Memory Foam Mattress Reviews
Top 3 Memory Foam Mattresses To Choose From


To make the best of memory foam mattress reviews on this page, you should know more about pros and cons of memory foam mattresses and how they are made.

They were introduced in the United States in 1992, after a Swedish company manufactured them successfully two years earlier.

Originally, memory foam was designed by NASA to help astronaut comfort during G force transitions.

The solution to the astronauts' comfort came in the form of a foam that could mold itself to align with each astronaut's individual body imprint. In the 1970s, the introduction of memory foam eased the astronauts' discomfort.

It was created by increasing the density of regular foam with the addition of chemicals to create a non toxic polyurethane foam that had tremendous bounce back.

With the astronauts' testing complete, memory foam eventually became available to the public to increase comfort when sitting or sleeping. Many physicians and users report a significant decrease in the occurrence of back, neck, and head pain with the use of this revolutionary foam.

While foam mattresses often have an initial odor, this aroma is harmless and can be readily excavated from the room through airing out, washing sheets, or even placing vinegar on a nearby nightstand.

The newest addition to the memory foam mattress family is created by Biogreen memory foam, which has significantly less or no initial odor as there is no need for the foam to release any of the gases.


Memory foam is rated for quality using a wide variety of criteria. However, even with strict quality control standards, each batch of memory foam that is manufactured will have certain variables that the company cannot predict in advance.

Thus, the advertised quality tensile of the individual mattress is considered to be an average. If the foam mattress you are looking at indicates that the quality tensile rating is a 10, then the factory continuously creates foam quality that is rated as low as an 8 and as high as a 12. This allows for variables while offering the basic standard of quality for each consumer.

Reviews Of Best Memory Foam Mattresses

To shorten your research and narrow your choices, we've prepared memory foam mattress reviews of 3 high quality products, that receive high industry and consumer ratings...

Tempur Pedic Celebrity

Tempur Pedic was the first to release the memory foam mattress in the United States and is the name most commonly associated with foam mattresses. While the line of Tempur Pedic mattresses runs long and deep, the Celebrity model is one of the newer and more sought after beds of this kind.

Originally, the Tempur Pedic came with a 3 inch base of memory foam. The Celebrity comes with an additional 2 inches of their heavy duty 5 pound memory foam. This is one of the highest standards in the industry, creating a long lasting memory foam mattress that can be counted on to return to its original shape for many years to come.

The pillow top surface is created from a combination of soft knit cotton, making the top of the mattress particularly soft and pliable while adding support for a strong combination of softness and support.

The original models were considered to be a little too hard, so the memory foam mattresses that are made by Tempur-Pedic today are devoted to finding a much better balance between the soft flexibility of the memory foam and the firmness of the pillow top blended surfaces.

The Celebrity is at the top of the line for this accomplishment and receives excellent memory foam mattress review points among consumers.

SelectaBed Tri Pedic

The SelectaBed Tri Pedic memory foam mattress provides a 4 inch foam inner core. These 4 inches are separated into 3 distinct layers of foam for long lasting construction and comfort.

The initial 4 pound layer (which is 10 ILD density) is covering the 5 pound layer of the 20 ILD foam. The difference in classification has to do with density, bounce back, longevity, and the depth at which one could be expected to sink into just the foam alone.

The final layer of the SelectaBed Tri Pedic mattress is comprised of the polyurethane foam that most traditional mattresses use. This final layer provides the foam above it with additional stability and body support. The sleeper will find that they feel cradled and supported at the same time.

Most memory foam mattress reviews show that the key is finding the balance between cradling and supporting people of various weights with one mattress. This was well achieved by the SelectaBed.

This memory foam mattress has the distinct honor of being the first and only mattress that has been provided for the State Department Officials residing overseas.

Go Mattress Sleep Fit

Constructed from a thick 3 inch layer of 4 pound memory foam and a generous 1 1/2 inch layer of quilting, the Go Mattress Sleep Fit memory foam mattress offers a pretty good balance between support and cradling. The quilting of the top layer has added somewhat of a traditional feel to the mattress while offering the same quality of a memory foam mattress.

The Go Mattress Company generally uses foam that has been imported and has been deemed as a lower quality for the rest of their mattress line. However, the Sleep Fit memory foam mattress is certified 100% manufactured in the United States and the higher quality memory foam used in this mattress has been noted.

This would be the premier comfort and quality mattress that the company has to offer. To entice consumers to give their higher quality mattress a try, they offer a simple 30 night trial as well as a 20 year manufacturer's warranty on the Sleep Fit mattress.
