Looking for a new mattress? Maybe you are thinking about buying memory foam mattress. You hear the term “density” but just how important is the density of your memory foam mattress?
The most important aspect when choosing a memory foam mattress is how it actually feels to you when you sleep on it in your home for an extended period of time. This is why it is so important to buy your memory foam mattress from a retailer that offers a complete money-back guarantee (not a store credit) for long period of time. I recommend using a retailer who offers a money-back guarantee for at least 180 days or more.
When it comes to density, research has found that memory foam with a density of 3 to 4 pounds per cubic foot is ideal. A density of less than 3 lbs per cubic foot just doesn’t have the true memory foam characteristics. A density of more than 4 lbs. per cubic foot is generally too stiff and often hard. The bottom line here: Use density as a guideline for your purchase, but make your purchase from a retailer with a money-back guarantee so you can actually use your memory foam mattress at home for an extended period.
At Healthy Foundations, we give you 365 days to try your memory foam mattress in your own home. If you don’t like it, you can return it and get your money back. We also offer buyer’s guides for air beds and natural latex mattresses.
