Different types of foam mattresses

  • Polyurethane Foam Mattresses

    Open-cell polyurethane foam is a breathable foam made here in Western Canada, and it is the most common material used in mattresses today. It is hypoallergenic and provides quality and durability at less cost than latex rubber, and is an excellent base for a memory foam topper.

  • Memory Foam For Mattresses

    Memory foam mattresses that you see advertised online are not completely made of memory foam. It is a layer added on top of a regular polyurethane mattress. Memory foam is similar to polyurethane but is made with a different primary ingredient. It is widely used for mattress toppers as it absorbs movements, distributes body weight equally, and then returns to its original shape when the weight is removed. Though memory foam is not for everyone, here are some advantages:

    • Hypoallergenic

    • They offer quality and durability.

    • They provide softness and adaptability to different body shapes.

    • They are temperature-sensitive.

    • They reduce pressure points to prevent body pain.

  • Latex foam mattresses

    Latex foam is considered one of the most durable types of foam in the mattress industry and is the most costly to produce. Typically, you find a less expensive latex that contains both chemical and natural components, but the majority of the latex foam we carry is 100% Natural Fair Trade Rubber. It reacts quickly to movements (it’s bouncy!) and can be.used as a topper.

How to choose the right mattress for you

With so many brands and types of foam available, it is common for customers to feel confused about which one they should opt for. While a reliable retailer can help you pick a suitable foam product, it is a good idea to do research and learn about the pros and cons of purchasing different foam products. Below is some basic information to help you choose.

  • Types of Foam

    Based on their cell structures and characteristics, foams come in varying types. If you plan to package electronic items, lightweight polyethylene with high resistance to chemicals and moisture is a great option. On the other hand, polyurethane offers vast usage such as beds (and toppers for making hard beds softer), sofa cushions, outdoor furniture, musical instrument cases, soundproofing, etc. Then there are specialty foams like reticulated foam for outdoor use and filters. Natural latex rubber and memory foam are also available.

  • Density vs Firmness (COMPRESSION)

    When it comes to foam products, the density and firmness are unrelated. Very high density foam is available in medium, medium-firm, firm, and extra-firm COMPRESSION. The different firmnesses have different uses. Traditionally, firm is used for sofa cushion replacement, medium is used for mattresses, and extra-firm is used for dining room chairs and hip replacement cushions.

    The DENSITY of the foam affects durability and cost. Generally, foam density falls into four categories: low, medium, high, and super-high, with each of them offering different lengths of durability. Super-high density foam is ideal for use in commercial settings whereas low-density would be used for packaging.

  • Thickness vs Longevity

    The longevity of a foam product primarily depends on the density of the foam. The heavier the density, the longer the foam will last. For example, a 1.1 lb. low-density, 2” thick foam (camping foam), lasts 45 nights of every night adult use. A 4” thick, 1.5 lb. medium density foam lasts one year of every night adult use. A 6” thick, 2.1 lb. very-high density foam mattress, will last 10+ years of every night adult use (spin in the spring, flip in the fall).

Foam Mattress toppers

A foam mattress topper is an additional pad, much like another thin mattress, designed to be laid over a mattress for additional comfort. A mattress topper increases the longevity and life of a mattress and can make a too firm mattress softer.

 

Mattress toppers can be made up of various materials. We can personalize your foam mattress topper for your bed with polyurethane, latex, or memory foam.

 

Key advantages of foam toppers:

  • Foam mattress toppers can be customized based on thicknesses and density.

  • Foam mattress toppers are softer, reducing pressure on arthritic or sore joints.

  • Foam mattress toppers will make a firm bed softer or a low bed higher.

 

Remember, a mattress topper will not make a soft bed firmer or resolve a lumpy mattress. If you find yourself in that situation, you may need to replace your mattress.
