Memory Foam Mattress Reviews

Whenever looking for product reviews I normally recommend going Consumer Reports for “Best Buy” recommendations.  Since Consumers Union does not accept advertising and you usually expect that their reviews are totally unbiased.  They also do not accept free samples of product they are reviewing to keep any bias from the review.  Memory foam is the generic term for mattresses made from visco-elastic foam of varying densities.

To find memory foam mattress reviews you can go to Amazon.com, ePinions.com and various manufacturers’ websites.  It is interesting to note that after 18 mattresses were tested and torn apart along with fifty nine staffers tried out the test mattresses in a store like environment and four couples tested the mattresses at home for a month, Consumer Reports has yet to rate or recommend any of the mattresses they tested.  The editors stated that because each individual has unique body issues and personal preferences a definitive recommendation can not be given.  In addition, many sleep experts say that the only way to choose a mattress properly is to physically go to a store and lie down on it.  Even that may not be the best option and the Cadillac of the memory foam industry, Tempur-Pedic, offers a thirty day money back guarantee so you will know for sure that you like the mattress.

Your best bet when trying to choose a memory foam mattress is to look at reviews from some of the choices above or those at Buzzillions.com and Viewpoints.com.  After you have an idea of which memory foam mattress reviews help you make your choice, you will need to go to the store and ask some pointed questions to make sure you are getting the quality you are paying for.  The manufacturer of the foam along with the quality and density of the foam in the mattress are very important.

Other questions to ask are how long has the manufacturer been making that particular model and what kind of feedback have they gotten from customers in that time?  Are there any compression or sleep issues (mattress is too hot, too much synthetic odor, slow rebound)?  Do customers think the foam is too firm or too soft?  What is the rate of return and just what is the return policy on these mattresses.  Use memory foam mattress reviews to narrow down your list, but use personal store visits and the questions above to help you get the mattress that is best for you and your sleep habits.
