Top 16 Benefits of Memory Foam Mattresses
Memory foam has been the latest trend in mattresses over the past decade or so. While most trends come and go, memory foam mattresses are here to stay. This type of bed is here for the long haul because of all the benefits it brings to your sleep quality, lifestyle, and comfort.
1. Heat Sensitive
Memory foam mattresses that were manufactured early on retained body heat, making some nights warmer than most people would like. Updated mattress companies however, use unique technology to keep you cool at night. For example, REAL SLEEP mattresses use what they call FloraFlex technology to draw heat away from your body as you sleep.
2. Provides Pressure Point Relief
Memory foam is great for sleep because it goes easy on all those trouble spots that seem to ache every time you wake up. Memory foam helps alleviate pressure and minimize pain. Memory foam mattresses can relieve up to 80% of the pressure points your body faces on traditional mattresses.
3. Supports Spine Alignment
When sleeping on a traditional mattress, your spine spends too much time in unnatural positions. Memory foam mattresses however, contour to your curves and give even support along your back, keeping your spine in a more neutral position.
4. Your Partner Can Toss and Turn
Memory foam mattresses are made of material that absorbs motion. Like you’ve seen in old commercials, companies demonstrate this feature by placing a wine glass on the bed and having something move around on it, not knocking it over. Your partner can now toss and turn all they want in the middle of the night without disturbing your sleep.
5. Hypo-Allergenic
Memory foam mattresses, unlike other mattresses, are naturally dust mite resistant, making it perfect for someone who gets sneezy when it gets dusty.
6. Great Durability
Traditional mattresses have to be flipped every few months and have to be replaced much more often than memory foam mattresses. Memory foam is a dense material that doesn’t lose its supporting features as easily as traditional mattress coils do. Spring mattresses actually lose 16% of their support just in the 1st year.
7. Low Maintenance
Again, traditional mattresses have to be flipped and rotated, a hassle for some people. Memory foam on the other hand can be vacuumed and rotated if necessary, but other than that, there’s not much to do.
8. Easy Set Up
Memory foam mattresses can be shipped to your home in a box depending on whom you order from. This has become the new best way to mattress shop. Because its flexible and can fit into small spaces before it expands, memory foam mattresses call for an easy set up.
9. Touches Your Whole Body
Traditional mattresses keep leave gaps between your body and the mattresses. These gaps can cause chronic back pain or painful pressure points. Memory foam on the other hand holds your entire body snug.
10. Choose Your Sleeping Position Without Consequence
Some sleeping positions are back for your back and neck. While you still need to be cognoscente of this, a memory foam mattress alleviates most of the factors that lead to this sort of pain.
11. Comfort
Many people still love their traditional mattress, there’s no denying that. However, most people who try out a memory foam mattress fall in love instantly.
12. Optimal Blood Flow
When you sleep on a memory foam mattress, your body weight is evenly distributed. This happens because there are no points that sag or lift up off the mattress like they would with a coil mattress. The even distribution allows for optimal blood flow throughout the body.
13. Low Cost
The most comfortable and supportive traditional mattresses can go for $2,000 to $3,000. Memory foam mattresses however can be found for much cheaper, with the same or better quality.
14. Reduce Neck and Back Pain
Long-term memory foam mattress use has been linked to the reduction in chronic back and neck pain.
15. They’re Quiet
Memory foam mattresses are known to be quiet. Unlike some coil mattresses, it doesn’t squeak or creek when you sit or lay on it.
16. Versatility
