Tailgate for 2002 Holden Rodeo Ute

Rod from Auckland Central

I'm tidying up my ute ... the tailgate has been re-profiled (driven into) by a person or persons unknown and i'm hoping to locate a replacement to save time. A bit of a long-shot I know but I'm hoping the the spare-parts angels will smile on me .
Cheers,

Why Leonie loves lawn bowls

Edmund Hillary Retirement Village

For the uninitiated, lawn bowls may just look like a bunch of people throwing balls up and down a flat piece of grass.

For the uninitiated, lawn bowls may just look like a bunch of people throwing balls up and down a flat piece of grass.

But for Evelyn Page Retirement Village resident Leonie, it is a game of skill that has brought her 40 years of friendship, camaraderie and many fun-filled experiences and memories.

So much so, that she has dedicated most of the last 20-plus years to umpiring the game. It is her way of giving back, she says, and now she is lending those skills to the upcoming trans-Tasman inter-village Ryman Roll Up.

Neighbourly is aware that online safety is front of mind for members, and scams are getting more tricky to spot. So we thought we'd share some tips from Netsafe to keep you informed about what to avoid and where to get help.

Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.

What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.

You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz

If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz

Remember Neighbourly is a free service for neighbours so we won't ask you for money or for your password. All emails will come from noreply@neighbourly.co.nz - so feel free to get in touch if you're unsure of something!

Hope this helps you, neighbours!

In modern sleep solutions, adjustable beds have gained significant attention.

They are known for their promise of enhanced comfort and customizable sleeping positions.

These innovative sleep systems have captured the interest of people who value their personalized comfort and want to improve their sleep.

Let’s explore the world of adjustable beds and look at the expectations and reality to decide whether these beds live up to the hype.

What is an Adjustable Bed?

An adjustable bed is often referred to as an adjustable bed base.

It’s a sleep system that allows users to elevate various mattress parts to create customized sleeping positions. These beds are equipped with motorized mechanisms that let users adjust the angle of their head, feet, and body alignment.

The primary purpose of adjustable beds is to provide comfort and reduce common sleep-related issues like snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.

Adjustable Beds: Do They Help?

Adjustable beds offer a promising solution for improved sleep quality and enhanced comfort.

Let’s look at the expectations vs. reality regarding whether adjustable beds help improve sleep quality.

Expectations: Improved Sleep Quality and Health

Adjustable beds are touted as a solution to various sleep-related problems.

These beds are often marketed to reduce discomfort by allowing users to find their optimal sleeping position. Be it elevated for breathing ease or with legs raised for improved circulation.

With the ability to customise sleeping positions by elevating different parts of the mattress, these beds can alleviate common sleep-related issues such as snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.

Whether adjustable beds truly help can be answered with a resounding yes.

Reality: Evidence-Based Benefits

The reality aligns with the expectations.

Adjusting the bed to provide better support for specific body areas can reduce chronic pain and improve comfort during sleep.


How to Choose an Adjustable Bed?

With various available options, choosing the right adjustable bed requires careful consideration.

Here are some factors to keep in mind:

Motor Quality and Noise. Opt for beds with high-quality motors that operate. Noisy mechanisms can disrupt your sleep and lead to frustration.

Mattress Compatibility. Ensure the adjustable bed is compatible with your existing mattress, or choose one that pairs well.

Number of Adjustable Zones. Look for beds that allow you to adjust different areas for personalised comfort.

More Features. Some adjustable beds include massage settings, USB ports, and under-bed lighting. Decide if these features are important to you.

Warranty and Customer Reviews. Research the manufacturer's warranty and read customer reviews to get insights into real-world experiences.

Adjustable Bed vs. Regular Beds: A Comparison

The differences go beyond aesthetics when comparing adjustable beds to regular beds.

Adjustable beds offer versatility and customisation that traditional beds often cannot match. The ability to adjust the angle of the head and feet can cater to specific sleep preferences and address various health concerns like snoring, acid reflux, and back pain.

Regular beds provide a fixed sleeping surface without the adaptability that adjustable beds offer.

While adjustable beds offer personalised comfort and targeted support, traditional beds still have their place, especially for individuals with simpler sleep needs.


Expectations: Enhanced Comfort and Flexibility

The primary expectation when comparing adjustable beds to regular beds is that the former offers enhanced comfort and flexibility.


The ability to customise your sleeping position is believed to be a game-changer, particularly for those with specific health concerns or preferences.


Reality: Personalized Comfort and Support

The reality is that adjustable beds do indeed provide a level of comfort and support that traditional beds often can't match.


The adjustability factor can cater to different sleeping positions and reduce discomfort, improving sleep quality and well-being.


Reduce Tension and Sleep Better

In the world of sleep solutions, adjustable beds have proven to be more than a marketing gimmick.


When searching for top-notch adjustable beds in New Zealand, Beds4U is your ultimate choice.


With their thoughtfully curated collection of adjustable beds, experience unmatched comfort and support for a revitalising night's sleep.


Discover Beds4U's range for a refreshing and pain-free start to your mornings.
