Relative to the whole mattress, memory foam mattress toppers are the most expensive part so it is important to try and get the highest quality memory foam topper for the price. There are many models and manufacturers to choose from but generally it is better to stick with the higher density foams that are above 4.5 pounds. The denser the foam the more durable and longer lasting the support and resistive quality of the topper. Avoid toppers that are too thin. One and two inch toppers will not allow you to sink far enough into the memory foam before encountering the support layer. When this happens you will have far too many pressure points for the mattress to remain comfortable for you. Generally a 3 inch topper is suitable for most people and if you are above 200 pounds then get 4 inches to be on the safe side.

Memory foam has very specific characteristics that have historically made it a very popular choice for use as bedding products.  The correct name for the foam is actually visco-elastic foam.  This name was meant to reflect the thick liquid like characteristics of the foam, but it was overtaken by the term memory foam, which people found it easier to relate to.

The foam exhibits elastic behaviour.  When warmed it becomes soft, flexible and pliable, but when left to cool the foam returns to its original shape.  Lying on the foam warms it which results in it moulding itself around the body lying on it.  Areas which are not warm remain firm and unaffected by the weight of the person lying on it.  Memory foam mattresses, pillows and the memory foam mattress topper are ideal product making full use of the foam’s partciular physical characteristics.

Being able to lie on the foam without creating pressure points is one of the real benefits of these products.  By supporting every part of the body in contact with the foam the body is very evenly supported.  Once used the sleeper will usually awake to find they have had a great nig

hts sleep.  They feel rested and rejeuvenated and ready to take on anything.  The sleep is also good as the person has not tossed and turned as much as with more traditional sleeping surfaces.

By using memory foam in particular bedding products such as the memory foam mattress topper, or memory foam pillows you really are able to significantly improve your night time sleeping experience.
