If you are in the market for a memory foam bed or a memory foam mattress then it’s quite likely that you would like to know what the best quality beds or mattresses comprise. Although there are a number of factors that need to be taken into account, it is actually surprisingly difficult to provide really good advice, because often the choices are very personal in nature.
Perhaps the best way of dealing with these choices is to provide some basic information about memory foam, what are generally accepted as being aspects of the good quality memory foam mattress and how to interpret the information you will find in the store.
Durability
Perhaps the best way of establishing how durable a particular memory foam mattress is is to look at the density, provided to you in the form of a number of lbs per foot. Having said that very high density mattresses are generally considered to be slow to respond, and therefore not necessarily the most preferable choice. The most widely recommended densities probably sit between 4lbs and 6lbs, and a typical mattress with these sorts of densities will almost certainly last for between 15 and 20 years.
The Memory Foam Smell
Or memory foam has an odour, which many people find unpleasant, when their first purchased. This odour is as a result of the chemicals used in the manufacturing process. If you purchase a poor quality memory foam mattress then there is a good chance that the odour will linger for a far more significant period of time than if you were to purchase a better quality cousin.
Absorption
One of the most widely identified problems with memory foam is the problem of heat retention. The best memory foam mattresses are designed to improve airflow and eliminate as far as possible heat retention. It will also come with a good quality cover which is designed to improve fluid absorption and be a barrier to dust mites and other issues common to mattresses.
