Neck ache is something we have all experienced in our time, whether we have stayed over at a friend’s house on one of their spare pillows, or at a small bed and breakfast were the pillows look like they have been dragged through a hedge. Whatever the experience, the consequences are painful!

A memory foam pillow mould to the contours of your head so that you are not constantly tossing and turning trying to get the right comfort and support.

Getting the balance right

There is a long drawn out myth that a bed lavished with pillows is the ultimate comfort haven, yet the fact of the matter is, you can have too many pillows.

Lots of pillows are great if you are sitting up to read or drinking tea before bed, yet once you lie down your body should be more or less horizontal.

Being horizontal is so important in your physiology to encourage oncoming sleep, and memory foam pillows are the perfect way of getting a good angle and support. 

The wrong kind of pillows can leave your head too high or too low and the result leaves you with a restless sleep, endless nights of tossing and turning, plumping the pillows and a stiff neck.

Micro Fibre pillows and bedding are synthetic filled and have the ability to be washed at 60°C, compressing well into a domestic washing machine.

Both the micro fibre pillows and bedding can be washed time and time again and will remain hypoallergenic without the lost of comfort.

Another good way to beat those allergies would be to invest in hollow fibre pillows and bedding. Polyester –filled, there are no mites in hollow fibre pillows and it is health risk free making it perfect for people who suffer with allergies.

Hollow fibre pillows may be dressed in bed linen only, which protects it from the dirt. The pillow may also be washed in temperatures of up to 60°C.

Mattress toppers have been around for many years originally filled materials such as feather down, natural latex or wool.

Over the years however, mattress manufacturers have found that synthetic fibres have become more sophisticated and hence more popular, and have designed new and improved mattresses to give better comfort and support in bed.

The real boom in the mattress market has been the use of memory foam, an affordable and reliable material used world wide in homes to provide that perfect nights sleep.

A memory foam mattress topper is simply a pad, usually around an inch or two thick, which lies over the top of your existing mattress to provide increased comfort and support.   

Memory foam mattress toppers give the same support and advantages of memory foam without having to splash out on a full memory foam mattress.

Additional to this, the memory foam mattress topper will most probably improve the performance of almost any mattress, keeping it in tip top shape for many years to come.

At Duvet and Pillow Warehouse there are a wide range of luxury memory foam mattress toppers to choose from, including double memory foam mattress toppers and king memory foam toppers

A memory foam mattress can provide you with a good nights sleep as well as working wonders for your back, neck and overall posture. A memory foam mattress is made from a material called polyurethane along with other chemicals that are added to increase its viscosity level – increasing a viscosity level will then increase the density of the mattress. 

A memory foam mattress works off the heat of the body, and the overall density of the mattress will depend upon the chemicals that have been used to produce the mattress, usually the memory foam mattress will be firmer in cool temperatures and softer when it is warm. 

If the memory foam mattress has a high density it will react with body heat, this results in the mattress molding to the shape of a warm body within only a few minutes. A memory foam mattress that has a lower density will be pressure sensitive and this means it will mould to the shape of a body more quickly. 

A demonstration is usually given which will easily explain the properties of the memory foam mattress and exactly how it will perform, this is simply a hand being pressed into the foam and then removed to show an impression left in the foam.

Please contact duvet and pillow warehouse for any further information regarding the best memory foam mattresses to go for depending upon your needs.

Memory foam mattresses work by being denser than a normal foam mattress, when material is denser it is always heavier and more supportive, which is why the memory foam mattresses are perfect for people with back and neck problems. 

The way memory foam does this is through a open cell structure which reacts with your body heat and weight, it will then mould to your body which will result in relieving pressure points and sore joints. 

The memory foam mattress is the perfect answer to most people’s problems when it comes to having both a comfy and supportive mattress, as it gives the comfort of a soft mattress but the support of a firm one. They are also more expensive but will last longer than a traditional mattress as they are stronger and more resistant to parasites found in bedding like dust mites.

The duvet and pillow warehouse has a large number of memory foam mattresses and memory foam mattress toppers and will be able to advise you on which will be the best for your specific needs and the most cost effective way of improving your bed and your comfort levels when you sleep. Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding any enquiries of questions you have about our products.

The process of making a memory foam mattress starts with using a piece of polyurethane foam material, this is the foam which is used as the basis of the mattress, from this particular types of chemicals are added to the foam, each chemical will have a different effect on the foam, increasing the weight and adding density to the foam. 

From adding these chemicals, a new type of foam is then created; this foam is non-toxic and visco-elastic. Throughout the process of creating the memory foam there are many elements that will determine the type of memory foam that will be achieved at the end. 

A material can only be visco-elastic it has to be sensitive to temperature, both hot and cold, and be able to rebound quickly to its original shape. 

Memory foam is put into grades before the process of adding chemicals begins, these grades are determined upon the weight – the weight of foam depends upon the amount of chemicals used, the more chemicals the higher density and more visco-elastic it will be. 

Another factor determining the grading is the ILD rating (Indentation Load Deflection), this rating will tell you how hard or soft the material is. Resilience and tensile are also tests took out on the foam, the resilience will measure the spring in the foam and the tensile is how much the foam can be stretched.
