For those who want the benefits of a memory foam mattress, but do not want to buy an entirely new mattress, a memory foam mattress topper may be a good solution. Memory foam mattresses, also known as visco elastic memory foam, conform to the body as body heat softens the foam. This relieves the pressure points when sleeping and can induce a better night's sleep and reduce aches and pains. In addition, a mattress topper adds comfort by providing an extra layer of softness. There are several points to consider when shopping for a memory foam mattress topper and taking comfortable sleeping to the next level. First, consider the condition of the current mattress. If the mattress is sagging or lumpy, a new topper will not likely help. The topper will simply mold to the lumps and sags of the existing mattress, reducing its effectiveness. It is best to have a mattress that is in good condition to form the base for the topper. Once the mattress is worn it really is time to replace it with a new mattress.
Memory foam toppers generally come in two and three inch thicknesses. The thickness that feels right for any one person varies based on sleeping style and preference. Stomach sleepers will do well with a two-inch topper, while back and side sleepers should go for a three-inch topper. However, to choose the best topper its thickness must be measured along with its density. In general, lower density foam should be paired with a thicker mattress topper and higher density foam works well with a thinner topper. The two measurements taken together determine the support level and individual comfort level of the topper. The density of the mattress topper will tell you how many pounds of memory foam are in each cubic foot. Generally, the higher the density, the firmer the cushioning effect is. Toppers with a four-pound density will be firm, while those with a two or three-pound density will give a little more. Lower density mattress toppers are for those who like a softer mattress. However, high-density mattress toppers are more durable than less dense varieties and can last up to ten years.
Memory foam toppers come in a couple of different textures. Most foam toppers are flat and smooth. However, there is also an egg crate memory foam topper that many prefer because of its improved airflow. The new egg crate foam is not the same as the traditional egg crate topper material that people have used for years to add a layer of comfort to their mattress. The egg crate memory foam is far superior in terms of support, comfort and airflow. Those who live in hot climates, or those who simply sleep hot, will appreciate a gel foam mattress topper. These types of toppers were created to address the concerns of consumers who stated that memory foam held body heat, making sleeping uncomfortable under certain conditions. Gel foam toppers contain a gel that helps to disperse body heat and improves the airflow around the body. Memory foam mattress toppers can be waterproof. Choose a waterproof topper for toddlers who may have accidents. In addition, a mattress topper can protect the mattress itself from wear and tear, making it last longer.
One of the major complaints about memory foam mattress toppers is that they have an odor when purchased new. This is usually due to the application of a flame retardant as required by law. However, most often the odor goes away in a day or two. In some outside cases it can take weeks. Some models emit more odor than others, but with all memory foam mattress toppers, just like new carpet, it is best to let them air out for a day or two by opening windows and running ceiling fans to let the chemicals off-gas. eBay has many options for memory popular foam toppers.
