  • Memory foam mattresses, such as those made by Tempur-Pedic, are made from polyurethane foam, which molds to the body while sleeping. Since coming onto the market in the 1990s, this alternative to the traditional inner-spring mattress has been gaining popularity for its numerous sleep benefits.

    Comfort

    Memory foam mattresses have a reputation for providing exceptionally comfortable sleep that makes the sleeper feel as if he or she is hovering above the bed.

    Pressure Point Relief

    Memory foam conforms to the body, spreading pressure over a larger area to provide greater support to weight-bearing body parts.

    Temperature Sensitivity

    Adjusting in firmness according to subtle temperature changes, memory foam is firmer in colder temperatures and softer in warmer temperatures.

    Minimal Disturbance

    With memory foam mattresses, one partner isn't affected by the movement of another during sleep.

    Durability

    Memory foam tends to last longer than inner-spring mattresses, which break down over time. Also, memory foam is thought to be more resistant to bacteria and pests.
