Many people find the prospect of spending several hundred dollars on a brand-new memory foam mattress a little bit daunting. There is no doubt, that memory foam makes a great bedding product. But it can be very expensive. However, with the introduction of the memory foam mattress topper consumers are now able to experience many of the benefits associated with memory foam mattresses without having to spend a very significant sum required on those mattresses. In fact, a significant proportion of the benefits experienced by people lying on memory foam can indeed be experienced by a memory foam mattress topper as thin as 3 inches.
So, when looking to buy a 3 inch memory foam mattress topper you should consider some of the following to make sure that you do not make a mistake in your purchasing decision. You see, a memory foam mattress topper may be considerably less expensive than a full-blown memory foam mattress but it is still a comparatively significant sum of money to spend.
Perhaps the most important aspect of your topper is the density of the memory foam used. Density information is provided to you by the manufacturer in the form of lbs per cubic foot. The recommendation that most would give you is to go through density of memory foam of between four lbs and five lbs. Less than this will mean that you have a cheap memory foam mattress topper that is unlikely to last sufficiently long to make the investment worthwhile. However, taking a density greater than this is not necessarily the right answer either as more dense memory foam tends to be less responsive, more heat retentive, and find difficult to manoeuvre.
A word of warning a memory foam mattress topper is designed to be used on top of an existing mattress. If you try to use it as a mattress then it is likely that you will do it some serious damage and make its use significantly less beneficial.
The only other factor to you any serious consideration to is the firmness or softness in particular memory foam mattress topper that you are looking at. This information is provided to you with the ILD rating. However, your particular preference ILD rating is substantially personal, and is not encapsulated within a particular number. The best way of evaluating your personal ILD preference is to have had experience with a memory foam mattress topper previously that you either liked just right, or disliked because it was either too firm or too soft. You can use this information to make the right decision this time round.
