Introduction to Bedding Mattress

Choosing the right bedding mattress can be tricky. There are many different styles, designs and brands available. Luckily for you, we're hear to give you a helping hand...

What Mattresses Are Out There?

The market for bed mattresses is huge. The best way to begin looking into mattresses is to break them down into categories such as type, size or design. Here are just a few examples:

Mattress Type

-Foam Mattress
-Bedding Mattress
-Memory Foam Mattress
-Air Mattress
-Water Mattress
-Mattress Topper

Mattress Size

-King Mattress
-Double Mattress
-Grande Mattress
-Memory Foam Mattress Single

Mattress Design

-Futon Mattress
-Spring Mattress
-Comfort Mattress
-Firm Mattress
-Soft Mattress

As you can see...quite a large selection. So the first thing to do before you go out buying a mattress, is to pick a type, size and design. That way you are more likely to find exactly what you are looking for, and not come home disappointed.

If you are looking to totally change your current bed and mattress for something newer and a bit more up market, some manufacturers like Tempurpedic offer a tempur bed, where you buy a mattress and get the absolute correct bed frame to support it. They did make it after all. This is really the way to go if you want to ensure you're getting the best quality.

Specialist Mattresses

If you're looking to buy a mattress for a specific reason, for example to relieve back or joint pain, there are a few options available to you. Here are just a few recommended brands:

Tempurpedic Mattresses (The absolute Best)

Hypnos mattress

Natural mattress (Made from natural materials)

The visco elastic foam in Tempura mattresses moulds itself to your body shape, therby supporting your body and relieving pressure on joints. It's space age material too...designed and developed by NASA. You'll never have slept better!

Going Out To Buy A Mattress

By now you will have chosen a type, size and design of bedding mattress, and are ready to go out looking, and potentially buy one.

When you walk into the shop, don't be overwhelmed by the amount of mattresses around...these display models are there to test, and for impulse buys from individuals who have not done their homework previously.

Walk up the store assistant and explain what you are looking for, and then asked to be shown what they have in stock. If they are good they will take you straight there and not try to blindside you with something else.

So there it is infront of you...a mattress you might be taking home. Explore every detail.

-Does it look right?
-Does it smell ok?
-Can you picture it in your bedroom?

The most important thing to do here is (and we can't stress this enough) CLIMB ON. You must always TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.

The amount of people that get a mattress home only to find it's not the right one is unbelievable. If the assistant says you can't get on, give him an earfull or walk out. Afterall, they aren't the ones who will be using it! When you're on there don't just lay back and relax the whole time. Remember when you were a kid and jumped up and down on your bed? Do that a bit, just not as obviously...this will test if the mattress is the right build quality for you. Some other things to be aware of are:

-Is it comfy?
-Does it provide you with enough support?
-Is it the right size? (Hopefully, but if your feet stick off the end go for the next size up)

So if you buy the mattress there and then, make sure you get a good price...and make sure you get at least a 5 year guarentee. Some manufacturers will even give you a lifetime guarentee!

Alternatively, you could do the above and find the exact mattress you want and then go home and look online for some cheaper deals. It's common for online retailers to do great deals on bedding mattresses and pillows, much cheaper than stores. A great place to start looking is Amazon.com

Getting Your Mattress Home

If the store is good, you'll probably get a free home delivery, or at least discounted. Don't let the store push you around here...tell them you want it delivered exactly when you want it delivered. Got a busy schedule? Well ask them to hang on to it for a few days. If they turn round and say they can deliver it on the day, even better!

Your bedding mattress should be delivered in a protective box or plastic sheet. If it's not, ask why. You havn't spend all that money only for it to be wrecked in a delivery van. Furthermore, check the mattress before you accept it. If it has any marking or damage at all...reject it! Phone the store and ask for a replacement to be sent immediately. You're not here to buy sub standard goods afterall.

Put the mattress on your (new) bed and make sure it fits ok. Climb aboard again just to make sure. Hopefully it will be 100% perfect and there will be no problems...but if there are better to find them earlier than later!

The final thing to do is to dress the mattress, and fall asleep on it. Relaxation to the max. Maybe you could even purchase some relaxing music
to aid your restful sleep.

Memory Foam Mattresses and Comfort

2009-12-16T11:40:00.001-08:00

The key to a good night's sleep often lies in the type of mattress you are sleeping on. Having a good and comfortable mattress will ensure a good night's sleep and gives you the energy you need for the rest of the day. Through several researches, it has been proved that profound sleep greatly helps a person to overcome his day-to-day problems more effectively and successfully. In the modern era when a person often passes through a hectic life style the value of a profound and comfortable sleep cannot be underestimated. Actually, sleep requires relaxation, and that means a good deep and comfortable sleep. Those who do not enjoy profound sleep and go on tossing and turning in the night; memory foam mattress can be the answer to their problem. Memory foam mattress is also called visco memory mattress. Memory foam mattress can react to weight and body heat to give superior support while you sleep. The main feature of memory foam mattress is that it automatically gets adjusted to your body shape while you slumber over it. With the body weight evenly distributed, circulation is improved throughout the body compared to sleeping on a traditional mattress. As a result, no pressure point is created in your body. This helps you to enjoy peaceful and profound sleep. . No pressure points, no stress, no stress, means having a profound and comfortable sleep which everyone is in of today.

Another quality of memory foam mattress is that when you get up in the morning, memory foam mattress does not give a sag look due to the foam structure that they are made of. While on the other hand traditional mattresses give sag look as they remain suppressed even after you leave them. There are many radical differences to be found between memory foam mattresses and other conventional mattresses. One major difference is regarding total body support on an ordinary mattress, your body must adjust to the mattress's shape and as a result, you can often listen people complaining about back pain, when they wake up in the morning. But with memory foam mattresses, the opposite happens. Memory foam mattresses are available in the market in different types. 4lb density is the most popular and it is considered as a very high quality.

