last updated: Feb 17, 2017How do you choose a memory foam mattress? Memory foam mattresses are a fast-growing alternative to innerspring mattresses because they contour the body and provide excellent comfort and support.We know a thing or two memory foam about memory foam, our natural memory foam mattresses are some of the best ranked in the world.Knowing what to look for is key in finding the best memory foam mattress to fit your needs. Here are a few important things to know before buying a memory foam mattress:The misconception... density is what dictates the feel of a foam. That's not entirely true.Foam density actually has more to do with the foams durability. A 5 pound per cubic foot memory foam mattress will outlast a 3lb memory foam by an average of 10 years.Most high-end mattresses, including Essentia and Tempur-pedic, have 5lb+ density foams. See our we compare to other memory foam.Buyer Beware: Many mattress companies boast a 5lb memory foam but fail to specify that this dense foam only makes up the 1st inch of the mattress.
The following layers are weak 2 or 3 lb density memory foams.mmHg is the basically how comfort is measured.It's the unit of measurement used to determine a mattresses reaction against pressure.According to the healthcare industry, a standard of 32mmHg or lower is considered pressure relieving.More pressure relief = less press points = less tossing and turning which is the goal here.A low mmHg also means better blood circulation, however, this is difficult to achieve while maintaining a higher density.The best rating in the industry is offered by Essentia mattresses with 12.43 mmHg.A mattress ILD, or indentation load deflection, ranges from 6 to 40. Most memory foam mattresses on the market rate anywhere between 10 and 16 ILD. Many of the best memory foam mattresses use multiple layers, each with a different mmHg, which enhances a mattress' comfort because the layers work together.Mattress components are often imported from foreign countries like China and assembled in Canada or the U.S.A.
Many mattress companies deceitfully claim that their products are Made in Canada or Made in U.S.A. when in reality they are just assembled in that country.Tests are rarely performed on mattress components that are imported and there is no way of knowing what chemicals are used to make them. Any harsh chemical odors are masked prior to product exportation with industrial perfumes or even green tea extracts.Regular memory foam, also known as visco-elastic memory foam or visco foam, is made with petroleum-based chemicals.This type of memory foam is synthetic (man-made) so it sleeps hot because it traps in body heat like nylon or polyester fabrics do.Sleeping hot and chemical odors are the main complaints among memory foam mattress owners.It's all due to the chemical composition of that foam.If you're not a fan of sleeping hot and are health conscious, you'll want to consider natural memory foam mattresses and pillows.You may have seen us on Dr.OZ, Rachael Ray, O Network along with other media appearances.

By: Ty Barton on Nov 14,2016 Like Sleeping on a Cloud! It's like sleeping on a cloud! I love to lay down on my mattress and feel myself sink into it as it conforms to my body. It is the most comfortable thing I have ever slept on! It supports my body perfectly and quickly adjusts as I move around throughout the night. Also, despite it being summer, it is cool to sleep on and doesn't generate any extra heat. I was given this product to try and review, and I don't think I will ever be able to go back to a normal mattress now. Reply to this review By: Gavin on Nov 11,2016 A wonderful cloud that will help you sleep like a baby The mattress protector comes wrapped in thick plastic, and conveniently includes an opening tool which made unpacking quite easy. After letting it air out on the back deck, I tried it out for the first time and fell in LOVE. I never realized on the amazing sleep that I was missing without it until the next morning. My previous memory foam mattress was quite stiff in comparison to this cloud.
The three inches of foam give just the right amount of stability and firmness needed for a comfortable sleep. Even though I got this mattress topper for free, I would pay full price for it now that I know the change it has made in my sleep. By: Kate Dalley on Nov 10,2016 We Lent This To Our Elderly Parents Because They Loved It So Much I have always wanted one of these. I kept seeing these at Costco- but this is SO much more plush and I love it. It's really thick and once we got it on our King bed, my husband and I both just sunk down into it and I think both of us let a sigh at the same time. It supports you but I noticed my shoulders do not hurt if I sleep on my side. We both love it. Who needs a new mattress when you get this nice of a topper. The price is awesome. It's so comfortable, my sons kept sneaking in my room to lay on my bed, so I am buying theirs next. My in-laws tried and loved it so much we lent it to them. They said it's the most comfortable thing they have ever slept one.
So we will order another for ourselves. We can't take it away from them now. By: Lacy on Nov 08,2016 This is a great mattress topper! It is so comfortable and inviting! Unfortunately, I already had a topper on my bed, so I had to put this on the guest bed and I don't get to lay on it every night. It is quite soft but without losing support. All of my guests so far have had great things to say about it. It doesn't make you hot at night and fits great on the bed! By: Rachel C on Nov 04,2016 Softest memory foam I’ve ever felt! We have an older spring mattress and have tried to make it softer with other memory foam toppers with no success. Some of the other ones we tried were too stiff or slept too warm. I have felt a lot of memory foam and this beautiful thing is the softest memory foam I’ve ever felt! It doesn’t sleep hot either which is so nice. It seems like the consistency of the foam is airier than other memory foams I’ve seen. We were skeptical to try another memory foam topper, but we would highly recommend!
By: Brett Reynolds on Nov 03,2016 This review is for the LUCID 3-inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper Queen sized. You know that feeling when you lay down on and just sigh "aaahhhhhhh" and suddenly you wake up 3 hours later and realize that you just took a nice long nap on accident? That is what you get with this mattress topper. It didn't take long to realize that this was a 5 start mattress topper. Pretty much as soon as I laid down on my bed while my shoes were still on I realized I was in a heavenly foamy blissful state of happiness that only certain fine things in life can provide. This was my rating of the Lucid 3-inch Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper: 1. The packaging was good quality. The plastic around the topper was tough and durable. I know that they took great care of the topper before it arrived at my house. 2. The topper was the perfect size for my queen sized bed. 3. The mattress topper is made out of high-quality Gel Memory Foam. The Memory foam is soft and molds perfectly around your body which removes uncomfortable pressure that you can feel while laying on a regular mattress without a topper.
