Let's Compare Memory Foam Mattress Toppers

compare memory foam mattress toppersYou have seen them in every publication from Newsweek to Vogue Magazine: the Tempurpedic mattress topper or the Isotonic mattress pad ads . These national advertizments show someone reclining on a visco foam mattress pad looking very comfortable. You must have wondered: "How do you compare one memory foam mattress topper to another?"

First we must ask: What is a pillow top mattress cover?

A visco foam mattress pad is composed of "memory foam" and is placed on top of a regular mattress, hence the nick name "topper". This 100% visco foam mattress pad gives added comfort and luxury due to the unique properties of memory foam. The memory in the foam holds or remembers the body's impression. This cradling of the body by the memory foam provides extra relief from pressure points so you sleep more soundly with less tossing and turning. No wonder everyone is buying them! A pillow top mattress cover turns a regular mattress into a deeply comfortable and divine sleep experience.

And you don't need to pay big dollars for the nationally advertised Tempurpedic mattress topper.

Tempurpedic ® is a brand name, as is the Isotonic mattress pad. The tempurpedic mattress topper is sold by Tempurpedic ® and the Isotonic mattress pad is sold by Carpenter Company. Though these are the two major national brand names it is possible to purchase a pillow top mattress cover of equal quality at a fraction of the price.

How can you tell a quality pillow top mattress cover or how do we compare memory foam mattress toppers?

The visco foam mattress pad should be made of 100% memory foam and be either 4 pound density or 5 pound density. The memory foam that is 3 pound density or less is too much like regular polyurethane foam and is often made in China. It doesn't have the exceptional properties of higher quality memory foam. This cheaper memory foam is usually sold in big department stores. Higher density memory foam, such as 4 and 5 pound density, has the cradling effect of high quality memory foam and relieves pressure points.

The 5 pound density memory foam is found in the tempurpedic mattress topper and in our 3 inch and 4 inch Sensus memory foam. 5 pound density memory foam is considered the most luxurious visco foam mattress pad. And the foam is more durable. But some people find the 5 pound a little stiff or firm.

The 4 pound density memory foam is found in the isotonic mattress pad and in our 2 inch and 3 inch Memor Rest memory foam mattress toppers. The 4 pound density is also used in our Cool Max pillow top mattress cover. When we compare one memory foam topper to another we find the 4 pound density memory foam to be slightly softer then the 5 pound. The 4 pound density memory foam mattress toppers are known to give the cloud nine experience or a sensation of floating on the bed.

The 3 pound density memory foam or less will not have the unique memory foam properties of the 4 or 5 pound density as mentioned above.
