Surprising advantages of a memory foam pillow

Less known benefits of a memory foam pillow: Traditional (or viscoelastic) memory foam is the most widely available variety of the material. It is polyurethane-based, and categorized as a type of polyfoam. Plant-based memory foam is manufactured using a combination of petrochemicals and botanical ingredients. Plant-based foam layers are designed in an open-cell configuration, making them more breathable and cooler for sleeping than standard memory foams. Mattress composition: Many foams are made from flame retardants and other chemicals. While these materials are generally regarded as safe, they are not necessarily eco-friendly. Plant-based foams or foams certified by organizations like CertiPUR-US are considered somewhat better for the environment.

Casper is probably the best-known name in the world of bed-in-a-boxes. For a long time, you could only get their flagship mattress over here, while in the states they started offering newer versions. But we’re catching up, with both the hybrid (also reviewed here) and the essential model, which is a great option for those who want all the benefits of a stable, comfortable and long-lasting mattress, without the hefty price-tag. We couldn’t fault this three-layer foam mattress when it comes to breathability, which stops you getting too hot, and you can move around without much effort or disturbing your partner. All this and yet it supports you in all the right places, even if you sleep on your back (which usually makes finding the right mattress extra tricky). But stick to the Casper original if you’re heavier and/or want a thicker mattress, and the hybrid if you want an ultra-squishy one. We like their bedding, too.

Nectar is one of the best memory foam mattresses on the market. Fit for sleepers of different firmness preferences, the bed is available in two firmness options, Medium (5.5) and Firm (8). The Loom & Leaf is constructed with both high-density gel memory foam and standard memory foam in the comfort layers, as well as a luxurious foam-quilted cover made of organic cotton. This two-layer comfort system provides close conforming for excellent spinal alignment and pain relief. Meanwhile, the high-density polyfoam base layer ensures an even, supportive sleep surface. This all comes together to provide that traditional memory foam “hug” feel.

People are drawn to memory foam for all sorts of different reasons, but one of the biggest attractions is the way the material conforms to pressure. Memory foam is engineered to cradle you in a way that helps your head to stay in healthy alignment with your spine. It is also built to be durable, resilient, and support you all night long without caving in over the course of your slumber. Memory foam is a special type of material which reacts to temperature and pressure which causes it to mold and conform to shape accordingly.. Pros and cons of memory foam : Memory foam sleepers report above-average pain and pressure relief. Off-gassing potential is high for memory foam beds, and some mattresses emit odors for weeks after they are removed from their packaging.

Spinal Alignment: Do you suffer from headaches, neck or back pain? This is typically caused by poor spinal alignment. The main health benefits of sleeping on memory foam pillows is spinal alignment. As you lay your head and neck on thepillow, the weight and warmth of the body allow the foam to reshape itself. This forces the pillow to give greater resistance under the heaviest parts of the head, and equally support the lighter, more pressure sensitive neck area. Proper spinal alignment helps reduce tossing, turning and discomfort. It allows your muscles to relax properly offering natural spinal support to your body, adjusting to your unique shape promoting a deep restful sleep.
