Memory foam mattresses are in high demand today and many people are already considering to buy a second one. They like the way they sleep on the mattress but are willing to correct some of the defects of their first purchase. Sometimes the memory foam topper was too thick or too thin and gave a sinking feeling that was excessive or too close contact with the support layer creating too many pressure points. In other cases the memory foam layer was not of the correct density.
Although there are many places online where you can buy your latex mattress in parts and give you the ability to swap mattress components if they’re too soft or too hard for you , there are not too many stores that sell memory foam mattresses in a component format so you can build it yourself. The stores may have a lot of such mattresses from plush to hard but they will not offer you to swap out one foam topper for a different one. One of the reasons is that apart from the high quality models offered by Tempurpedic and other visco elastic foam producers that have mattresses with 3 or more layers, memory foam mattresses are as a rule simple affairs. They have a topper that is somewhere from 2 to 4 inches thick and a support foam layer that is thicker than 5 inches . The range of choice is commonly limited to two, plush and firm. Because of the elasticity, memory foam is also a great solution for an adjustable bed mattress, so long as you don’t buy one thicker than 11 inches.
One of the reasons for visco elastic foam mattress choices being simple is the fact that the principle they are based on is simple. Ninety percent of the benefit provided by a memory foam mattress has to do come from the topper. This part is usually the only one that is actually made of memory foam material. The support foam below is simply to give support and the quality of materials this layer is made of varies a lot depending on price and manufacturer. This is due to the fact that it just doesn’t influence that much the quality of sleep and so most manufacturers don’t pay too much attention to it. Consequently, you are unlikely to find visco elastic foam mattress producers or dealers providing “do it yourself” mattresses.
That being the case, the best way to put together a customized memory foam mattress is to research all the foam toppers available as best you can based on what you have for the moment . Once you get that topper you can as a rule tear off your current unsatisfactory topper (even though it will laminate) from the support layer and just put the new one over the foundational foam. Then all is left to do is put them back in your current mattress cover with a zipper or get a new one and you’re done .
