A Look at Foam Mattresses
We've all been there. First, we spend a sleepless night, tossing and turning. Then we spend the next two days with body aches, sore from head to toe. The effects of a bad mattress can be serious.
Then we face the daunting prospect of shopping for a new mattress.
This task can be a bit intimidating. There are so many different prices, sizes, styles, and firmness to choose from. They come in drastically different materials, as well. Mattresses can be filled with air, water, fabric, feathers, springs or foam. One of the most popular -- especially for people suffering body pain -- is the foam mattress.
Foam mattresses are popular because of their body-contouring nature.
The foam literally reshapes to mold to the user's body. This is designed to strategically place pressure where needed, while relieving the strain on other points. It is believed that this relieves pressure from the neck, spine, and lower back, eliminating much of the soreness and pain associated with regular mattresses.
The foam mattress is not entirely without drawbacks, though. Some people complain about the body-contouring nature that it's famous for. If, for some reason, you are not happy with the newly molded shape, you cannot change it.
Some reports also say that the foam loses resiliency quickly. Others complain that the foam gets extremely hot, causing sweating and clamminess. Despite these complaints, many people do prefer foam mattresses.
If, after doing research, you decide to buy a foam mattress, they are available from most bedding stores. Some of the more popular foam mattresses are the Sealy Reflexion, the Tempur-Pedic, and the Isoform.
A-Bed offers a memory foam bed by Dormia. The Versailles by Dormia is offered for $447, including shipping.
Foam Order offers foam mattress pads.
These fit on top of your existing mattress to create a body-contouring surface. They start at $248 for a Queen sized 3-inch pad. Foam Order also offers a selection of foam mattresses..

A Guide to Memory Foam Mattresses
The problem with many mattresses is that they just don't fit your body. They are either rigid and resist the curves of your shape or they are overly soft and "give way" beneath you. The memory foam mattress was created in answer to this problem.
Memory foam is a material that is designed to be "viscoelastic." This means that it will conform to your body, but it also has the ability to return to its original shape if forced. This material molds to the body, offering support and relieving pressure where needed.
If you are shopping for a memory-foam mattress at a discount and you don't mind shopping online, check out Overstock.
Overstock sells the overstock merchandise from other companies, often at deep discounts. At the time of this writing, Overstock sells a large variety of memory foam mattresses, memory foam pillows, and memory foam topper.

Why Your Mattress May Be Killing You
The organic movement, which started with organic food, is moving to the bedroom in a big way. "The bedroom? " you say. Yes, my dear, the bedroom, where organic mattresses and organic bedding are becoming an important new trend in the quest for a healthier lifestyle.The organic bedroom trend is motivated by some very recent disturbing discoveries about the petroleum-based foam mattresses most of us sleep on every night. Studies of household dust have confirmed that your mattress is likely one of the most significant sources of cancer-causing chemicals in your home. The average mattress consists of petroleum-based foam covered in petroleum-based polyester fabric.
During its 10-year average lifetime, a foam mattress loses up to half its weight, and the lost weight goes on your bedroom floor in the form of toxic dust and in the air in the form of formaldehyde gas which is a by-product of the foam breakdown. Those dust bunnies under your bed could be a real threat to your health, unless...
