Should You Choose a Memory Foam Mattress?

Memory foam mattresses have been a hot-button topic since they were introduced, with their “space-age technology” and memorable television commercials. Sure, this product has received plenty of hype, but does it live up to it? In short, the answer is yes; memory foam is the rare product that actually meets its lofty expectations.

When in contact with the body of the user, this temperature-sensitive material forms to the person on it, softening around curves and contours. This provides incredible pressure reduction that boosts circulation and gives you a custom sleeping surface each and every night, whether it’s in a canopy bed or on a friend’s floor for the weekend with a folding mattress. Some beds can result in pressure points that lead to tossing and discomfort, limbs falling asleep and even numbness. With a memory foam mattress supporting concave areas like your lower back while yielding to convex body parts like the shoulders and hips, this becomes a non-issue and you get an invigorating sleep.

People have described memory foam beds as like sleeping on a cloud as the visco-elastic polyurethane warms to the body and gently cushions aches and discomfort with cozy support. Memory foam is a versatile material as well, available in multiple densities and used in numerous products, from mattresses and toppers to a body bolster or bed pillow.

If you experience difficulty falling asleep, are looking to purchase a new mattress or want to see if you can get even better sleep than you already do, give memory foam a shot.
