There are many claims about the almost magical relief from aches and pains that memory foam mattresses can provide. But are these claims real? Can you really get a better nights sleep just by getting a new mattress? And is a memory foam mattress really good for people who have arthritis, rheumatism, and joint pain? It is easy to be skeptical when you hear about how much better memory foam is than traditional mattresses. Memory foam has an almost mythical allure, especially when people say that it was originally designed by NASA for use on the space shuttle.

It turns out that not only is the NASA story true, but the pain relief statistics are true, as well. NASA developed the first tempur products in the 1970s in an attempt to make take-off more comfortable for astronauts. In the 1980s NASA made tempur foam available to the public for consumer product development. A number of companies have used this technology and the response from consumers has been overwhelmingly positive. So how does memory foam relieve muscular ache and other aches and pains?

The answer is simple, even if the technology is not. A memory foam mattress responds to the heat of your body, conforming to the contours that you make when you lie on the mattress. This means that where you are lighter, for example at your knees, the memory foam is not compressed because your body heat is not penetrating as deeply as at your heels and over the muscles of your leg. The result is distributed support exactly where you need it. Support for your skeletal system, especially in your hips, legs, and back, provides a break for your muscles. Muscle tension during sleep is often a result of the need to support your bones.

Memory foam doesn’t just support your back. Memory foam supports every part of your body exactly where and to the degree that it needs support. Your ankles, knees, and hips get great support from memory foam mattresses. Even a memory foam mattress topper can make your bed better at taking care of you while you sleep. The magic of memory foam? Well, the only hint you get is that it has to do with body temperature. Does that make any lightbulbs light up in your brain? No? Okay, here’s the real explanation…

Memory foam, developed by NASA in the 1970s and released for consumer development purposes in the 1980s, responds to the warmth of your skin by compressing. The warmer a spot on the mattress, say at your shoulder where a lot of pressure is pushing into the mattress, the more the mattress gives and molds around your body. Where there is less pressure, at your waist, let’s say, the memory foam will hold its firmness and continue to support your body. The same is true of your legs. The widest part of your muscle will sink into the memory foam the most, because the warmth of your muscle allows the memory foam to contract. But at your knee, the memory foam will only contract enough to conform to your knee and it will continue to provide support.

As you can imagine, this leads to a very comfortable sensation. Memory foam mattress toppers are incredibly popular, but they only provide the bare minimum for ultimate support of the musculoskeletal system. When your bones are fully supported, and all the weight of your body is evenly distributed across a memory foam mattress, your muscles can completely relax. Waking up in the morning after a truly relaxed night of sleep is like no other feeling.

When you start looking into higher quality mattresses that will give you a better nights sleep, you will probably discover that you have a lot of options. Today, memory foam mattresses and mattress toppers come in a variety of weights and sizes, giving you inexpensive as well as top of the line choices. Many people are now also looking into latex foam mattresses as a substitute for memory foam mattresses. There are many pros and cons to latex mattresses, and depending on the quality they can be incredibly comfortable. But nothing provides the consistent relief from aches and pains the way that memory foam does.

Tests have shown that memory foam is consistently just a little more comfortable than latex mattresses. The benefits of latex are many, including the fact that latex is more environmentally friendly and healthier for you if you compare natural latex to petroleum based memory foam. Latex is also the most durable type of mattress out there. A latex mattress can last 15 years or more. But the bottom line for many people who are looking for a memory foam or latex mattress is that they want to be more comfortable. If you suffer from joint pain, arthritis, or rheumatism, memory foam is probably still best for you. If you are simply looking for an upgrade from your old mattress, you might find latex is comfortable enough.

Memory foam mattresses are still the leader in the industry, but latex technology is catching up fast. You may find that the eco-friendly appeal of latex outweighs any difference in comfort, as you will still get a good nights sleep with latex. Just don’t be fooled when you are told latex is always natural, because synthetic latex is also very common and doesn’t provide the eco-friendly or health benefits.

Although there are choices in memory foam products, a key decision when purchasing a new bed is whether to purchase a petroleum (polyurethane) based mattress or one made from natural plant sources.  Most foam mattresses on the market are polyurethane while MemoryFoam uses only natural fiber from soy.

The key difference with MemoryFoam’s plant based mattresses is that you will be sleeping on something that is an all natural product from a plant, stabilized in our manufacturing process to provide maximum comfort and breathability.  Polyurethane products will always off-gas, and whether you smell it or not, it is breaking down and entering the air.  Some people are particularly sensitive to these odors, but whether you are or not, it is a consideration when choosing a mattress.

Additionally the processing of Petroleum based products are an environmental consideration.  The natural sources used by MemoryFoam are not only environmentally sustainable but green in every sense of the word.

