Spring Mattresses Vs. Foam Mattresses

While a spring mattress was the standard for many decades, foam mattresses are becoming more and more popular due to their unsurpassed comfort and overall body support. While spring mattresses can feel nice to sit or lay on, they will not offer anywhere close to the body contouring and therefore spinal support that memory or latex foam can offer. It will actually cause a trampoline effect and bend inward when pressure is applied without conforming to the specific bumps and curves of the body. While foam can shrink over time, springs can bend and lose their shape over time. Therefore, an old foam bed will likely feel better and offer better support than an old spring mattress.

Memory Vs. Latex Foam

Latex foam has a higher elasticity or resiliency than memory foam. The result is that latex will feel more springy and memory foam will feel more solid. Therefore, Memory foam will not push back up against your body upon pressure being applied to it. Many mattress companies are using both of these two materials to blend the perfect mattress combination. Rare allergies to latex can be triggered, but usually upon skin contact, and not usually not with the natural and synthetic latex mixes like Talay. (more…)

For a material to be Visco-elastic, it will have to be temperature sensitive and have an ability to rebound fairly quickly and return to its normal shape. Memory foam is graded by its visco-elastic nature and its durability by breaking it down into the following grading system:

1. Weight (Density in pounds per square foot):

- The weight of a foam is determined by the amount of chemicals used in the composition of the polyurethane foam. The more chemicals, the higher the density and the more visco-elastic it will become. This density will not determine the hardness of the material, this is done through utilizing the ILD rating structure. Many memory foam mattresses use a 4 and 5lb. density, but some use as low as 2 and 3lb. densities.

2. ILD Rating (Indentation Load Deflection):

- The ILD rating is going to tell you how hard or soft a material is. The 25% ILD rating is the number of pounds required to achieve a 25% compression of a 4″ thick foam using a 50 square inch indentation. An Example of this is as follows: 20lb. ILD foam indicates that this material took 20 lbs. of pressure to indent this foam 25%. Keep in mind that the higher the ILD, the firmer the foam.

Visco elastic foam is also known as “memory foam”, “viscous elastic foam”, “visco elastic memory foam” and “slow recovery foam”. If you have ever heard of visco elastic foam mattress and visco elastic foam pillows, it means that the mattress and pillows have both viscous and elastic characteristics when undergoing deformation.

In line with the fact that we have received so many earthly benefits from the Space Program, visco elastic foam and the memory foam mattress were invented by engineers at NASA in order to help astronauts better endure the almost unbearable g-forces they experience during space flight launches.

The traditional spring mattress fails where the visco elastic memory foam mattress succeeds because the springs that support the body cannot evenly and fluidly absorb and re-distribute the body’s weight. The visco foam mattress is more supportive and heavier than a traditional spring mattress. The foam molds to the curves in your body, providing you a better support on your whole body. Visco elastic memory foam mattresses also has the open cell structure which allows heat to dissipate faster than traditional foam mattresses. This will allow you to get a comfortable and uninterrupted sleep throughout the night.

How does memory foam work?

Memory foam conforms to the exact shape of the sleeper’s body. It is a very soft material and isn’t able to provide the support necessary, which is why it is often used as a topper on mattresses.

Foam has been used in mattresses for many years. It compresses under body weight and later springs back to its original shape. But memory foam mattresses just don’t compress; they mould to the shape of the sleeper’s body and they don’t spring immediately back into their original shape. The cells of a memory foam mattress employ an open cell structure, which means the cells of foam have holes in them. These compress fully and spread their air pressure to adjoining cells. This feature of memory foam is what really helps to reduce pressure points.

As well as yielding under weight, the cells of a memory foam mattress are heat sensitive; the more heat the more they compress. Temperature sensitivity helps the memory foam mattress to further conform to the exact shape of the sleeper’s body.

We’ve all been there. First, we spend a sleepless night, tossing and turning. Then we spend the next two days with body aches, sore from head to toe. The effects of a bad mattress can be serious.

Then we face the daunting prospect of shopping for a new mattress. This task can be a bit intimidating. There are so many different prices, sizes, styles, and firmness to choose from. They come in drastically different materials, as well. Mattresses can be filled with air, water, fabric, feathers, springs or foam. One of the most popular — especially for people suffering body pain — is the foam mattress.

Foam mattresses are popular because of their body-contouring nature. The foam literally reshapes to mold to the user’s body. This is designed to strategically place pressure where needed, while relieving the strain on other points. It is believed that this relieves pressure from the neck, spine, and lower back, eliminating much of the soreness and pain associated with regular mattresses.

The foam mattress is not entirely without drawbacks, though. Some people complain about the body-contouring nature that it’s famous for. (more…)
