Memory Foam Mattress helps the whole body

You’ve probably heard how a memory foam mattress supports the body to make sure you get the perfect night’s sleep, but did you know how much of the body is actually supported by memory foam and the health benefits a memory foam mattress can provide?

As mentioned, the main benefit of a memory foam mattress is the all over body support that is offered. Since the foam moulds to the shape of the body, each and every part of your body is supported all night. If you suffer from any aching in the neck, shoulder, back or knees then memory foam matresses can help to relax and protect the joints during the night.

Memory foam is particularly suited for anyone with back issues as the foam fully supports both the upper and lower back, even as you move around throughout the night. Since the human backbone is actually curved, a Sleepshaper memory foam mattress moulds to adapt to the shape of the spine. This means that you will be sleeping in the most relaxed position possible all night. This is great for anyone with an existing back ache or to help prevent any back problems in elderly people.

For people who partake in regular sporting or physical activities, a memory foam mattress has two benefits. As well as offering a relaxed, comfortable and supportive sleep after exercise, the memory foam is also useful during any injuries. If you injure your knee or elbow during sport then the ‘shaping’ nature of memory foam helps to create a mould to rest any painful joints or muscles.

If you are busy on your feet all day and suffer from an urge to move in order to stop an uncomfortable or odd sensation in your leg when you rest at night, then you may suffer from restless leg syndrome.  This can cause many restless nights and memory foam is known to help with this problem.

So when you feel those aches and pains in the body from a long evening’s exercise or are suffering from a bad back from sitting in an uncomfortable chair all day, think of the great night sleep you could be having on a cheap memory foam mattress from Cosy Mattress.
