The Benefits Of Foam Mattresses

Several years ago I was suffering from major back problems that made it hard to even bend over many times

. When I started to educate myself about the various mattresses, I discovered memory foam mattresses. When I went to the store to test my first foam mattress, I was instantly in love. It was easily the most comfortable mattress I had ever been on.

After several months of sleeping on the foam mattress, my back problems slowly started to disappear. No longer did I wake up in the morning and have to walk hunched over until my back straightened out. It was like I had a brand new back!

What exactly is a memory foam mattress?

By using your body heat, the foam will actually mould itself into the shape of your body. Providing comfort and superior support that many other beds can't match. Memory foam is designed to easily compress when it is laid on, and when the pressure is remove, it almost instantly will regain its prior shape.

Now with a spring mattress, it will essentially push back with equal force against your body. This can lead to a great deal of discomfort and pain. With a memory foam mattress, the weight is distributed equally, reducing the pressure points on your body substantially.

This is why a memory foam mattress not only reduces aches and pain, but it also helps you to get a more restful nights sleep. As we all know, getting an ample amount of sleep is one of the most important things you can do for your body.

Of course not all foam mattresses are created equally. A high quality mattress will have a minimum of 3 inches of memory foam. For firmness, you will want 3-4lbs of memory foam for a softer mattress and over 5lbs for a more firm mattress.

Some high quality manufacturers include Sealy, Highgate and Millbrook. Each of these manufacturers has low and high end models, but in general, a good, durable foam mattress can last anywhere from 10-15 years or more (if taken care of properly).

Buying a foam mattress takes time and a whole lot of patience. Keep in mind that this will be your new bed for the next decade plus, so I suggest spending a considerable amount of time trying out different brands and keeping a set of notes on each. When you have exhausted all the various possibilities, then and only then should you make your final choice.
