Best Memory Foam Mattresses: Models and Features

How to choose a mattress, rigidity and thickness

Any good mattress should be firm enough while respecting the natural curve of the spine. What matter in particular, to dispel a myth, is that a rigid mattress is always the best choice for the back. The hardness, in fact, must reflect personal taste and, as already mentioned, the weight of who uses it. Back sleepers need a more rigid product, unlike those who sleep on their side. In this second case it is possible to opt for a less rigid solution that allows the user to slightly sink the shoulder and hip, allowing for an optimal position. Once again, body weight makes a difference. The heaviest people need firmer mattresses, unlike those with lightweight structures. For them it is advisable to use a more flexible mattress, to allow the body to better adhere to the surface of the mattress.

How to choose the mattress: available materials

Polyurethane foam can be used to produce the internal structure (also called “solid”) of a mattress, or it can be the used to form the base support for mattresses with one or more layers of Memory Foam. The main feature of polyurethane foam is its ability to withstand various types of pressure without undergoing major deformations. The elasticity and the resistance that sets it apart allows it to return to its original form despite any great stress it might undergo.

Memory Foam mattresses

Memory foam mattresses are ideal for people who feel cold or live in cold places, as they hold more body heat. It is a very flexible product, capable of correctly distributing body pressure over the entire surface during sleeping hours. Modeled by the body, memory foam not only makes nocturnal movements less frequent, but also responds well to the needs of light people who, as previously mentioned, need a softer mattress. Add the fact that memory foam mattresses are generally lighter and easier to carry, features which must be taken into consideration especially when you talk about double beds.

Pressure Point Release

Basically, when a person stays for a long time in one position, the downward pressure of the weight and the upward resistance of the support can affect circulation and damage the tissues. The benefits of memory foam were used to prevent pressure ulcers and minimize pain to sensitive areas.

Spine Support

A memory foam mattress supports each part of the body evenly and individually, distributing the weight on the whole surface. The mattress adapts to the curves of the body, supporting the lower back and allowing the spine to stay in a neutral position. With other materials, such as springs, the weight is generally concentrated in the contact area of the mattress. Typically, shoulders, hips and knees support the weight. This means that the lower back is often not adequately trained. The sore back and muscle tension can be caused by a mattress that, putting the upper body in an unnatural position compared to the neck or legs, creates more tension and pain.

Memory Foam Relieves And Prevents Pain

Most users of memory foam mattresses confirms a reduction in pain, especially in the back, hips and shoulders. It is also preferred by people with certain diseases such as arthritis and fibromyalgia. Maintaining proper alignment, shaping the body e not exerting additional pressure on sensitive areas, bodies of people who sleep on Memory Foam mattresses can enjoy a optimal comfort.

Memory Foam is a precious ally for the back

The curves of our memory foam mattresses provide great lumbar support and relax the back, also adapting to the hips while supporting the waist to evenly hold up the spine. And for those who sleep on their backs, memory foam helps to keep your back in good shape and relieves pressure on painful areas.

A Memory Foam mattress is very stable

In memory foam mattresses, movement while sleeping does not affect anything: moving can create a lot of waves in traditional mattresses, which can lead to a disturbed sleep in couples. This can be a problem, particularly for families with different hours or for those who have a light sleep. One of the main advantages of a memory foam mattress is that the material absorbs movement and isolates it. When a person gets out of bed or turns over, the partner doesn’t feel bounces or shakes while sleeping.

Memory foam reduces dust mites

Dust mites they are an inevitable problem in our life, virtually every home has them, and the bedroom is a place where they thrive. Most of them are harmless, but dust mites are a major cause of juvenile allergies. A typical mattress can have from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside! The soft fiber padding facilitate the penetration of the mites. The type of materials used and the dense structure of the memory foam helps prevent dust mites more effectively. Simply, there aren’t many places to live and thrive. The combination of a memory foam mattress with hypoallergenic mattress cover and regular vacuuming of the surface can help control and mitigate dust mites in your bedroom.

Memory Foam mattresses are hypoallergenic

Memory Foam is ideal for allergy sufferers. Just as memory foam repels mites of dust, it also limits other allergens such as mold and animal hair that can penetrate the mattress. The materials used are largely hypoallergenic (good for those allergic to wool, feathers or other fibers). Some types of memory foam also have a little to no saturation effect, which is good for people sensitive to odors and harsh chemicals.

Memory foam is perfect for adjustable beds and bed frames

The adjustable beds have become increasingly popular in recent years and memory foam mattresses remain one of the most compatible options. The memory foam flexes easily with the adjustable base and adapts to different base positions without compromising durability in time.

Memory foam mattresses are easy to maintain

Memory foam has a relatively low maintenance commitment in terms of time. These types of mattresses can benefit from a rotation a few times a year and a occasional aspiration, but this is it the only maintenance that the average user will have to do. Do not have to monthly tilt / rotate, there are no springs to break and no electronic compromise.

Excellent lifespan of a memory foam mattress

The other main advantage feature of memory mattresses is their excellent durability. At average, a memory foam mattress lasts about seven years, ours can safely exceed 15, because they are made with superior quality foams (higher core density and mass memory foam). Besides lasting longer, memory foam is less likely to lose performance compared to springs.
