8 Benefits of a Memory Foam Mattress

#1 Body hugging comfort

Memory foam is a resilient substance that adjusts its firmness and temperature based on the individual’s body heat and weight. Visco elastic foam conforms rapidly to your body shape when you lie down on it. Memory foam’s ability to conform to your body is what sets it different from other mattress materials.

#2 Ideal for all sleeping positions

Because of their adaptability and ability to equally distribute weight, memory foam mattresses are suitable for people who sleep in a wide variety of positions. Sleeping on your stomach will keep your spine in a neutral position, while sleeping on your back or side will provide you with the same level of support.

#3 Superior motion absorption

One of the major benefits of modern memory foam mattresses is that they isolate movement very well. Memory foam is great for couples because of its capacity to absorb energy and reduce the impact of movement. The other person in the relationship doesn’t feel a thing when one of you rolls over or flops around.

#4 Less back and neck pain

The neutral spinal alignment that is encouraged by visco elastic foam makes it possible to sleep in a position that is both comfortable and supportive. This has been shown to alleviate chronic discomfort in the back and neck over time.

#5 Hypo-allergenic

People who are allergic to traditional mattresses may find relief from the allergen-free memory foam option. Mold and mildew are not able to grow on polyurethane foam, and neither can dust mites or pet dander.

#6 Good pressure relief

A painful pressure point along the knees, hips, back, or shoulders may be the result of a mattress that is excessively firm. Memory foam solves this issue by distributing weight evenly over the mattress.

#7 Customized support

Historically, memory foam’s unfavorable connotations as a heated sleep surface and a “quicksand”-like texture have limited its popularity. Newer types allow for more ventilation, keep you cooler at night, and let you choose your own firmness level, among other benefits. Foam mattresses are now available in a range of comfort thicknesses, with low, medium, and high densities to suit individual preferences.

#8 Sag free and no sinkage

Modern memory foam mattresses use adaptable high-grade ingredients to strike a balance between being too soft and too stiff. The open cell construction of the mattress ensures that it will retain its shape over time.

Steps To Pack Memory Foam Mattress

Making a cross-country move with all of your belongings can be challenging. You’ll have to lug about an extra weight in addition to your mattress.

If getting your mattress into the house is giving you sleepless nights, you can relax and read this.

My latest do-it-yourself moving hack should help you save time and energy while packing and transporting your belongings.

No special or expensive machinery like that which is used in factories to compress mattresses is required for this procedure.

Be careful not to ruin your mattress before attempting this procedure.

Check the mattress’s guarantee as well. This approach can render it null and void, therefore be sure to carefully review all relevant documentation before settling on a compression method.

You need to get the following ready:

• Bag for storing things under the bed,
• Toggle buckles
• To patch things up with some duct tape,
• To place in a vacuum
• Cleaner than a vacuum
• Term for a really large box

Also, it would be helpful to know the difference in sizes of mattress bags before making a purchase.

How to properly pack a memory foam mattress is outlined below.

Step #1. Setting up the mattress

First, make your bed by taking off all of the sheets and blankets except for the mattress protector.

When cleaning, it’s best to get rid of everything soft, including pillows, coverings, bolsters, pads, and toppers.

If you really want to start over, I think you should clean those up as well.

Step #2. Bagging the bed

Bedding and mattress should be placed inside the bag. You should start from a certain spot on the bed by lifting one edge off the ground by a few centimeters.

After that, slide the bed slowly and close the bag.

In preparation for the next stages, reinforce the seal with strips of duct tape and place your mattress on the floor.

Step #3. Attaching the valve

Next, remove the valve from the vacuum bag, but leave enough plastic around it so that it may be taped shut.

The next step is to create a passage for the valve through the mattress bag.

You can reach into the bag and grab the valve through this opening.

After that, you should seal the opening with tape.

Step #4. Vacuuming up the air

Making ensuring your mattress is laid flat on the floor will result in the most uniform compression of the bed.

Connect the vacuum hose to the valve first. A piece of duct tape will do the trick for me when it comes to making sure the two parts stay there.

When the vacuum is turned on, the air is sucked out of the bed and the mattress bag.

Moving around and stamping on the air above the bed might help push more air out and compress the mattress more quickly.

Step #5. Rolling up the mattress

You can begin rolling the mattress from one end to the other once all the air has been removed and it has been flattened.

As long as the vacuum is on, any leftover air in the mattress can be removed.

Next, carefully roll it into a tighter coil.

Step #6. Tying it up

After the mattress has been rolled up entirely, the ratchet straps may be wrapped around the frame and tightened with the turn of a handle.

Padding between the straps and the bag would be useful.

It serves to keep the mattress from getting torn up any further.

If you follow these steps, your air mattress will be leak-proof and the straps will make it easy to transport.

At the very least, you’ll want two ratchet straps to secure a twin-sized bed’s mattress.

A third strap across the middle is required for larger sizes like as full, queen, or king.

Keep the mattress in a horizontal position after rolling it up and securing it with the straps.

You can now install your bed and seal up your cardboard shipping container.

Your bed’s compressed state is good for at least two weeks.

Material damage may occur if this time span is exceeded.

Memory Foam Mattress Do’s and Don’ts

Spending some time caring for your memory foam mattress will pay off in the long run, when your bed continues to offer the ideal blend of softness and support far into the future.

A few easy rules to follow to maintain the quality of your mattress:

1. Do Rotate It Regularly

Unlike many other multilayer foam mattresses, our memory foam mattresses are not meant to be rolled over. However, to avoid depressions from forming in places of intense pressure, we advise you to rotate it head to foot every three months or so.

2. Don’t Get it Wet

Avoid getting any liquids on the mattress’s surface if at all possible, as this can cause the foam to break down more quickly. If you tend to be clumsy in bed, a mattress protector is a must-have for your bed’s safety.

3. Do Use a Suitable Bed Base

The bed’s base should be solid, level, and free of large gaps. Slats at the base should be 10–15 cm broad, with no more than 5-cm spaces between them. Over time, the mattress will wear down faster if the gaps are too big. Discover which bed frame will work best with your mattress.

4. Don’t Keep it Near Strong Heat Sources

As a heat-sensitive substance, Memory Foam conforms flawlessly to your unique body contours. So, keep your memory foam mattresses apart from any major heat sources.

Similarly, using an electric blanket or hot water bottle on a memory foam mattress is not recommended because the intense heat from these sources might compromise the mattress’s support and reduce its longevity.

5. Do Protect it With a Washable Mattress Cover

Most of our mattresses come with an easily removable, washable mattress cover to keep it fresh and protect against spills and stains. Wash at 40 to keep your mattress spick and span for longer.

6. Don’t Make Your Bed!

Most of our mattresses have a cover that can be removed and washed in the event of a spill or stain. When washed at 40 degrees, a mattress can retain its cleanliness for far longer than when washed at a lower temperature.
