CHOOSING THE RIGHT MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS

memory foam mattresses photoHi, I’m Derek, and welcome to Memory Foam Mattresses Critic.

I took an interest in memory foam mattresses after suffering a back injury a few years ago that kept me awake more nights than I care to remember. Long story short, my memory foam mattress has been a godsend, and I decided to try to make more people aware of what a difference these mattresses can make in your life – hence this website.

Memory foam softens in reaction to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm body in a few minutes. The typical result is that these mattresses support your body’s natural shape, and thus you sleep better and are memory foam photomore rested and less stiff when you awake. The comfort that memory foam mattresses offer generally is considered superior to that of conventional mattresses.

For these reasons, memory foam mattresses have become extremely popular in recent years, and there are a number of mattress brands in a variety of styles and prices you can choose from. To help you make an informed buying decision, I’ve created a comparison chart of 9 of the most popular memory foam mattresses.

The chart gives you the specifications of each mattress at a glance. If you see something you like, something that fits your needs and your budget, click on the Order Now button and you’ll be taken directly to Amazon.com, which is the most trusted merchant on the Internet.

The Critics’ Choices: Memory Foam Mattresses Reviews

Dynasty Queen Memory Foam Mattress

A Quiet, Comfortable Night of Sleep

By Latisha Jones

memory foam mattressesOne of my biggest considerations when shopping for a new mattress was to find a bed that didn’t rock and roll throughout the night when my husband moved around, and that’s why I opted for the Dynasty Queen 12 Inch Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress with 5 Inch 5lb Viscoelastic Memory Foam. It’s a mouthful to say for sure, but the Queen memory foam bed is absolutely the best bed we have ever owned.

My Husband’s Tossing and Turning

While my husband’s tossing and turning was really disruptive to my own ability to sleep at night, the fact is that while he was tossing and turning, he wasn’t sleeping well, either. He just couldn’t seem to get comfortable on the spring mattress we had, and the more he moved around, the more we both were kept awake.

A Review From a Back Pain Sufferer

By Ben Reynolds

memory foam mattressesI have suffered from chronic back pain for years, and my pain management was one of the key reasons I decided to buy the Sarah Peyton 10-Inch Cool Sensations Memory Foam Mattress. I had tried numerous mattresses over the years in my effort to find something that was comfortable and that eased my pain. I even tried a few other memory foam beds, too. This memory foam mattress, however, has by far given me the best results of anything that I’ve tried.

My Sleeping Issues

I know a lot of people have back pain issues, and I am probably no different, although I would say that my pain is maybe a bit more severe than what most experience. Getting to sleep and staying asleep alike have been issues for me, and unfortunately this has caused an issue for my wife, too.

A Model of Comfort and Affordability

By Luann Kreycek

memory foam mattressesIf you have ever been in the market for a memory foam mattress, you know just how expensive they can be. My husband and I found that in the past, it would cost you thousands of dollars just for the mattress, but that is simply not the case anymore. The Sarah Peyton 10-inch Full Memory Mattress comes not only with incredibly firm support, but also with two contour pillows that will make your sleep even better.

What Do You Get?

This Sarah Peyton 10-inch Full Memory Foam Mattress is rated four-pound density and comes with two contour pillows. It has a pressure-relieving design that encompasses 2-1/2 inch Viscoelastic foam on the top layer, with a 7.5” base foam. This means that you will have a relaxing night’s sleep as the foam conforms to your body’s heat.

Get a Good Night’s Sleep

By Mary Anderson

memory foam mattressesBefore my husband and I found the Sleep Innovations 10-inch Sure Temp memory foam mattress, we were just like so many other couples out there. We struggled each night trying to get comfortable, and our tossing and turning would keep the other one awake. Ultimately, we got so tired (literally) of sleeping on our old mattress that we decided to take matters into our own hands. We shopped around quite a bit before we decided to buy the Sleep Innovations mattress.

Why Memory Foam

We really spent a lot of time going from mattress store to mattress store, lying on different beds and testing them all out. What he found to be comfortable, I did not, and vice versa. It’s almost a miracle that we have been married for almost 15 years, because we clearly have far different sleeping preferences!

The Best Mattress We’ve Ever Slept On

By Helen Carney

memory foam mattressesI will go ahead and cut to the chase by saying that the Sleep Innovations 12-Inch Sure Temp Memory Foam Mattress is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on. When I say this, I don’t just mean that it’s the best one we have owned. After all, how many mattresses does a person really own in a lifetime? I mean, it’s better than any I have slept on as a house guest in other people’s homes, and better than in the many hotels I’ve slept in, too. So what’s so great about it?

Spring Mattresses Are No Good

Most of the beds I have slept on have been spring mattresses, and I’ve slept on a few foam mattresses, too. Spring mattresses are generally loud, and even the newer ones will creak when you get in and out of bed.

Affordable, Comfortable Sleep Solution

By Lorraine Dobbins

memory foam mattressesIf getting a full and comfortable night of sleep is getting more difficult for you, you will want to take a look at what the Sleep Innovations 8-inch memory foam mattress can do for you. I personally had been looking for such a mattress for years, but I was turned off by how pricey memory foam mattresses were. When I found the Sleep Innovations model, though, I knew this was just what I was looking for.

Eight Inches of Pure Sleeping Bliss

If you aren’t familiar with just how great the memory foam experience can be, you may be surprised to learn that memory foam actually remembers your body shape and conforms to your unique body weight, size, and shape to give you the perfect level of comfort and support. Before I decided to buy a memory foam mattress, I was looking at other beds, and they were all too firm, too soft, or too pricey. The Sleep Innovations bed truly was the right answer.

This Dynasty Model Has Been a Blessing

By Karen Carter

memory foam mattressesMost people don’t shop for mattresses nearly often enough, and if you are sleeping on a mattress that has lumps or is permanently dented where you sleep, then you are doing yourself a disservice. By buying a memory foam mattress, you will have a better night’s sleep, you will awaken feeling better and fresher, and you will have fewer stiff muscles. Believe me, my husband and I know of what we speak!

What Should You Look For?

One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that if you have a queen memory foam mattress, you will have more than enough room for two people. Although you might think that you need a king, the only reason you would is if someone were to be tossing and turning all night. But with a memory foam mattress, most people sleep soundly in one position, with no tossing and turning at all.

By Clara Bowman

For example, the Sarah Peyton 10-inch Queen Memory Foam Mattress is normally sold for $600 in stores, but when you buy it online from Amazon, you can save 37 percent, which is an incredible bargain for such a high-quality mattress. Because it includes two contour pillows, it is an even better buy.

Buying a Mattress – What You Need to Know

  • September 20, 2011 7:01 pm

memory foam mattressesBuying a mattress might not seem like one of the most important purchases you will ever make, but it will actually affect you every single day of your life. A good mattress can make your nights heaven and your days full of energy, and a bad mattress can make your entire life seem like a living hell. Therefore, before you go out and buy the first one that you see on sale, you should know a little about buying a mattress.

Sizes

Most people know that there are single, double (full), queen, king, and California King. But you will also find a single long, which is ideal for taller people who want a single bed.
