Each type has pros and cons, so you should take some time to learn about the different mattress types and their benefits before you decide. Besides choosing based on your personal preference, both memory foam and gel mattresses provide different things. For example, a memory foam mattress provides full body support and little to no motion transfer, whereas a gel mattress might sleep a little cooler than a foam mattress.
Did you know that memory foam was originally invented by NASA for space travel?! They were concerned about comfort for their astronauts, who were traveling under intense amounts of pressure at high speeds. When memory foam started being used in mattresses, comfort was also top of mind.
Memory foam mattresses are great for relieving major pressure points while you sleep, specifically in your shoulders and hips. These kinds of beds usually have a longer lifespan than spring mattresses. Memory foam comes in three primary types : traditional, open cell and gel-infused.
It provides for a good sleep experience by molding to your body. The other two types of memory foam were created to resolve this issue.
Open cell memory foam is your basic memory foam with a different internal structure. You may be interested in: Open Cell vs. Closed Cell Foam. Gel memory foam, or gel-infused memory foam, is memory foam that has been pumped full of gel, which also has two different types. The first is a kind of material that just absorbs heat. Think of this like an ice pack you might keep in your freezer.
The other type is actually what is called a phase-changing material. What this stuff does is help regulate your temperature as you sleep by absorbing and releasing heat. As a side fact, the gel microbeads used in gel-infused memory foam can actually serve to increase the density of your mattress. Some people have insisted that these types of mattresses are the reason that they started sleeping well at night again.
But is this true? Overall, it is very difficult to measure because sleep is so subjective. However, there are some key benefits to memory foam that are known to us. Your body heat actually softens the memory foam , making it more viscous.
This is what allows you to sink in. It essentially creates a mold of your body. When you get up from the bed, the foam goes back to how it was originally. This will make a more comfortable sleep for people, as the mattress is perfectly indented to suit them. This is also good for supporting the alignment of your body. Sleeping on a natural curve is good for your spine, and promotes lumbar support.
If you have arthritis or joint pain, then these beds might be able to help. It cushions you and will reduce any impact you might otherwise encounter. Older beds which use only a pillow top or some sort of soft top layer, have a tendency to begin wearing out over time, which allows the underlying springs to start making more and more of an impression. Eventually, these springs can serve as pressure points on the bed, causing you discomfort.
Memory foam, for the most part, eliminates this. This is, of course, good news for anyone who suffers from things like back pain. When using a memory foam mattress, it is less likely that you will be able to feel your partner moving.
There is a reduced chance that you will be bothered by their getting up or tossing and turning. This is due in part to the density of the mattress. Because you sink in, movement is basically absorbed by the mattress, rather than being transferred, as would happen with a traditional spring mattress. This is good if you are a light sleeper and are easily awakened.
Another benefit is that memory foam can be hypoallergenic. It has a very dense structure, which is good for reducing the number of allergens that can build up. Dust, mold and other allergens will not be able to find a way into your mattress.
Although these types of beds have proven to be beneficial, it is not the solution to every sleep problem. Memory foam mattresses can offer no relief for the condition of sleep apnea , or sleep-breathing disorders. The dense foam can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. The density makes the mattress very heavy, and difficult to move.
This means that one person alone might not be able to set the mattress up initially. Lifting it up to put sheets underneath might also prove to be a problem if you are trying to do it by yourself. Many of these newer bed-in-a-box products being released, such as the Casper and Leesa mattresses, are advertised as being lighter and easier to move around, but this is due to the fact they only contain memory foam layers, which add less to the weight. Another disadvantage is that these beds tend to retain body heat.
This means that during the warm months, the sleep might become overheated and uncomfortable. As a result, they will be awoken more times during the night. This can easily become a problem for people who live in warm climates with lots of humidity in the air.
These people might be forced to purchase a dehumidifier just so that they can get through the night comfortably. This can also be combatted by choosing the right type of memory foam. While both types of foam do a great job of initially keeping you cool, they will still begin to equalize and warm up at some point. By keeping you cooler longer, however, they will help you fall asleep faster, allowing your body to more quickly begin the cooling process which happens during sleep.
These mattresses, as well as toppers, do not do well around moisture. You should be very careful to avoid interaction between your mattress and any type of moisture.
This can speed up the degeneration of the mattress, and the usable life will be reduced. It also makes it difficult to clean. High quality mattress covers are nearly imperceptible , but will still protect your mattress from any sorts of fluids which may damage it. If you are someone who rolls around often in the night and likes to try out different positions, this may be a bit of an issue with memory foam mattresses. The memory foam will take some time to adjust from one position to the next.
It will cradle your body again, but not right away. Some mattresses are able to conform within a shorter amount of time than others. There is a definite lack of springiness with memory foam, which elastic foam is more known for.
Certain materials added to foams can adjust the response time. At the beginning of its life, foam products such as this sometimes produce a chemical-like smell. It is true that the gel infused mattress will feel cooler to the touch and combined with the right memory foam will keep you cooler.
Overall gel memory foam is cooler , but you will pay more for a gel infused mattress. If you still find you are too warm while sleeping, consider your bed coverings. Use breathable fabrics like pure cotton for bedding and your own nightclothes. If you are still using a feather down comforter that holds heat in switch to cotton blankets.
You will find some memory foam mattresses have a latex layer advertised as an added comfort layer. Latex adds a buoyancy that some prefer because it does make turning in bed a little easier. Truly though, the constant turning in bed will be reduced with a premium memory foam mattress. Be very careful. Unless you buy a higher end mattress, the latex used is not natural. Many companies save money by using synthetic latex made from petrochemicals for mattresses.
