The truth about memory foam

ARE MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES GOOD FOR BACK, NECK AND HIP PAIN?

It is our opinion that standard memory foam mattresses are not very effective when it comes to relieving pain and pressure. They have some pressure relieving capabilities but TEMPUR® material has been widely adopted in medical institutions across the world due to its proven pressure relieving properties. Based on our years of experience, TEMPUR® material has been found to alleviate tension in key pressure points the body whilst sleeping, allowing you to rest in complete comfort.

ARE MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES HOT TO SLEEP ON?

It has long been rumoured that standard memory foam can often cause a hot night’s sleep. This is because normal memory foam can have a dense cell structure which traps heat within the layers of foam. However, TEMPUR® memory foam mattresses have an open cell structure which allows the breathing of the material and heat to escape efficiently.

CAN YOU CLEAN A MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS?

Standard spring and memory foam mattresses can be very hard to clean because they often come without covers that can be changed. However, every TEMPUR® mattress comes with a removable cover which can be aired as often as required, selected technologies are also able to be washed, thus ensuring your mattress can remain clean & hygienic for years to come.

If you’re unsure if your cover can be washed, please consult your owner’s manual or contact our customer support team.

ARE MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES TOO HARD?

Ordinary memory foam mattresses often feel very firm to sleep on. This causes discomfort and ultimately prevents you from getting a great night’s sleep.
