Handy Advice You Should Follow When Selecting Practical Yet Stylish Memory Foam
General July 7th, 2009
It can be a little overwhelming to go shopping for a memory foam bed and mattress. There is such a wide array of terminology and choices that it can be a real challenge. To help make the choice easier it is important to remember three key things: thickness, density, and temperature sensitivity.
Having some knowledge about each of these can help you choose the right memory foam product for your needs. Temperature sensitivity is not a feature on all memory foam mattresses. That is unfortunate as it is one of the most important features of memory foam. The memory foam will not be as comfortable without it. If you can afford to buy a memory foam mattress that adjusts to the temperature you will be glad you made the investment.
This allows the mattress to absorb your body heat and become softer in key areas. Look for memory foam mattress toppers with a thick layer of memory foam on the top of the mattress. It is best to have one with at least three and a half inches of memory foam. A thin layer of memory foam will not provide the same amount of comfort.
You will also need to look at density when buying a memory foam mattress. When they talk about density of a memory foam mattress they are speaking of the weight per cubic foot. 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 find that you will have more support for your shoulders, back, and hips 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. Only buy a memory foam product which includes a warranty. You can expect a high quality memory foam mattress to have a warranty of around 20 to 25 years.
