Infographic Reveals 4 Critical Criteria to Consider When Selecting a Memory Foam Mattress TopperCHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / March 10, 2016 / "In comparison to slow spring back memory foam originally developed by NASA in the 1960s, third generation memory foam with open-cell technology not only springs back fast, but also melts and molds around the sleeper's body quickly. However, in spite of these recent technological advances, even some of today's so called best memory foam mattress toppers sag prematurely and heat up excessively" warns Belinda Palmer, a spokeswoman for Bedroom Solutions.This TOP 6 Memory Foam Mattress Topper Comparison was recently published to educate consumers on the Pros and Cons of different brands of mattress toppers, so that shoppers can easily distinguish a low-quality topper from a high-quality one.The above review and comparison has been compiled based on a variety of criteria such as (1) memory foam density, (2) mattress topper thickness, (3) firmness, (4) hypoallergenicity, (5) resistance to dust mites, (6) whether memory foam is gel-infused or not, (7) safety certifications, and (8) consumer reviews.
Visit http://Bedroom.Solutions/Mattress-Toppers/Memory-Foam/ to learn about these 6 best memory foam mattress toppers and to read an educational infographic that reveals 4 critical criteria to be considered when shopping for a memory foam topper.According to the aforementioned infographic, the choice of memory foam mattress topper depends on (1) one's sleeping position, (2) the condition of the mattress the topper will be placed on, (3) the level of therapeutic support expected, and (4) the sleeper's body weight."The sleeping position plays a major role in the choice of mattress topper. Unfortunately, there isn't a one size fits all type of a mattress topper that suits every sleeping position. Each sleeping position demands a different firmness for proper alignment of the spinal cord. For example, side-sleepers require soft memory foam mattress toppers, while back-sleepers require firm mattress toppers. The side-sleeping position calls for extra softness to allow the shoulders to sink deep in to the mattress, so that the spinal cord stays nice and straight.
Given the important role it plays when selecting a mattress topper, it is crucial that one pays close attention to memory foam firmness, also known as indentation force deflection (IFD), before he or she decides on which mattress topper to purchase,"explains Palmer. The infographic contains easy-to-understand graphics that illustrate the best type of memory foam mattress topper for side, back, and stomach sleeping positions."In addition to firmness, mattress topper thickness should also be considered when selecting a gel memory foam topper," explains Palmer. "The shoulders of a side-sleeper will sink into a soft mattress as long as the thickness of the topper can accommodate it. However, a shoulder width of 8 inches cannot sink into a 2-inch thick foam mattress topper, regardless of how soft it may be. This is why the above-mentioned infographic recommends toppers with a minimum thickness of 3 - 4 inches for side-sleepers. On the other hand, a stomach-sleeper should not sleep on a thick topper because that will put his/her spinal cord out of alignment.
This is why 1 - 2 inch thick foam toppers are best suited for stomach sleepers," she elaborates.The above list of best memory foam mattress toppers comprises of popular brands like Nature's Sleep, Serta, and Slumber Solutions as well as not-so-popular brands like Dream DNA and Sleep Innovations. While some of these toppers are exclusively available online, others can be purchased through local mattress stores as well.In addition to reviewing the best rated memory foam mattress toppers, Bedroom Solutions has published a guide to help consumers decide if their mattress-related problem could be solved with a mattress topper or if they actually need to replace the existing mattress.This Infographic on 5 Facts and Myths on Memory Foam Toppers provides a detailed description about how to choose between a memory foam mattress and a mattress topper."One of the biggest myths floating around says that high-quality memory foam toppers can fix any mattress-related problem. This is far from the truth," explains Palmer.
