By They say that behind a great man there is a great woman. Well, behind a great rest, there is a big mattress. Yes, a mattress, which is that stretch of ground that is on your bed as if it were protecting it from some being. The mattress is that accompanies us in our days of victory, and it is also the one that comforts us in those times which appear to be totally disastrous. It is the one who keeps our secrets, and the one who never lets us be lazy by giving complete rest us and welcomes us with open arms in all circumstances.
It is hard to describe exactly how and when the first mattresses appeared in the history of mankind, especially because they did not always had the appearance as they have today; in the distant past, sometimes a mattress was a simple cluster of leaves and covered with skins herbs, and then passed to the use of straw, to finish with a kind of bag that kept all these materials. However, it is known that from prehistory, through the great empires and movements, and being part of the lives of millions of historical figures, the mattress has always been present in the lives of human beings. A mattress remains in the lives of people for so many years and many people become greatly attached to them.
The mattresses have all colors as well as sizes. There were feathers, plant materials, wool, and in the modern times the material range of the mattresses has increased and now we also have water, foam, and the viscoelastic memory foam. For a person, for a couple, for a family or for those people who like to sleep together, there will always be a suitable size of the mattress that will meet your needs. And this is something that distinguishes the mattresses. Every brand offers a huge variety of materials, sizes and prices.
You can have the one you like most of whatever the brand is of your choice, but the main objective of a mattress is to help you have a sound sleep, being fully pleasurable. Now you have to consider the characteristics that will suit your needs as well as your financial means to make the decision of buying one.
Memory foam mattress is made up of exclusive foam. To prepare this material, synthetic foam and chemicals are mixed to make the product which has increase in its density weight. It means that every sq. ft. of memory foam is in a sense condensed to create a denser as well as a more viscous and elastic foam. Memory foam mattresses have become extremely popular as of late mainly due to the fact that there are several health benefits associated with them.
What this memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, provides is a memory mattress that contours to the natural curves of your body. Imagine lying flat on the floor, you will notice that certain parts of your body do not touch the floor. Your lower back for example is arched upward from the pressure from your upper back and buttocks. Your knees do not rest properly on the floor as well.
A memory foam mattress elevates these pressure points of stress by allowing your upper back to sink deeper into the dense foam as well as your buttocks, leaving the natural curve of your lower back supported against the mattress foam. This is why you hear so many people with back pain swearing by these types of beds, it is because these pressure points or stress points are relieved of any strain during sleep.
Whether you sleep on your back, side, or even on your stomach, the memory foam contours around every curve of your body, giving you the support you need, where you need it, without stress. Your shoulders and hips sink comfortably into the foam if you are a side sleeper allowing you to sleep restfully.
Another wonderful property of memory foam is that it has the elastic ability to form back to its original state. So after sleeping on it, the elastic properties allow it to return to a firm base. This same quality is what allows memory foam the ability to contour naturally and give support around the natural curves of your body. To sleep on a mattress made of memory foam has been described as sleeping on a cloud. It makes you feel completely relaxed as you sink into the foam, being cradled softly to sleep. Many people with aches and pains prefer by memory foam, and wish they made the change from a conventional spring mattress to a memory mattress sooner.
