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.

5 out of 5 stars In a word...Awesome!   September 3, 2010
Vickie J Kahkesh (Edmond, Oklahoma United States)
I love the idea of this being a more "green" mattress than other versions. The odor disappeared after one day. It is firm, with give in all the right places. I have alot of hip pain and the pressure of my inner spring mattress made me toss and turn all night, but not with this mattress. I really love it!


5 out of 5 stars Indistinguishable from the major national brand.   August 22, 2010

5 out of 5 found this review helpful

OK. I don't write reviews. But I figured that, in the confusing, sometimes scam-ridden, world of mattresses, folks need to know about this one. 10" memory foam Foamex twin mattress. Here's the short version: product is exactly what it claims to be; it's firm but not excessively so; it's indistinguishable from the Tempurpedic Cloud; cost 1/4 of same; delivered in 4 days from Amazon with free shipping; wrapped in 4 layers of plastic, squashed to a fraction of it's open size; completely restored and 95% "de-odored" in 24 hours; slept on it the next night, about 36 hours after opening. Loved it. Couldn't be happier. Now, here's the long version: When I was a kid I had an ordinary foam mattress. I don't know whatever happened to it but I was left with the memory that I had really liked it. Because those things had been made with chlorofluorocarbons, they quit making them for many years and I could never find another one. Then a few years ago I started hearing about this "NASA-Developed" "space-age" visco-elastic stuff from Tempurpedic. Sounded like a lot of hype. Sent for a sample and information and, wow!, did THAT ever open the flood gates! Shades of AOL! I started receiving snail mail at least once per week and emails daily. Not the kind of marketing behavior that motivated me to buy ANYTHING from them! But I was, nevertheless, interested in the idea since I had liked the foam bed that I had so many years ago. So, about 6 months ago when it was time to replace our 10 year old conventional bed, I started doing a little bit more in-depth research: web, magazines, visiting mattress stores (including the trendy boutique Tempurpedic stores in malls), mattress stores, warehouses, everything, for 6 months. Here's what I found: Tempurpedic is the original, and, as such, sets the standard. Tempurpedic is absurdly overpriced and simply will not negotiate on price. If you don't care about price, you won't go wrong with them. Up to nearly 3 grand for a twin mattress (box foundation extra)! Wow again. (In all fairness, their "original" twin is down to $700) But I really did like the beds. I came to learn that mattresses have among the highest margins of most any home product. Approximately 60% or more. What that means is that for a bed that costs, for example, $1,000, it wholesaled for only $400, giving a $600 profit. Ever been to one of those little boutique mattress stores in a mall and wondered how they could possibly stay in business when only two or three folks per hour drift in and maybe only one of them actually buy? Well, there you go. At that rate, the store could make over $8,000 per 14 hour day with only a single sale per hour! Now you know why they're always on sale. Always! Found that most major manufacturers are now offering some version of a memory-foam bed. I also found that the mattress manufacturers will assign different names for their "warehouse" buyers for the same product to prevent accurate cost comparison. Really gets to be a problem. Discovered that there are only a handful of American manufacturers of the memory foam. Foamex is one. Many cheaper mattresses are manufactured in China and their recent manufacturing track history in general has been spotty at best. So look for American made. No guarantee, but the odds are better. The original Tempurpedic was a "slow-return" foam that took a couple of seconds to reform after pressure release, leaving "pockets" behind that you had to kind of climb up out of. Also, some had complained that they retained too much heat. They (or someone) came up with a "fast-return" foam with much better ventilation that they call the "Cloud," or "TempurCloud." A real improvement. And that's what you're getting with this Foamex mattress: 3 inches worth of fast-return memory-foam over a 7", relatively firm, conventional foam substrate (make no mistake, this "stacking" of memory foam over conventional foam is exactly what Tempurpedic, and everyone else, does - there are no 10" memory foam beds where all 10" are memory foam). And it's indistinguishable from the Tempurpedic Cloud," which is now their best seller. About $1,800 for a "TempurCloud" twin (11") mattress vs. $445 for the Foamex twin (10") mattress from Amazon, with free shipping from both. I have no idea if Foamex is the foam provider for Tempurpedic but it wouldn't surprise me. The bottom line here is your backside won't be able to tell the difference, but your wallet sure will. Oh yeah, about "foundations," what used to be "box-springs." These things are not your grandmother's actual boxes with real springs in them. They are now empty boxes, period. A sheet of plywood would do the same thing. Go for cheap (provided it's not so cheap that it'll collapse when you jump on it) and for the height (thickness) that you need to put the bed surface where you want it. In most cases, buying a cheap box from a discounter will be less than the one you'll buy with a "matched" set. Just check and be sure. The bottom line here is that there's no magic to a "box-spring" "foundation." It's a box. Period. (And in case you're wondering, my wife doesn't like the foam - it's really a love it or hate it kind of thing - so we now each have twins pushed together to equal a king. Works for us. We sleep together but we each have the mattresses we each like best.). So,there you have it: 6 months of sometimes painful research packed into this excessively long review. Glad I won't have to go through this process again for another 10 years. I need a nap.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent mattress & excellent price   August 18, 2010
T. Hutchko (Allentown, PA United States)
This mattress is wonderful. It is a quality 'memory foam' mattress for a great price. The "chemical smell" is pretty rough when you first unpack it, but it dissipates quickly if aired out. Overall, thrilled with the mattress and the price.


5 out of 5 stars Really good mattress. Love it.   August 8, 2010
J. Cash
Very comfortable sleep. First time I am sleeping the whole night without getting up. The smell took a bit longer to go away (about 3 weeks) and had to air the room. But now I don't notice it. Great buy.


5 out of 5 stars Great value for the price.   July 4, 2010
Judy C. Wehner (Toledo, OH United States)
This mattress has the look and feel of mattresses costing $1000 more. A real value for anyone looking for a memory foam mattress.
