Visco Elastic Foam MattressForget 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.
