The Ultimate Guide To Memory Foam Mattresses
Ellie Macsymons·Jun 8, 2021
If you find your sleeping pattern is often disturbed or you regularly wake up with aches and pains you may require a new mattress. Many of us underestimate how important mattresses are to our body’s daily functioning, our mood and our overall health. In fact, bad mattresses are one of the main causes of sleep deprivation and body aches and pains for many people. It is advised that you change your mattress every 7 years however, some of the latest and most modern designs we have uncovered claim to last up to a decade.
In the past, the most popular type of mattress was always the pocket sprung; however, over the past decade new memory foam hybrid technology mattresses have become more and more favoured. Originally designed by NASA for astronauts in space, these mattresses use innovative material that moulds to the contours of your body. Many of these modern designs also arrive vacuum packed or rolled up and come with a 100-night trial when you buy online. All of the mattresses we’ve researched that use this new memory foam hybrid technology have received outstanding reviews from even the fussiest of sleepers making them the go to option for customers all over the world.
