Forget spring mattresses! This is the generation that believes in pampering itself and living in ultimate luxury and comfort – so why be behind in mattresses? Visco elastic foam mattress is the perfect solution for reducing discomfort and back aches in the bed. A traditional mattress is generally firm while your body exerts varying pressure as you lie on the body. The uniform firmness of the mattress can lead to soreness and discomfort induced by the pressure exerted by different parts of the body and the inability of the mattress to respond to it. On the other hand, the visco elastic foam aligns itself to the pressure exerted by different parts of the body thus alleviating several pressure points especially around the hips and the shoulders.
Visco elastic foam mattress is made up of open cells that are sensitive to heat and temperature. Hence, when a body comes in contact with such a matress, the open cells modify by circulating air to the cells surrounding them and realign themselves to fit snugly around the body as per the pressure exerted by the different past of the body. Due to their high density, these mattresses are hypo allergenic and less resistant to dust mites when compared to the traditional spring mattresses. Visco elastic foam mattress is also good for people suffering from musculo-skeletal ailments like sciatica, hip pain and back pain. In fact, these mattresses were first used by hospitals before they entered the market for consumers. The most famous brand selling mattresses with visco elastic foam is Tempurpedic.
These mattresses are only a tad bit higher than any branded high end spring mattress but have a longer life span than spring mattresses – about 10-20 years. Also, they are much easier to handle than the traditional spring mattresses. Packaging is also not a big issue. Generally, the thumb rule is higher the density, better the mattress. However, the mattresses are available in different densities. The person’s body weight decides which density is good for them. However, a medium density mattress should be good for most people. The visco elastic foam mattress is also available in different dimensions. Check with online retailers as well your local stores to get a good price. Also, do a due-diligence on the manufacturer as there are a few complaints that some of these manufactures mix formaldehyde like fixers in the foam and selling it as a visco elastic foam product.

A good eight hours sleep every night can energize a person beyond one’s imagination. Significant to this sleep is the mattress you use and also your pillow. Most normal pillows become lumpy or flat after some use leading to neck pain or a stiff neck in the morning and disturbed sleep during night. Unlike others, the memory foam contour pillow has been designed with a view to provide perfect alignment and support for your head and neck at the correct angle. These pillows come with curved and rounded edges to provide proper support to your neck and shoulder muscles as well as support to the arch of the spine. Hence the name “contour”!
The memory foam contour pillow is made up of visco elastic foam. This means that the material is temperature sensitive. As the pillow comes in contact with the person’s neck, the cells of the visco elastic foam modify themselves under the pressure exerted and realign themselves to provide the necessary support, thus gently cradling the head and neck and ensuring a good night’s sleep.
Because of the visco elastic foam, these pillows do not lose shape or sag in the center after several years of use. The pillows also enhance circulation and the relaxed neck and shoulder muscles ensure there is no more tossing or turning in the night. Since the memory foam contour pillow corrects the posture of a body by providing the necessary support for the head and neck, these pillows have found to be effective in reducing snoring or any other sinus problems. Most of these pillows are hypo-allergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and also show resistance to algae, mildew and mold. These pillows are perfect for people who sleep on their back as well as side-sleepers.
Despite all the above features, these pillows are quite affordable and well within budget. Like most mattresses and other bed related accessories, these pillows come with a one year warrantee and sometimes a money-back guarantee. While Tempurpedic is most famous for its memory foam contour pillow, there are other brands available in the market. They are available in different sizes such as medium, queen and king. Do check the prices offered by online retailers before you go visit your neighborhood stores. The pillows are available in different densities based on different brands and higher the density, better the pillow. A density of 70kg/m3 is supposedly perfect for most people.
If your memory foam mattress does not have a memory foam mattress cover, then may be its time you went shopping again. Some people are of the opinion that a mattress cover is just one of those add-on accessories given by the manufacturer to tempt the customer to part with some more money. However, this is not the case. A mattress cover ensures the longevity and durability of your mattress and hence actually saves people’s money in the long run. Most stores that sell mattresses stock on mattress covers and therefore buying a good quality mattress cover is no big exercise. In fact, some stores even provide a decent offer if you club your mattress with a cover, thus making the entire deal more cost-effective than buying just the mattress.
The best quality of a memory foam mattress cover is that it is hypo-allergenic and resistant to dust mites. The biggest problem that most ignored or unclean mattresses face is the infestation of dust mites, thus leading to allergies and other health problems for the person sleeping on the bed. By protecting the mattress with a cover that is resistant to dust mites, not only are you ensuring the longevity of the mattress, you are actually being health-conscious as well.
Most mattress covers come with zippers and are made of terry cloth. Memory foam mattress cover is made in such a way that they smoothly adjust to the sides and corners of your memory foam mattress. There are a few things you must check before you go ahead and buy a mattress cover. Measure the dimensions of your mattress and match it with the dimensions of the mattress cover you may end up buying. Do not end up purchasing a mattress cover just because they come from the same manufacturer. Models vary and so do the dimensions. It is far easier to buy a mattress cover at the time of purchase of the mattress as you not only get a good fit, you also avoid confusion related to dimensions and may also get a good deal out of the store. Getting the mattress into a mattress cover is not much of a hassle and if it is a good fit, your mattress should slip into it easily.
A memory foam mattress cover does not reduce the coziness of your bed – it enhances it by protecting your mattress from dust and other allergens, thus making your sleeping environment more hygienic.