While 3-3.5 lb density mattresses are also found in the market and they are cheaper than the 4lb ones. If you can afford to pay more than 5.3 lb density is also available in the market. This density mattress is heavier and more temperature sensitive. Memory foam mattress can be helpful to those who suffer from gout because memory foam mattress helps in lessening aches and pains. In the field of medicine, too memory foam mattresses are being used to treat the patients suffering from back pain. Memory foam mattress conforms to the body reducing all that tension on the pressure points. No pressure points, no stress, no stress, means having a profound and comfortable sleep which everyone is in of today.

Buying a Bedding Mattress

2009-12-16T11:38:00.001-08:00

Considering buying a memory foam mattress, but new to the memory foam product world? Don’t worry, in this article we will go through the more important things to consider when considering which memory foam mattress is right for you. When considering all of the options, it can be rather staggering from all the different choices. “How do they make so many different types of memory foam mattresses?” you may ask. Just like regular innerspring mattresses, memory foam mattresses do vary in firmness as well as other factors as well.

First thing a person would want to consider when looking for a good memory foam mattress is density. The reason for this is because many memory foam mattress consumers have had a few issues after purchasing memory foam mattresses of densities below 4 lbs. Four pound density memory four mattresses are our recommendation in order to avoid any avoidable sagging in the mattress. However, one exception would be memory foam toppers which can be placed on top of a regular mattress to give it a ‘feel’ of a real memory foam mattress, but these are not as thick as regular mattresses and could potentially wear out sooner than a regular mattress. more and more higher density memory foam mattresses are becoming available nowadays.

Second thing to look for would be a good ILD rating. The ILD rating on a memory foam mattress is the rating of the actual firmness of the mattress determined through a series of tests of the visco elastic material used in the manufacturing of the memory foam mattress. If you would like to compare ILD ratings to that of a Tempurpedic mattress, then an ILD rating of around 13 to 15 should be about right. Firmness is a very big issue for many individuals who experience back pain, fibromyalgia as well as other chronic pain related conditions and diseases. So make sure you get the right memory foam mattress with the firmness and density that best fits your needs. Also, be sure to take advantage of any free trial offers that many memory foam mattress manufacturers now offer!

The next things to consider after density and firmness would be resilience and tensility, if you would really like to go into detail. There are indeed more tests that are done on the memory foam materials in mattresses around the world including stretching the material as far as it can go. This test is the tensility test and this really does not apply to normal household usage of memory foam as the pressure of the body on top of it is about as far as the stretching will go in regards to the memory foam mattress.

When considering resilience, you may want to consider whether or not you would like a highly resilient, or HR, memory foam mattress which is more like an innerspring mattress as the whole benefit of memory foam is the fact that it is made of temperature sensitive material which conforms to the contours of your body. This ‘cradling’ relieves pressure in more injured and/or fevered areas of the body. The benefits of memory foam mattresses are enormous when considering how memory foam affects the body by relieving pressure points while providing spinal alignment, a better night’s sleep and more. So make sure you select your new memory foam mattress carefully as high quality memory foam mattresses can last for many years to come.

Simmons Beautyrest Mattress

2009-08-05T12:16:00.001-07:00

A Simmons Beautyrest mattress is possibly the best known brand in the country, if not the entire world. But Simmons is a world class mattress manufacturer, so is the Beautyrest the best one they make, or is there a better choice? We will look at a few of the facts, and try to help make that question a little clearer.

Where many lines of mattresses are made of only one type, the Beautyrest mattress collection is made of four separate mattress types, beginning with a traditional innerspring, and progressing through pocket coils and memory foam to the highest level, which is a blend of memory foam and pocket coil springs. This is an edge for marketing purposes, can be somewhat confusing to ordinary folks looking for a new mattress, and without any informational background to draw from.

The most basic mattress in the collection is the Beautyrest Classic mattress, which is the most traditional of the collection. It uses innersprings composed of tempered steel, and is one of the most supportive of the Beautyrest mattresses. For frugal shoppers, this is probably going to be the most economical mattress in the whole collection, but don't take that to mean this is a cheaply made mattress, it is merely priced economically.

The Beautyrest World Class provides exceptional support, and high quality memory foam construction. Where many memory foam mattresses retain excess body heat, the patented mattress top of a the World Class line allows air flow under the body to transport body heat away from you before it can make your sleep uncomfortable.

Third in the Beautyrest collection is the Beautyrest Exceptionale, which uses a unique double layer of pocket coil springs to give you a balance between plushness and superior orthopedic support. Pocket coil spring are better able to mold to the natural contours of the body, providing added support in area that need it, and generally allowing better spinal alignment than you can get with many other similar mattresses.

The newest and last item in the Beautyrest mattress collection is a memory foam using a proprietary viscoelastic foam, and is known as the Beautyrest NxG mattress. By using a special vacuum sealed manufacturing process, the NxG foam is better able to conduct heat away from the body than ordinary memory foam, and many picky sleepers consider it to be the best mattress available.

Hopefully, you now understand why it is difficult to pinpoint a particular Simmons Beautyrest mattress to be the best. Each model, from the Classic to the NxG memory foam, is designed to fill a special mattress niche, and give Simmons' customers a broad choice of exceptional sleep surfaces. Beautyrest is, indeed, the flagship mattress line from Simmons, and with so many choices available, it's fairly easy to understand how that came to be.

Visco Mattress

2009-08-05T12:15:00.001-07:00

A visco memory foam mattress gets it's name from the visco-elastic material developed for NASA in the early 1970's in conjunction with the space program.

The astronauts in the space program were facing incredible g-forces, at take-off and re-entry, and the materials that were available, at that time, weren't sufficient to cushion their bodies.

Of course, they weren't looking for a memory foam mattress, they needed seating that was more like a big, overstuffed recliner.

Visco memory foam was developed from foam that had some unique characteristics, such as being open celled and able to return to their original shape and resiliency after being compressed.

