What are the benefits of an Ecosamemory foam mattress?
What is memory foam?
Originally a 1966 innovation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), memory foam, also known as memory foam, is a material intended for airplane seats to lessen the intensity and pressure of gravity on takeoffs and landings.
The discovery of its features and benefits quickly penetrated the medical field as it provides a comfortable and sensitive material for patients in intensive care units and wheelchairs.
In the 1990s, the material was sold to a public company that would later change the game in the mattress and sleeping department. However, its production in its introductory phase was quite expensive. Due to its commercialization, new ways to make it cheaper have been conquered over the years.
The ability of memory foams to adapt to the contours of the body stood out in every sector it entered. It was the type of mattress that became revolutionary. And a high quality memory foam mattress today is still a game changer for many because of its wide range of benefits.
Why choose an Ecosa memory foam mattress?
1. Memory foam provides pressure relief
When you are sleeping in your bed, forces act on your body, such as the downward force of gravity and upward pressure from the mattress.
Using a traditional inner-spring mattress creates painful pressure points where your body and mattress come in contact with your hips, shoulders, and heels. Since the pressure on your body when sleeping on a regular spring mattress is concentrated in specific areas, other critical areas of the body are unsupported, causing body aches, lower back pain, and even muscle strain.
Memory foam has a temperature sensitivity feature that helps with pain relief because the areas with pain are slightly warmer than the rest of the body. These small differences soften the foam, allowing it to be smoother in areas of pain. Its pressure point relief feature helps you sleep better.
However, traditional memory foam mattresses absorb and retain body temperature heat, which can be useful during winter. To ensure you continue to get a good night's sleep even in hot weather, look for a memory foam mattress with a cooling feature and good airflow.
2. Memory foam is good for the back
With a memory foam mattress, its ability to adjust to your body decreases upward body pressure by up to 50%. A quality memory foam mattress supports the body evenly, helping with spinal alignment.
The sleeper benefits from this in the long run because it also helps in preventing back problems regardless of sleeping positions.
The mattress's contouring feature is made possible by its body weight adjustment and memory foam temperature sensitive material. Sleep expert Donna L. Arand, Ph.D., mentions that body heat softens the foam in the right places, allowing it to follow the body's original shape and lines.
3. Memory foam insulates and absorbs motion
Restful sleep is more difficult to achieve when sleeping with a partner or a pet with all the possible sleep disturbances.
For those who are light sleepers, a memory foam mattress may be the solution. Because this type of mattress handles the transfer of motion. It isolates movement in one area, and your partner can get in and out of bed without you feeling anything.
4. Memory foam is good for health and is hypoallergenic
Another important benefit is for people who suffer from sleep apnea, a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep. Sleeping with a memory foam mattress, especially when paired with quality memory foam pillows, provides a good amount of support and elevation for the head, which aids in achieving a healthy breathing pattern.
Dust mites and other allergens such as mold and pet dander thrive on traditional inner-spring mattresses because of the large open spaces inside these beds.
A spring mattress you have had for a few years can have 100,000 to 10 million mites inside it.'
It not only provides the perfect environment, but also gives them access to a stable food source. Mites are known to eat dead skin cells and because we spend a lot of time in our beds, we leave a lot of dead skin cells on our sleeping surfaces. Due to the high density structure of memory foam, there are no large open spaces for dust mites to reside. Remember, the best mattress should take care of your health.
Worried about outgassing? No! It's just the result of the new mattress production process that confines the smell of polyurethane foam in an enclosed space. It should dissipate within 48 hours in a well-ventilated area.
5. Memory foam beds are durable and long lasting
The medium memory foam mattress can last up to eight years, with higher quality memory foam lasting up to fifteen years. Maintenance is not a big problem because it needs very little to last a long time. Of course, the mattress can benefit from the occasional turning and vacuuming every now and then, but that's about it.
By comparison, spring mattresses last five to six years but are prone to sagging. In addition, a monthly rotation is ideal because this type of mattress does not repel dust mites. On the other hand, air and water beds have an average lifespan of seven to ten years, but in order to achieve that lifespan, constant replacements and parts upgrades are required.
