The Top Factor In Tempurpedic Mattress Success

Published by admin | Filed under Entertainment, Memory Foam

Memory foam density ranges from 2.5lb to 5.9lb. Tempurpedic foam used in memory mattresses is 5.34 lb which means that a cube of Tempur material, one foot in each direction, weighs a whopping 5.34lb. But how does this relate to comfort and support?

Generally speaking, mattresses made of the higher density foam are much better quality and perform better over their expected lifetime. Here’s why.

High Density Foam Has More Body And Longer Memory

In high density foam like Tempurpedic’s, there are billions of small, open cells (bubbles with holes in them), tightly packed together. When you lie down on a Tempur mattress, air flows slowly between the bubbles giving it time to gently cradle the natural hollows of your body, distribute your weight and relieve pressure.

• High density Tempur foam has more body; hence, it provides more cushion and better support. It conforms precisely to your body and slowly regains its original shape when you move, just like the hand imprint you may have seen on TV recovers after a few seconds.
• Tempurpedic foam and other high density foams also have a longer memory. The general consensus seems to be that longer recovery from a compressed state makes a visco memory mattress more supportive. High density Temper foam also softens more slowly in response to body heat making it feel more gentle.
• You don’t sink right through a high density memory foam mattress nor do you risk bottoming out.
• High density visco foam like the ones used in Tempur-Pedic sleep systems is also more expensive to make because more raw material called resin, rather than air, goes into making the stuff. This is one of the things which explains why a Tempurpedic mattress is so expensive.

Tempur-Pedic has a unique mattress recipe indeed but over the past few years other manufacturers in the US and the UK have also came up with good quality memory foam products so there’s a wider choice on the market.

The ability to change firmness actually improves the support and comfort. The firmness and density of the cooler foam deeper in the bed holds you up. But increased support also comes from the foam’s heat responsiveness. The visco elastic foam bed or topper softens at body temperature and makes up to 30% more body contact, thus improving weight distribution over a wider area.

• Higher density memory foam toppers are firmer because of the better quality resin used to make them. But this may not always be the case. You may come across firm, low density toppers.
• High density visco foam like the one used to make Tempurpedic beds perform better as long as their firmness reacts to body temperature and adjusts in order to improve weight distribution and relieve pressure.
