Memory Foam Benefits - Mattress and Topper
Over 60% of the population in mainland Europe sleep on foam mattresses, compared to 1% of the British population! What do they know that we don’t?
Sprung mattresses rely on springs that force upwards pressure against the body. This causes the body stress and results in a restless night. Memory foam works in a completely different way; it absorbs the weight of the body, whatever shape or size, and forms a cradle that moulds to the body contours without pressure or force.
The main points are:-
- The heat sensitive visco-elastic memory foam moulds to the body improving posture and circulation.
- The weight of the body is absorbed by the memory foam preventing bed sores.
- The relaxed body has less desire to move and a more restful sleep is achieved.
- Reduced movement means less stress on joints easing arthritic pain.
- Correct spine alignment has enormous benefits to back pain sufferers
The structure of memory foam allows air to flow freely which helps to maintain a constant mattress temperature. The qualities of Visco Elastic ensure the most comfortable sleep possible because the foam is breathable, non-irritating and assists in the dissipation of moisture.
Head - Proper support will encourage the neck muscles relax and help prevent tension headaches
Back – Aligning the back correctly on a memory foam mattress will lower the chance of back pain
Pelvis and Hips - A memory foam mattress will mould to the contours of the body, this reduces pressure reducing the risk of swollen hip joints or an aching pelvic area
Lower Leg and Heels - Circulatory problems which can cause swollen calves and feet can be prevented by spreading pressure. Chaffing and soreness can also be avoided.
Allergy Sufferers – Memory foam is anti-microbial and dust-mite preventative. This makes memory foam superb for people with allergies, particularly asthma. The covers can be removed for regular cleaning.
