Memory foam has enjoyed a massive boom in popularity in recent years, with more and more people now experiencing a better nights sleep thanks to the benefits that memory foam can bring.

Because of this rise in popularity, the number of memory foam mattresses on the market has also skyrocketed, with products to suit almost any size and budget. But how do you know which memory foam mattress is the one for you?

Like with anything else, we all want to save money here and there whenever we can but we also want the best products for our hard-earned cash that we can possibly get, so where’s the medium? How do you make sure that you get the best value for your money?

Not all memory foam is the same and so if you notice that a certain memory foam product has a smaller price tag, then there is probably a very good reason for it.

Cheaper mattresses and pillows are often made from either lower density memory foam or they may be layered with other low cost foam products and materials which will not only have an adverse effect on the level of support and comfort but it usually means a shorter product life as well, which could mean that your cheaper memory foam mattress could end up costing considerably more in the long-run.

So what should you look for?

With a mattress, you should be looking for at least three inches of memory foam with an ideal density of at least 5lb. Three inches of memory foam will offer the optimum amount of material to cushion and conform to your body and whilst you could get by with just two inches, three inches offers much more comfort.

In terms of density, 5lb is considered ideal for most users, offering the perfect balance of comfort, durability and cost.

All the mattresses found at Memory Foam Mattress Direct are either Vasco 55 or Vasco 55s, which we believe makes the ideal mattress. All our products are manufactured in the UK and each and every mattress comes with a five-year guarantee, allowing you to sleep easy knowing that you’ve bought the right memory foam mattress to suit your needs.
