FAQ
You can use any type of mattress cover or protector. There are no recommended brands or styles. Not using a protector will not void your warranty.
Memory foam mattresses may sleep warmer than other non-memory foam mattresses because when lying on the bed, people tend to sleep “in the mattress” instead of “on the mattress,” making more direct skin contact with the mattress which may absorb more body heat making the mattress feel warmer.
Density indicates how much the foam weighs. For example, a cubic foot of four lbs/ft density foam weighs four pounds. The density of memory foam often determines many mattress characteristics as well as many differences between brands/models. You can often learn much about a memory foam mattress simply by knowing its density. In most areas of comparison, low and medium-density memory foam mattresses tend to perform as well as and often better than high-density memory foam mattresses.
For first time visco memory foam sleepers, please allow 30-60 days to adjust.
Gel memory foam is infused with gel beads that will capture and dissipate your body heat. The cool sleeping surface provides the optimal thermal experience.
Memory foam is made from polyurethane foam and latex is a substance that comes from the rubber tree. Latex foam has a higher elasticity or resiliency than memory foam. The result is that latex will feel more spring and memory foam will feel denser. Therefore, memory foam will not push back up against your body upon pressure being applied to it. We like to say that with memory foam, you tend to sleep “in it” and with latex you tend to sleep “on it.”
Newly opened memory foam mattresses may give off an initial odor that can last for a couple of days. It is akin to the “new car smell” since memory foam mattresses have been compressed and sealed into a plastic bag and it has not had a chance for the odor to escape and air out. The odor is non-toxic but can be a bother for people who are sensitive to smells. We suggest airing out the mattress for at least 24 hours before putting sheets on the bed to reduce the initial odor.
