Memory Foam Tips

    Buying Guide for Density Confusion

    So you want to purchase your memory foam and yet are getting a little confused with all the talk of density and depth, with so many various reports on what density is best, the lower density the higher density, it is no wonder you are feeling confused.

    Though the density of memory foam could have an impact on the support you want to get from it, more so if you are purchasing memory foam for health benefits there is a rough guide to assist you.

    On average most consumers should be looking for memory foam with a density of 3 - 4 lbs to provide enough support and comfort to your body and still have high durability. There is no proven evidence that the higher the density, the better the quality or similarly the lower the density the durability will be affected.

    Many people opt for the medium density of 3 - 4 lbs as they still get the support, the comfort they need but without too much firmness that can make it slightly more difficult to move around.

    Unfortunately you are going to find many manufacturers telling you many different stories, but there are a lot of reviews on the internet for the density of memory foam.

    Look online and see what other consumers have said with similar health problems and what density they have preferred, as we know what works for some may not work for others but based on what others report may assist with knowing which density will work for you and put a little of your confusion to one side.

1 out of 5 stars From perfect to perfectly terrible   September 7, 2010
alex d (Oakland, CA)
I've had this Mattress for a little less than a year (shipped Sept 2009). The Mattress has been in my NY area apartment and used perhaps 20 weeks during the last year. While I really liked the Mattress when it first showed up, over the last year, the foam has become much less firm, to the point where the Mattress is uncomfortable and is bothering my back.

5 out of 5 stars Best mattress I ever bought.   August 18, 2010
Xabier Granja (Chicago, IL)
For the price, I thought this was a joke. I expected a horrible mattress. Boy was I wrong. This is undoubtedly the BEST mattress I've ever bought, for the best price I've ever seen. It's insultingly comfortable and I sleep on it like I've never slept in any other mattress.

Whatever new bed I buy in the future, I'll always get one of these, without a doubt. Seriously, it's excellent.

We received the queen size as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago. We liked it so much, we purchased 2 of these for our preteen and teen boys. They love them. These mattresses are far more comfortable than the spring mattresses they replaced. My teenager used to wake up with backaches every morning, not anymore.

The foam smell is a little strong but does go away with time. We purchased waterproof, allergy barrier mattress protectors that encase the entire mattress to protect them and the smell was blocked also.

Highly recommend for growing children and anyone who wakes with back pain. Great value at a great price.



4 out of 5 stars Great mattress for the money!   June 12, 2010

I ordered this mattress for my 20 year old son who returns home from college for holidays and summers. I aired it out for a few days prior to his arrival since I had read on some of the reviews that there may be an odor to it. This may have done the trick, because he did not detect such an odor and he loves his mattress and the support it provides. Good product for the money!
