Memory Foam or Not?
Why can a memory foam mattress is a better choice than a regular foam mattress?
Key points:
- Memory foam has unique pressure relieving qualities.
- Conventional spring and regular foam mattresses do not have the warmth sensitive properties of memory foam.
Since the introduction of foam mattresses, consumers have steadily realized the benefits of switching from a regular mattress. Many have opted for a memory foam mattress over any other, to guarantee a better night's rest and less sore and stiff joints in the morning.
The main difference is the open cell structure of memory foam which promotes the even distribution of weight across the surface area ensuring no unnecessary pressure is caused on the body. Memory foam also responds to the warmth of your body, allowing it to gently shape to your body, whilst retaining the correct support. Unlike other regular closed cell foams, memory foam with its increased density, reduces the resistance that in other foams and regular mattresses can cause pressure points resulting in restless sleep as you toss and turn trying to get comfortable.
Memory foam, although normally more expensive than regular foam due to its high tech, labor intensive production methods, is the clear choice for the balanced support and comfort your body needs.
So when you are looking for a new memory foam mattress, make sure it is in fact "open cell memory foam" and not the regular "closed cell foam".
