Specifications of Memory Foam Mattresses
One of the most confusing things about visco elastic foam products is the construction of the different brands and models. Memory foam mattresses aren't created equal and come with different specifications such as density, Indentation Load Deflection, weight, foam resilience, depth and so-on. We cover all of these areas and more at MemoryFoamGuide.org.
The one thing that everyone expects from memory foam beds is the absolute best in support and a comfort system to match. Memory foam mattresses are generally heavier than other types of mattresses, and denser than other types of foam mattresses.
How Do Memory Foam Bedding Products Work?
The benefits of memory foam come from its open cell structure. This is what allows the mattress, topper, pillow or other memory foam product to react to body heat and shape to the natural contour of the body. The result should be a more supportive and comfortable sleep, reducing pressure points on the neck, back and joints, and preventing pressure sores. This is why they are highly popular among consumers, and hospitals too where they are excellent when used with an adjustable bed to create an ideal bed for recuperation.
The difference in feel of one memory foam mattress to another can be vary greatly, despite having the same basic chemical composition. The difference is a result of the density and layer thickness of memory foam. In general, higher density memory foam will have better compression ratings than lower density, prolonging the life of the memory foam and in turn the mattress.

The Hidden Cost of Cheap Memory Foam Mattresses
Whilst cheap mattresses look appealing from a price standpoint, they can very often cost you more in the long run. With the popularity of the memory foam mattress comes a lot of cheap knockoffs. What you may notice should you ever buy (or already own) a cheap memory foam mattress are a number of things:
Low density - Bigger but less open cells means that there is less support. When you try out a mattress that has less memory foam density it may well feel pretty comfortable, but what is happening is that the mattress is sinking too much and not providing the support that the best memory foam mattresses will.
Choosing Your Memory Foam Product

There are memory foam pillows, slippers and even memory foam dog beds for sale! The important thing to do before you buy is to do your research. Read mattress reviews, forum posts, comparison information and talk to friends about mattresses that they sleep on. Anything that can give you feedback can help you make the right choice.
