Common Complaints About Memory Foam Mattresses
It's impossible to please everyone, so it's no surprise that memory foam mattresses receive some negative feedback
. Here are some common complaints we sought out on the web, followed by some helpful tips from Novosbed.
"It's hard on my back. After sleeping a few nights on my new mattress, my back felt ten times worse than it did with my old bed."
Like a new pair of runners or hiking boots, your mattress needs to be worn in and adjust to the shape of your body. After a few nights, you'll notice a difference: the aches and pains will disappear and you'll wake up feeling refreshed and limber.
"My mattress is too warm."
This is a common grievance. Many people find that they overheat during the night, which interrupts sleep. Memory foam is quite a dense material, absorbing and reacting to body heat. The lower the density (ie. 4lbs/cubic ft or lower), the more you'll sink into the mattress. This provides too much cushioning around you, not letting your body breathe. If this type of discomfort continues, consider purchasing a Novosbed mattress. Our 5.2lb/cubic ft density provides great support, but does not allow your body to sink in too deeply, so you'll stay cool during the night.
"It's difficult to sit up and get out of bed in the morning."
Some people find that it's difficult to sit up after laying down on their memory foam mattress. Instead, they roll to the side and slowly get off the bed that way. This complaint may originate from sleeping on a mattress with low density foam. The lower the density, the less supportive the mattress will be, thereby absorbing too much weight, making it difficult to sit up or change positions. Looking at the specifications of the mattress you're interested in is important: be aware of the memory foam density. Anything below 4lbs/cubic ft will be too soft.
"My mattress smelled like chemicals when it first arrived."
Many salespeople deny the fact that you'll notice an odor when you unpack your new mattress, or they'll say something like "[The] 'New Memory Foam Smell'...is a good way of determining authenticity and quality." This is ridiculous - if a salesperson needs to claim something like this, beware! The fact of the matter is that, because of the manufacturing processes involved, all memory foam mattresses have a slight odor. Even the most expensive ones. It's a good idea to let your new mattress air out for 4-7 days in a well ventilated room. To get rid of the smell faster, place a cup of white vinegar next to the mattress while it's airing out.
"It's way too expensive."
The mattress industry is famous for selling products at highly inflated prices. If you plan to purchase your mattress at a retailer, you can guarantee that you'll be ripped off. The profit margins and overhead expenses are through the roof - why would anyone want to pay such high costs for a product they can buy online for a fraction of the price? Be aware of the frills and gimmicks when walking into a mattress store. Your best bet is to shop around, see what you like, then search online for a comparable product at a much lower price. The quality and comfort of Novosbed mattresses has been compared to that of Tempur-pedic, which retails at upwards of $3,200.
"It's too heavy."
Memory foam is quite heavy, yes. That's because of the density of the foam, as well as the thickness. Novosbed's 5.2lbs/cubic ft memory foam provides the necessary support for high pressure points, its weight being a small price to pay for its comfort and durability. It's also vacuum packaged and rolled, making it easy to move before opening.