You may have seen the commercial with the 30 ton steam roller smashing a mattress flat and how it slowly returns to it's exact original shape...or maybe you're more familiar with the picture of a hand above a mattress with the hand print still showing on it.

Both illustrations are meant to show you the slow recovery of visco memory foam.

Because the billions of cells, in a visco memory foam mattress, are open, air can slowly escape from them and pass into other cells that are adjacent.

As you lie on a visco memory foam mattress, it "melts away" from you until your body is completely and evenly supported over it's entire surface.

That's what has been termed by some as feeling like you're floating in space. (Even though I love my mattress, I've never felt like that was a good explanation of how it feels)

A visco memory foam mattress is temperature sensitive, so it reacts to your body temperature by softening where your body is in contact with the mattress.

If you have an injury, with a fever, the mattress is softer under that place on your body.

In the beginning developments of this material, it was too expensive to be used for residential consumer mattresses and pillows.

Over time, the manufacturing costs have been whittled to a point that a good memory foam mattress is as reasonably priced as a good innerspring mattress and there is no comparison in the comfort of the two.

Memory foam is now being combined with other materials to meet the needs of the vast multitude of consumers who are looking for:

a better night's sleep

relief from back, neck or leg pain

relief from a partner's restless movement

better circulation

a compromise to a softer feel for one person while maintaining the support the other person is used to from a firm mattress

Schedule some time to do some memory foam mattress pricing comparisons and you'll see that you can, affordably, be sleeping on a mattress that is great for your body, health and your budget.

Chosing The Right Mattress For Overweight People

2009-06-19T02:07:00.002-07:00

People who are overweight need to look more into the function and features of a mattress before purchasing them. People who are overweight need to consider the comfort of the mattress as well as the ability of the mattress to cushion their weight as they sleep in order to avoid back aches from incorrect posture from sleeping. They also need to choose good quality mattresses in order to avoid having to replace mattresses often. Now what needs to be considered in buying the right mattress for overweight people? Beds were made for people to sleep and relax in.

A heavy person needs to consider the thickness of the mattress in order to make sure of the comforts of the bed. Most mattress makers and retailers offer different levels of mattress thicknesses in order to suit the needs of the buyer. Most retailers know that the firmer the mattress is, the better it will suit those people who are overweight. So aside from choosing the correct thickness, also look for the right firmness level of the mattress.

Latex or foam mattresses are also recommended since these types of mattresses do not have spring coils in them. The spring coiled mattresses may cause back aches or discomfort once the springs wear out because of the weight of the person bearing down on the mattress. Most latex or foam mattresses are also good for durability because it can last longer than regular spring beds. Memory latex foams are also good choices because it provides good back support.

But not all spring beds are bad for overweight people. Choosing the correct spring mattress for overweight people can also give the same type of comfort and back support as with any latex or foam mattresses. One thing that should be considered when choosing a spring bed for heavy people is to look for coils that are specially designed to hold weight. Another recommendation for overweight people is air beds. Air beds allow the user to increase of decrease the air in the bed in order to adjust the firmness.

In choosing the correct mattress for overweight people, it is important to ask the sales person or the retailer of the specifications of the mattress so that you will know if the mattress will suit your needs. Also, not all expensive mattresses mean that they're of better quality. Compare prices and try lying down on the mattress before purchasing it. They say sleeping is a luxury, but it benefits us health wise when we get a good nights sleep. Foam mattress, spring bed or air bed, it all boils down to comfort and durability when choosing the right kind of bed.

Can A Memory Mattress Prevent Sleep Deprivation?

2009-06-19T02:06:00.004-07:00

If you find yourself tossing and turning in bed the whole night without being able to sleep, then you might be suffering from sleep deprivation. This can be an irritating situation as you'll no doubt be sleepy the whole of the next day and unable to concentrate at work. Have you ever thought about the role the mattress you're using plays in your being unable to sleep easily? The truth is that sometimes just making your bed a little bit more comfortable to sleep in can solve many sleeping problems. Perhaps you should think about switching to a more comfortable mattress. The good news is that through advancements in technology, material called memory foam has been developed and is now a popular material for use in mattresses. I'm sure you're excited to know just how memory foam mattresses can prevent sleep deprivation.

How was memory foam invented and used in mattresses?

You could really call the invention of memory foam high tech as it was the United States' own NASA that developed the material for use by its astronauts in their space shuttles. They were planning to create a material that could make astronauts more comfortable in the very stressful periods of a space shuttle launch.

Next, the material was tried for use by hospital patients. Because some of these patients stayed in bed for very long periods of time, even extending to months or years, they experienced great stresses on their bodies. Circulation would sometimes get cut off because of the pressures their joints exerted against the bed and this would cause the patients irritations and injuries. Because of memory foam's ability to conform to the body's contours, the material was found useful in preventing these patients from suffering these injuries. Memory foam was also found to be very comfortable and the patients slept soundly on their beds. When production costs for memory foam became low enough, mattress makers jumped at the chance to start using it on their mattresses.

What are the advantages of memory foam mattresses?

Mattresses made from memory foam are actually denser than those made from other foams. When a person lies on a mattress made out of memory foam, the heat from his body affects the foam such that the warmer areas become less dense and then sink. This makes the memory foam adjust to the contours of the person's own body. This is the main way how memory foam mattresses can prevent sleep deprivation, by cradling a person's body in such a comfortable manner, the person does not have to adjust his position as often as he would on other mattresses.

Another important way how memory foam mattresses can prevent sleep deprivation is by giving proper support to the neck and vertebrae of the person sleeping on it. This ensures that the person sleeping on it won't be suffering from a stiff neck or an aching back. In colder climates, the memory foam mattress would also retain more heat making the sleeping experience of a person more relaxing.

