Sleepshop 12" King Pillow Top Memory Foam Mattress

Practically everyone who has tried the trademark TempurPedic bed will agree that memory foam is one of the most comfortable substances ever made. However the price of the Swedish Tempur-Pedic bed is enough to put many consumers off of buying it.

Sleepshop's king size pillow top memory foam mattress is one such model. The mattress itself is made from a solid 12" thick piece of viscoelastic memory foam with the added bonus of an additional layer of memory foam to make up the pillow top. Most consumers who have purchased this king size mattress unanimously agree that at $1000, it is well worth the money.

Pros:

• Viscoelastic means that it breathes better than other types of memory foam
• Molds to the shape of your body
• Eliminates most back pain
• No lumps or coils

Cons:

• The biggest complaint about memory foam products is the unpleasant odour it emits when new
• Memory foam is much warmer than other mattress materials; electric blankets and heating pads generally cannot be used
