Memory Foam Mattress Reviews

A memory foam mattress shopper is now swamped with choices in the retail market. You have a wide selection of prices, brands and add-ons to decide among. This article will discuss some memory foam mattress reviews.

Tempur-Pedic Mattresses

This company was at the forefront of the visco-elastic mattress revolution. Their best offering is a three inch layer of memory foam mounted on a 5 inch high density polyurethane base. This mattress is pretty supportive for the spine and back. You might find it a tad firm on winter nights as the memory foam is not so soft at low temperatures. Restless sleepers might find the memory foam disconcerting at first because the body moves over areas where the mattress has not moulded to the sleeper's curves. The mattress definitely has an edge over conventional spring mattresses.

The Deluxe bed offering has an additional inch on both layers. This makes the user sink into the mattress even more. The problem of mattress stiffness at low temperatures still persists. For its latest Celebrity Bed, Tempur-Pedic used 2 extra inches of memory foam as a pillow-top. This helps offer more surface softness to counter the stiffness seen in other models. Cost is a bit of a dampener in this case and you will find a significant difference between other memory foam mattresses and the Celebrity Bed.

In this brand the most popular offering is the Tri-pedic memory foam mattress. It has four inches of memory foam mounted between two different layers of foam. The arrangement of 10ILD foam over the traditional 20ILD foam layer ensures that you will not be faced with a hard bed on cold nights. The mattress incorporates a denser variety of foam below the soft memory foam layer for support. The lowest layer is composed of high density polyurethane that gives the mattress stability. Experts concur that this mattress offers better quality spine support as opposed to traditional memory foam mattresses.

The Soft-pedic mattress has a foam layer composition similar to the Tri-pedic one. It differs in the addition of zoned latex foam underneath to enhance its softness. The arrangement prevents a hammock effect on the body by providing support to the hips and lower back. This is one of the best side-sleeper mattresses available and has an excellent blend of softness and support. The brand also offers beds like Fibro-pedic for patients of arthritis and fibromyalgia. This product has a soft surface to reduce the pressure on bony protruberances and joints but uses the zoned latex foam layering to provide the back and hips adequate orthopedic support.
