If you are looking for a new memory foam mattress, you’re probably a little confused as to which type you should buy.

Memory Foam Mattress Direct has a whole range of memory foam to choose from. Whether you need single, double kingsize and more, we stock all standard UK sizes – you’ll find the foam bed that suits your needs.

Foam beds are so called as they are made from the famous memory foam material. Originally developed by NASA for the US Space Program, the visco-elastic foam is now widely used in memory foam mattresses and foam beds.

There are a few things to look out for when buying your new foam bed, and being the kind souls that we are, we’ve arranged them into handy bullet points!

• Make sure you buy a UK manufactured foam bed. That way, you can be sure of the quality. Some lesser memory foam companies will try and fob you off with cheap imported memory foam beds. However, the foam density in these beds means that they are more likely to lose their ‘memory’ ability to revert back to their original dimensions (i.e. you’ll have a ‘you-sized’ crater in your foam bed).

• Linked to the above point – make sure you check the foam density of the foam mattress you are buying. This shows how densely packed the cells are - the higher the better! We only use Vasco 55 and 55s in all our memory foam mattresses – so you know you’re buying quality!

• Check your guarantee. Here at Memory Foam Mattress Direct we offer a comprehensive Five Year Guarantee on all our foam beds and memory foam products.

• Independent advice. One of our most popular memory foam mattresses recently scored very highly in tests by independent consumer group, Which?. With higher scores than many of the so-called memory foam big names like Sealy and Slumberland, it pays to do your research and buy the best foam bed available.
