Are you tossing and turning all night and you certainly have no desire to get up and start the new day ? The reason could be that your body is unable to relax as you can’t find a comfortable position to lie in, one that would be supportive in all the necessary areas such as knees, hip, belly and neck. One possible solution to this problem is to get a memory foam mattress – but this is a quite expensive variant , so why not considering trying a memory foam pillow or mattress topper in the instead ?
Created for NASA in the 1970’s, memory foam was to give comfortable support for astronauts at ascend and landing, it failed to become available in the shops until the 1990’s. Since that time the market has grown and is still growing very quickly, particularly as the medical profession recommends its usage for soothing back pain and pressure sores. Regardless of the fact that the first producer was Tempurpedic and used generally in hospitals, the firm eventually heard that people who used the foam, slept better, and they broadened manufacture to sell to general public . Since that time other companies have designed their own memory foam goods , such as memory foam adjustable beds. The largest producers now are China and the Far East.
How does it give you help to sleep? Memory foam is visco-elastic which means that it changes according to body temperature by growing softer when it is warm and firmer when it is cool . In other words, your body warmth softens the corresponding part of memory foam and it moulds to your shape. What needs to be said here - with the less expensive , lower density foams, the foam can get as hard as cement when the when it is chilly or it may turn into soft goo on hot summer nights. The more expensive brands are much more likely to work in the right way through any changes of temperatures.
If you’re still not quite sure why not buy a foam pillow or a memory foam topper instead of that . Most manufacturers offer a wide choice of products and the better ones will offer a trial period and longer warranties as well so that if the item doesn’t suit you, you can hand it back.
How do you choose a memory foam mattress? There are certain differences in the way they are made so it is vital to find out from a retailer how they are constructed and which kind of construction would suit you best. Rule of thumb - mattresses can either have three or four inches of memory foam over a denser supportive core. More depth isn’t necessarily right either as you can sink in too far before reaching the core layer ! If you sleep on your stomach you need to get 2 inch (5cm approx.) foam, those who sleep on side and medium sized people should get a foam memory mattress with three inch (7.5cm approx) foam and heavy people or those who sleep on their back should purchase the four inch (10cm approx).
There are of benefits but what about the unpleasant moments ? Why memory foam failed to be used by NASA? Foam is a product made by people that emits gases when new . In your home it lasts for a very short period of time, but might have been a hazard in a space capsule! Nevertheless, if you are sensitive to this type of gas, you should think about searching for a natural product like a foam latex mattress.
