Alright, Tony, are you ready to do our best memory foam mattress review? I sure
am. I even wrote it on my bag of memory foam so I wouldn't forget.
Wait, your what? It's my bag
of memory foam. I use it so I don't forget things. Isn't that we use
memory foam for? I use memory foam to sleep on, just like all
the mattresses we're about to talk about. Okay, well then let me test your
memory real quick. Where can people find the written reviews for all these?
Mattressclarity.com. And where
can people find the coupons to save money on all these mattresses? In the
description box below. Okay, so do you, like, pay for premium memory foam? Is
that what you're doing? No, I just work out my memory foam every day.
Oh, okay. Got you.
Speaking of remembering, here are some things to keep in mind when buying a
memory foam mattresses. You've got to think about your beds firmness level.
Here a Mattress Clarity. We use a scale that goes from one to ten,
with six and a half representing the industry standard for
medium firm beds. You also want to think about your sleeping position.
Side sleepers will love memory foam mattresses because they provide great
pressure relief for their shoulders and their hips. Back sleepers will get some
body contouring and stomach. Sleepers need a firm foam mattresses?
Totally. You also want to think about any sort of cooling features
that you might need. Memory foam beds have a tendency to trap
heat, so if you already sleep hot at night, look for something that
has an infusion in it or something made out of aerated memory
foam. All right, with that, let's get into our top pick.
Heck yeah.
Let's kick things off strong with our Editor's pick, The Nectar
mattress. The Nectar mattress makes a lot of our best of lists,
and for good reason. Here at Mattress Clarity, we have a firmness
scale that goes from one to ten, with six and a half being medium firm,
which is what we rated The Nectar at. It's going to be a great pick
for back and side sleepers. It's full of that classic slow
moving memory foam, so you're really going to sink into the top layer of this
mattress and get great body contouring and pressure relief in your shoulders and
your hips. Couples should look into getting The Nectar mattress because it
isolates motion really well. This just means if you're sharing your
bed with a partner, you shouldn't feel them change positions or getting
out of bed during the night. Finally, the best foam mattresses just a super
affordable pick. So if you're on a bit of a budget, definitely look into it.
If you're a combination sleeper, you might want something especially Lux.
Enter the WinkBeds Gravity Lux mattress.
This bed comes in at seven out of ten on our firmness scale,
which is just a half a point higher than the industry standard of medium firm.
This means you get some extra lumbar support, which is fantastic
for back sleepers, but it still has a nice plush
comfort layer, so when you rest on your side, you'll get that pressure relief
that you need. This bed works really well for lightweight, stomach sleepers
as well, and I love that it has a balanced foam feel,
so you get a touch of body contouring, but plenty of support.
All-foam? Innerspring? Hybrid? Sometimes there are just lots
of choices when picking a mattress. Helix is a company that has a
lot of different mattresses, too, but they have a quiz that will match you to
your perfect bed here at Mattress Clarity. Though we love the Helix
Midnight, it is a seven out of ten on our firmness scale,
making it a great pick for back sleepers. And side sleepers should love it too,
because it has a thick layer of memory foam in its comfort layer. This is
Helix's proprietary Memory Plus foam, and it's going to provide great body
contouring for bad sleepers and pressure relief in your shoulders and your hips.
If you're sleeping on your side at the bottom, you're going to find sturdy coils
that have tons of room for airflow, so you shouldn't sleep too hot on this
mattress. If you want even more bells and whistles, like a quilted top or
a zone support system, opt for the Helix Midnight Luxe.
If you're a hot sleeper like me, you might also need a cooling
mattress that's super luxe. We're talking about
the GhostBed Luxe here. This mattress is surrounded
by Ghost Ice fabric, which is similar to phase change
material, and it actually feels cool to the touch and helps lower your
body temperature to make you even cooler at night. It's got a layer of
gel infused memory foam, which helps pull heat away from the body.
This bed feels slightly softer than average, coming in at
six out of ten, so you're going to get a little bit of that slow
moving memory foam feel.
We can't make a best of memory foam list without mentioning the company
that started it all couple should look at Tempur-Pedic's Tempur-Cloud mattress
because it's full of that classic slow moving memory foam.
It is a six and a half out of ten on our firmness scale
making it that classic medium firm. Couples will love the temperature because it
isolates motion really well, which again, just means you shouldn't feel your
partner move around or get in and out of bed for an all foam bed.
This also features really good edge support, meaning you can utilize
every inch of this mattress. Tempur-Pedic was
the first company to utilize memory foam in their bed, so when we talk about
that classic slow moving feel, this is what we mean. You're really going
to sink into this bed. Inside, sleepers should not feel any pressure
in their shoulder and their hips while they sleep.
Next up, the memory foam mattresses that side sleepers will collect
for. We're talking about the Layla.
This flippable mattress has a soft side and a firm side.
The soft side feels like a six out of ten on our firmness scale,
and it works really well for side sleepers. The firm side
feels like an eight out of ten on our firmness scale, and it's best for
back and stomach sleepers. Another great thing about this bed are its
cooling features. It's got copper infused gel
in the mattress, which helps pull heat away from the body,
and it's antimicrobial. Plus you can't forget about that thermogel
and the cover to help lower your body temperature.
Back sleepers, I have a friendly mattress for you.
I'm not sure where our friendly
ghost is, but anyway, the Casper mattress is going to be
a back sleeper's dream. It is a seven out of ten on our firmness
scale, making it just a little bit firmer than medium firm. But back sleepers
are going to love this mattress because it features zone support, meaning it's
going to feel firmer in the center and softer towards the head and the feet.
Being firmer in the center means it's going to provide really good lumbar
support and will keep your spine in a neutral alignment while you sleep.
It can even help with back pain, too. It's going to have a
balanced foam feel, meaning you're going to sink in just a little bit into it,
but it's still responsive enough that you can change positions easily.
It's also not going to sleep too hot because it features Casper's proprietary
Airscape foam, which is ventilated for airflow and designed to not
trap heat.
No need to spin an arm and a leg on a new mattress. The DreamFoam
Chill is both comfy and affordable.
This bed has a firmness level of seven out of ten, so it's slightly firmer.
It works really well for back sleepers and lightweight
stomach sleepers. Plus, it's got a gel swirl
comfort layer, which helps pull heat away from the body. You're not going to
trap body heat like you might on other memory foam beds,
but best of all, this mattress costs about $500
for a Queen. That is a great price. Y'all.
Still got questions about memory foam mattresses? Here are some of the most
frequently asked questions that we get about them. First question, what are
the pros and cons to memory foam mattresses? Starting with the
Pros, they are really good at providing pressure relief and even helping with
joint pain too. They do this by providing really good body contouring,
meaning they shape to your body, so that's how they help out. Some of
the cons though, is that not all memory foam mattresses are designed to sleep
cool. Sometimes they can trap heat, so if you're in especially hot sleeper,
keep that in mind. Our best memory foam mattresses good for your back well,
honestly, it has more to do with the firmness level that will help
your back rather than the material. So if you are a back
or a side sleeper, medium firm mattresses work best.
But if you're a stomach sleeper, make sure you get an especially
foam mattresses. Last question do foam mattresses need a
box spring? Well, not typically. Some of them are designed
to work with adjustable bases so you definitely don't need one there. Of course
box rings can add support and help extend the lifespan
of your mattress, but as long as you keep a foam bed off the floor
you'll be fine. Remember, you can find all of these reviews
and some coupons@mattressclarity.com because you don't
want to suffer from memory foam like
that. I am Queen Elsa.
