Memory foam mattress compared to traditional mattresses

Recently, memory foam mattresses have risen in popularity ensuring a better nights sleep for everyone from babies to the elderly. This new technology stands to replace years of standard spring mattress design and production. Spring mattresses remain popular though due to their significantly lower cost and are purchased in mass quantities for hotels, nursing homes, and student accommodation.

Maybe you’ve stayed with a friend for a night, and woken up in the morning and remarked on how comfortable their bed is. It’s likely that they have invested in a quality memory foam mattress. Say what you will about marketing and advertising, but there is no denying the difference when you wake up in the morning. Due to their cost being significantly higher than the standard spring mattress, most people are reluctant to invest in one, and sceptical about the claims.

What most people do not realise when they buy a new mattress advertising quality materials from a reputable bed retailer, is that their mattress will definitely lose sixteen percent of it’s support within the first year of sleeping on it.

Your mattress may come with a 10 year warranty, but if you read the small print, this warranty allows for an inch and a half of normal body impression, which occurs after the first 3-6 months of usage.

The main feature of a good quality memory foam mattress is that is has the ability to truly support your body’s weight evenly. A Spring Mattress cannot do this as each spring inside pushes back on your body weight with equal force, memory foam technology feels like a million individual springs supporting your body evenly. The quality of the memory foam is important in reducing the pressure points that normal mattresses cause.

Did you know that a coil system for a mattress can cost as little as around 7? A memory foam mattress is expensive, but this is due to the cost of the quality materials used to create it, and not the labour. A memory foam mattress is not depending on the number of coils or thickness of springs for firmness, but can be firm or supple, depending on your own body’s needs.
