Fact or Fiction - Memory Foam Mattresses are More Comfortable.

You’ve heard it on commercials and see it in ads everywhere. Even your friend has told you that the memory foam mattress she just bought is better than any mattress she’s ever had before. But what about all this hype about them? Are they really that perfect? Are you really going to get a better night’s sleep on one as opposed to a typical spring mattress?

You never know until you try.

The truth is it depends upon the person. Memory foam may indeed be your key to salvation from all your sleepless nights. The difference is in the way the mattress holds up your body during the night. In any typical spring version, the coils are used to hold up a person’s weight. All that lies between you and the springs is a thick padding to help reduce the pressure points the springs make on your body. It also doesn’t matter which type of bed you have; platform beds, daybeds – they all use one basic mattress. A box spring makes no difference on the way you feel on the bed, it merely supports what you’re already lying on.

Memory foam is another innovation by NASA. It’s now far from its original use and being created by companies like Keetsa Mattresses. With a focus on organic, high density memory foam, companies like this are continuing to change the industry. People lying on these green-tea mattresses experience a softer feel as the material allows them to sink in where necessary while offering support as well. The foam really does contour around areas like hips and shoulders, the waist and legs. For people who like an extra-firm place to sleep, an organic mattress like this isn’t likely to appeal to them. But for other people who have issues with pressure points, pain, and even for kids beds, it could very well be the most comfortable place to sleep in the world.
