Memory foam mattresses are the innovations in bedding. By using viscoelastic material in production of mattresses has improved sleep comfort, offered the best support, spine alignment and pressure relief. Here are reviews of the highest rated memory foam mattresses from the leaders.
Sealy TrueForm Mattress
Sealy mattresses have been consistently getting high ratings for a long time. The company is the world’s biggest producer of mattresses. Its mattresses range from mid- to high-end price range. They manufacture all kinds of mattresses, ranging right from Sealy Posturepedic – an inner-spring mattress designed as per orthopedic specifications to Sealy SpringFree –complete latex mattress. Though it was not the leader in use of viscoelastic foam but today has introduced its own version, known as the Sealy TrueForm. As with other viscoelastic mattresses the Sealy model has various layers that use a high-density foam core (not memory foam) with an upper layer of memory foam. Sealy claims that the inner-core of high-density foam offers the support while the upper layer of memory foam offers both support and comfort.
There are basically 3 kinds of Sealy TrueFoam mattress that you can select from: the 8 series, 9 series and 11 series - the number denotes the thickness of the mattress in inches. The 8 series has a 5″ of high-density foam in the middle and 3″ of memory foam in the upper layer. The 9 series has a 6″ of high-density foam in the middle and 3″ of upper layer. The 11 series has 6″ of high-density foam in the middle, a 3.5″ visco central layer and 1.5″ convoluted visco upper layer.
The best part of the Sealy TrueForm mattress is the washable, zip-off cover - the 11 series has a velour cover with included cashmere. Moreover all Sealy memory foam mattresses fit properly with the Sealy PowerBase, so you can list different positions and 2 massage units.
Simmons ComforPedic Mattress
Originally Simmons offer viscoelastic mattress, but today they make their own brand and even claim that they have introduced the ‘next generation’ of this kind of mattress. The major grouse against memory foam is the ’sinking feeling’ and hence unable to move freely as you lie down and it makes the sleeper hot due to the inability of body heat to evaporate rapidly. Simmons claims that their version of foam called NxG Advanced Memory Foam takes care of both these problems. But actually it has been just a minor reduction in quicksand feeling. There is no way to check about heat reduction. But the most prime opinion is that the Simmons ComforPedic mattress is cheaper as compared to a Tempur-Pedic mattress, though slightly softer and is good value for money.
Simmons manufactures the following models of ComforPedic mattresses: The Simmons ComforPedic Original - has a detachable, professionally dry-cleanable velour and suede cover; The Simmons Nassau - has an extra layer of latex; the Simmons ComforPedic Natural is the advanced one – it has a thicker layer or memory foam, an inner-layer of latex and the Simmons patented Edge Support System; the Simmons Mystere - has the thickest memory foam layer, otherwise it’s just like the ComforPedic Natural; the Simmons ComforPedic Nuvo - is the costliest one and fitted with the Simmons Nuvo bed and permits custom placing of the mattress, that can be programmed to wide variety of positions.
Tempur-Pedic Mattress
Tempur-Pedic mattresses were the first to use viscoelastic material while making a mattress. It solely makes memory foam mattresses and is the market leader. Its products are regarded as the benchmark, so that every producer compares their memory foam mattress with Tempur-Pedic. So, is the Tempur-Pedic the excellent memory foam mattress available? Opinions differ; while some attest their lifetime of backache disappeared after they slept on one, others state the mattress that wilts after just some time. Moreover the memory foam sold by Tempur-Pedic is a lot firmer than its rivals.
The company basically manufactured just one model of mattress, available in the regular standard sizes. Mostly due to market competition, it has today introduced many models, the last being the Tempur-Pedic CelebrityBed. It is the densest mattress available with additional 2″ Tempur pillow top - it is very costly, twice the price of the Classic Tempur-Pedic mattress; whether it is worth it is worth paying more is a lot debatable. Most consumers won’t even observe the ‘stated’ higher sleep benefits of the CelebrityBed over the Classic.
From these 3 brands, the Simmons mattress is least costly and the Tempur-Pedic the most expensive. Which of them give you a good night’s sleep is highly debatable. While few prefer softer mattresses others like firmer ones, moreover the price is also an important factor in selection. There is no way to the difference between one that is cheap and one that is expensive.
Of these, the Tempur-Pedic mattress (the Classic model) is the best, followed by Simmons ComforPedic Mattress (Nassau) and finally, Sealy TrueForm Mattress (11 series).
