Have you been sleeping on the same mattress for more than 10 years? Do you have a lot of back pain? Well your mattress could be the culprit of your pain. You need to go shopping! Below are a few tips that might help you while shopping for a new mattress.

When you go mattress buying you need to find the mattress that best fits you and what you are comfortable on. Your comfort is what is most important. If you are comfortable you will relax and get a good night sleep but if you are not comfortable you will toss and turn all night long resulting in a hurting back in the morning.

First you must decide if you want a firm mattress meaning a mattress that will not give. A plush mattress is softer than firm mattress and is a great middle of the road mattress. A plush mattress can be very comfy but not to where you sink into the mattress. A pillow top mattress is one that you sink deep into. When you go to the store lay down on each type of mattress that they have to get an idea what it feels like. Make your choice after trying the mattress out. Once you have the mattress at home you need to take good care of it.

There are several ways to take care of your mattress so that you can have that mattress for years. First of all you need to put a protective pad on the mattress to keep it clean and free of stains. Putting a waterproof pad on your mattress can help protect it from children and pets. You should air out you mattress for a day or so once at least month to help odors from settling in. Never clean your mattress with anything but a vacuum cleaner unless you have to tackle a stain. Use mild soap and cold water on stains. Never walk, jump or fold your mattress, this will cause damage to the mattress as well as a possible injury to you.

Mattress buying can be fun yet very important to your body. Find the right mattress for you and take care of it so that you have it for many years to come. There is nothing more important after a hard day of life laying down in a comfortable bed and getting a good night sleep. Your body, mind and soul will thank you.

Memory Mattress

There are many people who suffer from various sleeping disorders. These disorders are primarily caused by anxiety and tension which is very common in today’s fast moving world. However these sleeping disorders are also caused by the use of poor quality bed mattress. The bed is the place where we choose to sleep upon. So a bed with a proper mattress will automatically relax our nerves and bring in a good sleep. The Memory Mattress made of foam provides total relief to the tired muscles and joints unlike the traditional spring coil mattress.
We are very stringent to changes and like to stick to the traditional items and commodities. Likewise in most of the houses people still use the old spring coil mattress.

But the launch of the Memory Mattress in the market way back in the 1990s has gathered huge response because of its viscosity and temperature sensitivity. The Memory Mattress stands out in respect to the traditional coil mattress because they conform to our body and curves along body lines, whereas the spring coil mattress makes our body conform to it. The spring coils exerts pressure against our body and this results in back pain, arthritis and many other postural disorders.

Moreover, the Memory Mattress does not put the same amount of resistance on joints as traditional bedding. Memory foam can leave us well rested and practically pain free in the morning. Nonetheless, the Memory Mattress is denser than traditional spring coil mattress. It is available in different densities. The 5lb density is more temperature sensitive, heavier, often stiffer and takes longer to bounce back. While 4lb density is softer, less temperature sensitive, less expensive but provides less support than the 5lb. Whether it is 4lb or 5lb memory foam density, it doesn't bounce so when two persons are sleeping on the same bed, if one person rolls over it won’t disturb the other person.

Besides, the Memory mattress responds to the temperature of the body which means that it gets softer when it is warm and harder when it is cold. The body warmth softens the immediate area of foam and moulds to take the shape of the body which then offers support to all areas and generally makes the bed more comfortable. Thus a person having fever will feel more comfortable in a Memory Mattress than in a spring coil mattress which does not react to the temperature of the body. These foam mattresses were first advanced for medical causes. The foam used in the Memory Mattress was used in hospitals as a sleeping aid as it was found that patients slept better on woke up with lesser pain.

However, with the passage of time the demand of this mattress has heightened and now it is made available in households, office furniture’s, car seats, infant cribs, computer carrying cases and many more.

The various advantages of Memory Mattress have helped it to gain a consistent market. They have gained popularity among everyone. They guarantee total comfort and relaxation to the body. A sound sleep enables a person to regain energy and resume his work the next day.
