Memory Foam Mattress Topper Review; Award Winning Sensus vs the “Green” Aerus
This review will focus on two memory foam mattress toppers produced by Foamex®: the award winning Sensus®, and the truly innovative “green” Aerus® foam.
According to many Foamex® retailers these are the top two selling memory foam mattress topper brands produced by Foamex®. Each foam offers unique selling points.
The memory foam mattress toppers similarities
Both Sensus® and Aerus® are produced by North America’s largest foam manufacturer, Foamex®. Both brands feature a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty. Both foams are manufactured using Foamex’s patented Variable Pressure Foaming (VPF) process.
The memory foam mattress toppers differences
Sensus® is a 5 lb density foam, which means that one cubic foot of its material will weight 5 lbs. While Aerus® has a 4 lb density. Aerus® is also a “softer” foam and carries and IFD (or firmness) rating of 12. While, its counter-part Sensus® has an IFD rating of 13.
Sensus® is a more established brand as evidenced by its “Best Overall” award for memory foam by the Wall Street Journal.
Aerus® happens to be one of the first truly environmentally-friendly “green” memory foams available to the consuming public. In fact, Foamex® introduced the re-manufactured product line this March at the 2008 ISPA Expo in Baltimore Maryland.
Aerus® is a “cooling memory foam” and features open-cell memory foam which prevents excess heat and dissipates moisture quickly. This revolutionary design circulates air up to eight times more efficiently than other similar memory foam mattress toppers.
