Comparison of Tempur-Pedic ® And Other Memory Foams

We are often asked how the less expensive memory foams stack up to Tempur-Pedic ® foams. This is a very difficult question for us to answer, especially given the proliferation of memory foams over the last few years. As Tempur-Pedic ® sales have exploded, we have seen that other mattress and mattress bedding producers have rushed to bring their own memory foam products to market. It is getting so when we go to trade shows, all the new bedding products seem to feature some sort of memory foam layer.

So how can you decide which memory foam products have the quality and feel you are looking for? Well, we understand that it is easy to be seduced by some of the lower costs memory foam bed and toppers you see out there these days. But in our experience, the lower costs memory foams just don't have the quality and feel of the more expensive products like the toppers and The Healthy Foundations Memory Foam Mattress we offer or those of Tempur-Pedic ®. The lower costs mattresses and toppers either use lower density memory foam and other foams in their construction or they often feature foam imported from Asia that has may well be compressed at high pressure (which can cause problems with the integrity and performance of the foam) and stored for extended periods of time (which can cause compression issues).

Also, some manufacturers just don't have the quality control that we demand - and we've heard horror stories about foam manufacturing. Things like manufacturers putting inexpensive fillers into a foam to save money rather than the more expensive materials used in making a true memory foam.

If the foam is less expensive because it is lower density, then in our experience it just doesn't have the same pressure relief characteristics or conforming feel as the higher density, more expensive memory foams that we feel comfortable carrying.

Our Memory Foam Mattress Topper Pads

So the bottom line? We put a lot of effort into making sure that the topper pads and The Healthy Foundations Memory Foam Mattress we carry have the kind of quality of foam we demand and will perform as you expect. We would also vouch for the quality of Tempur-Pedic ® foams - they are expensive but do have a track record for quality and performance. If you are looking for a less expensive alternative to the Tempur-Pedic ®, we hope you will consider our The Healthy Foundations Memory Foam Mattress - it is about 1/2 the price of the middle of the Tempur-Pedic ® mattress line and we've gotten just a terrific response from our customers on the quality and comfort of the mattress. Here's a couple of we've received from people to give you an idea of the type of feedback we've had on the The Healthy Foundations Memory Foam Mattress:

"I am happy thus far with my purchase and it is so far the best mattress I have slept on to date." "I am happy thus far with my purchase and it is so far the best mattress I have slept on to date. I look forward to many years of restful, comfortable sleep on my mattress and will highly recommend you to others looking for a memory foam mattress or other memory foam products."

"Your mattress is AS Good if not Better than my Tempur-Pedic." " Hi, I got my Memory Foam Mattress yesterday. The first thing I have to tell you is that I am one hard lady to impress.....I am Impressed!!!!! The second thing I have to tell you is that I have a Tempur-pedic Mattress that I bought a couple of years ago. I bought this one for my husband because he just couldn't bring himself to pay $1,500.00 for the brand name. Your mattress is AS Good if not Better than my Tempur-pedic. .... I would be more than glad to give your mattress and your company a good review anytime. All in all my experience with your company has been nothing but positive. If I ever have to replace my Tempur-pedic I would not hesitate to order from you and your company. Thank You" Shopping.com Review, by madelyn55 September 19, 2006 (5 star overall rating given)
