Decoding Memory Foam, And How It Promotes Better Sleep

A good night’s sleep is important for both physical and mental fitness. But most of us who suffer from poor sleep are unaware that our mattresses cause disturbed sleep, shoulder and back pain, etc. It’s time you invested in a memory foam mattress for optimum comfort and good health.

What is memory foam?

Also known as ‘visco-elastic foam’, memory foam is a special kind of material first developed by NASA in the 1960s. It was used to protect astronauts from the extreme changes in environmental pressure as they entered or exited the Earth’s atmosphere. Made of polyurethane, memory foam was not industrially used till the late 1980s, when its application in products like pillows, mattress toppers and mattresses became widely known.

How does it promote good sleep?

Memory foam is highly absorbent and quite soft. These properties are useful when crafting memory foam mattresses – the foam moulds in response to the user’s body heat and pressure. Thus, the user’s body weight is evenly distributed as they sleep. Since it conforms to the user’s weight and body contours, it provides a blissful, cushioned sensation when one sleeps. The foam regains its original shape and form when the user leaves the bed.

Memory foam mattresses are useful in absorbing impact, and in offering relief and support from a variety of body pains and aches. It is the most important element in your bedroom if you’re looking for a comfortable night’s rest free from mattress lumping, overheating and sagging.

This mattress also does not respond to differential pressure, i.e. it absorbs differing pressures on either side of the bed. If one of the users is a restless sleeper, their tossing and turning in the night will not wake the other person up because the mattress does not move evenly.

Thus, this type of mattress helps you sleep well, promotes healing and also keeps you in good health over the long run.

How to get the right memory foam mattress for your home

We recommend investing in memory foam mattresses for both your bed and your kids’. Every person in the house deserves good sleep, and this mattress keeps spinal alignment intact as well – this is important for both adults and children.

• Look up memory foam mattresses from leading mattress retailers in the UAE.
• Check the exact dimensions of your bed and that of your kids’. The mattress must fit the bed perfectly, or it will either overhang from the sides or move around the bed frame when you sleep.
• Once you know the bed dimensions, you can look up the right sizes of mattress on the retailer’s portal.
• Check the mattress dimensions, make, warranty, and brand. A combination of these factors will decide its price. You can try and shop during festive sale season to get a better bargain, or ask for a discount if you are buying two or more mattresses.
• Memory foam mattresses might seem more expensive at first. However, the best online stores offer either a 5- or 10-year warranty. During this time, the mattress pays for itself many times over! You must also offset the cost by counting the health benefits of using the mattress, which will save you from doctor’s bills and lingering aches and pains.
• Once you make your choice(s), add the mattress to your cart and continue shopping for other items like mattress toppers and pillows. After your cart is full, proceed to checkout and pay for your purchases online.
• Leading mattress stores in UAE deliver the products to your house in 3 or 4 working days. You can track the package or get in touch with customer support for any queries.
• In view of the COVID-19 situation, leading stores are taking customer and delivery team safety quite seriously. The mattress will be sanitised prior to delivery, and the team will unbox and install it in your bed – or instruct you on how to unbox it yourself – and sanitise any surfaces they may have touched.

We hope you find the right mattress for your bed, so that you may enjoy several years of blissful, uninterrupted sleep free of body pain. This is an investment you owe to your own mental and physical wellbeing.
