A memory foam mattress is just one sleep surface out of what seems like a bewildering variety of beds. What makes selection even more bewildering is that there is no one single type of mattress that is right for everyone. I cannot stress enough the importance of trying out a mattress for yourself before you buy.
Here are some facts about memory foam that may help you choose.
- Memory foam mattresses last longer than innerspring mattresses, but they also cost more. However, there are many price points available.
- They conform to body shape, making you less likely to toss and turn. They also offer relief from pressure points, and they can help with joint pain. Most people find the body conforming factor comfortable, but test to see if it feels confining.
- You may also want to test if a memory foam mattress feels too warm, because it tends to retain body temperature.
- Foam mattresses are a good choice for partners, as they are good at isolating motion. You do not wake up because your partner shifts position.
Even within the category of memory foam mattresses there are many different choices, and constant developments and innovations are being made to make them more comfortable.