King Foam Mattress

2009-06-19T02:05:00.001-07:00

Nowadays, more and more people want to improve the quality of their nights because they have to recover from the daily constraints: stress, physical aches, ... There are different ways to get better nights and one of the most efficient is to invest in a king foam mattress.

There are 3 main reasons that makes such a mattress a great investment to consider to improve the quality of nights:

1/ A king size bed measures up to 76"x80" (or 198 x 203 cm). Provided you have enough space in your bedroom, it gives enough space for 2 people to sleep without having to worry about the lack of space, even for tossing and turning people.

2/ Compared to a traditional mattress, a foam mattress adjusts to your body and relieves the pressure points of your body. Pressure points are the parts of your body where the weight is absorbed on other mattresses. A foam mattress eliminates this problem because it provides a consistent support helping distributing the weight of your body across the bed, allowing you to rest your whole body.

3/ The third advantage of a king foam mattress is its ability to adjust to your body temperature. The foam material will absorb the heat from your body and soften. It is for example very convenient in case of an injury or extra fever because the body will normally be fevered and the mattress will respond with extra softness. However, some low quality foam mattress could become too hot. It is important to choose a mattress that is designed with an air exchange system to overcome this problem.

All these reasons make the purchase of a king foam mattress a great decision to improve the quality of nights. However, the quality of the mattress must be seriously assessed before buying a bed that will have a direct impact on your quality of life for the next years.

This length is too short for some adults. Full size mattress is more appropriate for a single person only if he is less than 5 feet 5 inches tall. Full size or twin mattresses are increasingly used for teenage bedrooms. Queen size mattresses are 60 inches wide and around 80 inches long.

Allergy Mattress Covers

2009-06-19T02:03:00.001-07:00

People who suffer from allergies can find it hard to get sleep. They often suffer frequent bouts of sneezing, runny nose, and itching that can keep them up all night long. To make it worst, the bed which is supposed to be the most restful place in the house can contain a lot of allergens that can trigger allergic reactions. Those who are prone to allergies can suffer from itchy skin, hay fever and other allergic symptoms because of the dust, pollen, and even dust mites that are present in their beds. If you are allergic to a lot of things, then you can benefit from an allergy mattress cover that will help you to get the rest that you need.

However, you should know that not every allergy mattress cover will suit your needs. A hypoallergenic mattress cover has to be very well made if it is to be effective. It has to be produced in a completely sterile factory with materials that will not irritate the skin and aggravate allergies themselves. It should also be designed to have holes that are small enough to prevent the infestation of dust mites. An allergy mattress cover can help keep you away from allergens and help you get enough sleep, but it will not make all of your allergies go away.

In general, an allergy mattress cover only reduces your exposure to contaminants that may have seeped into your bed. This means that you have to take certain actions to keep your exposure to allergens at a minimum, in addition to your allergy mattress cover. A hypoallergenic mattress cover is almost useless in dealing with airborne dust, mold, fungus and pollen.

You also have to keep your house clean if you want to reduce your exposure to allergens. You also need to change your bedding frequently, even if you have an allergy mattress cover. It would also help if you can keep your floor and all surfaces in your house clean, and ensure that your air intake is kept in tip top shape. Not many people realize that allergies can be caused by furnace contamination or by things leaking in to the air ducts leading up to their houses. Nevertheless, an allergy mattress cover can help reduce your allergic reactions and help you get the sleep that you need.

Consider Latex Mattresses

2009-06-19T02:02:00.001-07:00

Perhaps the least known and most desirable traits of a latex mattress is that most of them are considered to be hypo-allergenic. They are not prone to absorbing dust, pollen, or dust from the air, to begin with, and to complete the security latex is a natural product without the chemicals allergies some people experience with other types of memory foam. For the millions of people who suffer from severe allergies, this is a great reason why the latex mattress is the best sleep solution.

What is well known about latex mattresses are their ability to return to their factory shape day after day for years without suffering from the sagging that may be experienced with innerspring mattresses. The reason for this is really a simple one, and has to do with the basic nature of the two. Where an innerspring mattress uses the coils to fill out the mattress and provide support, a latex foam mattress is composed of millions of tiny "bubbles" which are "inflated" in their natural state. When pressure is applied, the bubbles deflate, and then expand again when the weight has been removed.

There is one common complaint associated with a natural latex mattress, however. Many people are troubled by faster, warmer metabolisms during their sleep period, which results in excess body heat. A latex mattress is not very efficient at heat removal, for the same reason it retains its shape for a longer period. As the bubbles are compressed, the actual material heats up deeper into the mattress, where a traditional innerspring mattress has open air space that allows heat dissipation, preventing many cases of what are commonly referred to as "night sweats."

A synthetic latex mattress is likely to be less expensive than a natural latex mattress, but it also sacrifices much of the hypo-allergenic properties as well. The synthetic variety is a product of space research, and was originally developed in part by NASA. The movement reduction properties are more pronounced in the synthetic type as well, making convenience and health issues a possible trade-off for those comparing foam mattresses.

For the most part, latex mattresses are recognized for their ability to more completely shape itself around the body, providing support proportionately to the weight being applied. Through the use of a cotton mattress topper, the problem with body heat accumulation can even be solved, which eliminates most complaints associated with a latex mattress, and making one a choice definitely worth consideration.

Memory Foam Toppers

2009-06-19T02:01:00.002-07:00

Mattress Toppers - or more specifically - Memory Foam mattress toppers, might be all you need to give an aging or uncomfortable bed that extra bit of cushioning and support. Mattress toppers are also ideal for people who have mistakenly bought a bed that is too firm, and need something to help soften the feel of the bed.

Thankfully, mattress toppers are inexpensive and for that reason are becoming very popular recession solutions where a new mattress would be stretching your budget further than you're happy with.

If you're not a fan of memory foam, mattress toppers can also be purchased in wool, latex and cashmere, as well as combination toppers that are hypo-allergenic. In most cases, these alternate materials are combined with memory foam to form a dual-layer mattress topper.

