Are you constantly tossing and turning all night and you certainly don't want to get up and start the new day ? One of the possible reasons is that your body is unable to relax completely as you can’t find a suitable position to lie in, one that would support you in all the main areas such as knees, thigh , belly and neck. One solution to this problem is to buy a queen memory foam mattress – however this is not the cheapest variant, so why not considering using a memory foam pillow, mattress topper, or a memory foam sofa sleeper mattress in the instead ?
Designed for NASA in the 1970's, memory foam was to provide comfortable support for astronauts at take off and landing, it didn't become available in the stores until the 1990's. Since that time the market has grown and is still growing rapidly, particularly as the medical profession recommends its use for relieving back pains and pressure sores. Regardless of the fact that the first manufacturer was Tempurpedic ® and used mostly in hospitals, the firm eventually heard that patients who used the foam, slept better, and they broadened production to be available to general public . Since then other manufacturers have created their own memory foam goods . The largest producers now are China and the Far East, but be cautious of foam products made outside of the United States.
How does it give you help to sleep? Memory foam is visco-elastic which means that it adjusts to the body temperature by growing softer when it is hot and harder when it is cold. In other words, your body warmth softens the corresponding area of foam and it moulds to contours of your body . What needs to be said here - with the cheaper, lower density foams, the foam can grow as hard as cement when the when it is chilly or it can become 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 quite sure why not buy a foam pillow or a memory foam pad for instance. Most companies offer a selection of products and the better ones will offer a trial period and longer warranties as well so that if the item doesn’t please you, you can return it back.
How to choose a memory foam mattress? There are differences in the way mattresses are made so it is vital to find out from a seller how they are put together and which type of construction would suit you best. Rule of thumb - mattresses can have 3 or 4 inches of memory foam over a denser supportive layer . More thickness isn't inevitably right either as you can sink in too far before reaching the core! If you sleep on your front you should get 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 heavy people or back sleepers should purchase the four inch (10cm approx).
There are lots of advantages but what about the disadvantages? Why memory foam failed to be used by NASA? Foam is a product made by people that emits gases when new . In your home it lasts for a very short space of time, but might have been problem in a space ship ! However , if you are allergic to this type of gas, you should think about finding a natural product like a foam latex mattress.
