More about Memory Foam pillows and mattresses...

What is memory foam?

Quite simply, it is a polyeurethane foam featuring open visco elastic cells. The cells respond to body temperature, becoming softer in areas where your body has contact, therefore moulding to the body. Other mattress materials made of 100% springs, cannot fully respond to an individual's shape and sleep habits, whereas memory foam creates a full moulding effect. Consequently, the lack of pressure points encourages less turning and therefore a more peaceful sleep. Memory foam has been used in healthcare for many years due to its pressure relieving properties.

Memory foam is clinically proven to reduce aches and pains during sleep, and can alleviate back pain as it keeps the spine in perfect alignment. Due to the viscose properties, the material also returns to its original form very quickly - you will not find yourself rolling into the middle of a mattress with memory foam.

Which? Tests - and what to expect from Memory Foam

Which? Magazine tested mattresses to select ones which stand out because they have the best overall combination of body and lumbar support. Further, these mattresses didn't sag or lose much firmness in their harsh tests for durability, which involved passing a roller over each one 60,000 times to simulate 10 years of use.

Which? also tested the SleepShaper mattress for durability and found that the height and firmness barely altered. But other mattresses sagged, developed cuts or tore open.

Why SleepShaper™?

We have chosen SleepShaper as our preferred memory foam mattress and pillow manufacturer for the following reasons:

  • SleepShaper success in Which? Magazine report.
  • Price and service.
  • Unlike many other memory foam mattresses, SleepShaper Original Mattress can come with a special machine-washable covering called Outlast designed to regulate temperature and keep you cooler at night.
  • Overall feel of the products.
  • They are able to produce mattresses at specific sizes.
  • A 5 year 100% replacement Guarantee covers all SleepShaper products and protects against manufacturing defects. If during this time, an indent of more than 2cm remains in the foam, they will replace the mattress at no additional cost. Not only that, a further 80% warrantee is give for the next 5 years.

What type of memory foam does SleepShaper use?

The majority of products use 55 kilo memory foam. Why?

  • It offers the immediate moulding effect and is not so temperature sensitive as higher density foams, and therefore works well in all climatic conditions.
  • It has more "open cells" and therefore has more air - this can reduce the "overheating" effect often associated with memory foam.
  • It does not compromise on durability – tests by Which?, a consumer magazine applied pressure equivalent to 10 years extreme use and it out-performed most other brands.
  • SleepShaper also knows the source of all raw materials used, and they conform to British fire regulations so you can rest easy.

What is Memoryfoam like to sleep on?

It takes time to get used to a memory foam mattress because the foam softens in response to your body heat so more of your body is in contact with the mattress. If you find it painful to lie down in bed, this type of bed should be more comfortable because the body's weight is spread more evenly on the mattress.

How do I select the right mattress?

It is important to try a memory foam mattress before you buy it. Wear the most pyjama-like clothing you can in public, take off your shoes and lie on the bed for 15 to 20 minutes. Relax in one position, then move into another to see how easy it is for you to move.

Once you've bought your mattress, make sure that the slats in your bed's base are no more than 6cm wide and more than 4cm apart. This ensures sufficient ventilation, but prevents the mattress sagging through the slats.

Final tips...

When delivered, many memory foams can often produce a chemical smell. The special SleepShaper composition means that there is less smell which will fade quickly once the products have been opened for use.

Avoid making your bed in the morning; drawing the covers up over a warm bed provides exactly the right warm, damp, dark environment for dust mites to breed.

VERY IMPORTANT...

Though these products may be helpful in alleviating pain and improving your day-to-day comfort, there is no substitute for treatment, particularly if you are suffering from an acute, or persistent problem. If your symptoms do not improve then come to one of our Free Drop-In Clinics in Edinburgh or Glasgow as you may be suffering from medical issues which need further investigation.

We cannot accept any liability for further injury you incur by purchasing products that may not be suitable, nor can we accept any liability for exacerbation or acceleration of any pre-existing condition.
