What is a memory foam mattress?

A memory foam mattress – or memory mattress – is a mattress with a layer of viscoelastic (memory foam) on top. Memory foam mattresses are remarkably comfortable, provide high levels of pressure relief and are naturally hypoallergenic. They’re temperature-sensitive and contour to your unique shape, giving you extra care for aches and pains.

Memory foam mattress firmness

If you sleep on your side or vary your sleeping position during the night, consider a Medium comfort grade mattress. These provide extra cushioning that allows your body to sink further into the mattress while keeping your spine aligned and healthy.

The benefit of memory foam is it will respond to your body shape, providing even more support and comfort while sleeping in this position.

The benefits of memory foam mattress

Memory foam mattress provides a true body fit

Mattresses constructed of memory foam actively mold to your body in response to heat and pressure, allowing the surface to evenly distribute body weight when occupied and return to its original shape once pressure is removed.

Memory foam mattress provides temperature-control support

We know that your body temperature can affect how well you sleep. Memory foam beds are manufactured using a temperature-sensitive material, which allows the mattress to adjust your body heat and weight—as your temperature increases, the mattress becomes softer to provide a good night’s sleep. If you’re typically warm-blooded, you may want to consider a memory foam mattress with a cooling feature.

Memory foam mattress provides pain-relief comfort

Memory foam bedding provides health benefits by relieving pain, body aches and soreness, as well as helping your body to recover more quickly from injuries. Areas of pain have a slightly higher temperature than the rest of the body, and memory foam detects these differences and molds to the body accordingly by adding or reducing pressure to the area.

Memory foam mattress is allergy friendly

According to Environment, Health and Safety Online, a typical mattress that has been used for a few years, contains anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million dust mites inside. Memory foam mattresses, however, are composed of polyurethane foam, which is made of fibers that prevent allergy-causing dust mites from collecting within the bed. Unlike standard mattresses, memory foam’s dense composition prevents the accumulation of allergens over time.

Memory foam mattress provides motion transfer resistance

A logical option for couples, memory foam absorbs surface movement to reduce disturbances when a partner moves around in bed. This is good news for those who have partners who toss and turn, as disturbances are minimal all while the mattress conforms to each of your body’s unique needs.

How do you make a memory foam bed cooler?

Because of memory foam’s absorbent and cocooning nature, it can get a little hotter at night. While you can purchase additional mattress toppers that help absorb moisture to cool you down, this kind-of contradicts the point of having a memory foam mattress – after all, you want to enjoy the sumptuous-feel of memory foam, so why take the away with extra layers? Silentnight memory foam mattresses, however, comes with breathable borders. This is to help increase airflow through the mattress, so you can still enjoy the cloud-like comfort of memory foam, without feeling all hot and bothered through the night.

How long does it take before the smell goes on memory foam?

Some residual odour may be apparent on removing your new foam mattress from its packaging. A mattress is packaged in airtight polythene immediately after it is manufactured to ensure that it is sterile, dry and clean for the consumer. This has pros and cons. On the upside you know that no one has had dirty, sweaty hands on the place you plan to sleep. Unfortunately it also means that the smell from the treatments used on the fabrics is not able to escape leaving the mattress with that toxic “new-mattress” smell. This is quite normal and not a cause for concern. Please give the mattress time to air by leaving it uncovered in a well ventilated room for several hours before use.

What is a pocket spring memory foam mattress?

A pocket spring memory foam mattress is a mattress with a pocket sprung support system and memory foam comfort filling. The pocket spring support system provides the core of the mattress. These springs come individually nested and respond to your individual movement to provide tailored support. On top of the spring support system is the memory foam comfort filling. This gives you an extra layer of comfort and provides the cocooning, sumptuous-feeling that customers love.

Can a memory foam mattress be flipped?

As a general rule of thumb, memory foam mattresses are single sided – this means they can’t be flipped because the comfort filling is on the top of the mattress and not the bottom. However, we do recommend you rotate your mattress every few months to prolong the lifespan of the mattress.
