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.

Product Description
5.3 Cloud Visco Elastic Memory Foam out performs and relieves painful pressure points better than the leading competitor with innovative visco elastic memory foam technology and better formulation to help you sleep through the night without tossing and turning, allowing you to awake refreshed and renewed after a good nights sleep.Cloud9 Visco-elastic foam - memory foam - provides an ideal sleeping surface. In normal temperatures it is firm, but when you lay down to sleep it reacts to the temperature of your body and begins to mold itself to your shape. Weight is then distributed evenly along the surface, relieving pressure and helping you to sleep more soundly without tossing and turning. Cloud9 Memory Foam Contours perfectly and molds to your body, superior pressure relief reduces back pain, increased circulation for a deep sleep. They go right on top of your bed - very useful for making a firm, hard or old mattress much more comfortable. The "Featherlight Sleep System" will kindle a sincere delight when it's time to retire for the night. Our exclusive, "Featherlight" formula makes you feel like you are floating on CLOUD9, sailing forth into a sea of enchanted dreams. We usually recommend that if the person using the visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad weighs under 200lbs and they are just looking for added comfort they should get a 2" visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad, if they weigh over 200 we definitely recommend a 3" visco-elastic memory foam mattress pad and for those that weigh over 250lbs the 4" toppers are the best option for pressure point relief and comfort. The 3.3 Cloud9 visco-elastic memory foam is SUPER SOFT being less dense and having a softer compression or ILD rating. The 4.3 Cloud9 Topper is slightly firmer and provides a little more support while at the same time remaining soft and supple with a slightly more supportive compression or ILD. Our most luxurious 5.3 Cloud9 visco elastic memory foam is firmer than the 3.3 and 4.3 Cloud9.

5 out of 5 stars CLOUD9 MATTRESS TOPPER IS JUST WHAT I WANTED   February 14, 2010

I ordered this 4 inch mattress topper on 2/6 and it was delivered to my house on 2/12/10. I was amazed at how fast it arrived. It was a king size and actually a full 4 inches deep. Unlike the ones you buy at Costco that say they are 3 inches and they only expand to 2 inches and the density isn't as good. Word to the wise, pay the extra money for this Cloud9 and you'll be happy. It pays to get the higher density and 4 inches. The Costco one only lasted 3 years and seemed to shrink in length after 2 years. The Cloud9 actually covers the whole mattress. No shortage in size. I had my boyfriend carry the 47# box up the stairs and we opened the box on top of the mattress. Unfolded the foam topper and cut off the plastic wrap. Made it easier to handle this way. No heavy lifting of the foam mattress onto the bed. It unfolded right away and opened to a full 4 inches deep. We are now letting it air out because of the smell. I expected it though. I'm going to use the Fabreze like the previous reviewer suggested before I sleep on it tonight.
I mostly like the 4 inch foam mattress topper to make my old mattress deeper so the new sheets will fit better. My mattress is only 8 years old and in great condition. But it's one of the thinner old style ones. Since I can't buy sheets to fit just the mattress alone, the 4 inch foam topper helps to get the new sheets to fit without all the excess material and having to use the straps to hold them in place.
I may edit this review after I've slept on it tonight.
I recycled the old Costco foam topper. I cut it down to fit the twin bed in the guest room and I'll throw out the excess leftover piece. That's about all it's good for.
The only complaint I have is that it did not come with a cover. I would have preferred to have a cover over it to protect it. Of course I'll put the mattress pad on it, but I would have liked the extra protection on it.

After sleeping on this for a few weeks, I found that putting two (2) mattress covers on it will help with night sweats. Since the foam has a tendency to hold in your body heat. This took care of the problem of the product not having a cover for it. The fiber fill in the two mattress covers makes it really comfortable now. Like sleeping on a cloud of fluffiness.


5 out of 5 stars Do your research and get the right fit   September 9, 2009

I purchased this for my wife when she was pregnant and suffering from back pain. It made a great difference and she sleeps much better now. I would strongly recommend it for someone who has a standard mattress that isn't doing the job, but doesn't want to replace the whole thing. It was certainly much more cost effective than buying an entire new mattress. I find it very comfortable as well.

Things to be aware of:

1. Do the research and find out what factors go into how well a foam mattress or mattress topper supports you. This is very important. The Cloud9 manufacturer web site has a good overview of how you should determine what density and thickness of mattress is right for you at [...]. There are other sources of advice on the Internet if you search for them.

2. Basically, the manufacturer indicates that the density (3.4/4.3/5.3) and the thickness of the topper should be considered in combination. If you weigh more than 250lbs you probably ought to be looking at the four inch topper for the extra support and pressure point relief. The 5.3 density will make that support firmer and you won't sink into the topper quite so much. If you weigh less you might achieve the same results with a thinner topper, and get away with a less dense one also if you like a softer feel.

2. Bear in mind that a four inch topper will add that much to the height of the mattress. You may need to get some new bedding.

3. This product is stinky to start with. It smells, well, rubbery, and needs a good bit of airing to get rid of it. I found Febreeze helped as well. A water proof mattress cover might help also. The smell does wear off eventually.

4. The vendor charges a fifteen percent disposal fee if you return the product within thirty days. I considered this an adequate risk and found I did not need to use the service.
