Sleeping on the wrong mattress can cause you to toss and turn all night, waking up tense and frustrated. One of the myriad benefits that memory foam mattress owners tout is waking up feeling relaxed...in great part because of the added cushioning support on their backs.
Memory foam hit the commercial market in the 1990s. It had been used in hospital beds, and patients commented on how well they slept through the night on the material. Tempur-Pedic was the first brand to sell the visco-elastic foam commercially, re-creating their own brand of the material first developed by NASA twenty years earlier. Since then, memory foam mattresses have become the fastest growing sector of the bed market.

But how does it work??
Memory foam mattresses are different from standard mattresses because the material molds to the contours of the owner's body at all pressure points. This acts as a cradle, hugging the natural curves of the body instead of you forcing your body into the grooves of your standard mattress. Your body heat is what triggers the molding effect of visco elastic foam. In the past the mattresses aged poorly, a major concern for buyers spending thousands on their new tempur mattresses. But technology never slows down, and today's mattresses and mattress toppers are made denser and more durably than the early forms, allowing them to last years longer (especially with proper care).
Using body heat to work...that sounds like it would create a lot of heat! How does a Memory foam mattress stay cool? Visco-elastic memory foam was a product created in the lab, so it has built-in comfort properties. Air pockets are placed in the foam without affecting the integrity of the product. These air channels, which run within the foam, keep you cool even if your body gets warm at night.
Memory foam mattresses are sold in a variety of densities, and mattress toppers come in varying thicknesses. How do you know which one is right for you? The heavier you are, the denser you want your mattress to be. If you are a side or back sleeper, the thicker pads are better. Stomach sleepers generally prefer thinner mattress pads.
As with most products, the best way to know what is right for you is to head to your local mattress shop and see what feels best for you.
