Many people think a bed is just a 'bed', something which you fall into at the end of a long day, and fall out of first thing in a morning.

A luxury mattress will offer true edge to edge comfort in a different way to a normal mattress, it will offer comfort and support for the joints and helps for the perfect restful sleep.

Also, the materials a luxury mattress are made from will be skin sensitive which will keep you cooler in summer and warm in winter.

A great way to preserve the high quality of a luxury memory foam mattress is to turn the mattress, you should feel a more consistent and softer comfort, this will preserve the foam to allow it to continue to contour the body and support any joints and relieve any pain.

These types of mattresses are becoming very popular with athletes who suffer from sports injuries and problems with weak joints, the duvet and pillow warehouse have a large selection of mattresses like this and will be able to give you advice on which will be the best for your specific needs.

Different positions you sleep in will affect the amount of pressure that is put onto your joints, you need to take into consideration the position you mostly sleep in and if you will benefit from a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper. 

If you sleep on your side a lot, you place a heavy amount of pressure in your shoulder and hips, and if you sleep on your stomach you are adding pressure to your neck. 

A visco-elastic pressure sensitive memory foam mattress will work the best for you and provide you with the best chance of reducing the overall pressure placed on the joints, this is done by contouring them and pushing against them as you lay on the mattress. 

Latex is sometimes added to memory foam that will offer more spring against parts of your body such as the small of your back or yours sides, without losing the ability to contour and displace pressure points.

The duvet and pillow warehouse can help your achy joints by providing you all the information you need about why and how a memory foam mattress or a memory foam topper can help you,  and then advising you which would be most suitable.

Memory foam mattresses have crept onto the scene over the past few years, claiming they are the saviour of restless sleeps, but is it really true?

Well at Duvet and Pillow Warehouse we have come up with some pros and cons about both mattresses so you can make the decision all by yourself! :-)

Spring Mattress

The thought of springs doesn't sound comfy to begin, but put it with a bit of material and you would probably assume you have a pretty comfy, bouncy bed.

A pressure point test from a leading spring mattress indicating pressure points. The results showed that spring mattresses don't offer the correct pressure point relief needed for a good night's sleep.

Traditional spring mattresses rely on a varied number of springs which push back against your body, all with the same force, making proper support impossible because our bodies do not push evenly. The lack of support on these pressure points lead to poor circulation, tossing and turning, aches and joint pain.

In fact, spring mattresses lose 16 per cent of their support in the first year alone.

Memory Foam Mattress

When you buy a good quality memory foam mattress you will find that your body weight will distribute evenly. This reduces pressure points substantially, up to 80 per cent, which only memory foam can provide.

Tossing and turning is greatly reduced with a memory foam mattress.

Spring Mattresses

Spring mattresses act as a shock absorber and reduce the wear and tear of a mattress. Coil gauges determine the firmness and support. The less coils there are the thicker the springs.

Memory Foam Mattresses

Vary, but generally go from firm to supple. As memory foam mattresses distribute the weight evenly, a good memory foam mattress should give you a firm feeling without compromising your back, hips and joints.

Many memory foam mattresses become more supple with body heat, providing a cradling support your body requires.

Memory Foam is the perfect way to ensure you get a good night's sleep. Most often, people tend to look for a memory foam mattress but they can be pretty pricey and so people opt for a cheaper mattress instead which doesn't really do the trick.

Well now you are in luck as some clever soul developed a wonderful idea known as the memory foam mattress topper which simply sits on top of your existing mattress providing the same comfort and support as a memory foam mattress, just at a cheaper price.

And to make sure you are completely clued up about memory foam mattress toppers and how they can help you, we have found this demonstration video on YouTube about memory foam mattress toppers. Enjoy!

Memory foam is generally associated with bedding products such as memory foam mattresses or memory foam mattress toppers, but in fact it is now being used for an entirely different product.

With many thanks to the extraordinary works of Slovenian scientists, memory foam is being cleverly used to enhance the chests of women around the world.

Memory foam is a heat-sensitive material which moulds to the shape of the human body when in contact. The clever material is now being used to create the perfect fit for those who wear bras and lingerie company Dalila are taking the foam on board.

Not only will the new memory foam bra create the perfect fit there is also a more surprising and unplanned quality which the new bra will offer.

To put the new clever quality into practice we have introduced a new scenario.

If a woman is out on a night out and becomes excited/interested by the prospect of another person, her body temperature will rise and as a result her cleavage will as well!

This rise in 'interest has been labelled the 'alert system' by the Irish Independent newspaper.

