What’s The Deal With Natural Memory Foam Mattresses?

Would you like to contribute a guest article? If so, shoot Missy an email. Thanxs!What is the deal with natural memory foam mattresses? What are they made of, how do they work, and what is the difference between a traditional memory foam mattress, and a natural memory foam one?
These are the questions i had, for this article. So let’s take a look and see. I am going to get my research from a company called Essentia, as they seem to be everywhere and they state they are the only North American manufacturers of natural memory foam mattresses.
According to Essentia, most memory foam mattresses are petroleum based. (Let’s all together say, “We use oil for EVERYTHING”) If you are looking mostly for comfort and support, as opposed to the eco friendliness of a mattress, then any kind of memory foam mattress is still your best bet.
If you are looking mostly for the health properties (and eco benefits) from your bedding, then mattresses made out of a water-based foam is what you want. These types of foam mattresses are based from water, essential oils, and plant extracts. Heck, maybe they are edible, too.
One thing about memory foam mattresses is that they are priced higher than traditional mattresses (as is most green stuff) for the same reasons: the manufacturing process is different, the manufacturing location may be US based, and most importantly MASS DEMAND is not there yet.
What is your opinion on natural memory foam mattresses? And other memory foam bedding? Weigh in below in the comments section. Thanxs!

I’m not a huge fan of memory foam mattresses. Granted, my experience was on a cheaper one we got from Wal-Mart after Hurricane Katrina. It felt great for the first few weeks but then it felt too soft. Also, it could get very hot at night because it seemed to radiate your body heat back to you. I guess that would be fine up north but not so good here in New Orleans.

Memory Foam Mattresses are not natural. They are made of polyurethane foam. It is the density of the polyurethane foam that gives memory foam a really nice feel. When you sink into the memory foam it pushes back up at you and creates a feeling of support and a feeling of being cradled in the foam.
If you are looking for a mattress that is 100% natural with a feeling similar to memory foam then go for a natural latex foam mattress. There are many types of latex foam. Some types of latex foams combine both synthetic foams and natural foams. These are not natural latex. Some are made of pure 100% natural latex. ErgoSoft latex is 100% natural latex.
The feeling of latex is similar to memory foam but it is not identical. Memory foam is softer and latex foam is firmer.
At (my site) we offer both memory foam and latex foam mattresses at low discount prices.
These are one of my favorite types of mattresses. Especially when you just sink into it and it contours to your body. I have always gone to places I can lay on the bed but can never afford to get one. Nonetheless it is a true experience to never forget.
