Are you thinking about buying a memory
foam mattress? Memory Foam was invented in 1966 by scientists working
for NASA. They were trying to create a material that gave people in
airplanes and spacecraft a more comfortable ride and a cushier
landing, and what they came out with revolutionized the mattress and
pillow worlds. Because the material, scientifically called
viscoelastic polyurethane, literally molds itself to any warm object
resting on it and comes back to normal when the heat is removed, it
evenly distributes pressure- making people more comfortable- and can
be used again and again in any sleeping position. Nowadays, many
different brands offer what they claim to be the best of memory foam
technology. Some are inexpensive, some less so, and some cost as much
as a car! If you are feeling a bit lost in the advertisements and the
marketing, here’s a quick, aggregated review of the top brands
rated by other denizens of the Internet!
Sillhouette Memory Foam Mattress:
Sillhouette seems to have a lower than average price and spectacular reviews. With a 25 year warrantee, this mattress will last you a good portion of your life. This being said, the brand is a bit newer than others and it is not known whether or not they will last as long as they say. This being said, there is no reason to doubt it.

Tempurpedic:
Tempurpedic is perhaps the best known brand of memory foam mattresses, but does that mean it is the best? Certainly, it’s reputation has been hard won, right? Certainly, it is the most well-known for a reason? Well, that seems to be the case. It might be more expensive but, in this case, price definitely equates with quality.

Sleep Number:
Sleep number is the most expensive of the three brands being reviewed today. The mattress itself is probably the same quality as any number of Tempurpedic brands so, if you find the perfect Tempurpedic mattress, definitely go with that. This being said, the fact that Sleep Number is adjustable makes it perfect for people who just can’t find the right mattress for them.

Sleep Memoir Memory Foam Mattress:
This is by far the cheapest option on the block. Sold at Walmart, it is not at all a bad option. However, most of the reviews mention that it is a great mattress “For the price”. In other words, the reviewers got what they paid for. Sleep Memoir might be the most affordable, and it is definitely better than many other traditional mattresses, but if you are going for quality it is the lowest on this list.

Now that you’ve done some research on memory foam, which one will you get? There are many other brands on the market and the choice is yours! Get the best quality if you can afford it, but any one of these brands is a real steal. Memory foam helps people sleep better, and that is never a bad thing.
