Compared to the 60 X 80 inch queen, the 54 X 75 inch full size is a touch too small while the 76 X 80 inch king size is a tad too bulky. This is why queen size memory foam mattresses are more popular than full and king size memory foam mattresses" explains Belinda Palmer, a spokeswoman for Bedroom Solutions.This Top 7 Queen and King Memory Foam Mattress comparison was recently published to educate consumers on the pluses and minuses of different mattress sizes and to help them identify high-quality mattresses from low-quality ones.The above review categorizes recommended memory foam mattresses into (1) soft, (2) medium-firm, and (3) firm mattresses.
"Soft mattresses are best suited for individuals that mostly sleep on their sides" explains Palmer. "Sleeping on the side puts a lot of pressure on the shoulders and hips. A firm memory foam queen mattress will not allow the hips and shoulders to sink into the mattress resulting in the spinal cord being pushed out awkwardly. However, if the mattress is soft, the hips and shoulders will 'melt' nicely into the memory foam, allowing the spinal cord to stay straight. In contrast, for back sleepers and stomach sleepers, the memory foam mattress must be pretty firm to support the spinal cord sufficiently" elaborates Palmer.Visit http://Bedroom.Solutions/Memory-Foam-Mattresses/Queen-and-King/ to learn about the Pros and Cons of various king/queen memory foam mattress brands."In addition to firmness, there are many other features one must closely consider before purchasing a memory foam mattress of king or queen size" warns Palmer. "One of the major complaints against memory foam is its inherent nature of heat build-up.
This is why 5 of the above top 7 mattresses have been infused with millions of cool gel particles that are known to keep mattresses cool. This is why a cool gel memory foam mattress queen would always be recommended over a mattress without gel" she elaborates.The above review also describes other shortcomings of memory foam such as "off gassing". Especially older generation memory foam used to smell bad for a few days after unwrapping. This is because memory foam mattresses are treated with various flame-retardants during the manufacturing process, and these volatile compounds escape the mattress upon unpacking. However, the above list of best queen and king memory foam mattresses takes this feature into account and does not include mattress brands known to off gas for days/weeks. "Even though modern, high-quality memory foam has minimal off gassing, it doesn’t hurt to air out a mattress for one or two days after unwrapping" says Palmer.The mattress review takes in to account various other factors into consideration such as (1) if the mattresses are made in the USA, (2) the manufacturer's warranty period, (3) whether they are made of 100% foam or whether they are hybrids of foam and innersprings
, and (4) whether the mattresses are CertiPUR-US(R) certified. These are extremely important features to look at before purchasing a memory foam mattress of king or queen size."For those who still don't own a bed frame, the decision on whether to go with a queen bed or king bed can be quite challenging, yet is critically important" warns Palmer. "The difference between a queen and king Tempur-Pedic mattress lies in its width. The standard/eastern king is 16 inches wider than the queen. For a relatively small couple, the queen will work just fine. However, couples that are relatively big-made may need to consider getting a king-sized bed or separate beds. If at least one partner is very tall (e.g. over 6'6") couples may need to consider buying an 84" tall California king bed as opposed to a 80" tall standard king size bed" explains Palmer.The comparison also highlights the importance of picking the right mattress thickness. If the box springs are the standard 9" in height and/or the bed frame is tall, an 8-10" queen memory foam mattress is better suited than a 14" queen mattress.
"On the other hand, if one already owns a low-profile 5 inch king size box spring, the couple can afford to go for a 12-14 inch memory foam mattress king" emphasizes Palmer.The above comparison of the 7 best king and queen memory foam mattresses on Bedroom Solutions is a highly recommended read for anyone looking to purchase a mattress in the near future.

Hoping it is here to stay! I wanted to share with you a completely unsponsored-just-tellin-you-cause-I-feel-the-need-to post about the time we bought a mattress at Wal-Mart. If you would have told me that I ever would have even considered buying a mattress online from Wal-Mart I would have thought you might have been a little crazy. After extensive research and many conversations with my BFF who had just done a lot of research on buying her mattress… we quickly came to the assumption that there’s a lot of smoke and mirrors in buying mattresses…..and you don’t need to overpay for comfort…
We had a pillow top mattress since we were married in 1996. It was a noisy mattress that was probably great for the first 8 or 10 years but it has been pretty awful in recent years. And you know how you really don’t know how bad off something is until you replace it with something that’s amazing?? You think to yourself “good grief…why oh why did I put up with that crappy mattress for soooooo long!!” So what we came to find out is memory foam (which is basically what the tempurpedic and bed in a box mattresses are) is what we were going to buy. After several reviews and discussions that seemed to be the best choice for Bill and I. I really cannot explain to you how incredible this mattress is…. We no longer wake up with back aches. We were both waking up several times in the middle of the night….and had a horrible time getting back to sleep….this hasn’t happened since we started sleeping on this bed. We bought the 12 inch memory foam king bed…along with the appropriate frame.
It is quiet…is it supportive…it is not hot (which was one of our concerns), it is a dream to sleep on. At nearly half the price of the other memory foam mattresses out there…it is a steal. How long will it last? I don’t know…..but I know this…I would rather buy a new mattress at this price every 5 years than ever sleep on anything else. I NEVER leave reviews for things I buy online….and I left one for this mattress. It comes in a box about the size of coffee table…..you open the box….slide the mattress out of the casing and immediately place zipper side down on top of the frame (no box spring required.) The mattress starts to expand right away…. You can sleep on it that evening….but it will take 48 hours to fully come to it’s complete shape (insert your own joke here…. ba da bum.) We noticed it took about 3 nights to “firm” up a bit. The mattress will feel “firm but sinkable” if that makes any sense. Your body heat will allow it to soften just enough in the right spots.
When your partner rolls over or gets out of bed….you will feel nothing. I love this bed. I cannot say it enough. This is not a sponsored post….just need to share my mattress love with you all! Since we saved sooooo much on our bed (total bed cost for frame and mattress was just $460 for a KING bed!! Sidenote: ours was on sale when we purchased. )….I went out searching for the softest sheets in the nation. I found these on Amazon…. (Click on picture below to go to shop:) These sheets are not cheap….but I promise you…they are like butter soft. They are the nicest sheets we have ever owned….and I will replace them immediately whenever they wear out. I promise they are so worth it!!!! We had to get new pillows too since we went from a queen to a king. I researched the pillows that received high reviews (which by the way is the same pillow at most high end hotels) The down pillow made by Pacific Coast…..perfect for side,back and tummy sleeping….you can find them on this link below.
