A good mattress is crucial when it comes to enjoying a good night’s sleep. Too often people wake up feeling exhausted after a night of tossing and turning, with many complaining of a bad back. This is likely to be due to sleeping on an old mattress or a mattress that does not suit your body’s needs. When purchasing a new mattress decide what is comfortable for you. You should have a look at dreams beds. One of the most popular and comfortable mattresses are memory foam.

 

Originally created my NASA in 1966 the foam was developed to improve the safety of aircraft cushions. However, in the 1990’s, the discovery that the foam reacted well to temperature and under pressure was recognised by physicians. Those waking up with aches and pains were clearly sleeping on the wrong mattress and those who were immobile needed mattresses that would provide comfort and support. They were therefore, initially used for medical reasons.

Gradually, as the benefits and comfort of the memory foam became better known, as did the demand and the memory foam mattresses were then introduced more widespread as a luxury item. Unlike the innerspring mattress, the memory foam mattress used visco-elastic polyurethane foam as its support. With the sturdiness and density of the memory foam mattress and its ability to mould around the contours of the body, the public were enjoying a better sleep and its popularity increased.

Its ability to assist in providing a good sleep is a result of its unique properties. Although the mattress itself is sturdy, it is still soft enough to provide a soft cushion for the body, shaped exactly to each individual. This reduces movement during sleep, reducing disturbances through discomfort.

With its reaction to the body’s temperature, the contouring around the body and the density of the mattress make this a warmer alternative to the innerspring and the latex options. The heat is good through the winter months, improves circulation and serves to create a cosy space, perfect for a good sleep.

Those who have slept on a memory foam mattress will be aware of the comfort and quality of sleep achieved. People suffering from aches and pains will certainly benefit from the support given to the spine and those who don’t will simply look to this mattress to provide a good night’s sleep.
