How to Buy Smart Memory Foam Mattress Topper


Being a smart memory foam topper buyer is not as difficult as it may sound.

Memory foam topper have made up of visco-elastic material. This means that the mattress was designed in such a way that provides you comfort and support.

The basic things to consider are: 

1. what is your mattress height and weight.

If you purchase a memory foam mattress topper that's too light in density, you won't get the support you are looking for to help with low back pain.

If the memory foam is too thin, you will bottom out right back onto your old mattress and those defeats the whole purpose of why you invested in a topper.

2. Visco elastic memory foam, as originally developed for NASA, is temperature sensitive and that's very important. The higher temperature at that part of your body will cause the foam to soften so that you don't have so much pressure on the injured area.

Visco foam is denser than other types of foam and it comes in different densities. The more dense material giving a more firm feel to the mattress. You should test a few different mattresses to make sure you are getting the level of firmness that is right for you.
