"What Is The Best Memory Foam Mattress ?"
First of all, it would be impossible to say what the best memory foam mattress is because much of what goes into the correct answer would be subjective. If you are just wanting a total luxury experience you would, obviously, choose a different mattress than someone who is trying to put an end to back, neck or leg pain. Also, you have to know if the person sleeps on their back, side or stomach. Couple that with how tall they are and how much they weigh and you would come up with several answers as to which is the best one. Let me answer a couple of concerns and then I will take a stab at suggesting what I feel is the best mattress for each category...fair enough? Before you do that, why don't you check out my monthly video e-zine "Fads, Facts and Fun" and you'll receive a special report The 5 Deadliest Sins Most People Commit When Buying A Memory Foam Mattress...And How To Avoid Them! A person who is less than six feet tall and weighs over 220 lbs. should definitely consider the best choice to be one that has more than the 3 to 3-1/2" of memory foam. It should have 5" to 6" of quality memory foam or memory foam/latex over the polyurethane base foam. The main reason for saying this is when a person of that weight rolls over at night, they might tend to raise up on their knee or elbow and "bottom out" on the underlying polyurethane base foam. Someone who is under 160 lbs. would probably be happy with a top layer of memory foam that is only 3-1/2" thick. Depending on their preference, for a firmer or softer mattress, you would recommend accordingly, the best memory foam mattress. If a person is just looking for the plushest, most luxurious mattress on the market, I would have to recommend the Mystere' (mis-stair') by Comfor-Pedic™. as probably, hands down, the best memory foam mattress...overall. For beginners, it just knocks your socks off when you see it. There is a cleanable, velour cover on top which joins a beautiful suede side cover, about 3" down the side of the mattress. That sits atop a suede covered foundation, giving it a look you won't want to put your covers over! There is a top layer of what they call Comfort Advantage®memory foam. It has a lesser density than the underlying 5.9 lb. pressure relieving layer of memory foam. Under that is a layer of latex support foam that adds back just a little of that "springy" feel we all are used to. It's not enough spring to cause motion transfer from a restless partner but enough to help you turn, during the night, without feeling like your rolling out of a rut. Now, add the patented edge support system. Other memory foam mattresses can give you a feeling that you're going to fall off the edge when you sleep close to it. This mattress gives you about 20% more sleeping area than the others because you can sleep right out to the edge and the mattress remains flat. The Mystere' has a superior air exchange system that keeps you from sleeping hot like the other memory foam mattresses can cause. Anyway, I give a 5 STAR rating to the Mystere™ by Comfor-Pedic™. This mattress would suit anyone. Best of the best memory foam mattress! Next, for the people who are looking for a nicer than normal mattress and who fall into the category of over 220 lbs and under 6 feet tall, I could easily recommend the Deluxe® by Tempur-Pedic® or the Natural® by Comfor-Pedic™. Both of these mattresses would suit the broadest range of people. I can say that confidently because the return rate on either of these mattresses is extremely low, maybe 1 1/2% to 2%. That means that 98% of the people who buy them decide to keep them.
The Deluxe™ by Tempur-Pedic®is a 9 1/4" mattress. (this mattress is commonly referred to as a 10" mattress, but I've measured it) It has 3 1/2" of 5.3 lb. memory foam over the polyurethane base foams. It has a plush feel and yet is very supportive of the body. There is a zip-able velour cover that is washable for easy cleaning. It is anti-dust mite and alergyn resistant. An excellent mid-range priced product. The Natural< by Comfor-Pedic™ is an 11" mattress that has a little more than 3 1/2" of 5.9 lb. memory foam over a 2" layer of latex. Those are bonded to the remaining approx. 5 1/2" polyurethane base layers. This mattress has a little "bounce" to it that people seem to like. Again, it isn't enough to cause motion transfer from a restless partner. It does aid in turning at night and with 5 1/2" of memory foam/latex, even the heaviest person won't "bottom out". As with all the Comfor-Pedic™mattress line, it has the patented edge support. The next recommendation for anyone suffering with pain is the BioFlex® that couples memory foam with magnetic therapy for an unbeatable night's sleep even for those who suffer from chronic pain. There are a number of combinations that can be made to tailor this terrific mattress set to anyone. The permanently magnetized flex-pads have been clinically proven to reduce pain, aid in the healing of broken bones, stimulate increased circulation and extend the time spent in rejuvenating sleep. These mattresses are made with latex or memory foam. They also make a mattress topper with therapeutic magnet technology. Say goodbye to pain and pain relieving drugs. All things being equal, it might just boil down to price so that would definitely be a consideration also. Now you know why I said the best memory foam mattress is more than one mattress selection. |