"Just like the comfort level of a mattress is dependent on the bed platform underneath it, a mattress topper is only as good as the mattress lying under it. A topper, no matter how expensive it is, cannot flatten the deep sagging or hard lumps of an old mattress. However, mattress toppers can work wonders for shallow indentations and mattresses that are either too soft, too firm, or too warm. Mattresses that are too soft can be easily fixed with a firm latex mattress topper, while a mattress that is too firm can be fixed by laying a soft memory foam topper over it. Mattresses that sleep too hot during summer months can be made cool by laying a cool gel memory foam mattress topper over it," Palmer highlights."Contrary to popular belief, a magical memory foam topper capable of solving all mattress woes does not exist. Correctly identifying the problem and selecting a suitable topper that can solve that specific problem are critical when shopping for a memory foam mattress topper," advises Palmer.For more information about us, please visit http://Bedroom.Solutions/Contact Info:Name: Belinda Palmer Organization: Bedroom SolutionsSOURCE: Bedroom Solutions
There are many different reasons someone may want a to put on top of their existing mattress. As we talk to our customers, the same reasons come up over and over again. Initially, many people are unsure of their own reasoning in buying a latex mattress topper and think that their reason for wanting a latex mattress topper is unique. At Sleep On Latex, we often find ourselves mentioning examples of other customers who have bought a latex mattress topper for the exact same reason. Below is a list of the most common reasons people buy latex mattress toppers. 1. I just bought a new mattress but it's too firm It can be hard to judge how a mattress will feel day in and day out. The firmness of a mattress will likely feel different to you after sleeping on it for 5 hours vs. trying it out for 5 minutes in the store. It is easy to make a mistake. Just because a mattress is a little too firm, does not mean you made a terrible mistake. A lot of our customers like their new mattress but simply wish it was a bit softer.
A soft or medium latex mattress topper is perfect for this situation. A 2" latex mattress topper will work great in most cases. A 1" latex mattress topper may work if the problem is very minor. A 3" latex mattress topper is great if the problem is more severe or if you simply love the feel of latex foam. A soft latex mattress topper will make your mattress feel slightly softer without drastically altering the feel of your mattress. If anything, it will probably give you better support than the mattress below. 2. My mattress is old and uncomfortable Putting a latex mattress topper over an old mattress can give the mattress a whole new life. If you have an old mattress that has become increasingly uncomfortable, a latex mattress topper is a great and cost effective alternative to buying a new mattress. Often, mattresses have soft polyurethane foam at the top. Polyurethane foam will degrade over time and will eventually lose its firmness. Depending on the quality of the mattress (more expensive does not always mean higher quality!), this process may take place sooner than you would expect.
Often times the springs below the foam will remain in decent condition after the the foam has lost its firmness. The mattress will feel firmer because it has lost the soft cushion that the foam once provided, leaving only the feel of the firmer springs below. Putting a latex mattress topper on top of your old mattress will restore the cushion that the polyurethane foam once provided. Latex foam is much more supportive than the polyurethane foam and you will likely find that your old worn out mattress is more comfortable than ever. The best thing is, you won't have to worry about the latex foam falling apart like the polyurethane foam. It is not uncommon for latex foam to last for over 20 years. 3. My mattress is too hot Latex mattress toppers breathe very well and are great to place on the surface of a hot bed. Many beds use memory foam on the top layer of the mattress. Memory foam retains heat and contains no air channels to allow heat to escape. Latex foam naturally breathes and contains air channels which allow air to circulate through it.
When you choose a latex topper to resolve heat issues with a mattress, be sure to choose a thicker topper to provide an adequate barrier between your body and the mattress below. Also be mindful of other materials on the surface of the mattress. The heating effects of synthetic and non-breathable materials on the surface of a mattress can be very difficult to counteract. 4. I hate the way my memory foam mattress caves in on me We don't sell any memory foam, but we have to admit that memory foam seems "cooler" than latex foam at first sight. Unfortunately, many people find that the memory foam mattress they thought was so "cool" in the store, is simply not comfortable to actually sleep on. As mentioned above, it gets hot. We also commonly hear from customers who complain about how their memory foam mattress caves in on them. The slow movement of memory foam, which makes memory foam seem "cool" in the store can be a huge problem for people when they actually sleep on it.
Many people find themselves waking up frequently throughout the night as their memory foam mattress prevents them from moving around in their sleep. Latex foam, on the other hand, is very reactive and will move with you to provide support at every point. While memory foam will fight you every time you shift position, latex foam will adjust instantly to keep you comfortable. We recommend going with a 3" latex mattress topper in this situation to give you maximum protection from the sinking memory foam. A medium or firm 2" latex mattress topper may also help. 5. I am building my own mattress and need a top layer We talk to a lot of customers who have taken matters into their own hands when it comes to a mattress. We sell all kinds of latex foam toppers which can be used for DIY mattresses. Our large selection of 100% natural latex mattress toppers is great for people who want an environmentally friendly mattress which is free of harmful chemicals. When building your own mattress, it is important to understand that our bare latex foam will not pass federal fire regulations.
