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:

This is the kind of stuff we like hearing at Rocky Mountain Mattress and we know that good sleep is just a conversation away. Please let us know your sleeping situation, and how we can help you improve it.

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.

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.
