Finding the Right Type of Memory Foam Mattress For You
Considering buying a memory foam mattress, but new to the memory foam product world? Don’t worry, in this article we will go through the more important things to consider when considering which memory foam mattress is right for you. When considering all of the options, it can be rather staggering from all the different choices. “How do they make so many different types of memory foam mattresses?” you may ask. Just like regular innerspring mattresses, memory foam mattresses do vary in firmness as well as other factors as well.
First thing a person would want to consider when looking for a good memory foam mattress is density. The reason for this is because many memory foam mattress consumers have had a few issues after purchasing memory foam mattresses of densities below 4 lbs. Four pound density memory four mattresses are our recommendation in order to avoid any avoidable sagging in the mattress. However, one exception would be memory foam toppers which can be placed on top of a regular mattress to give it a ‘feel’ of a real memory foam mattress, but these are not as thick as regular mattresses and could potentially wear out sooner than a regular mattress. more and more higher density memory foam mattresses are becoming available nowadays.
Second thing to look for would be a good ILD rating. The ILD rating on a memory foam mattress is the rating of the actual firmness of the mattress determined through a series of tests of the visco elastic material used in the manufacturing of the memory foam mattress. If you would like to compare ILD ratings to that of a Tempurpedic mattress, then an ILD rating of around 13 to 15 should be about right. Firmness is a very big issue for many individuals who experience back pain, fibromyalgia as well as other chronic pain related conditions and diseases. So make sure you get the right memory foam mattress with the firmness and density that best fits your needs. Also, be sure to take advantage of any free trial offers that many memory foam mattress manufacturers now offer!
The next things to consider after density and firmness would be resilience and tensility, if you would really like to go into detail. There are indeed more tests that are done on the memory foam materials in mattresses around the world including stretching the material as far as it can go. This test is the tensility test and this really does not apply to normal household usage of memory foam as the pressure of the body on top of it is about as far as the stretching will go in regards to the memory foam mattress.
When considering resilience, you may want to consider whether or not you would like a highly resilient, or HR, memory foam mattress which is more like an innerspring mattress as the whole benefit of memory foam is the fact that it is made of temperature sensitive material which conforms to the contours of your body. This ‘cradling’ relieves pressure in more injured and/or fevered areas of the body. The benefits of memory foam mattresses are enormous when considering how memory foam affects the body by relieving pressure points while providing spinal alignment, a better night’s sleep and more. So make sure you select your new memory foam mattress carefully as high quality memory foam mattresses can last for many years to come.

Memory Foam and its use in mattresses has been the latest bedding industry craze for nearly 2 decades. The sustainable structure of memory foam makes it a sound investment for any mattress buyer as its longitivity outlasts that of normal pocket sprung mattresses. Memory foam mattresses, also provide a total and individual support to your body shape and adapts to your natural sleeping position.
A brief history on Memory foam
Memory foam was a substance first created and used by NASA in the early 1970’s. The substance was used to sustain the impact of take off on the astronauts. Tempur -Pedic, now an internationally renowned company, were the first to issue memory foam as a bedding product to hospitals and other medical groups. This hit the consumer market in the early 1990’s first as memory foam mattress toppers and then as memory foam mattresses.
Buying a Memory Foam Mattress
Memory foam mattresses have been reduced over the years as more manufacturers are developing the product and trying to maintain a competitive margin.
Memory foam mattresses should contain at least 2-3 inches of memory foam (or commonly known as visco elastic) to provide a more supportive and plusher mattress feel. with this density, you would obtain a more supportive nights sleep from your memory foam mattress
The densities of memory foam within a memory foam mattress is more of a preference thing. Any memory foam mattress that comes complete with under 4lb of memory foam density will provide you with a softer feeling mattress. 5lb and over will provide a firmer feel.
Be careful of manufacturers you buy from. Highgate, Sealy, rest assured, kaymed and millbrook all produce high quality memory foam mattresses and are well know household names. Another good seller which is relatively new to the market is Sleep shaper memory foam mattresses which are providing more affordable memory mattress solutions. This brand is one of the more popular sellers in our stores.
Memory foam is often called visco elastic also. Many memory foam mattress manufactueres refer to the material as visco elastic. This is a variable but sustaiable memory foam product which again includes a great degree of support and density in you memory foam mattress.
If you are buying you memory foam mattresses in store then try find out as much as possible about the memory foam mattress you are wanting to buy. A good memory foam mattress can last up to 10 years so is a orth while investment
Shop around and find out all you can about your memory foam mattress before you buy!

Alternatively, try the sleep council’s websites to view stockists. Make sure your stockists is a reputable retailer and if you are buying online, please ensure you know a little about the company. Many online bed retailers are working out of a tiny office and have no stock. Go for the one with warehouses and actual store fronts as manufactueres tend to prefer these as retailers.
