How A Memory Foam Mattress Can Improve Your Night’s Sleep

Are you tossing and turning all night long and you certainly have no wish to get up and start the new day ? The reason could be that your body isn’t able to relax completely as it can’t find a suitable position to sleep in, one that is supportive in all the necessary places such as knees, thigh , waist and neck. One possible solution to this problem is to buy a king memory foam mattress – however this is an expensive option, so how about using a memory foam pillow, mattress topper, or a memory foam sofa mattress in the first instance?

Designed for NASA in the 1970’s, memory foam was to provide comfort for astronauts at ascend and landing, it never became available in the shops until the 1990’s. Since that time the market has grown and is still growing very rapidly , particularly as the sphere of medicine recommends its use for relieving back pains and pressure sores. Regardless of the fact that the first producer was Tempurpedic ® and used mostly for medical purposes , the firm eventually heard that people who lay on the foam, slept better, and they introduced manufacture to sell to general public . Since then other manufacturers have designed their own memory foam goods . The most powerful producers now appear to be China and the Far East, but be cautious of foam products made outside of the United States.

How does it help you to sleep? Memory foam is visco-elastic and that means that it responds to temperature change by getting softer when it is hot and harder when it is cool . That means that your body warmth softens the immediate area of foam and it adopts to your shape. I would like to warn you - with the less expensive , lower density foams, the foam can get as hard as a board when the when it is chilly or it might turn into far too soft on hot summer nights. The more expensive brands guarantee that they will perform correctly through any changes of temperatures.

If you’re still not certain why not buy a foam pillow or a memory foam pad for instance. Most companies offer a selection of goods and the most progressive ones offer a trial period and longer warranties too so that if the item doesn’t please you, you can return it back.

How do you select a memory foam mattress? There are differences in the way mattresses are made so it is vital to get to know from a seller how they are put together and which kind of construction would suit you best. Rule of thumb - mattresses can have 3 or 4 inches of memory foam over a denser supportive core. More thickness isn’t necessarily right either as you can sink in too far before reaching the core layer ! If you sleep on your front you should buy 2 inch (5cm approx.) foam, those who sleep on side and medium sized people should buy a foam memory mattress with three inch (7.5cm approx) foam and heavier people or back sleepers should purchase the four inch (10cm approx).

There are lots of advantages but what about the unpleasant moments ? Why memory foam failed to be used by NASA? Foam is a product made by people that emits gases when it’s new. In your home it lasts for a very short space of time, but could have been problem in a space ship ! However , if you are sensitive to this gas , you should think about finding a natural product like a foam latex mattress.