As with most things in life, the quality of mattress topper will be determined by the price and you should consider spending a little more on a high quality topper that will last for years to come.

Some of the health problems memory foam mattress toppers can help solve are:

Arthritis - Because memory foam absorbs some of the pressure caused by the tension of the mattress' spring unit, the body is less susceptible to arthritic discomfort.

Headaches - Tension headaches are often caused by pressure on the neck muscles. Adding a memory foam topper to a mattress can help reduce the amount of pressure on the neck and head area and reduce the chances of waking with a tension headache.

Neck pain and back pain - While it is most likely your pillow that is the cause of back or neck pain, people who sleep on poor quality or overly firm mattresses are more likely to develop back and neck pain. Adding a memory foam mattress topper to the bed can help to soften the sleeping surface and reduce this pressure on the neck and back areas.

Poor circulation - Orthopedic mattresses are usually much firmer than conventional medium tension mattresses. The weight of an adult body on a firm spring unit can cause swollen extremities due to poor circulation. Adding a matress topper could provide a body-molding in-between layer to help stimulate circulation.

Stress - People suffering from stress are often likely to toss and turn while sleeping, leading to them waking in the morning feeling unrested and more stressed. Memory foam molds to the body's contour, reducing the chances of tossing and turning and encouraging a more peaceful night's sleep.

The author of the piece had bought a memory foam mattress for his home and upon sleep on it he realised that he could benefit from one in his camper van -- wanting to save on weight and space the author chose a mattress topper -- there was a lot of information and prices to take in...

If you have a friend or relative who suddenly wants to spend the night at your place or just needs a place to stay in for a while, then you can offer the air bed for him or her to sleep on. And if you are the one who is going to a sleep over and you want a sure spot to rest your tired self on, then you can easily pack up your bed and just use that instead of an uncomfortable sleeping bag.

Memory Foam Mattress, Bed & Topper

2009-06-19T01:59:00.001-07:00

The application of visco elastic memory foam products in the bedding industry has seen a significant change in the types of beds and mattresses that we sleep on.

Twenty years ago the common view was that a good bed offering support and orthopedic advantages should be firm if not hard. That view has however changed and the advent of memory foam is the main reason why.

The importance of visco elastic foam

Visco elastic foam differs from springs in that is has a natural ability to shape and wrap itself around any weighty object placed upon it. Because of this it is highly effective at contouring itself around the natural shape of a human body and, in doing so, it supports the body in its most natural position.

Put simply, a memory foam bed or mattress adapts itself to the shape of any individual lying upon it and it shapes itself around their unique curves and bumps. It also deflects proportionately based on the varying weights of the different limbs and parts of the torso and this means that it supports the body in a balanced way, i.e. without any pressure points.

The summation of all of this is that a memory foam bed, mattress or topper should provide the most balanced and "evenly distributed" spread of body weight during sleep. Naturally this helps good sleep and importantly reduces "significantly" the number of times that a sleeping person turns, moves and wakes up whilst in bed. Achieving this results in a better quality of sleep and consequently a more rested and invigorated feeling the following morning.

Memory foam bedding products

There are a number of bedding products that use visco elastic foam and all are items that we lay upon. The obvious ones are the bed and mattress, however comfort toppers and pillows are very popular and they can be used to add comfort to existing bedroom furniture.

Toppers using memory foam make perfect additions to beds composed of springs or very firm mattresses, and they provide an extra level of comfort and body contouring. These visco elastic toppers can convert a traditional hard sleeping surface into a much softer, pliable and supportive one and at a fraction of the cost of a new bed.

Pillows are also important and again visco foam adapts and shapes itself to the head of anyone resting upon it. This means that it offers superior head and neck support and keeps the back in an ideal position during all stages of sleep.

What to buy

Some people like memory foam beds whilst others prefer spring based systems, so it is important to think carefully about the available options before buying a new bed/mattress.

One way of checking out a memory foam sleeping surface is to buy a foam mattress topper and place it on top of the mattress that you already have. These toppers, see http://www.foammattresstopper.org for some examples, are comparatively cheap and they avoid the cost of buying a complete bedding set.

You can also look at some other bedding constructions that offer similar properties and these include latex foam, water beds and the latest gel mattresses. You can find out more about what they are and how they work at http://www.orthopaedicmattress.net/mattresstypes.html

Buy The Right Mattress

2009-06-19T01:58:00.002-07:00

Buying the right mattress is important to ensure it best supports your body and gives you a good night's sleep. If you are buying a bed with a partner you should arrange to shop together to ensure you are both happy with the feel of the mattress and meets both your requirements. You should set yourselves enough time to ensure you have enough time to try out the beds properly. Since we spend a third of our life in bed it is important that we are comfortable here. The majority of people will spend no more than two minutes trying out a bed; you should spend at least ten minutes to properly check whether it is comfortable and right for you.

When you go to try a mattress wear comfortable clothes and take off your outer clothes such as coat and shoes so you can see how it will feel were you to have this mattress at home. Adopt your normal sleeping position, make sure you lie on your back as well as your side as most people will move to get comfortable during the night and may find a different sleeping style with a new mattress.

You will have to judge for yourself whether the mattress suits you however to have a comfortable mattress do look for one that supports your body properly which will vary depending on height, build, weight and general sleeping position. Normally a heavier person will need a firmer tension mattress. The overall aim is have a good posture, if the bed is too soft the body will slouch leading to back pain, too hard and it will cause discomfort. Mattress should mould to your body shape. When lying on your side your spine should be horizontal and you should be able to easily turn.

Size does matter when it comes to choosing the size of the mattress. If you share a bed with a partner you should be able to lie side to side with your arms behind your head and your arms out without touching. If a partner is taller than six feet they will likely need a longer than standard mattress, there should always be four inches of space left at the bottom of the bed.

