a celebration of everything furry. The convention’s vision is to serve as the annual hub for furry or anthropomorphic media.

FurryPinas 2018 will be the first ever furry convention open to the public, after its first event in 2014. Holding the record as being the first furry convention in Southeast Asia, FurryPinas is the official and only furry convention in the Philippines.


What is the Furry Hobby?

Furry is not only a fandom, but also a hobby.  If you enjoy looking at personified animals in different forms of media be it movies, TV shows, anime, comics, etc., then you are part of the Furry hobby. Some examples of animal characters would include famous characters like Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and many more.

Most of the communities involved in the Furry Hobby had been established long ago.  Take for example Sylvanian Families, one of the most popular toys in the market which has existed since 1985. Made by the Japanese gaming company Epoch in 1985, Sylvanian Families is a collection of anthropomorphic animal figurines and model sets. Distributed around the world, they have become so popular that there is a growing community here in the Philippines, one that remains strong to this day.

Other communities such as a fanbase for Pokemon have been very lively since the countless adorable critters have been popping out not only in our gaming consoles, but also in our phones, in the form of Pokemon Go. It is not uncommon to see someone throwing virtual Pokeballs at a virtual Pokemon while walking.


Why would you attend FurryPinas 2018?

It is one of the most unique conventions happening this 2018. If you will be attending, then you are among the first to experience this one of a kind event.  Despite being such a unique event, the tickets are also affordable with the basic entry level ticket costing at Php 115 inclusive of a lanyard and a con ID badge (early bird).

Interesting and Lesser Known Facts About Mattresses - What You Must Know!


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Different sorts of mattresses can be found at the marketplace. Different manufacturers design different types of products. Choosing the right mattress from the most reputed manufacturer is a matter of concern for many buyers. So, how to purchase mattresses? How would you know about different mattresses?

To become the best shopper of beds, you need to know a few crucial facts about mattresses. Those points have been discussed in the following section of this article. Understanding them will help you to find the best mattresses in the marketplace without any issues.


1. Most Popular Type Is the Least Liked

According to a market survey, people opt for innerspring mattresses. The prime reason behind that is this type of mattress is affordable or cheap. Other mattresses like memory foam or latest mattresses can be highly expensive, though they offer more comfort as well as durability. Innerspring mattress becomes worn out after five years of use. When it becomes old, it remains no more comfortable for users. The springs inside may cause noises. They may get uneven and as a result mattress surface turns uneven. So, buyers need to be careful when purchasing this type of mattress in the marketplace.


2. Be Careful of Dust Mites

Mattresses that are not preserved well at the shops can be extremely harmful to your body as they come with thousands of creepy dust mites. After purchasing a mattress from the store, you need to clean it thoroughly. First, you should use a vacuum cleaner to extract all the dust from mattress fabric. Up next, you need to keep it in the sun for 4-5 hours at least for one or two days. It will help killing dust mites that may be there inside the fabrics of your mattress. Not just newly purchased mattresses, same treatment has to be given to mattresses once in every year. It will help retain good hygiene and would help to prevent skin disease or allergic reactions due to the mattress.


3. Flame Proof Mattress

When you read Purple Mattress Reviews, you shall find mention of flameproof material. Previously, beds used to be designed or developed with materials that are easily flammable. However, this is not a typical practice these days, especially if you are buying branded mattresses. In fact, it is illegal to sell mattresses having flammable materials in many countries. For health and safety reasons, you should check mattress well for the sign of flame free materials. If the manufacturer does not come with such feature for their beds, it is better to purchase a mattress from another manufacturer.

4. Risk of Humidity
If you live in areas where humidity is high, the mattress may get unhygienic for you earlier than other places. The humid condition makes mattress moist. As a result, it becomes an ideal place for mites and bacteria to grow. Saving mattress from humidity is essential. You should occasionally keep mattress under sunlight so that insects and bacteria can get killed by the heat of the sun.
