There are so many memory foam manufacturers out there these days that the selection is huge. With such a large selection though, there comes high quality and low quality mattresses. This article will talk about what you should look for when buying a memory foam mattress.

It may seem like a good deal to buy a discount memory foam mattress but you really get what you pay for. In the case of the cheaper mattresses, the quality of the materials are evident and the lower density foams are used in conjunction with other cheaper materials. The mattress will wear out fast.

So what should you be aware of? It really depends on what you’re going for. Generally you can get a whole memory foam mattress bed or you can get a memory foam mattress topper which is basically a layer of memory foam which goes on top of your existing bed. Suffice to say, the whole bed version is a lot more expensive and your concern should be comfort and durability.

The main concern with the topper version is comfort because it can easily be replaced. Replacing it is easy since it just sits on top of your existing mattress. It will last approximately four to five years if its about four pound density.

When you’re in the store, pay attention to the density of the memory foam mattresses you’re looking at. In general, the denser the memory foam, the more expensive its going to be because there are more materials that go into making a denser foam. However, the density of the mattress alone does not dictate the comfort of the mattress.

What density tells you is how heavy the memory foam is per cubic foot. So as an example, if you were looking at a 4 lb memory foam density, that means that the foam weighs 4 pounds per cubic foot which is measured by one foot in length, width and height.

Also, denser memory foams give you more of that sinking, soft memory foam feeling. The unique feeling that memory foam mattresses are known for. With less dense foams, they don’t have enough depth and density to provide that unique feeling.

So in conclusion when you’re looking at memory foam mattresses, make sure you choose one that is 4 pound density for toppers or 3.2 to 3.4 lbs for the whole mattress.