Back Pain & Bad Mattress

2009-06-19T01:58:00.001-07:00

Have you been suffered from chronic back pain for long? You may wonder what would be the main reason of your symptoms. Of course, there are many causes possible. One of them is something to do with bedding. Why? Everybody spends 6 to 10 hours in bed, it means approximately a third of life! Then, when someone is suffering from back pain, the first question he would have to ask is: what is the condition of my bedding, of my mattress? My bedding would be responsible from my backache?

What Is a Good Mattress?

Have you ever heard people say: "You have back problems? Then, sleep on the floor; it is good for your column!"? Is it true? No! New research shows that it is a great error to sleep on a firm mattress. Why? A study in Spain has demonstrated that almost 50% of people with chronic lower-back pain who used to sleep on firm mattress had improved a lot after 3 month sleeping on a new spring mattress.

What You Must Do

If you are suffering from chronic back pain, check your mattress and make sure you have a medium-firm mattress and not a firm one! A medium-firm mattress helps to balance the different forces exerted by the body. Additionally, a medium-firm mattress can properly sustain and ease the bony lumbar spine. The problem with a soft mattress is that your body is lying too limply on the bed and has little or no support on your vertebral column.

Best Position to Sleep

Try not to sleep on your stomach! This position stresses too much several disks of your spine. Sleep on your back (it helps to keep your natural alignment) or on your side!

Conclusion

Like anybody else, you have your own sleeping habits. But, research studies indicate that sleeping on a medium-firm mattress can certainly help you with your health. Then, why not attempt to change both your bedding and the way you sleep? Additionally, in order to cure quickly and permanently your chronic back pain, you must correct your spine alignment.

NASA Technology Mattress

2009-06-19T01:57:00.003-07:00

Memory foam mattresses have increased in popularity over recent years in the UK, as many people of all ages, shapes and sizes have started to enjoy the benefits they offer.

Memory foam was developed as part of the NASA space program, back when it was known only as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. NASA had grand plans for the foam, its main purpose being to ensure that the astronauts were kept as comfortable as possible whilst enduring the high levels of g-force that impact their bodies during take-off and re-entry.

This space age foam was then used in hospitals to help patients sleep who had bed sores, as well as by vets treating race horses with damaged limbs. The memory foam keeping the animal in a still, supported position allowing for better blood circulation and faster healing.

You may not be planning a trip into space anytime soon or have a thoroughbred racehorse with a sore leg, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from the use of memory foam and all that hard work put in by the space gurus in Houston. The other benefit on offer here is much more important and valuable... a good night's sleep!

Sleep is often sacrificed for grabbing those extra few hours to finish a college assignment , complete that end of year report for your boss, or to stay and have one more drink after a good meal.

Many people however, have sleepless nights due to bad backs, pains in their neck or legs and in some cases they just can't get comfortable, tossing and turning, pulling the duvet one way then the other, putting their arms on their head, then under the pillow amongst many other weird and wonderful positions. If this describes your 'sleeping' pattern, then a good quality memory foam mattress could be the answer to your (and your partners) prayers.

5 reasons why Memory foam mattresses are great:

1. They stop tossing and turning - they relieve the pressure on pressure points in your body, as you settle on the foam you will feel as if you are floating as it adapts to your exact body shape.

2. While you are asleep and dreaming of that impending lottery win, your memory foam mattress will be actively changing to the shape of your body as you move naturally during sleep. This is what keeps you in the land of nod and ensures you get an uninterrupted night's sleep.

3. They help reduce pain - memory foam mattresses provide excellent support for your neck and spine. Keeping these aligned properly means you will be able to lie comfortably making it easier to fall off to sleep.

4. They last longer than normal mattresses as dust mites and parasites hate them and don't like the taste.

5. They were invented by NASA - how many of your friends sleep on space age technology? (You'll be able to spot the ones who don't; they usually have bags under their eyes and an energy drink in their left hand).

If you have trouble sleeping due to aching joints, arthritis or postural problems a memory foam mattress should help towards achieving a good night's sleep. Unfortunately it is not known (yet!) for reducing snoring, but who knows, maybe NASA are working on it?

Don't Buy A Cheap Mattress

2009-06-19T01:57:00.001-07:00

One of the things that's most overlooked when buying things for your home is when you're choosing a mattress. A lot of people tend to just buy the first thing they see and they don't consider how long they actually spend in their beds. Did you know that we spend about a third of our lives in bed?

Well, now you do and now you may consider a few more things when choosing your mattress. A lot of people buy a whole new bed but this isn't always necessary. You can buy mattresses that are suitable for any kind of base and this will allow you to replace just your mattress rather than your entire bed.

It also works the other way around; you can buy a new base for your bed and keep your mattress if you're happy with the current quality of it. However, most of the time, it's perfectly normal for people to buy a whole new bed and this can get expensive.

There are a variety of things you should think about if you're planning on buying a new mattress for your bed. Firstly, you should consider you budget - it can sometimes be hard to work out how much you should spend. It's a good idea to do some price comparison and have a good look around online to find prices that you can look at to figure out a reasonable and realistic budget.

Most of the time, you would immediately think of stores like Dreams, Ikea and Argos to buy your new products but you may also want to consider smaller online stores where you can sometimes get better deals. A lot of the time, online stores will offer cheaper prices and sometimes even free delivery.

As this sort of purchase is a large item you will probably want to find somewhere that offers free delivery - or at least a reasonable delivery charge. When buying online that's the only downside - delivery charges. However, there are a lot of good reasons to shop online such as better deals.

Buying a mattress is something that you should take your time with, you need to consider the options available and what options are going to be best for your needs. For example, you can choose from memory foam, pocket springs and various other types of mattresses.

You'll have to do a bit of research into what the different kinds offer and whether or not you need these items. Memory foam mattresses are usually more expensive than ordinary mattresses and this is why it's a good idea to consider whether or not you really need something like this. Not all mattresses will suit everyone so remember this when you're shopping.

