If you're considering buying a memory foam bed, you'll want to know a few things before you go out and purchase one. Besides cost, you'll need to know how quality differs between brands as well as which ones to avoid. This guide will help you determine how best to spend your hard earned cash. It's your sleep we're talking about here. Don't sacrifice it because you wanted to save a few bucks. It really isn't worth it. The Ominous Scent When you first take your memory foam bed out of its plastic, you should detect a strong odor. This scent comes from the bed's materials and is normal. While the smell has not been known to cause harm, those that are sensitive to strong scents are sometimes irritated by it. If you're sensitive to scents, you can do a few things. Most say that just opening a window works wonders. You should also wash your sheets in the morning after the first few nights on your new memory foam bed. There are also some people swear by a bowl of vinegar on the nightstand to eliminate the mattress odor. What About Organic Memory Foam Beds? The short answer: sort of. While there are brands that are advertised as organic, a mattress can't be considered an official memory foam bed if the ingredients are more than 5% soy based, all natural and organic. If you're okay with not having an "official" memory foam bed, there are a few options out there. Where Should I Buy My Memory Foam Bed? Your best bet would be from manufacturers in the U.S. This is because U.S. brands tend to be "graded" higher on such categories as resilience, weight and the hardness or softness of the bed. Some U.S. brands have their memory foam beds manufactured overseas. These beds tend to be lower on the quality scale because of their "leveling out" out with continued use, safety and support problems. They also don't last nearly as long as memory foam beds manufactured in the U.S. A notable exception is Swedish companies that introduced memory foam technology to the world.
