Tossing and turning is a discomfort that keeps people awake at night, particularly as they age. Many elderly men and women have found added levels of comfort in a memory foam mattress, allowing them to sleep longer and better each night.

Though no scientific research has been done to prove or disprove that hypothesis, many believe that the heat sensitive sleep surface could be more comfortable on aging bones. Traditional spring mattresses push back against the body during the night. The pressure points, where skin gets trapped between spring and bone, can get incredibly uncomfortable. These pressure points are actually the cause of most nighttime tossing and turning. These pressure points are especially painful in elderly sleepers, as bones are weaker and skin much more prone to bruising.

A memory foam mattress is responsive to body weight and heat. Unlike a traditional spring mattress pushing back at you, memory foam actually sinks down when you lay on it. Visco-elastic mattress don't just minimize pressure points, they actually eliminate them.

In addition to the lack of springs causing discomfort, many find that they move less because of the way the material sinks around them. By creating a little nest for the sleeper, the mattresses minimize movement by letting people settle into the ideal resting position night after night.

When people toss and turn less they sleep more. It's important to have a full, uninterrupted sleep cycle to wake up feeling well rested. Though it doesn't work for everyone, memory foam has given great results to many elderly men and women.

Consider you spend one third of your life in bed before choosing a new Mattress. This crucial decision determines your quality of comfort and sleep for years to come. Be prepared to answer a few basic question when shopping like, soft or firm, king or queen size. It is important to understand the difference types of construction and the support each provides. There are four basic types of construction, open coil, pocket springs, memory foam, and latex foam.

Open Coil:

A traditional Mattress is made with open coil construction. Rows of metal coils are attached to the frame and connected together. The bed of springs is surrounded by generous layers of padding on all sides and the top. Some models offer an additional thick layer of padding called a pillow top. This type of construction creates a firm sleeping surface that offers firm support.
Pocket Springs:

Pocket spring construction differs from open coil because the springs are free and independent of each other and each spring or coil in separately wrapped in fabric. With pocket spring construction, the Mattress moulds to the shape of the body, one spring at a time, because the pocket springs move independently.
Memory foam:

A memory foam Mattress is made from high density Visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Make a handprint in this dense foam bed and watch as it returns to its original shape. This amazing foam offers support as it conforms to the contours of the body while providing complete comfort. Memory foam supports correct posture of a body lying on its side, by keeping the spine straight and supported.
Latex Foam:

Latex foam has superiority breathing capability which reduces the build up of body heat during sleep. There are two types of latex, natural and the more durable synthetic. Some manufacturers mix both natural and synthetic in their latex foam beds to make add increased durability and a longer life span. The benefits of a latex foam bed are the way it conforms to body contours keeping the spine straight, the foam is breathable preventing overheating during the night, and latex foam will always return to its original shape.
