Practical and Simple Guidelines You Should Follow When Selecting Trendy Memory Foam


December 22, 2009

It can be a little overwhelming to go shopping for a memory foam bed and mattress. There are so many new terms and options available that it can be hard to figure things out. The three things you will want to be familiar with when shopping are foam density, thickness, and temperature sensitivity.

Knowing a little about each of these can allow you to choose the perfect memory foam product. Not every memory foam mattress includes temperature sensitivity. This is too bad because it is very important to a good memory foam product. It is really what makes memory foam so incredibly comfortable. If at all possible purchase a memory foam mattress that is temperature sensitive you will be very glad you did.

These types of mattress will absorb your body heat and provide soft support. Look for memory foam mattress toppers with a thick enough layer of memory foam along the top. Look for one with at least three and a half inches of memory foam on the top. A thin layer of memory foam will not provide the same amount of comfort.

When looking at memory foam mattresses you will also need to think about density. When they talk about density of a memory foam mattress they are speaking of the weight when measured in cubic feet. Many people have differing ideas as to the correct density for memory foam. Many retailers will try to sell you on memory foam with a 3 pound density range.

You will get much better support for your back, hips and shoulders with a mattress with a density of between five pounds and 5.9 pounds. Products that are denser that this often will not give you the desired support. Whatever memory foam product you select be sure that it comes with a warranty. You can expect a high quality memory foam mattress to have a warranty of around 20 to 25 years.
