Memory Mattress Pad
So you’ve decided to get a memory foam mattress, but you’re unsure how to start, and how to make your selection. In the past, there was just the one very expensive kind, made by Tempur-Pedic, but now it seems these mattresses are everywhere. Yet you know that the quality is not going to be the same in all cases, so how do you know what to look for?
It will help first to know how memory foam actually works, so you’ll see why certain characteristics must be present in a good quality product.

The tiny cells in the memory foam compress when weight is put on them, spreading the pressure through all the nearby cells. This is what allows the foam to change shape and conform to your body, so you are fully supported at all points. This also helps it return to its original shape after you get out of bed. The other important feature of the foam is that it is sensitive to temperature, so it’s more elastic when your body heats it up, and firmer at lower temperatures.
What makes the difference in how well the foam conforms to you and how much support it gives you is its density. So that’s the first thing you need to check. Although a mattress can be anywhere from 1.5 pounds per cubic foot to 8 pounds, the recommended weight is 5 pounds. The highest density may serve as extra pressure relief if you have hip or back problems, but generally, the 5 pound per cubic foot mattresses will be enough. http://www.memory-foammattresstopper.com/sealy-memory-foam-mattress-pad/
