Consumer Tidbit: The Importance of Longevity for Memory Foam Mattress Companies

No wonder many people are so confused when it comes to buying a memory foam mattress. It seems that there a lot of new companies claiming to have the greatest memory foam mattress on the planet. They also claim to have revolutionized the mattress industry by selling directly to the public with hassle-free 90- or 120-day returns. Did they miss something the last 18 years?? Our founder, David Rosenberg, has been selling memory foam mattresses directly to the public via the Internet for over 18 years and with a 365-day hassle-free money-back guarantee too!

Using Your Memory Foam Mattress with an Adjustable Base

Many people are choosing an adjustable base bed for the comfort and range of sleeping positions it can provide. Gone are the days of only seeing adjustable beds in hospitals and nursing homes. Adjustable bases are mainstream, look great with any decor, and can come with just about every upgrade you can imagine.  These are not your grandfather’s adjustable beds.

Memory Foam Mattresses: Just Say, “No!” to Mold

More often than I would like, I hear from sad people with some other brand of memory foam mattress who look underneath their mattress and discovered that it is covered in mold! This is an unfortunate event that can be prevented. Memory foam mattresses need air to circulate so that they can breath. If memory foam is not allowed to breath properly, mold can be the unfortunate result.

Memory Foam and Electric Blankets

From time to time, we get questions about the use of electric blankets and electric mattresses pads with our memory foam.

If someone would like to use an electric mattress pad with their memory foam mattress, we suggest just to turn it on for a while to warm up the bed, then turn it off. We do not recommend leaving it on all the time as it is unclear whether long term use of an electric mattress pad will harm the memory foam or not.

Memory Foam in the Freezer – Boys Will Be Boys

Memory foam in the freezer?? What on earth does that mean? It means that when you have two boys at home who are 11 and 13, they like to do science experiments and see how things work. Perhaps they didn’t believe me when I told them about the time I accidentally left my memory foam pillow in the car during freezing temperatures and took it out to find it was hard as a brick.  Perhaps they were just curious and wanted to see if memory foam is truly temperature sensitive.  Perhaps the older brother wanted to use it as a weapon on the younger one.  (He did.)  The good news is that I intercepted the memory foam pillow weapon and returned it to its rightful place — my younger son’s warm bedroom.  Problem solved, but I probably should get some more food in that spare freezer!

The Eco-Friendly Mattress: The Natural Latex Mattress

More and more people who want to live a more eco-friendly life are choosing a 100% all-natural latex mattress for their mattress of choice. It is completely botanical and its unique composition makes it hypoallergenic, free of dust mites, and antibacterial. A natural latex mattress is made from the sap of a rubber tree and is completely recyclable.

The Top Two Most Comfortable Mattresses: Memory Foam and Natural Latex

Would you like to know what type of mattresses are rated the most comfortable? According to the top-rated sleep review site, SleepLiketheDead, it’s the memory foam mattress followed closely by the natural latex mattress.  This research is based on actual customer satisfaction data.

Although both are extremely comfortable, they are different.  A memory foam mattress conforms to your body’s shape, cradling your body and reducing pressure points.  A latex mattress has a firmer, more bouncier feel than a memory foam mattress.  It does not change its shape or conform to your body’s contours.

A Natural Latex Mattress is Completely Recyclable

Are you thinking about a natural latex mattress and all the benefits it can provide? A 100% all-natural latex mattress is hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and dust mite-free. It is also extremely comfortable. If those are not enough great reasons to think about an all-natural latex mattress, here is one more… Since an all-natural latex mattress is completely botanical and made from the sap of a rubber tree, it is completely recyclable. That is another great benefit of a natural latex mattress.

Why a Quality Memory Foam Topper is Worth the Price

I speak to many people who are looking for a memory foam topper, but want to pay a very low price. With memory foam toppers, durability and longevity is a huge factor in the price you will pay.  When I talk about price, I’m not talking about overpriced (which is the case when the price you pay is due to millions in advertising like the leading memory foam brand).  I’m talking about price that is based on the comfort, quality, and durability of the memory foam topper.

Don’t Be Fooled by Synthetic Latex Mattresses

There are a lot of “natural” latex mattresses out there. Unfortunately, many of these so-called “natural” latex mattresses are not really natural latex at all, but are actually man-made or synthetic latex.  A truly 100% all-natural latex mattress is made from sap from a rubber tree, not synthetic petrochemicals.  Buyers have to be very careful when looking for an all-natural latex mattress.  Many of the latex mattresses that are called “natural” contain just a tiny amount of natural latex and the rest is synthetic.  I even had to fight to get the truth out of many latex manufacturers when sourcing our 100% natural latex mattress.  Many manufacturers tried to push their “natural” latex on me that wasn’t 100% natural at all.  It sometimes took a lot of questioning and arm twisting to get this information even when sourcing materials as an insider!
