Mattress Review - Suggestions For the Side Sleeper - Choosing the Perfect Mattress

!±8± Mattress Review - Suggestions For the Side Sleeper - Choosing the Perfect Mattress

Modern mattress materials offer good choices for the side sleeper. With so many mattress styles in your average mattress shop, it can be confusing, but with a little common sense, a good choice can be made. The main thing to keep in mind is that the mattress of a side sleeper needs to conform to the contours of the body while supporting the spine. The best sleep surfaces in this case are natural latex, pocketed coil springs and memory foam. Each has its benefits and drawbacks.

Natural Latex Mattress: This mattress is made from several layers of natural latex. Natural latex is extracted from the tropical rubber tree in a way that is similar to tapping a maple tree for syrup. It's foamed and processed into as natural and chemical-free of a foam rubber product available today. Latex has been proven to relieve more pressure points than other high-tech foams. A high quality latex mattress will have a 6 inch base layer of a firm density latex foam, next a softer layer of about 2" of natural latex. A third layer of extra soft latex may be added for extra plushness. A light weight sleeper may actually need this softer top to prevent hip and shoulder pressure. A heavier person will do better with firmer layers. A custom mattress maker can provide the proper layers for each body type.

Traditional Pocketed Coil Spring Mattress: These mattresses are made with individually fabric-wrapped pocketed coil springs, that are fastened together to form the mattress base. A high quality pocketed coil spring mattress will have a combination of firmness-es in the coils so they conform to the sleeper's body, with less pressure on the shoulder and hip areas, thus keeping the spine straight. The top comfort layer should be 2-3 inches of a high quality foam such as Talalay Latex.

Memory Foam: There are many memory foam mattresses on the market right now. The price runs from the discount store "cheap-o-pedic" type to the expensive so called Swedish foam, with which we're all familiar. Many of the famous and popular brands import their memory foams from Asia to cut the cost of the mattress and increase the bottom line for their shareholders. If you're shopping for a memory foam mattress, make sure it is American made. A quality basic memory foam mattress consists of a 7 inch base layer of firm urethane foam, made with ventilating channels, and a 3 inch layer of 4 pound memory foam. There are up-grades to this with several densities, layered with the higher density first (8 pound)and topped with 3 pound. A side sleeper will benefit from this style. Memory foam also does a good job in supporting the spine and cushioning the body. A lighter weight sleeper may find a memory foam mattress to be a bit on the firm side.

Mattress Topper: If your mattress is fairly new or you can't afford a new one right now, many side sleepers have found comfort and relief by adding a HIGH QUALITY mattress topper. Don't but a cheap, convoluted type (egg crate). They don't last and they have a minimal effect. 2" of 3 or 4 pound quality memory foam, or 2 inches of natural latex on top of your firm mattress will go a long way to relieve the pressure.

When you go mattress shopping, make sure you actually lie down on it in the store -in your usual sleeping position. BRING YOUR PILLOW WITH YOU. Your pillow has a lot to do with how well you sleep. The pressure-relieving properties of the mattresses described here are listed from the most relief to the lesser relief. We will cover this in a future article. Remember that your mattress choice is a big decision. You'll probably be spending 10 years on your next mattress, so take your time and try them all.

Memory Foam Mattress Topper Reviews and Ratings - Do the Pads Make Your Bed More Comfortable?

!±8± Memory Foam Mattress Topper Reviews and Ratings - Do the Pads Make Your Bed More Comfortable?

Considering a memory foam mattress topper?

If so, you've come to the right place because I have some important news to share with you.

My research team has collected data from over 270 memory foam topper owners. Below, I provide our research results related to comfort, price and topper thickness.

Comfortable

Based on the data, 253 owners report their memory foam mattress toppers to be comfortable and 34 find them to be uncomfortable. In other words, 93% of owners find their topper comfortable. (Interestingly, this comfort rating is higher than the overall comfort rating for memory foam mattresses, according to our related research.)

