There is no short or easy answer to that question.
Memory foam mattresses can be better for many people, and they can be well worth the extra investment in a quality one.
They will usually last for years and improve sleep.
Alternatively, they can be a poor choice if they do not suit your sleeping habits or the density of the material is not sufficient to conform to your body or too dense so that you sink into it.
Memory foam mattresses are constructed of open cell PU foam along with more common types of foam to help provide extra support and heat sensitivity.
This unique foam layer is usually found on the upper side (the top layer) of the mattress 99.
9% percent of the time, and is critical to the comfort, so too is the density which actually is expressed in the number of pounds per square inch it supports comfortably.
3" - 3.
5" memory foam on top of the mattress base is standard and if it is of suitable density, it can provide a very good mattress for most people and give them the quality sleep advertised.
However if a person is heavier than average then the pressure they place on the mattress could cause them to shift and bottom out so that they are not enjoying the true benefits of the memory foam and in turn this could actually cause sleep disruption.
The simple answer is to ensure that the memory layer is thicker than standard.
This may be slightly more expensive but in terms of sleep comfort for a person who is over around 225 lbs but can provide the quality of sleep for which these type of mattresses are known.
Higher density memory foam will cost more but the benefits in ability to endure and to support a greater weight.
The density will also affect how the overall mattress feels.
If you know already what feels right, a medium, plushy, or very firm mattress, you have a good start on selecting the right type of memory foam mattress (yes, there will be more than one you may find super comfy).
Many of the negative factors people reported with these mattresses were experienced in the beginning of the technology and since have been eliminated.
Such problems you may have heard of as being uncomfortably hot.
Memory foam mattresses really can be as good as the hype and advertising for them says.
However, as with any mattress you have to choose your size, type and thickness based on your sleeping habits, body types and any physical or sleep problems you have.
Investing in a good quality, well made memory foam mattress can make the difference between a heavenly night's sleep and dissatisfaction with your new purchase.
