Looking to buy a comfortable memory foam mattress? I’m sure by now you would have read a lot about the benefits of memory foam mattress and the different kind of mattresses available. That’s exactly the reason why you are reading this article. Now you might be thinking which company manufactures the best memory foam mattresses and which one is currently the best available in the market. Let’s get the facts straight and look at the options we have.
Did you know that it was Tempur-Pedic who initially started off the memory foam mattresses? Yes, they are still considered to be the best in the industry. Does that mean you should only opt for Tempur mattresses? Definitely not. If you are looking for a brand name then you could go with Tempur. However, let me tell you that a good memory foam mattresses is the one which best suits your requirements. The brands bring in an assurance of good quality but cannot guarantee you the comfort that you are looking for.
Wondering what are the things that makes a memory foam mattress comfortable? While choosing a memory foam mattress, the most important thing that you have to keep in mind is the density. This is what separates the good from the bad. A good quality mattress usually has a density of over 5 lbs. Now what does that mean? It means that for every 1 cubic foot the foam weighs over 5lbs. There are companies which vouch for better quality mattress with 4lbs density. Go for it only in case you want to compromise on comfort. Stick to the density formula and you should find yourself a quality foam mattress. The ones less than 5lbs/cubic ft means more air and less of foam.
Coming to the brands, Tempur, the original memory foam mattress producers still remains the market leaders. Initially they started out with just one variety of memory foam mattress and today they have a range of memory mattresses with different foam thickness/models. Their initial version called the OriginalBed still remains the hot favorite. It has a density of 5.3 lbs with dust mite resistant terry cloth cover. Definitely recommended for all those looking for comfort. The newer version, GrandBed, is expensive but look wise is grand. It has a plush, blended silk cover and the cost is definitely the one which plays spoilsport here. It costs much higher than the OriginalBed but if you are particular about the looks and comfort at the same time, this one is for you.
Simmons ComfortPedic Mystere is another player in the luxury memory foam mattress market. The mattresses have a range of features such as velor cover on top which is attached to a beautiful suede side cover and is washable. The mattress has a suede foundation which makes it very attractive. The foam is divided into two layers and the top layer is of less density than the secondary layer. It has a base layer of latex foam which helps in a spring action. This is unique to Simmons.
You may find may people complaining of sleeping hot in a memory foam mattress. The reason behind this is that most of the manufacturers have an additional layer of convoluted high density foam introduced in order to help improve air circulation. I’m not really sure if that really helps in air circulation but so far has been a good feature for the companies to market their product.
Having said all this, you must have realized by now that the best foam mattress is the one in which you feel the most comfortable. Keep the density factor in mind and do not compromise on it. Let me tell you my personal favorite memory foam mattress. The one I like and strongly recommend is the basic version, OriginalBed, Tempur-Pedic mattresses. It’s truly the best among all and is a value for money.
