When you’re trying to find information about the finest memory foam mattress available, there are some things to watch for, not just in the information about the mattresses, but on the review websites themselves. A memory foam mattress review written on a mattress company’s own site may be less credible than one from a neutral website. Similarly, an organization that chronicles all of the tests they have done on double, queen and king size memory foam mattress products, and then posting the results on its site, might carry more weight than posts on a blog that claim to be objective, yet always seem to push one brand.

A manufacturer itself is unlikely to have a negative memory foam mattress review at its own site. Indeed, the company might do some viral marketing, hiring people to post reviews at other sites, to the effect that this brand is the best memory foam mattress around. But you can often detect this sort of thing by watching carefully. Even a well-loved mattress product will get some mixed reviews, but if these are suddenly pushed off the front page by a spate of ultra-positive reviews, then that ought to raise a red flag immediately.

Sites that test different brands of memory foam beds and post results are likely more trustworthy. Consumer Reports does this, and www.consumersearch.com posts reviews from other reputable sources. There are also some individuals, like Geoff Milburn at the www.gmilburn.ca website, who will post a memory foam mattress review and list detailed research results and their conclusions. You might also check sites that cater to people with back or hip problems, because their reviews will be more concerned with their readers’ welfare than pushing a company’s products. Of course, if any such site is itself sponsored by a memory foam bed manufacturer, then that ought to raise questions.

Why bother reading any memory foam mattress review, then, if they’re all crooked? Actually, it might take work, but the good ones really are out there. Visit some manufacturers’ websites for names of mattresses, then put those names into a search engine. If reviews on many different sites tend to agree that a particular brand is the best foam mattress memory bed available, then it probably is. Even if the seller engages in viral marketing, it can’t control or influence every site that exists, so negative reviews will show up in a search. If you keep digging, you’ll finally recognize which brand is the one you’d prefer.

Spring mattresses have been the North American standard for so long that other kinds regularly get compared to them. A mattress review site will demonstrate that, even if the reviews are for mattresses of memory foam, and certainly the air flow mattresses will be the same. Even people who have spring mattresses often want the give of springs, so they “cheat” and buy a memory foam topper to lie over their existing bed. This way they still get the slight bounce they’re looking for, but get the added softness and support of the foam.

Springs can lose their shape eventually, but foam mattresses may also do so. Various types of reviews on mattresses will point out the difference between ordinary foam and memory foam. The latter is much denser, with millions of tiny cells that soften with body heat but “remember” their original shape as they cool. So a mattress made of ordinary foam will flatten much sooner than one made from memory foam.

Another comparison you might find would be between memory foam and the alternating pressure mattress. This mattress has small air cells inside that are inflated and deflated with electric controls. Studies have shown that both the visco memory foam mattress and this air mattress give better support than other types. Yet it was the alternating air pressure mattress that did the best job of preventing bedsores, because the force pressing on a person’s body differed from time to time.

There are so many options out there that you will always benefit from mattress review sites. Between those reviews, visits to stores, and mattress tips you might receive from other sources, you should be able to find something. Whether it’s a good spring mattress, a more expensive alternating air bed, or a memory foam bed, you’ll learn what works best for you.