Memory foam is growing in popularity each and every week, with Mirriam-Webster dictionary adding the term the term to the English language in recent weeks.

For more information about memory foam and how it can benefit you, (but this time in the bedding world) visit Duvet and Pillow Warehouse today to have a look at their memory foam pillows or memory foam toppers on sale.

Memory Foam Massage Table

Needing a massage? Wanting to have one in comfort and style?

Well a new memory foam portable massage table has been designed to offer the perfect platform for that much needed massage.

The multi-density  foam padding conforms to each users body shape to give them the perfect lying position when having their massage.

The multi layer  foam padding includes a high density layer topped with plush memory foam, which works in a very similar way to a memory foam mattress topper which is placed over your mattress at home.

Memory foam is ideal for a massage table as the memory foam conforms to body heat, moulding to the shape of the body which further supports muscles and joints. This is a fantastic way to promote your massage salon saying that the memory foam is designed to support the rest of your body while you are having your massage.

Memory foam mattresses can be very pricey but luckily a cheaper but just as effective method has been designed known as a memory foam mattress topper.

The memory foam mattress topper is placed over your existing mattress and provides the same cushioned supportive feel.

There is also a wide range of memory foam pillows which support your head and neck while you sleep.

If you think about this logically, who the hell came up with the idea of sleeping on coils?

The thought of lying on bare springs hardly sounds appealing  or comfortable, so why on earth someone thought of putting a bit of material over them would make it any better is beyond me.

Probably because they hadn't heard of memory foam and the floor was just unbearable to sleep on!

Clearly does not like the poor quality of a coil spring bed

 The first patent for a coil spring bed was introduced in 1865, and since then there has been minimal changes to the design following the 144 years.

During that same period we have gone from sending the pigeon to deliver letters to instant emails online, which makes me wonder why not much has changed when it comes to the mattress we spend 1/3 of our life on.

However, there is an amazing new mattress creation (developed by NASA may I add) which many people have heard of but don't necessarily know much about and how it can help them sleep.

We have compiled a list of differences between the memory foam mattress and the coil spring mattress and how it can benefit you.

Body Support

The characteristics of both mattresses differ greatly when it comes to supporting your body while you sleep.

While a coil mattress makes your body conform to it, a memory foam mattress conforms to the shape of your body.

The pressure or force, from the coil springs in the mattress is exerted against your body. You are pushing down on the springs with your body forcing them to retreat and they are shoving back against you trying to uncoil. Where the hell is the comfort in that? Sounds more like a battle that a peaceful sleep!

This is why many people complain about sore muscles and stiffness when you wake up each morning.

Memory foam conforms to your body as you sleep

With a memory foam mattress the foam material conforms to your body because the body exerts force onto it. As you lie down you will feel the memory foam accommodating to your shape and will adjust to your weight giving you the perfect platform for that heavenly sleep.

Because the memory foam conforms to your body, you will not feel the weight or movement of your partner as their is no bounce with a memory foam mattress.

Memory foam mattress can often be quite expensive to buy and it is often a shame to throw out a mattress that has just recently been bought. To save people from spending unnecessarily, many bedding companies have introduced memory foam mattress toppers and memory foam pillows, which have the same desired affect but are simply cheaper!

Temperature sensitivity

Another major difference is that memory foam has the ability to react and respond to different temperatures.

The memory foam is able to sense the different temperatures of your body and either remain firm or soften. This change leaves you with a cozy feeling once the memory foam has softened up.

Coil mattresses cannot do this, which is why people suffering from a cold are much better sleeping on a memory foam mattress to help keep them warm and supported.

When looking to purchase a memory foam mattress the duvet and pillow warehouse advise that you look for a good ILD rating. The ILD rating on memory foam mattresses means the actual firmness of the mattresses that is determined through tests that are carried out on the visco - elastic material that is used in the memory foam mattresses. 

The firmness of a mattress is an issue for people who experience back problems and other joint problems that result in pain. You need to be sure that you get the right kind of memory foam mattress with the density and firmness that you need for you specific needs. 

If the company you are buying your memory foam mattress from offers free trials, be sure to take advantage of this and try out as many as you can before you buy so you can be sure you choose the right one. 

The cradling effect of the memory foam mattress will relieve pressure in any injured areas of the body, and as well as this the benefits of memory foam providing spinal alignment have been proven – as well as giving a better quality nights sleep! So contact the duvet and pillow warehouse for your high quality memory foam mattress that will stand the test of time for many years!
