The Wonderful Benefits of Foam Mattress Pads

In a world of ever increasing demands on our time, a proper amount of sleep is increasingly important in order to function mentally and physically.
As a matter of fact lack of sleep leads to a poor supply of oxygen in the body, which leads to a wide range of physical problems.
One of the most important factors in determining the quality of one's sleep is how comfortable they are in bed, and whether or not their mattress adequately supports their body.
People's opinions on mattress firmness varies widely, for instance, some enjoy a very soft mattress, while others prefer to sleep on a more firm surface.
However regardless which camp you're in, every mattress has a limited lifespan and needs to be replaced every 5 to 10 years.
If your mattress is entering the Golden years, one of the best ways to preserve your quality of sleep is to purchase a memory foam mattress pad.
Sometimes called a mattress topper, these phone covers contour to your body as you lie in bed, thereby placing much more support on your spine, neck and back.
In addition, they absorb movement much better than average mattress.
I'm sure you've seen the TV commercials with people jumping on their bed with a wine glass at the edge.
This is a tremendous benefit being that disturbing the other person in your bed is a thing of the past using a memory foam mattress or mattress pad.
They are made of polyurethane and other substances which increased density.
However not all mattress pads are created equal, some have a higher density factor than others.
In addition, they vary quite heavily in thickness, depending on quality and manufacturer.
They can range anywhere from 2 to 8 inches thick, with a density factor of 2 pounds to 5 pounds per cubic foot.
Here are several of the most significant benefits derived from using a foam pad:

• as mentioned above the contour and mold to your body to prevent gaps underneath your back, neck, and spine.
  This provides support and all of these critical areas, which ultimately leads to a better night sleep.
  
• risk of their discomfort is greatly minimized due to increased support as mentioned above.
  This is not the case with the average spring mattress since springs are much less evenly distributed throughout the surface area of the mattress
• Foam mattress has reduced headaches for those that frequently suffer from them as a result of neck discomfort.
  
• Improved blood circulation is another benefit, which allows for increased oxygen to various body parts.
  

If you have yet to discover the benefits of a foam mattress pad for yourself, and are having a difficult time sleeping at night due to your worn-out mattress, be sure to do so soon as possible, you won't regret it.
