Advantages: MOULDS TO YOUR BODY INCREASING BLOOD CIRCULATION

Disadvantages: CAN BE WARMER THAN STANDARD MATTRESSES

Memory foam is a type of foam that moulds to the body following the natural contours. This allows your body to relax and it helps the blood flow easily through your viens as there are no pressure points to restrict the flow. As a result of this you tend not to toss and turn so much during the night giving you a more resful nights sleep. This foam was discovered by Nasa and they still use it for their astronaughts. The first make of mattress was Tempur.
I have recently purchased a memory foam mattress Topper and would not go back to a standard type ever again. I could not believe how comfortable the mattress felt and had the best night sleep ever. When I first lay on the mattress it felt quite hard but as my body heated the foam it started to mould to my body. I also use a memory foam pillow which has been harder to get used to, but once you are used to it you won't go back to a normal pillow.
I have read reviews that do state that memory foam takes a while to get used to but this wasn't the case for me.
The foam mattress arrived tightly packed and quarter of the eventual size. You have to let them stand for 8 hours for them to fully expand. There is an odour with them at first (not horrible) but distinctive, a bit like surgical spirit mixed with rubber. This smell goes though so don't be put off by it.
There are many on the market at the moment and you can get them at all leading stores and ebay and they range from £100 (double size) to £300. The heavier the density the more expensive. I have read that 4cm is enough to give you complete support, as even thicker toppers or full size mattresses do not depress more than this anyway.
You may find you need a lighter tog quilt as they are warmer than a standard mattress and if you overheat at night these are probably not for you, as they do hold in the heat.
I hope this review is useful to you and thanks for reading it.

Summary: EXCELLENT INVESTMENT - WE SPEND A QUARTER OF OUR LIVES ASLEEP!!!
