How To Select The Right Memory Foam Mattress...3 Insider Secrets
By Charles "Chuck" Harmon
Are you shopping for a
memory foam mattress? Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the jargon
that's out there?
There are really only three main things you must know, in order to get a
mattress that will serve you well for years to come…temperature sensitivity,
density and the thickness of the memory foam layer.
Selecting the correct memory foam mattress is an important decision, and by
adopting these tips, you will have no anxiety about selecting the correct one.
In fact, you'll know more about memory foam and how to select a good mattress
than most mattress store salespeople.
Select A Mattress With Temperature Sensitivity
Not every memory foam mattress that's available, on the market, will be
sensitive to temperature.
But, temperature sensitivity is one of the most crucial features that makes a
memory foam mattress so unique and so downright comfortable.
When shopping for a mattress, if you are able to buy one that adjusts to the
temperature, please do so. You will find that the mattress will absorb your body
heat and soften up.
The same is true when the environment is cooler, the mattress will become
firmer.
Select A Mattress With The Correct Density
One of the main things to consider, when choosing the correct memory foam
mattress, is the density of the memory foam. The density of the memory foam can
be described as the weight, of the mattress, measured in a cubic foot of memory
foam.
For example, if you were to cut a piece of memory foam into a 12 x12 x 12 shape
of a cube, or giant dice, and take its weight, the resulting weight would be its
density.
There are various theories, whirling around out there, about which is the
correct density of a memory foam mattress to select. Some mattress sellers will
try to sell you something in a 3 lb density range.
However, it is better to select a memory foam mattress between densities of
5.0-5.9 lb., because at densities lower than 5.0, the mattresses will not
support your lower back, shoulders and hips.
Beyond the density of 5.9, memory foam mattresses will be too dense to allow for
proper support. If you like a futon, that's what it might feel like at this
density.
Select A Mattress With Enough Top Layer
When going out to purchase a memory foam mattress, it is important to select one
that has enough memory foam on the top layer.
Usually it is best to get a mattress that has been manufactured with at least
3.5 inches of memory foam as its top layer.
The importance of selecting a mattress with the correct thickness of memory foam
on top, cannot be stressed enough.
If this layer is too thin, then the person ends up sleeping, partly, on the
underlying polyurethane foam, and runs the risk of an uncomfortable night's
sleep.
Select A Mattress Under Warranty
Another great idea when selecting a memory foam mattress is to buy one with a
warranty. Buying a product under a warranty is not only a great idea for a
mattress but for anything in general.
These mattresses can be purchased with a 20-25 year limited warranty, giving you
the ability to have any defects repaired or have the item replaced. Having a
warranty on your memory foam mattresses can make you feel much better about
purchasing one.
Overall, this might seem like a lot of information to digest, but keeping these
tips in mind, when selecting your memory foam mattress, can help make it easier
for you to decide on the right one for your needs.
Getting a great night's sleep is too important to sleep on anything else but a
memory foam mattress!
