Types of double memory foam mattress

You might think that there's only one type of memory foam, but that's not true anymore. Nowadays, you'll have a lot of choice in this area - so before you buy your new 4ft6 double size memory foam mattress, you should learn a bit about how to make the right decision for you.

  • Traditional memory foam cradles your body securely, enhancing circulation and decreasing stress on your joints. It is known for its ability to absorb heat, which makes it a good choice if you tend to get chilly at night.
  • Open cell memory foam responds to your body temperature, keeping you at the right temperature all night long. It has a quick response, so it will shift around to adapt to your body faster than traditional memory foam.
  • Gel memory foam is great at dispersing heat, so it's good if you get hot and sweaty at night. It helps reduce pressure points, to relieve your joints.
  • Combination memory foam mattresses feature a memory foam layer with another, complementary material. These are particularly comfortable, and help to avoid the sinking feeling that you get sometimes with memory foam.
4ft6 memory foam mattresses

It's essential to choose a mattress that's the right size for your bed, to avoid unpleasant surprises and disappointment. A standard British double bed is 4ft6 wide or, in the metric system, 135 cm. However, just to be on the safe side, measure your bed before you buy a new mattress. Some European manufacturers tend to make double beds a few centimetres wider.

Should you choose a memory foam mattress?

Memory foam is great if you have joint pain, as it offers nighttime pain relief. It also creates a unique cradle effect, sinking around your body but remaining firm elsewhere. It's a particularly good choice if your partner is a restless sleeper, and tosses and turns. Memory foam reduces the effect this will have on you, so you'll be secure while they're moving.

How should you care for a memory foam mattress?

Vacuum your mattress when necessary, and spot clean if it gets stained. Never soak it. If you have a multiple layer mattress, then you won't be able to turn it in the traditional way, as the top and the bottom will feel very different. However, flipping it from the head to the foot of the bed from time to time will help prolong its lifespan.