You can also buy toppers for your mattress, so you may not need to spend too much on the actual mattress itself. Overall, as long as you do your research and you look into the options available, you should find that buying something like this for your home is an easy and exciting task to undertake.

Writer Jade N Marsh discusses choosing a mattress for your house. http://www.mattressesworld.co.uk has fantastic information on choosing a mattress, you'll certainly be able to purchase what you require.

Health Benefits Of Memory Foam Mattress

2009-06-19T01:52:00.001-07:00

What you sleep on can have a huge impact on your health, happiness and tiredness levels. What is memory foam and how can it help? It is constructed from a special material and is also springless which is where the health benefits come in. High Density foam is a slow recovery material that responds to the body heat of a person sleeping and molds to that persons body shape. So the mattress learns the shape of your body and adapts to accommodate it regardless of a persons weight. This can help to spread weight and can even reduce the pressure put on joints. In turn this can help you get a more relaxing and beneficial sleep without the slow encroach of springs getting closer to the surface of the mattress.

What is high density memory foam? The foam used in these mattresses was originally developed by NASA to help relieve pressure on astronauts bodies during space flights. Who says nothing good comes form the space program. The material was introduced to the medical community where it has been highly commended for its therapeutic strengths. The technology to create memory foam was released to public markets in 1990 and ever since has seen a steady increase of sales for mattress sellers.

What benefits can memory foam provide? Sleeping on a memory foam mattress can reduce headaches by relieving stress and pressure put on the neck while sleeping. Hip pain can be brought on by a bad sleeping posture or by an excessive amount of pressure being put on joints. A common cause of back pain is having your spine pushed into an unnatural position by a spring mattress. A memory foam mattress can reduce unnatural sleeping positions and relieve the pressure by allowing certain parts of the body to push into the mattress and others not to. This makes it ideal for the medical profession but also highly beneficial for anyone trying to get some decent kip.

Tempur Mattress

2009-06-02T02:03:00.001-07:00

Do you wake up feeling your neck is stiff and sore? Do you snore when you sleep? Do you feel tired in the morning even though you have 8 hours sleep? If it describes you, your bed and/or pillow may be the cause of the problem.

Sleeping on too soft or too hard a mattress or pillow can actually hurt you more than you think. The symptoms of stiff necks, body aching, tiredness are all due to the mattress being too soft or too hard. Usually, this is caused by overuse of the mattress and it loses its elasticity over time.

If this is happening to you, why not try tempurpedic mattresses or pillows? Tempurpedic is the Swedish manufacturer for its line of tempurpedic products. Their tempurpedic mattress and pillows have helped many people get a good night’s sleep.

The distinct advantage of tempurpedic mattresses over other mattresses is that it can conform to your body contour so there is no pressure points building on your body when you sleep. It provides maximum support to your whole body when you are sleeping.

Tempurpedic mattresses also retain their shape better and longer due to the visco-elastic properties. It’s due to the way the memory foam is manufactured that gives it such properties. Tempurpedic has a 10 year warranty for their products.

Tempurpedic products also have orthopedic properties and are suitable for people who suffer from joint pains and injuries. In fact, it was first used by hospitals for their orthopedic patients.

Tempurpedic mattresses are also temperature sensitive and will conform to your body temperature when you lie on it. You’ll get that warm, cuddly feeling when you sleep in a tempurpedic mattress. However, some people have also complained that it gets too warm when you are lying down for a long period of time. If this is so, you can put a mattress topper to make it more comfortable.

Although tempurpedic mattresses and pillows cost slightly more than other mattresses, it has several benefits that no other mattresses have. Ultimately, we spend nearly one-third of our lives sleeping; it is definitely worth it to get a more comfortable mattress so you get a good night sleep.

Abolish Back Pain

2009-06-02T02:02:00.001-07:00

There is nothing more debilitating than back pain, especially when compounded with lack of sleep, and it's estimated that 50% of people suffer from various degrees of back pain sometime in their life. Many sufferers of back pain can benefit enormously by sleeping on the right mattress, but which one? Until now there was no set solution, but with the advent of memory foam mattresses, many sufferers of back pain are finally getting their first good night's sleep.

Memory foam mattresses are made from a visco-elastic material that was originally developed by NASA. The first company to see the benefits that this new compound offered the sleeper was a small Danish company called Tempur-Pedic. The company experimented and developed this new compound and soon the Tempur Pedic mattress was born. Tempur-Pedic carried out various clinical trials and soon found that memory foam mattresses - as they were soon called - offered support that was vastly superior to conventional mattresses.

Basically, a memory foam mattress is totally different from conventional mattresses. A memory foam mattress, as manufactured by Tempur-Pedic, consists of a solid block of visco-elastic material; there is no ticking, coils or frame. A memory foam mattress responds to heat and body pressure to mould itself to the exact shape of the sleeper's body. This means that weight is distributed evenly and the correct amount of support is given to each part of the body. A memory foam mattress delivers orthopedically correct alignment of your neck and spine.

Independent research, carried out by the Institution for Clinical & Physiological Research at the Lillhagen Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, found that the vast majority of the 23,000 patients studied suffered less pain when sleeping on a Tempur-Pedic mattress and experienced greatly enhanced and deeper sleep. And, to date, over 30,000 medical doctors, chiropractors, physiotherapists and osteopaths world-wide recommend the TEMPUR Mattress and Neck Pillow for those who suffer from back pain.

Other mattress manufacturers soon woke up - pardon the pun - to the amazing benefits of memory foam mattresses. Needless to say they now offer their own version.

The TrueForm Posturepedic mattress by Sealy uses memory foam, and is designed to ensure the easing of pressure points to alleviate back pain. The Sealy TrueForm is a proprietary combination of multilayered memory foam.

