However, even some of today’s so-called best memory foam mattresses from renowned manufacturers are far from flawless" cautions Belinda Palmer, a spokeswoman for Bedroom Solutions.This Top 10 Memory Foam Mattress Review and Comparison was recently published to educate consumers on the Pros and Cons of popular mattresses, so that they can quickly recognize a low-quality mattress.
The above review compares mattresses based on features like (1) density/firmness, (2) thickness of gel memory foam layers, (3) heat retention, (4) CertiPUR-US safety certifications, (5) motion transfer between partners, (6) suitability to different sleeping positions, (7) hypoallergenic properties, (8) price, (9) user reviews, and (10) warranty period.Visit http://Bedroom.Solutions/Memory-Foam-Mattresses/ to learn about above features of the best budget-friendly memory foam mattresses in today’s marketplace.Popular mattress brands like Simmons Beautyrest, Serta iComfort, and Tempur-Pedic occupy the list of best luxury memory foam mattresses while less well-known brands like Perfect Cloud Ultra Plush, Ultimate Dreams, Sleep Innovations, Signature Sleep, Classic Brands, Amerisleep, Dynasty Mattress, and Lucid make up the list of best budget-friendly mattresses. "The decision-making process that goes into selecting a mattress can be exhausting" exclaims Palmer. "The first hurdle is choosing between memory foam, latex, inner spring, water, and air mattresses" she adds.
The Memory Foam vs Latex vs Inner Spring vs Adjustable Air Mattress Comparison was recently published by Bedroom Solutions to help people get through this initial hurdle.The above comparison looks at various aspects of the 4 mattress types such as: (1) support on pressure points and alignment of the spine, (2) motion transfer between partners, (3) mattress sagging, (4) the need to rotate/flip mattresses, (5) how hot or cool it sleeps, (6) suitability to use on adjustable beds, (7) off gassing odor, (8) weight, (9) lifespan, and (10) cost. The comparison clearly shows that memory foam and latex are superior to others in most aspects."Once the consumer makes the above decision, he or she still needs to decide whether to buy a (1) soft, medium, or firm mattress, (2) thin (6" – 8") or thick (10", 12" or 14") mattress, (3) full, queen, or king size, and (4) whether to buy online or at the local mattress retailer" elaborates Palmer.Once the consumer is convinced that he/she needs a memory foam mattress
, several additional factors need to be considered to ensure that an uncomfortable mattress is not purchased. "While memory foam is superior to other types in many aspects, especially, older-generation memory foam can have a few drawbacks” explains Palmer. “As a result, some of the cheap memory foam mattresses (1) emit strong chemical odors, (2) heat up too much, (3) are too soft or too firm, (4) fail to expand back to correct thickness after being shrink wrapped, (5) sag prematurely, and have (6) excessively soft edges" she adds.Over the last four decades memory foam has been around, manufacturers have recognized these flaws and come up with effective solutions. One such solution worth mentioning is how the ‘sleeping hot’ problem has been handled. Foam mattresses are inherently good at absorbing body heat, but poor at releasing it out. This has been successfully addressed in newer generation memory foam thanks to ‘open-cell’ technology, invention of gel memory foam mattresses, strategic placement of grooves that bring out hot air, use of air-infused memory foam, and even using bamboo-made mattress covers that allow mattresses to efficiently ‘breathe’, in turn allowing mattresses to stay cool.
The above memory foam mattress review takes into consideration all these factors and has already eliminated low-quality mattresses saving consumers days, if not weeks of online research-time. In addition to reviewing the best memory foam mattress brands, Bedroom Solutions provides a mattress buying guide which emphasizes the role of one’s sleeping style when selecting a soft vs firm mattress. "Adhering to these sleep-expert guidelines will help minimize stress on pressure points like shoulders, hips, and buttocks, while optimally aligning the spine for an uninterrupted, pain-free night of sleep" advices Palmer.For more information about us, please visit http://www.Bedroom.Solutions/Contact Info:Name: Belinda PalmerSource: Bedroom SolutionsWhat to Read NextOur readers have told us that buying a new mattress can be a headache because they're difficult to compare from store to store and model names change frequently. To help, Consumer Reports tweaked its tests and mattress ratings this year making it easier to tell how firm a mattress really is on a scale of 1 to 10 and how much support it provides to people who sleep on their backs or their sides.
In fact, now you can match your sleeping style and your stature to your mattress by scanning the six columns in our ratings that call out the best mattresses for petite, average, and large/tall side sleepers and petite, average, and large/tall back sleepers. Here are two top picks from each of the three types of mattresses we test.At $3,000, this Sleep Number bed is especially pricey, but there’s a lot to like if you sleep primarily on your back. As with other memory-foam, adjustable-air beds from Sleep Number, you and your partner can adjust the firmness of independent halves of the bed to your preference. In addition to its superb back support, the mattress was impressive at keeping the spine horizontal for side sleepers. The mattress measures 12 inches high, so you’ll get by without deep-pocket fitted sheets.You don’t have to pay thousands for an adjustable-air mattress to get impressive side support and even better back support. The pricier Sleep Number i8 bed edged this one out in overall performance, but you’ll pay $2,200 less without a noticeable difference in support.
Trying the bed out before buying will tell you if this mattress’s thinner top foam layer is less comfortable. The mattress measures just 8 inches high, so you’ll get by without deep-pocket fitted sheets.Back sleepers have a lot to like about this $1,500 innerspring from Charles P. Rogers, but you might be less satisfied when you roll over. With a latex-foam topping, the mattress was among the best at supporting the curve of the spine and very good at keeping side sleepers' spines horizontal. The mattress came out fine after eight years of simulated use, and it was top-notch at muting vibrations, meaning little bouncing from across the bed. It measures 14 inches high, so you'll probably need deep-pocket fitted sheets.Sealy Posturepedic Hybrid Trust CushionMattresses can cost much more than this Sealy innerspring mattress, $1,275, but this one was very good overall however mixed its performance in our support tests. It's a good bet for a petite person who sleeps on her side but not so great for a large/tal sleeper who prefers sleeping on his back.
And the mattress is much softer than claimed. On the plus side, it came out great after eight years of simulated use and was fine at muting vibrations, meaning little bouncing from across the bed. It was also fairly breathable. The Sealy is 12 inches high, so you shouldn't need deep-pocket fitted sheets.Casper The CasperFrom a relatively new brand, Casper has a winner in this memory- and latex-foam mattress, which scored impressively across the board. Few mattresses in our ratings score equally well for both back and side support, and at $850, Casper has achieved it without a thousand-dollar price. It showed only minor changes after eight years of simulated use and transmitted little vibration from one side of the bed to the other, so changing positions is fairly easy. Another plus: Since the mattress measures only 10 inches high, you won't need deep-pocket fitted sheets.Novaform 14" Serafina Pearl Gel (Costco)This Novaform memory-foam mattress from Costco is infused with gel beads and was impressive both at supporting the spinal curve while you're on your back and supporting you while you're lying on your side.
