Foam Mattresses

You may have a foam mattress, but is it a memory foam mattress? Memory foam mattresses leave an indentation when a person pushes their hand against the foam. This shows how well it supports your body. They say the astronauts used it; but does that mean it is good for your baby as well? It is said that the mattress offers excellent spinal support; that sounds good for a growing child. It is said that the mattress takes getting used to, that it isn’t as “soft and squishy” like regular mattresses; as an infant has no frame of reference on mattresses perhaps it hardly matters. Nothing is as “soft and squishy” as inside Mom.

There are memory foam mattress toppers to be had. They promise that “They (babies presumably) will surely sleep through the night.” Reviews on the memory foam mattress topper are mixed from those who said that they got the best sleep of their lives to people who thought that the mattress felt too warm in the summertime.

Less mixed were product ratings for the Serta memory foam mattress. The Evenfo Serta Perfect Sleeper Baby Imperial had glowing reports. It was said that the mattress had been used by several babies in the same family; they report no sagging whatsoever.

Latex foam mattresses have quite a following as well. One plus is that it is a natural material derived from rubber; it is biodegradable, which can’t be said about other foam. It is anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, dust mite free, and inhibits the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. It is a positive boon to allergy sufferers. There is one caveat, however. There are people who are allergic to latex, some fatally so. Therefore, it would be advisable that a person makes very sure they do not have a latex allergy before purchasing.

Speaking of purchasing, memory foam can be pricey. A memory foam mattress review might have you convinced, but how about your pocketbook? There are some less formidable alternatives.
