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 Perfect   August 30, 2010
K. Staffieri (FL, US)
This is a perfect leg spacer for those who have back problems. I sleep so much better with it.


4 out of 5 stars Comfortable but a bit large   August 17, 2010
kweston
This is a quality crafted and easy to clean product. Unfortunately, I am a smaller sized person and the pillow just seems too large between my legs.


3 out of 5 stars Knee pillow (for back alignment)   August 16, 2010
Ponytail Pam (Los Angeles, CA)
I find this pillow a bit too bulky for my needs, but am using it anyway. It makes a great head rest/cradle in different positions. Would have like something a big more trim. Can't really be put in a suitcase for a trip.


4 out of 5 stars Helps with morning back pain   August 7, 2010

1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I suffer from degenerative disc disease and wake up every morning with excruciating back pain. After finally breaking down and buying various devices to help me sleep better, I have to say that this one is a keeper. I've used pillows in the past to place between my knees. This is a good substitute which is more suited for its purpose. Pillows are too big, especially when you need to re-adjust during the night. I can find this easily at night and place it where it should be. It is very soft, and has just enough "give" so works even as the hours of sleep go by. It may not be suited for heavier people, but I am small so it works just fine for me.


3 out of 5 stars Decent construction, decently stiff and dense, problem is knees too spaced.   July 23, 2010
Samuel L. Jackson (Honolulu)
the design of these dont work properly for me because the pillow is reasonably dense and the upper leg rests uncomfortably at an angle and hits pressure points on my lower leg's ankle area. the quality and construction isnt whats at fault its just the fact that your ankle area needs lift and support also. i tried this for a few days but am back to my cheap costco memory foam body pillow that covers the knees,ankles and feet.
basically i think the bodypillow is your best bet.