Our high-quality, earth-friendly memory foam mattresses, toppers and pillows are also available at lower prices than polyurethane products. Because our ECO-CELL™ viscoelastic memory foam is a soy-based, healthy memory foam it offers unparalleled support and pressure relief.  And new to our lineup is ECO-CELL HD™, a higher density version of our popular ECO-CELL™ formula that is the ultimate pressure-relieving foam – also a soy-based product.

So if you want a natural, higher quality mattress at a much lower price, and savings up to 60%, memory foam is an easy choice. Add to that our 90 day in house risk free trial and free shipping and there is no comparison with any other products on the market. Purchasing a memory foam mattress will not only insure a good night’s sleep, but will support environmenally sustainable products.

REM sleep is the very calm stage of sleep where the eyes are rapidly moving, yet we are completely at rest.  On the average, 25% of our sleep is in REM, usually for four or five periods over the night.  It is important to have these deep phases of sleep to feel fully rested in the morning.  It is important to have a comfortable mattress, allowing the body to relax and enter REM sleep through the night.  Memory Foam’s unparalleled support and pressure relief can provide the perfect comfort to induce REM sleep.  Our high-quality, earth friendly, memory foam mattresses, mattress toppers and pillows will provide the comfort needed to provide deep rest.

Without REM sleep we do not feel rested, no matter how long we are in bed.  The need for REM sleep has been established since experiments were done in the 1950’s showing that those who could not get a deep and restful REM sleep each night, would be more agitated and less efficient during the day.  A memory foam mattress or a memory foam mattress topper can give that extra sense of comfort leading to the deep rest of REM sleep. The flexibility to find the perfect position for deep sleep is available with our Adjustable bed sleep systems, also available with Memory Foam.

The ECO-CELL™ viscoelastic memory foam we use is a soy-based, healthy memory foam that offers unparalleled support, adding to the induction of REM sleep.  MemoryFoam.com has also pioneered COOL-TEK Technology, adding cooling comfortable factor to insure that overheating does not prevent the restful stage of REM sleep.

With much lower prices and better quality available with savings of up to 60% over other brands, our 90 day risk free warranty – and free shipping — Memory Foam mattresses are the right choice for those who want to make sure every stage of sleep is the most restful.

The ILD (Indention Load Deflection) for any type of foam mattress is a relative rating of firmness.  Although this may be one of the factors in choosing a mattress, with memory foam it is not firmness alone that determines comfort.

Memory foam is more comfortable because it contours to your body, offering support in some places and condensing in other places.  On a regular mattress, parts of the body that take the most pressure during sleep become inflamed and tense.  Whether a pillow, a mattress topper or a full mattress, the ILD of memory foam can be factored in with the support structure underneath to gauge what is right for you.  Scale ratings for memory foam will be lower than standard foam (10-16) but to some degree it is comparing apples and oranges.

While memory foam may have a lower ILD than standard foam, it also has a different cell structure, with different density, and does not simply support your body weight, but adjusts to your shape.  It was initially developed by NASA for seats and beds in space to provide maximum comfort for astronauts.  Memory Foam’s ECO-CELL™ viscoelastic memory foam is a natural, state of the art memory foam that offers unparalleled support and pressure relief.  Brand new to our lineup is ECO-CELL HD™, a higher density version of our popular ECO-CELL™ formula that is the ultimate pressure-relieving foam.

Choosing a high quality mattress involves a number of factors and Memory Foam offers a choice based not only on ILD, but overall comfort and support.  All this at savings up to 60%, and memory foam is an easy choice.  Add to that our 90 day in house risk free trial and free shipping and there is no comparison with any other products on the market.

The density of a Memory foam mattress is measured by its weight.  Typically our foam is rated from 4 through 8 pounds, with the higher numbers being the greater densities.  At MemoryFoam.com you will see a selection of mattresses that allow you to select the right comfort and contour for you.  We recognize this is a personal choice and provide the information that will help you choose based on your needs and the product that will give you a good night’s sleep.  Our 5-7 pound densities are rated at maximum conformity.

Memory foam is comfortable because of the way it contours to your body, supporting it in some areas, and shaping itself to the structure of your body.  This minimizes stress points and reduces tension in areas that might be tired or inflamed.  Whether a pillow, a mattress topper or a full mattress, the density is a key factor of memory foam in gauging what is right for you.

Memory Foam’s ECO-CELL™ viscoelastic memory foam is a natural, state of the art memory foam that offers unparalleled support and pressure relief.  Brand new to our lineup is ECO-CELL HD™, a higher density version of our popular ECO-CELL™ formula that is the ultimate pressure-relieving foam.  Again, we can help you choose what is right for you to provide restful sleep.
