Memory foam mattresses have taken the world by storm. When first introduced, they offered a better night’s sleep and less interruption from a partner that is tossing and turning. Soon, these mattresses were found in many homes throughout the United States. Read on to see four reviews from the top brand names of these mattresses.
• Tempurpedic Models – HD collection, Rhapsody, Allura and Grand : These are arguably the most well known name in memory foam. For a queen sized bed you can expect to spend anywhere from $1,600 to $7,000, depending on the model. Tempurpedic has been proven to offer noticeable pain relief, greatly isolates motion from one side of the bed to the other which causes less tossing and turning and offers the greatest durability of any memory foam mattress on the market today. As with all Tempurpedic mattresses, this mattress has a full 20-year warranty.
• Tempurpedic Cloud: This mattress is less dense than other Tempurpedic models. It offers a much higher owner satisfaction rating for a few reasons: the odor when the mattress is new is less noticeable and this mattress retains less heat than other Tempurpedic models. There is 4.1 pounds per foot of foam density in this mattress which makes it softer than other models. At $1,600 to $3,600 for a queen model, this mattress is still rather pricey. There is a full 20-year warranty with this Tempurpedic mattress.
• The next most popular type of memory foam mattress is the Bodipedic. This model ranges in price from $450 to $600 for a queen, which is very competitive with inner spring mattresses. This mattress is only offered in a medium to firm level which is a turn-off for some people. Regardless, these memory foam mattresses are excellent at relieving and preventing back, hip and shoulder pain. The warranty offered by Biopedic is only five years. This is considerably shorter than the Tempurpedic warranties.
• Spa Sensations Mattresses are very inexpensive compared to other brands of memory foam. These mattresses come in a variety of thicknesses, ranging from 6-inches to 12-inches. These mattresses have a lifespan of about five years. This is much less than any other memory foam mattress. When purchasing a queen Spa Sensations mattress, you can expect to spend anywhere from $200 to $400, depending on mattress thickness. Although this bed is much cheaper and has a significantly lower lifespan, it is still effective at reducing body aches and pains. Although this mattress states it comes with a five-year warranty, customers have had difficulty getting a return response from the company when a complaint arises.
Regardless of the brand of memory foam mattresses you choose, they all have pros and cons. Most of these mattresses have the same downfalls, and that is the odor they emit when they are new is disturbing to some people and is more noticeable on thicker mattresses, the mattresses are much heavier than inner spring mattresses and one person cannot handle them, many of these mattresses hold in body heat and make it difficult for the heat intolerant person to sleep and almost every memory foam mattress is only one-sided which means it cannot be flipped.
