The two technologies have been around for awhile, and more and more, people are combining them to provide the ultimate sleep experience. Each provides distinct advantages to sleepers and once they come together then those advantages are multiplied. Here, we will outline tips for choosing a memory foam mattress for an adjustable bed as well as sizes and specifications.Because memory foam is inherently flexible and durable, it offers the perfect complement to electric adjustable beds. However in order to make this ideal combination of memory foam and adjustable beds really work for you, you have to take a couple of things into consideration.First, you have to consider the density of the memory foam. If the quality of the foam is compromised by a low density (under 4.0lbs) then it may show wear sooner than expected.
You want to be sure that the foam density falls within the 4.0-5.3lb range so that the cells maintain their shape and integrity throughout the adjustments.The profile of the mattress will also play a role in how well this combination works. A memory foam mattress over 10” may make it more difficult for the adjustable bed to properly function. Beds over 10″ will still work, though you may have a somewhat reduced range of motion. An 8″ profile would work fine for back sleepers and lighter individuals, whereas side sleepers and larger individuals will appreciate the extra support in 10-12″ mattresses. You want to find happy medium between thickness and function or else you may not get the true potential of the adjustable bed and memory foam mattress combo. which includes an 8″ thick memory foam mattress with 4.5lb density foam, starting at $1399.Adjustable beds come in a wide range of sizes, and some may be difficult to find mattresses for. However, memory foam mattresses are often available in these sizes or can be customized.
The sizes range from twin to cal king, and most manufacturers also have long sizes for twin and full that offer 80″ length. You will want to make sure that the size of the base and mattress you are considering match, and ensure your room has sufficient space.Twin and full are relatively small set-ups that sleep only a single person and take up a relatively small amount of space. The XL sizes offer more length, ideal for taller people. Smaller sizes save money, and are often perfect for a person who sleeps alone or has limited floor space.However, for those who have a partner or simply desire a larger space, the queen or king adjustable bed sizes offer a better option. Queen adjustable beds can be found in one-piece or split sizes, though king size adjustable bases nearly always come in split models where two halves operate independently. Split bases usually can be made to operate together making the use of one king size mattress possible as opposed to two twin XL’s.While many people like memory foam mattresses and many people like adjustable beds, some people may wonder why it is such a good idea to combine.
The truth is that each offer additional comfort and support that makes it so people can relax and sleep better. Why wouldn’t you want to have the advantages of both? Consider the benefits of the memory foam—it contours to your body to reduce pressure points, it has a solid reputation of being durable and long-lasting, not to mention reviews indicate that it decreases back pain. Then, think about the benefits of the adjustable bed—it allows a person to customize their sleep experience and alleviate pain and pressure. Together, these two products create the best sleep experience for nearly everyone, whether you are perfectly healthy or have ailments like back pain or GERD.These two products come together to create the ultimate sleep experience. Memory foam pretty much always matches well with an adjustable bed with only a few things to consider to makes sure the mattress lasts as long as possible and the adjustable bed can still move freely. Once you take a few moments to make sure that the two items fit appropriately, you are sure to have a comfortable sleep.
A memory foam mattress and an adjustable bed are a great combination for several types of sleepers. 2016's Best Black Friday Deals on Memory Foam Mattresses Find A Great Deal with Labor Day Mattress Sales 2017 Best Memory Foam Mattress Deals From 4th of July Sales: 2017 EditionThere is no easy answer to this question, and if you have already taken a look at my page on firmness it’s easy to understand how knowing what thickness to buy can be just as confusing. Of course, I’m all about memory foam mattresses because I think they are the way forward if you want the ultimate in comfort overnight. However, there is one rule that everyone should consider even if you don’t think a memory foam mattress is what you need right now. It goes without saying the more you weigh, the more support you will need while you sleep. However, although you will need to find a thicker mattress if you weigh more than average for your build, you still have to take into account how firm you like your bed to be.
If you like a really soft mattress beneath you, it’s best to go for the thickest you can find and reduce this depending on how firm you like your bed to be. If you suffer from general aches and pains, the thickness of the mattress you choose can have an effect on this. But if you’re under medical care for various back, shoulder neck or joint troubles it is best to check with your doctor before you decide to go ahead and buy a new mattress. Of course, the more support you need can determine how thick a mattress you sleep on should be. Basically, as with weight the thicker the mattress, the softer it will be. I would like to clear up one little “niggle” here. Some memory foam mattresses can be as thin as 6 inches or as thick as 13 to 14 inches. However don’t think that just because you buy say, a 12 inch foam mattress, this is the amount of memory foam you have. Whilst some manufacturers are very good at outlining the actual amount of memory foam you have, others are not.
How much you wish to spend does come into account because the more memory foam included with a mattress will determine this. Having said that, I have some reviews on mattresses that are very reasonably priced yet offer enough support to help with various aches and pains. For instance, most mattresses like this will have a layer of base foam which is where most of the support occurs, a layer of memory foam and a layer of high density foam on top. To make it easier, the more memory foam you have, the softer your mattress will be, which (as I have said) is important to know if you’re heavier than average or you need specialist support when you sleep. There are other permeations to think about as well. For instance, some memory foam mattresses will incorporate layers that help keep you cool. The reason for this is this type of mattress is well known for reacting to your body temperature so it can conform to your shape, which in turn can create more heat while you sleep. Knowing that a thicker mattress will generally have a softer feel for most people of an average weight is useful.