The International Touch is the memory foam mattress made by Serta. This mattress uses Serta's patented KoolComfort technology to ensure that the mattress remains cool when in use. It also incorporates a fiber layer to wick away moisture that helps regulate body temperature. This layer is non-allergenic. Finally, Serta claim that their memory foam mattress is up to 30% than their rivals - whether it's as good is debatable.

Another of the big players, Jamison, also makes a memory foam mattress. The Jamison Omalon and Visco Foam mattress. Jamison claim that the manufacturing process of their version of a memory foam mattress 'densifies' the cells contained with the structure of the visco-elastic material, thereby giving more support and durability.

To answer; what is the best mattress for back pain is easy: a memory foam mattress. However, memory foam isn't to everyone's liking. Memory foam lacks the 'springiness' of traditional mattresses. A memory foam mattress feels quite firm initially, before it gradually moulds itself to the shape of the sleeper's body. Sleeping on a memory foam mattress can take a couple of weeks to get use to.

Visco-elastic memory foam mattresses haven't been on the market all that long, but many consumers are giving memory foam mattresses excellent reviews. And there is no doubt that memory foam mattresses are proving a popular choice for those who suffer from back pain. As to which is the best brand of memory foam mattress, that's not so easy. Serta, Sealy and Jamison make fine mattresses; both conventional and memory foam, but to my mind, the original memory foam mattress is still the best; the Tempur-Pedic. But don't take my word for it, go and try them out for yourself.

Tempurpedic Mattress Pad

2009-06-02T02:01:00.001-07:00

Tempurpedic mattress pad are usually 1 to 3 inches thick and made from patented visco-elastic memory foam. Lately however, there have been various other forms of mattress pad released in market. Here are some examples of the most popular types.

1. Egg Crate

2. Latex

Bedding Mattress

2009-01-19T10:19:00.000-08:00

Choosing the right bedding mattress can be tricky. There are many different styles, designs and brands available. Luckily for you, we're hear to give you a helping hand...

What Mattresses Are Out There?

The market for bed mattresses is huge. The best way to begin looking into mattresses is to break them down into categories such as type, size or design. Here are just a few examples:

Mattress Type

-Foam Mattress
-Bedding Mattress
-Memory Foam Mattress
-Air Mattress
-Water Mattress
-Mattress Topper

Mattress Size

-King Mattress
-Double Mattress
-Grande Mattress
-Memory Foam Mattress Single

Mattress Design

-Futon Mattress
-Spring Mattress
-Comfort Mattress
-Firm Mattress
-Soft Mattress

As you can see...quite a large selection. So the first thing to do before you go out buying a mattress, is to pick a type, size and design. That way you are more likely to find exactly what you are looking for, and not come home disappointed.

If you are looking to totally change your current bed and mattress for something newer and a bit more up market, some manufacturers like Tempurpedic offer a tempur bed, where you buy a mattress and get the absolute correct bed frame to support it. They did make it after all. This is really the way to go if you want to ensure you're getting the best quality.

Specialist Mattresses

If you're looking to buy a mattress for a specific reason, for example to relieve back or joint pain, there are a few options available to you. Here are just a few recommended brands:

Tempurpedic Mattresses (The absolute Best)

Hypnos mattress

Natural mattress (Made from natural materials)

The visco elastic foam in Tempura mattresses moulds itself to your body shape, therby supporting your body and relieving pressure on joints. It's space age material too...designed and developed by NASA. You'll never have slept better!

Going Out To Buy A Mattress

By now you will have chosen a type, size and design of bedding mattress, and are ready to go out looking, and potentially buy one.

When you walk into the shop, don't be overwhelmed by the amount of mattresses around...these display models are there to test, and for impulse buys from individuals who have not done their homework previously.

Walk up the store assistant and explain what you are looking for, and then asked to be shown what they have in stock. If they are good they will take you straight there and not try to blindside you with something else.

So there it is infront of you...a mattress you might be taking home. Explore every detail.

-Does it look right?
-Does it smell ok?
-Can you picture it in your bedroom?

The most important thing to do here is (and we can't stress this enough) CLIMB ON. You must always TRY BEFORE YOU BUY.

The amount of people that get a mattress home only to find it's not the right one is unbelievable. If the assistant says you can't get on, give him an earfull or walk out. Afterall, they aren't the ones who will be using it! When you're on there don't just lay back and relax the whole time. Remember when you were a kid and jumped up and down on your bed? Do that a bit, just not as obviously...this will test if the mattress is the right build quality for you. Some other things to be aware of are:

-Is it comfy?
-Does it provide you with enough support?
-Is it the right size? (Hopefully, but if your feet stick off the end go for the next size up)

So if you buy the mattress there and then, make sure you get a good price...and make sure you get at least a 5 year guarentee. Some manufacturers will even give you a lifetime guarentee!

Alternatively, you could do the above and find the exact mattress you want and then go home and look online for some cheaper deals. It's common for online retailers to do great deals on bedding mattresses and pillows, much cheaper than stores. A great place to start looking is Amazon.com

Getting Your Mattress Home

If the store is good, you'll probably get a free home delivery, or at least discounted. Don't let the store push you around here...tell them you want it delivered exactly when you want it delivered. Got a busy schedule? Well ask them to hang on to it for a few days. If they turn round and say they can deliver it on the day, even better!

Your bedding mattress should be delivered in a protective box or plastic sheet. If it's not, ask why. You havn't spend all that money only for it to be wrecked in a delivery van. Furthermore, check the mattress before you accept it. If it has any marking or damage at all...reject it! Phone the store and ask for a replacement to be sent immediately. You're not here to buy sub standard goods afterall.

Put the mattress on your (new) bed and make sure it fits ok. Climb aboard again just to make sure. Hopefully it will be 100% perfect and there will be no problems...but if there are better to find them earlier than later!

The final thing to do is to dress the mattress, and fall asleep on it. Relaxation to the max. Maybe you could even purchase some relaxing music
to aid your restful sleep.
