Sometimes you do not have to say a lot in words, to “say a lot”, as was the case with a Rocky Mountain Mattress, memory foam mattress testimonial we received a few days ago. The customer purchased a top of the line memory foam mattress, and had this to say about it:

The Mattress came on the exact day it was supposed to. It was exactly as described. It is the most comfortable mattress in the house. I could not be happier with the product or the service.

Thank you

I love hearing stories (no matter how long) like this, and the thing that stood out in my mind the most was - “the most comfortable mattress in the house”. I really do love hearing from our customers at Rocky Mountain Mattress, and if you are in the market for a new mattress, don’t just take our word for it - take the word of an actual Rocky Mountain Mattress customer.

Memory foam was originally developed by NASA to decrease the very high pressure caused by the extreme g-force occurring during the take-off of the space shuttle. It was never used in the space program but was subsequently used medically, for example by patients who used to lie in bed on hard or very firm mattresses for long periods of time without regularly moving such as being bed-bound after a paralyzing stroke. The pressure over some of their bony regions decreased or stopped the blood flow to the region causing horrific pressure sores and/or gangrene. Memory foam mattresses helped hugely to decrease such events.

Memory foam was initially too expensive for general use, but in recent years it has become cheaper to produce and is now widely available. Its most common domestic uses are mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers (also known as mattress pads). It still has medical uses, such as wheelchair seat cushions, hospital bed pillows and padding for persons suffering long-term pain or postural problems; for example, a memory foam cervical pillow may alleviate chronic neck pain. Its heat-retaining properties may help some pain sufferers who find the added warmth helps to decrease the pain.

A memory foam mattress is usually denser than an ordinary foam mattress. This makes it more supportive – but also heavier. It is often seen as a good compromise between the comfort of a soft mattress and the supportiveness of a firm one. Memory foam mattresses often sell for more money than traditional mattresses but they last longer.

Recently I purchased a memory foam mattress topper for my 5 year old son because the mattress we have for him is not a very expensive (or comfortable one-and he had been complaining about it) so my wife and I figured we could try out a memory foam mattress topper from Rocky Mountain Mattress before trying anything else.

We knew about Rocky Mountain Mattress because a friend had purchased a memory foam mattress through them, and swore by not only the comfort of the mattress, but the customer service level of the company. So because of our friend we decided to give them a try, and it has been the best mattress related decision we have made in a while. We will be purchasing again (by the way) from Rocky Mountain Mattress.

Here is what my 5 year old wanted me to tell Rocky Mountain Mattress about his new memory foam mattress topper that fits perfectly over his existing mattress:

“It feels like I am sleeping in the clouds daddy, and I love my bed now!”

Here is a picture of a memory foam mattress topper sample, to get a better idea how it sits over your current mattress:

Here at Rocky Mountain Mattress, we are committed to providing you with the best possible experience when buying a mattress. I recently found a quote that I thought was appropriate to our mantra.

“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.”
-Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com Founder)

The “memory foam mattress” industry is extremely competitive, especially on the web. Because of this we have tried to create the reputation of great customer service, the highest quality product, and competitive prices so that our customers will keep coming back.

I found it ironic that the most appropriate quote comes from the founder of the most successful web marketplace in the history of the internet. Reputation is an absolute necessity online. Because it is all you have. If you walk into a mattress store (or any other for that matter), you can touch the product, speak to someone for help, and compare products. And purchasing anything on the web is a drastically different experience. That experience is based on trust. Trust that the site is going to do what they promised. Trust that the product is going to be quality, trust that if something goes wrong, the company will stand behind their name and deliver.

That is why we at Rocky Mountain Mattress are determined to earn your trust and become your only source for the best in Memory Foam Mattresses.

Little bits of heaven, thats what.

But seriously, exactly what is memory foam?

Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Depending on the chemicals used and its overall density, it is firmer in cool temperatures and softer when warm. Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat which allows it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes.

What makes it so much better than a normal mattress?

Memory Foam Mattresses provide much more natural support for your body as you sleep. They last longer than normal mattresses. They allow you to rest comfortably and wake up without any aches or pains.

Ever slept over at a friends house, stayed with a relative, or just been forced to sleep on a “blow up mattress”? If so, you know the perils of sleeping on one of these “comfortable” mattresses. And, you have likely awoken to all manner of stiffness, cramping, or possible injury.

To avoid these terrible fates, a restful and comfortable night’s sleep on a Tri-Fold Memory Foam Folding Bed is in order. Here are 10 reasons you want to go with the cloud-softness and comfort of the Tri-Fold Memory Foam Folding Bed over the unreliably awkward and possibly dangerous air mattress.

1. Your air mattress may pop. Air mattresses are unreliable, and easily punctured by many different household objects. If this happens while you’re sleeping on the mattress, you won’t soon forget or forgive the incident.
2. You can’t get comfortable on an air mattress. Because they are filled with air. Air mattresses move based on your body and anyone you’re sleeping next to. This means if your partner rolls over, you may roll off. Tossing and turning can become a dangerous ordeal.
3. You don’t get the necessary support your body needs. Because you’re sleeping on an uneven bed of air. The air doesn’t adjust for back support, neck support, or any special needs you may have.
4. Air mattresses need air pumps. Or strong lungs. One of those options costs money and can break, the other can lead to unconsciousness. Either way, you’re paying too high a price to get a poor nights sleep.
5. Memory Foam Mattresses provide support. You don’t need to worry about bumping your partner off the bed with a wrong move, each of you will get a sound night’s sleep on your folding beds.
6. Memory Foam is temperature sensitive. At higher temperatures (your body heat temperature) memory foam softens as it is supporting you.
7. Guests Love Tri-Fold Memory Foam Mattresses. If you pull out the air pump and start blowing up the mattress for your guests, their smiles will be fake. Because they know they’re in for a poor nights sleep. But if you reach in the closet and come out with Tri-fold memory foam mattresses, their smiles will be as genuine as their sleep.
8. Memory Foam Folding Beds are easy to transport. Going camping? Why spend 40 minutes blowing up your air mattress and another hour letting your lungs recover? With the memory foam folding bed you simply remove the mattress from the car, and unfold it. Easy, right?
9. Memory Foam Folding Beds last longer. You go through a new air mattress every year, you buy one memory foam folding mattress and it lasts for at least 10 years, just under warranty.
10. You can receive free shipping on your Tri-Fold Memory Foam Mattress. So what are you waiting for??!? Buy a brand new portable mattress that provides comfort, support, and is vastly superior to your air mattress.

The Evolution Custom Coach Staff posted the the following memory foam review.

At Evolution Custom Coach we design and build custom buses for a large variety of customers including Greyhound bus. Recently, we ordered several custom memory foam beds from Rocky Mountain Mattress.

The width and length we needed for the bus was that of a standard Queen (60 W by 80L) but the height was only 4”. We had been unable to find any company that could provide an actual foam mattress with this depth. There were plenty of companies selling memory foam mattress toppers, but we needed a foam mattress. Obviously, we were excited when Rocky Mountain Mattress told us they had made 4” foam mattresses for the U.S. Coast Guard and others.

Of course, we were a little worried about trusting a company that we had never worked with before to build the memory foam beds. However, we are proud to say that we were so pleased with the company’s service that we just referred a guy from FedEx looking for a custom truck mattress for his semi trucks.

As we get closer on a few jobs, we will need some additional memory foam beds and we know who we will be turning to.

Thank you Rocky Mountain Mattress!
