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.

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.

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?? 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!

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.

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.

I recently spoke with a man who was looking into the Healthy Foundations 10″ Memory Foam Mattress, as well as the memory foam mattress of another mattress company. There were differences in the way they were made, pricing, company longevity, and the usual things that separates Healthy Foundations from other companies, but the biggest “gotcha” from this company is their warranty. Buyer beware, as I always say.

In the blog, Advantages And Disadvantages Of Spring Mattress, Latex Mattress And Memory Foam Mattress, the blogger, simply listed as “Bedroom,” offers to sum up the advantages and disadvantages of each type of mattress listed.
Although it’s true that many spring mattresses these days do offer a zero transfer feature (you can move without disturbing your bed partner), that’s about it for the spring mattress keeping up with the times. If you are looking for true comfort, you need to take a look at memory foam and latex mattresses.

I see this question quite a bit on the web. Should you choose a natural latex mattress or a memory foam mattress? It’s the biggest question since Ginger or MaryAnne or Freddy versus Jason. The problem with the memory foam mattress versus natural latex mattress question is that the only one who can answer it is you. It’s just like Ginger or MaryAnne – both are great, it’s just a matter of preference. (Freddy versus Jason can have an actual winner, but who knows who that would really be?)
