But thankfully, sleep specialists and manufacturers have committed to improving the quality of sleep of people all over the world. Over the years, sleep has been revolutionized. One such major development was the introduction of memory foam, a quality foam mattress that has been helping people sleep better since 1990s.

A mattress should make you feel good. Buyers feel it with their hands or lay their backs on it essentially because they want to know how the mattress would make them feel. The first level of attraction is always comfort. If it feels right and it feels good, then you’ll think that you’ve probably found the perfect mattress for you.
The one quality of a memory foam mattress or pillow is that is manufactured using a temperature-sensitive material, which allows the mattress to adjust to the sleeper’s body heat and weight. The result: optimum comfort.
Pain points have a temperature higher than the rest of the body. What the memory foam does is that it adjusts the temperature so the body recovers quickly. It also cradles your body and adjusts to its shape and movements, distributing body weight evenly while relieving pressure points in the process.

Memory foam supports the back and helps the spine to stay in a neutral position. It is not forced in any way because the mattress contours to your body curves. Its ability to distribute weight evenly and displace pressure points from your body helps relieve body pains and soreness.
Uratex, the best mattress brand in the Philippines, has its Senso Memory collection featuring high-quality mattresses made of memory foam.

It does not matter whether you are a back or side sleeper. A mattress with memory foam will adjust. Since the material was designed to mold to any body shape, it can accommodate different types of sleepers. They also come in different levels of firmness and mattress sizes.
The memory foam supports the spine, allowing your back to relax when sleeping on your back. If you are a side sleeper, the memory foam will support the waist, hips, and shoulders so that the spine would still be in neutral position. For those who sleep on their stomachs, a firm memory foam helps keep the spine aligned because it prevents the sinking feeling.
For those who suffer from interrupted sleep because of partners who toss and turn constantly or has the habit of recklessly rolling out of bed in the middle of the night, the memory foam is the answer to your dilemma. The foam absorbs motion, rather than transfer it. It provides motion transfer resistance so much so that you won’t be jolted out of sleep because someone bounced or turned around at your side.
