Memory foam, the visco-elastic material that temporarily keeps
whatever form you press into it, is mostly associated with
memory foam mattresses. The most famous memory foam mattress
brand is Tempur-Pedic, the very company that helped NASA to
develop the material. It is one of the more premium brands, but
there are at least two other quality brands worth noting.
Sensus Sensus memory foam generally has a density of 5 pounds
per cubic foot. This makes for a high-density mattress or
mattress pad. It will last you at least 10 years, softening a
little over time. It has an ILD (Indentation Load Deflection) of
14, which means it is a soft sort of foam. Sensus carries memory
foam mattresses almost as good as Tempur-Pedic, at lower prices.
Serta Serta is a large bedding company, formed in 1931. They
decided to start offering memory foam mattresses and mattress
pads in the 1990s, and their product quality is high, but their
customer service is not very knowledgeable. If you buy a Serta
memory foam mattress, go to a dealer or small retailer of their
products, rather than the manufacturer.
Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Pedic is the industry leader in memory foam.
They offer three mattresses, each a different thickness, with
different levels of firmness. The Classic is the firmest at 8".
It has a base layer of 4.3". Air is allowed to flow through this
base layer and the top two layers, with the top layer being the
softest. The Deluxe is thicker at 10", with a two-level base
layer that is doubly aerated for more airflow, thus allowing for
a softer and cooler sleep. The Celebrity is over 13" thick - the
softest memory foam mattress Temper-Pedic has to offer. Most
other companies offer these variations in memory foam
mattresses, but Tempur-Pedic was the first.

Are you looking for help to sleep but don't want
to spend out on a new mattress? Is the new mattress
you bought recently harder and therefore not as
comfortable as you hoped it would be?...
