Memory Foam Mattresses and Toppers
Memory foam mattresses used to be a lot more expensive until recent days where many manufacturers are making them now. On one hand its good that there’s a big selection, but on the other hand, there are more low quality memory foam mattresses on the market than ever.
The problem with low quality memory foam mattresses is because its made out of cheap materials. The memory foam is low density and is layered with other cheaper foam materials. It won’t last and this inexpensive material will give way and wear out fast.
So what should you be aware of? It really depends on what you’re going for. Generally you can get a whole memory foam mattress bed or you can get a memory foam mattress topper which is basically a layer of memory foam which goes on top of your existing bed. Suffice to say, the whole bed version is a lot more expensive and your concern should be comfort and durability.
The topper pad is less expensive and can easily be replaced when worn out. If you look for a memory foam mattress, you need to look for comfort and durability because you can’t replace it as easily as a topper pad. With a memory foam mattress topper, the comfort is most important because the durability can be replaced.
When you buy a memory foam mattress, you need to pay extra care to the density of the foam. Denser foam costs more but does not necessarily mean it is more comfortable. The sales person may tell you otherwise.
All that density means is how much the foam weighs. So a 3 pound desnity foam simply means that a cubic foot of foam would weigh 3 pounds. A cubic foot is measured by one foot in length, width and height.
A denser memory foam mattress will give you more of that memory foam feeling. A 2 lb. memory foam density won’t be quite enough to give you that quality memory foam feeling you get from the higher density ones.
When you’re looking to buy a memory foam bed, the minimum memory foam density you should even consider is 4 pounds for the memory foam mattress pads and for the bed versions, 3.2 to 3.4 pound densities.
