It is easy to get confused while shopping for your memory foam mattress.It is easy to get a little confused when shopping for a memory foam bed. There are so many new terms and options available that it can be a real challenge. The three things you will want to be familiar with when shopping are thickness, density, and temperature sensitivity.

Knowing a little about each of these can allow you to choose the perfect memory foam product. Temperature sensitivity is not a feature on all memory foam mattresses. That is unfortunate as it is one of the most important features of memory foam. The memory foam will not be as comfortable without it. If at all possible purchase a memory foam mattress that is temperature sensitive you will be very glad you did.

This features enables the mattress to absorb some of you body heat and soften up to support the key problem areas of your body. When shopping for a memory foam mattress look for a model with a large enough layer of actual memory foam on top. It is best to have one with at least three and a half inches of memory foam. When the layer of memory foam is too thin the mattress is much less comfortable.

When looking at memory foam mattresses you will also need to think about density. The density of memory foam refers to the weight of the mattress per cubic foot. There is no clear consensus as to the ideal density of memory foam. Many retailers will try to sell you on memory foam with a 3 pound density range.

Most people find they get better support for their hips, shoulders, and back when their mattress has a density of between 5.0 lbs and 5.9 lbs. Denser products will usually not be as comfortable. Whatever memory foam product you select be sure that it comes with a warranty. You can expect a high quality memory foam mattress to have a warranty of around 20 to 25 years.
