Contour Adjustable Mattresses are far superior to Tempurpedic® mattresses because they combine the long term support benefits of an innerspring mattress with all the comfort and advantages of a pillow top model with optional memory foam insert. But what exactly is memory foam?
A memory foam mattress is frequently referred to as a viscoelastic memory foam or an elastic memory foam mattress and is comprised of man-made foam of polyurethane and additional chemicals that conforms to your frame in response to your body heat. The Tempurpedic Company is the largest seller of memory foam flat beds and the term tempurpedic mattress has become synonymous with the memory foam technology. In fact, almost all mattress companies today sell some form of memory foam product.
While many people initially find a solid memory foam mattress to be comfortable they often become dissatisfied with the mattress over time – and that’s a very costly realization to make! A solid memory foam mattress can be up to 14 inches thick and has several drawbacks. Because of the density of the foam, many people report that they can’t roll over or change positions while lying down and explain it as feeling like they are being swallowed by the foam mattress! This difficulty is increased with individuals with back pain, other physical ailments, or excess weight.
Another downside of the thickness of most elastic memory foam mattresses is the negative affect it has on a couple’s intimate relations! A recent survey by Fortune 500 Company Leggett & Platt revealed that only 25% of respondents to a survey on the best sleep surface for sex answered with memory foam! Only one out of every four people surveyed enjoyed making love on solid memory foam mattresses saying there was too much cushioning and not enough bounce!
Additionally, because memory foam is a man-made product many people report that they can’t tolerate the odor that is emitted from solid foam mattresses, and because it is affected by temperature, many people find it too firm in the colder months and uncomfortably hot in the warmer months.
A Contour Adjustable Mattress gives you the best of both worlds! A Contour mattress in our Platinum and Premiere models allows you to have the insert of your choice placed inside the luxurious pillow top mattress. Customers who choose the memory foam insert benefit from the contouring support and pressure relief provided by four inches of foam without all of the drawbacks of solid memory foam mattresses. The body heat that is generated from the memory foam is not a factor in Contour mattresses. The heat flows down into the air pockets of the innersprings and is released out of the sides of the breathable fabrics surrounding the springs.
When you sleep on our innovative, interchangeable pillow top mattress you’ll enjoy rolling over and changing positions with ease thanks to our top of the line inner spring technology. Inner springs create a certain amount of energy, or push back, allowing you to roll over and change positions with much less effort and energy than on a thick foam mattress. This same energy created by the innersprings allows you to have a much more enjoyable and fulfilling intimate experience with your partner! According to the Leggett and Platt sex surface survey, “bounce per ounce, the active support of innersprings adds the best boost of energy to boudoir fun!”
Best of all, with a Contour mattress sleep partners who can’t agree on what surface to sleep on can each choose a different insert. One partner can have a memory foam insert while the other chooses latex foam! And, if your preferences change over time there’s no need to buy a new mattress - simply change out the insert!
