Finding The Best Mattress For Your Special Needs

I have a health condition that involves its fair share of aches

, pains, and sleep disruptions. Before I replaced my mattress, I felt like a zombie almost every day. But things are much improved since I selected a visco-elastic memory foam mattress that suited my special needs.

Even if you don't have a particular medical concern, you should have a bed that addresses your sleep concerns. You owe it to yourself, especially because human beings spend approximately one-third of their lives in bed. But how can you know what to look for as you shop for a new mattress in Lansing? Let me give you some tips.

Since the visco-elastic memory foam material was developed by NASA and peddled in the form of a mattress by the Tempur World brand, it has become a popular composition in whole or in part for mattresses produced and sold by dozens of labels.

This substance has been praised for its ability to conform to the curves of the human body--hence the term "memory foam"--relieving pressure on the muscles and joints and providing superior alignment of the spine over other types of mattresses, which tends to result in less back and neck pain in the long run.

However, there is a misconception among consumers that all memory foam is created equal. I know I believed that when I set out to purchase a new mattress. But it does in fact come in different firmness levels and different quality ranks.

If you are considering the purchase of such a mattress, be sure to thoroughly discuss your options with the sales representatives at the store you visit.

A "side effect" of having a memory foam mattress is that they tend to retain heat much more than the average spring mattress. During the cold winter months, this can be a positive thing, but at other times of the year, it can be stifling. If you sleep with a partner, it would be wise to buy a king or California king-sized mattress.

Visco-elastic memory foam is not for everyone, so don't let anyone pressure you into a sale that you don't feel comfortable making. You are going to be spending a good chunk of the following years on the mattress that you choose, so take your time.

You may want to make a list of criteria for the mattress you buy so that you can immediately narrow things down when you step in the door of the mattress shop. If you have a condition like I do, you may even want to consult with your doctor to find out if they have any recommendations.
