The Bedding Guru

The latest entrants into the mattress market are those made of memory foam. As more and more brands of the memory foam mattress come out in the market, consumers are left with more choices. Qualities vary dependent mostly on density and thickness. It is the density of the foam that makes it supportive of the body. These are the heavier kinds. Because it adjusts to body contour, it is seen as a good compromise between the comfort of a soft mattress and the solidness of a firm one.

The biggest disadvantage of memory foam is its price. Some get around this by using a memory foam topper to use on top of another kind of mattress. This will cut the cost significantly. There are also complaints about the chemical off gassing from new memory foam. Most complaints about health issues with memory foam seem to be due to toxic chemicals.
