Why Memory Foam Mattress is Better Than An Inner Spring Coil Mattress?

Basically, when you lie down on a coil memory foam mattress there is a tension between the coils and the sleeper. The sleeper's weight is pushing down of the coil and the coil is pushing back against the sleeper. Despite some advances in design, with coil springs the sleeper conforms to the shape of the mattress.

With viscoelastic foam, the mattress yields to both heat and weight; the cells don't resist. The mattress conforms to the shape of the sleeper. If you've ever slept on or laid down on this type of memory foam mattress you'll have notice the exact impression of your body left behind for a second or two when you get off it.

This ability to conform to exact body shape ensures an even distribution of weight, which means there are no pressure points. Pressure points are what lead many to wake up each morning with aches and pains.

The benefit of memory foam mattress is there is no motion disturbance or roll-together. Even the best traditional inner spring mattresses can't eliminate the wave motion felt by one partner as the other tosses or turns. There are no springs in a memory foam mattress and there's zero motion disturbance.

If you haven't yet tried out this new type of bed mattress, get down to your local store and lie down on one. You'll be amazed and pleased at how it conforms to your shape and how comfortable it feels.

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.
