    On One Hand: Reported Issues

    Miracle foam mattresses, also called memory foam, tend to be expensive compared to standard beds. Another issue with the mattress is, because it remembers your sleeping position, it may be hard to turn over or make other movements during the night. This type of mattress also has a distinct odor that may bother people, especially if the person has allergies.

    On the Other: Advantages of Buying

    For people with back or neck injuries or diseases the miracle foam mattress can keep the head and neck in place during the night, reducing risk of injuring these areas while sleeping. You don't need to flip miracle foam mattresses, as you must do with standard mattresses.

    Bottom Line

    Test the mattress before buying it, either in a store or with an in-home trial. Ask how long the warranty lasts and what it includes. Ask for an odor-free mattress.

    Sleep Posture

    *

    The memory foam mattress can dramatically decrease chronic back and neck pain in many sleepers. The memory foam mattress better aligns with your body's shape more than a coil mattress would, reducing pressure point problems, and according to Memory Foam Information, it can realign the spine, neck, hips, and lesson chronic respiratory conditions by correcting breathing during sleep.

    The downside to the memory foam mattress is that it does not conform well to a petite frame (any person weighing under 100 pounds) because the body is too light for moulding to take effect. The mattress can become too firm if room temperatures are too cool. Unfortunately, the memory foam mattress do not have an adjustable option.

    Durability

    *

    The disadvantage to the memory foam's is that its durability does not last as long as a regular coil mattress. Because of its high density composition, the memory foam wears out quicker, and on average, needs to be replaced every five to eight years.

    One the other hand, the memory foam is highly resilient, making it better able to withstand and neutralize motion better during sleep.

    Expense

    *

    The memory foam can be relatively expensive, ranging in price from $1000 to $2500, and can be even higher depending on brand and size. The investments can be worthwhile, like a reduction in chiropractic and medical expenses from back and breathing problems associated from poor sleeping posture. Even though the memory foam mattress has exceptional health benefits, its durability is lower than other mattresses, causing more investments to go into maintenance or a full out mattress replacement. Ask about any money back guarantees or warranties before investing in memory foam mattress.