Price

The clear majority of owners in our research paid between and 0 for their topper. The price range is chiefly due to variation in topper thickness. (The thicker the topper the pricier it is.)

More expensive memory foam toppers are available which can cost several hundreds of dollars, such as Tempur-pedic brand topper. Should you spring for the more expensive brands? Based on the high owner satisfaction that discount toppers have among their owners, according to our research, there is apparently limited advantage in paying more. However, an expensive brand like Tempurpedic will most likely have less off gassing (initial odor) and be less likely to sleep hot.

Thickness

The majority of owners in our research had either the 2 inch or 3 inch thickness. Fewer owners had the 4 inch thickness and even a smaller number had the 1 inch thickness.

An effective way to find out how thick of a topper you need is to put something hard yet quite small (such as legos, matchbox cars, etc.) beneath the topper and then lay on it. The topper with thickness adequate to prevent you from feeling the object is probably a wise selection for you. There is little reason to pay for a thicker topper than you actually need.

The only problem I had with a Tempurpedic mattress

!±8± The only problem I had with a Tempurpedic mattress

In 1992 Tempurpedic mattresses first imported into the U.S. by CEO Bob Trussell from Sweden. Originally invented by NASA, has been around in its space program, the Swedes use for a decade perfecting the special viscoelastic (temperature sensitive) foam, so that could be used as mattress material.

Trussell had tried a mattress on a business trip and fell in love and became the exclusive distributor in the United States Tempurpedic foam mattress. He began by sellingMagazine and TV spots and some specialty stores such as Brookstone, with sales growth of 49% per year for the first 10 years of existence of society.

I, for the first time with the product line when I bought a Tempurpedic Tempurpedic pillow, after she gives me a cushion of conventional stiff neck in the morning tired. It was more than I wanted to spend, but after 12 years still works like new and was worth every penny I paid for it. I also saw the Tempurpedic mattresson the screen, but when I saw the price tag that just went away because there was no way I'm so much money on a mattress (or so I thought) was allowed to spend.

Now, 8 years ago we had a new mattress and a long story short to make too frustrating for my wife and I tried two traditional big-name brand air mattresses and mattress for a period of several years, before and since has taken on the Tempurpedic their free "Have you tried at home" offer.

At first it was a strange feeling, fallingin the mattress, as your body left in him, but others seemed more comfortable mattresses we tried. The only thing I liked was that we were waking up with back pain that lasted for a few hours every morning.

We thought maybe we just need to get used to the Tempurpedic, but after sleeping on it did not go away for a couple of weeks back pain. I called Tempurpedic and I was told that if you sleep on their side (we do both), which have a probableBack pain in the morning because you sleep on the mattress so tight that you pull back and forth a lot during the night.

Before, I thought, we have not yet found a decent mattress, but the customer service representative said the pain would leave for a few weeks. It took several months for us to get used to the mattress, but I must tell you that it's worth it, because now we are very grateful to bed Tempurpedic mattress. This is without doubt the most comfortable mattress I've ever stayed in.and I highly recommend it.

In addition to a good night's sleep is not tilted the Tempurpedic, is hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant. It also has a 20-year warranty, so if it lasts longer than it really is not as expensive as you may have to buy at least two mattresses in this period.

In summer it is a little 'softer than I like, but it's still very comfortable and is fixed in the winter (we keep the house cool at night), but after afew minutes you just seem to melt into the bed and it feels wonderful.

Be aware, if you buy a mattress, foam because not all created equal, think. Cheaper foam can be too soft in the summers and winters in the low density because of the characteristics of the less expensive material. There is a reason good foam is more expensive so be sure and check the type of foam in the mattress you are considering have, or you may be disappointed.

Due to the popularityThe Tempurpedic mattress, many retail stores now carry so they can try to be as easy as driving to your favorite furniture store with one. Many have 30 to 90 days home trial, so you have enough time, you may need to decide whether the Tempurpedic foam mattress is right for you.
