What is a memory foam mattress? >
When it comes to comfort and support memory foam mattresses can be a great choice. Also sometimes known as Visco foam, memory foam is extremely adaptable and can be produced in varying degrees of ‘firmness’, so no matter what your preference when it comes to your mattress, there’s something available for everyone.
Ingeniously using body heat to soften the memory foam allows it to mould to the sleeper’s shape, cradling the body and greatly reducing pressure points that can make sleeping so uncomfortable. Once the weight is removed from the memory foam mattress, it slowly recovers, but will remember the sleepers shape and will return to the optimum sleeping position in future. There’s no secret to the name ‘memory foam’.
Memory foam was designed and invented for the space industry by NASA in the 1960’s in order to reduce pressure points for astronauts during flight but the many benefits of the foam were soon realised, and it wasn’t long before it was being used in a wide variety of products such as mattresses, toppers, pillows, sofas, car seats and much more so the technology has been tried and tested over many years.

The benefits of using a memory foam range mattress begins with reducing pressure points on the body, this in turn helps with better blood circulation. Better blood circulation leads to reducing the need to turn over during sleep, which means less disturbance to your sleeping partner too.
Another great benefit to memory foam mattresses is that they are hypoallergenic, meaning that dust mites cannot penetrate the structure and live in the mattress, so it will be cleaner, healthier and reduce allergy symptoms, allowing for better night’s sleep.

What are the different types of memory foam mattress? >
Memory foam is never the only component in a mattress but is used in conjunction with springs, other support ‘foams’ or a combination of all of these. Each combination will provide different levels of support and comfort. The most popular combination is to use pocket springs with a foam support layer on top and then use memory foam as the top layer to give super comfort and additional ‘cradled’ support. This type of mattress is usually called a Hybrid mattress.
Should you have worries that memory foam mattresses may be too hot, then rest assured that there have been huge developments over the years that can counteract your fears. Most memory foam mattresses produced now have some form of temperature regulation method attached to them, be that cooling gel, super cool mattress covers or intelligent covers that maintain the body temperature at its natural 37.5 degrees.
How long does a memory foam mattress last? >
On average, a memory foam mattress should last around 8-10 years, that being said, we would recommend purchasing a mattress protector such as Protect A Bed's Cooling Copper Mattress Protector. This will add a lovely cooling element to your bed for those stiflingly hot summer nights, but will also protect the bed from dust mites, allergens and sweat.
Are there any memory foam mattresses with springs? >
Yes, you can buy memory foam mattresses with spring structures, commonly known as hybrid mattresses. These mattresses combine a comfortable layer of memory foam with a central spring structure for optimal support. The two most common types of springs in hybrid memory foam mattresses are:
- Pocket springs: Individual springs wrapped in fabric pockets that allow for independent movement and high support.
- Open coil springs: A structure of interlinked springs that evenly distribute the sleeper's weight across the surface.
