Best
Foam Mattress Memory Beds Pillows
Firstly,
latex and best foam mattress memory in general are fantastic!
They are definitely superior to the standard innerspring mattresses
for comfort, spine alignment, circulation and pressure distribution.
I am a board certified Family Practice Physician who has back
pain and I've tried a lot of mattresses. I researched about
20 different companies that sell latex and foam mattresses.
After comparing foam density, latex and memory foams, I test
drove about 3 different ones (Tempurpedic, Abed and Foamorder.com)
Basically all the companies offer similar latex:
Even a very heavy person only really needs a 6 to 8 inch mattress. Most people only feel the top four inches, really. Foundations provide some support, but are really more to add height. The fashion in thicker mattresses is just that...a fashion. They are not better, but are marketed by mattress companies as "more luxurious". Tempurpedic is the most expensive
Best Foam Mattress Memory. The bottom layer is not latex, but a conventional foam which I found too hard. It is then covered with three inches of 5 lb memory foam and a thin velour cover. I thought that the
Best Foam Mattress Memory was of good quality. It was surprisingly firm. So I added their memory foam topper. However, the price was over $1800 (for a king size foam/latex with memory foam and foundation) However, I found a much better price- $1300.
The quality of the latex is about the same at both companies. But the
Best Foam Mattress Memory is much closer to the Tempurpedic, which is the 5lb density as opposed to 4 lb density at Abed. ---You can also order the three-inch thickness. They will also customize the size of each layer, the firmness of each layer, custom covers, the thickness of each layer and free shipping! But you're not shopping for a system of interrelated coils. To find the right one for you, kick off your shoes and stretch out on some floor models. Look up into the fluorescent lights on the showroom ceiling and see how relaxed it makes you feel. Roll over onto your side if that's the way you sleep. Bring your partner (if you've got one) and see if the bed quakes when one of you rolls over. Hug the edge and see if it is so soft that you feel as if you might slide off. Identify how much padding you like. Super firm? Plush? Super plush? Don't let the jargon influence you. ONCE YOU'VE determined what type of mattress feels most comfortable to you, you're ready to comparison shop. Retailers demand unique names from manufacturers for the brand-name mattresses they sell. That exclusivity makes it difficult for you to compare prices and raises the odds that you can't collect on and "blowout" sales--which run almost all the time--cloud the picture even further.
