All about memory foam mattresses
Memory foam mattresses are ideal for a comfortable sleep. Many manufacturers are now engaged in the release of such modern products. Therefore, everyone can choose the right model for themselves.
Advantages and disadvantages
The Memory Foam was created in the second half of the 20th century. Memory foam was developed by NASA. They wanted to use this product in order to reduce the load on the astronaut's body. Unfortunately, this material was never applied in practice.
But the Swedes became interested in the development of the American company. They were the first to create a filler with a memory function. Nowadays it is used quite often in the creation of mattresses. Such products have a lot of advantages. They can:
-
quickly take the shape of the human body;
-
withstand weight up to 200 kg;
-
keep warm and allow air to pass through.
Mattresses are ideal for sleeping together. In addition, it should be noted that such a filler is completely hypoallergenic. Over time, fungi and bugs will not start in it.
This filler also has disadvantages. But they are insignificant.
-
Bad smell. Many buyers report that new mattresses with this filling smell bad. But the chemical odor usually disappears after 1-2 weeks of use.
-
Rigidity. People who are accustomed to sleeping on ordinary mattresses find that products with memory function are too hard. But this situation can be quickly corrected. To do this, after the purchase, the mattress must be gently kneaded.
-
Price. High-quality products with such a filler are quite expensive. It also turns off many buyers. But since a good mattress can serve its owners for 8-12 years, such a purchase is fully justified.
Separately, it should be noted that a large number of low-quality products are currently being sold. In order not to stumble upon such products, mattresses should be bought from well-known trusted manufacturers.
Species overview
There are two large groups of products with memorix filler.
Spring loaded
Such models are based on either a block of strong independent springs or a bonnel-type mesh.... This base is surrounded on both sides by high-quality filler that can remember the shape of the body. These are the products that most of the consumers buy.
Springless
Mattresses on this basis are entirely composed of layers of soft foam. They are firm and provide excellent back support. The disadvantages of such models include their high cost and high weight.
Dimensions (edit)
The size of the mattress plays a very important role in choosing a mattress. A properly selected product will not slide off the bed or lose its shape after prolonged use.
The most popular mattress sizes are 160x200 and 140x200 cm. They are great for large beds. But now models of unusual sizes are becoming more and more popular. Manufacturers make them to order according to customers' measurements.
Before buying a new mattress, you need to measure the bed, and not the old product that you plan to replace. Indeed, over the years of operation, it can deform.
The height of the mattress depends on whether it has a spring block or not. It is desirable that it rise slightly above the bed frame. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for a person to lie down on it. The average height of a full mattress is 15-30 cm. Thin models are used only as mattress toppers. Such toppers are bought much less often than classic products.

Selection Tips
When choosing a mattress, you need to pay attention to several parameters.
-
Rigidity... When choosing a mattress, you should focus only on your preferences. After all, some people like soft models, while others like harder ones. If possible, it is recommended to test the product before purchasing.
-
Case... An important role is played by what material the cover is made of. Most of all, buyers like products made from natural materials. Manufacturers recommend paying attention to removable covers. The choice of such models greatly facilitates the process of caring for the mattress.
-
Foam type... Two types of memory foam are used to create mattresses. It can be thermoelastic or viscoelastic. The first option is more often used by domestic manufacturers. Models with this foam are cheap. They are recommended for use in warm rooms. If the room is constantly cold, the product will not be able to fully reveal its properties. On the other hand, models with viscoelastic foam do not harden. They can be used at any time of the year. This filler is found in premium products. Most European manufacturers use it.
Focusing on these parameters, it is easy to find the right product for both the bed and the sofa or couch. It is recommended to buy the same pillow together with a quality memory foam mattress. This will help to significantly improve the quality of the shopper's sleep.
To extend the life of such a product, you need to properly care for it. Bedding manufacturers and sellers recommend the following guidelines.
-
Turn the mattress over and change its position every six months. This is done so that the product does not lose its shape over time.
-
It is worth using such a mattress for a bed with a flat and rigid substrate. It is not recommended to put it on a mesh or spring bed.
-
If the mattress is temporarily not in use, it should not be stored in a room that is too cold. This will also deform the product. You shouldn't buy such a mattress for a room in which the temperature is constantly changing.
If you adhere to these simple rules, the service life of the selected product can be extended by several years.
