What is a memory foam mattress?

Features of a memory foam mattress

A memory foam mattress with cover, also called memory foam mattress plus cover, adapts individually to every sleeping position. Especially mattress items with memory foam are excellently suited for sleeping because they perfectly conform to the body contours and the spine. Sleeping on beds has never been so enjoyable in terms of lying comfort. We will clarify all questions regarding the topic of memory foam mattress below. The orthopedic comfort is particularly suitable for people and bodies who desire a particularly high-quality lying comfort in their beds. The viscoelastic effect of the memory foam mattress acts point-elastic, supporting the body and spine ideally. Therefore, memory foam mattresses with memory effect are particularly suitable for side sleepers, as the pressure is particularly on the side, such as on the shoulders and neck. An ideal pressure relief in bed can be achieved with a memory foam mattress with visco foam for sleep. Achieve the best sleep comfort while sleeping with the memory foam mattress. Take the test today to sleep perfectly from now on.

Memory foam mattress made of visco foam: What is visco foam?

Memory foam mattresses are made of visco foam. Visco is a material that is very popular among mattress manufacturers because it creates a completely new sleeping experience compared to other mattresses. Visco foam can be found in mattress items, topper items (viscoelastic mattress topper), and pillow products. The special properties, such as ideal body adaptation, make the use of visco as a material for various bedding and mattresses perfect. But what exactly is visco? Visco is a material known for its "viscous" properties. Visco foam has many names, such as memory foam (memory foam), visco memory foam (memory foam), or is sometimes simply referred to as the memory effect. What the memory effect is, we will explain in the following section. Back to visco as a material itself. It was originally developed for space research due to its high quality that provides pressure relief. Advisors recommend visco mattresses because they are perfectly suited for people with back problems. Whether for a box spring bed or multiple box spring beds - a visco mattress fits on any slatted frame due to its shape on every slatted frame. A memory foam mattress with visco material provides no counterpressure to the body and ensures beds plus bedding cover for a perfectly ideal comfort effect.

Memory foam mattress made of visco material and cold foam material of a cold foam mattress

Cold foam mattress made of cold foam and visco? Yes, this combination is often encountered when one is willing to buy a visco mattress (memory foam mattress). Since a memory foam mattress requires counter-pressure for sleeping in bed and one does not want to experience back pain because the body and spine sag, there is a supportive cold foam material layer in memory foam mattresses. This pays off in price, not only for health but also for comfort. It has been recognized through test phases that cold foam in a cold foam mattress perfectly supports the back of the body while sleeping in bed (e.g. box spring bed) due to the zoned structure (7 zones or 5 zones). Cold foam in a cold foam mattress with lying zones (either 5 zones or 7 zones for lying zones) provides the necessary counter-pressure for the body during sleep. Alternatively, manufacturers also use pocket spring material (as used in spring mattresses) to support the memory foam. To correctly position the spine in an orthopedic way and also to bring the body into a good orthopedic position while sleeping, according to the above information, a cold foam material base or a sub-material made of pocket springs is mandatory. Visco foam of a memory foam mattress has viscoelastic properties that cause the shape of the mattress to adapt to the body and return to its original shape when relieved. If you want to buy a memory foam mattress online in a shop, inform yourself about the number of zones and the distribution of the lying zones in addition to the price, to achieve an ideal sleeping position while sleeping in bed (in a box spring bed) or other beds (perhaps box spring beds?).

Memory foam with memory effect: What is the memory effect?

The memory effect is an effect that occurs in every visco material, such as a visco mattress topper or memory foam pillows. Memory foam is based on a thermoelastic principle that elevates sleeping comfort to a new level. It ensures that the visco material adapts precisely to the body lying on it. These viscoelastic properties offer many advantages to the body for individuals. Compared to other mattresses, visco with the memory effect can do something that other products cannot. Memory foam (memory foam) with memory effect is also referred to as shape memory polymer because it reacts to body heat as well as pressure. In technical terms, it is also called the plaster effect because the shape (for example, from the hand of a side sleeper) remains on the mattress surface for a short time before the visco of the memory foam mattress returns to its original shape after a few seconds. The memory effect of memory foam ensures the perfect sleeping position in every sleeping position. Suitable for people with circulation disorders as well as suitable for people with back pain at night plus side sleepers.

Memory foam mattress and suitable slatted frame

Anyone who wants to buy a memory foam mattress must also get a suitable slatted frame, or if they don't want to buy one, use the existing one. But which slatted frame is suitable for a memory foam mattress made of visco material with memory effect? The good thing is that actually all slatted frame models are suitable for a memory foam mattress and fit. Only the material of the support core should be considered, and based on that, the slatted frame should be purchased. For a mattress with a cold foam core, both an electric, rigid, or adjustable slatted frame fits. Therefore, many different models are suitable, which can be bought anywhere if one does not already have one in their bed. For a mattress with a pocket spring core (like in spring mattresses), a slatted frame must be bought that is not too adjustable to avoid impairing comfort while lying down.

Memory foam mattress: Advantages of the memory effect

The memory effect of memory foam (memory foam) is very advantageous in a memory foam mattress due to its properties. No matter the size, the memory effect makes real sleep dreams come true in every sleeping position. The density is set very high in a visco mattress, which speaks for a long lifespan. The density is an important criterion for purchasing, as it says a lot about the product's quality. Not only the density and the perfect firmness level can be found in a memory foam mattress, but also in visco pillows and products like toppers (mattress pads). Take the test and compare, for example, with a 30-day trial sleep test, whether the memory foam mattress is right for you. This is why we at Mister Sandman offer a 30-day trial sleep to test the mattress on your bed and let you be convinced by the materials.

Advantages of memory foam mattress with memory effect:

  • Foam adapts individually to the body
  • Pressure is absorbed (suitable for side sleepers, people with back problems, or those with pressure sensitivity)
  • High density (high mattress quality)
  • For people who prefer a warm sleeping climate

Memory foam mattress: Disadvantages of the memory effect

A disadvantage of the memory effect are the properties that can also be seen as advantages. With the memory effect, the visco foam in a mattress topper, pillow, or mattress takes some time to react to the temperature. The material therefore needs some time to adapt to the body individually. Active sleepers, who move more in beds during sleep and therefore change their sleeping position more often, may find the memory effect rather unfavorable for them. The self-test, best done by trying out the mattress, will show how well the visco mattress with memory foam is suited for you. Take the self-test, for example, check out the Mister Sandman online shop, where you can buy a memory foam mattress at a fair price that is really affordable.

Memory foam mattress: Viscos or latex – which mattress is better suited?

1. Memory foam mattress made of memory foam (visco)

A memory foam mattress is suitable for people who have a body weight between 50 to 130 kg. It can support more weight than a latex mattress made of latex. People who desire a custom body adjustment while sleeping rely on the visco material and order and purchase a memory foam mattress made of memory foam. The combination of memory foam (visco foam) and cold foam of a cold foam mattress provides additional support. The larger the visco mattress topper as a material layer in this item, the deeper the body can sink perfectly, and as an orthopedic mattress, it has an even better effect on comfort.

2. Latex mattress made of latex material

Both the latex mattress made of latex and the visco memory foam mattress (memory foam) are suitable for people who are side sleepers. It is more suitable than visco mattresses for people who often change their sleeping position and sweat more at night. Therefore, a latex mattress made of latex is recommended for people who are active sleepers. Latex can be produced in both synthetic form and as natural latex in the form of natural rubber. Latex mattresses have a high density, especially the natural latex mattresses. If one does not want to miss out on the unique comfort and quality, one can also choose a latex mattress made of latex instead of a visco mattress.
