Should You Buy A Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress?
What is Visco Elastic Memory Foam?
Memory foam is polyurethane with additional chemicals increasing its viscosity and density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam.
How does Visco Elastic Memory Foam work?
Mattresses made of visco-elastic are ment to offer great support ad comfort to the users. The material is firmer when cooler. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat, allowing it to mold to a warm human body in a few minutes. A lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and molds quickly to the shape of the body.
Facts You Should Know About Visco Elastic Foam Matresses – Before Buying One
Visco Elastic Foam Mattress has unique features that could or could not help you sleep better.
For many people, it improves sleep by reducing pressure and eliminating tossing and turning. This explains its wide popularity.
But for some people and some environments, a visco foam mattress may not be the best choice:
1. One of the main benefits of visco elastic foam is its ability to reduce pressure points, which in turn eliminates tossing and turning.
While for most of us this relates to deep, restful sleep, people who suffer of certain conditions may wake up in pain if they lie still for a long time.
2. The way heat responsiveness works is one of the best things about viscoelastic foam but it is also why so many customers complaint about it.
Basically, it gets softer (more elastic) when warmer and harder (more viscous) in cooler environments.
Humidity also affects its performance which is why viscoelastic foam is not recommended for places where it is always cold.
Fact is that a visco memory foam mattress, not even a very expensive one, can cure your sleep disorder, back or hip pain but,
at the very least, it can bring some small relief where other mattresses and beds have failed.
Now ask yourself is this relief worth the price of a new mattress?
Would you spend, say, $2,000 for a mattress that might only make a difference three days in a week?
Over the expected 10 year life of a mattress, that would be about $1.50 per day of relief.
Most people I know with backor hip problems consider this a bargain.
Still, comfort is a very personal thing and only you can decide if a viscoelastic memory mattress makes for the perfect bed for you to sleep in.
