Memory Foam Mattress Reviews - The Basics

Memory foam mattresses and memory foam pillows have really grown in popularity over recent years, as more and more people become aware of the benefits of memory foam as an alternative to the pocket spring mattress to aid chronic back pain, reduce neck pains and discomfort, and aid restful sleeping. Many people don't really have the right information to make an informed decision on what to buy, with hype, marketing and amazing stories tending to blur the line between fact and fiction.

In this article, we will take an in-depth look at how memory foam works, what it can do for you, and then offer a number of memory foam mattress reviews to show you what is available. There are a lot of memory foam mattress reviews, and we will condense it into an easy to digest format, free of overly complicated tech-speak.

What is Memory Foam?

The origins of memory foam are deeply rooted in the space age, with NASA producing a product that could help astronauts overcome the massive pressures placed on their bodies during space flight, in particular, the take-off phase. They created a special visco-elastic foam that would adapt to the shape of the individual and return to normal when the pressure was relieved. This was a great development and is the reason that memory foam mattresses and pillows work so well. They provide for an even distribution of pressure on the body whilst you sleep, thus mitigating the effect of pressure points discomfort and neck pain as seen by so many sleepers.

Memory Foam Mattress Ratings

Memory foam is graded and rated by a number of methods, including the weight (density) of the foam, by indentation load deflections (ILD), by resilience to pressure, and also by tensile strength (the foams ability to be stretched before it ruptures). All these measures provide for a grading system of your foam mattress or memory foam pad.

That small portion of tech-speak probably does little to help you decide what to buy. You will need to look at a couple of memory foam mattress reviews an work out which products suit your needs and price range. The best mattresses will offer a good body contouring feel, and ensure that a lower amount of pressure is exerted on the body where you apply the 'most' pressure. Weight, although a factor, is not the whole story. Height, body shape, and sleep position will directly impact on where you apply most pressure whilst sleeping.

These mattresses should feel great, whether placed directly on the ground, or on top of your normal box base or bed frame. A sprung base is unnecessary to add further support, although it is fine to use one to give the bed height you need.

A good manufacturers warranty will provide you with piece of mind when buying. A good manufacturer will have no hesitation in providing a long warranty, as they should be very confident of the quality of their product.

Memory Foam Mattress Reviews Help You Make The Right Choice

There are a number of high quality memory foam mattress manufacturers in the market today. Here are some of the best and most well respected. Their products should be considered a safe investment, but do your research before buying.

Tempurpedic Memory Foam Mattress

The Tempur-pedic company are one of the original quality memory foam mattress producers. Their 'Original Bed' is still sold, and is a very good quality mattress. They also offer mattresses in a number of 'collections', including the original Tempur mattresses range, the Tempur-HD (high Density Foam) Collection, and the Cloud Collection, offering a more reactive memory foam. The original beds were sometimes considered a little hard by some users, and the company have adapted with some changes that make their mattresses into bestsellers. A limited 20 year warranty also provides piece of mind for buyers.

Restonic Memory Foam Mattress Reviews

The Restonics company have re-invigorated the memory foam mattress market with their technical development and creative products. To this end, they have become one of the market leaders in mattress technology. The Sensisleep memory foam mattress is from the Restonics Health Rest range of memory foam mattresses. It is 10 inches thick and constructed with 3 layers. There is a base layer of high density foam, then a 1" poly support layer, again, of high density foam. It provides the comfort layer between the dense base and the viscoelastic top layer.

The final layer is 3.25" thick and is constructed of 5 lb visco-elastic memory foam. This 5ib density is really the minimum standard you should be looking for when buying a comfort mattress, as it will provide you with really good support and be very comfortable.

Other Products

Other than the two market leaders discussed above, there are plenty of other leading brands mattress producers that provide good mattress, matress toppers, adjustable beds, and memory foam pillow products.
