Memory Foam Matress

Sleep Innovations Memory Foam Novaform

Why is my costco memory foam mattress so hard?

I purchased a sleep innovations novaform memory foam mattress at a costco store. I read the reviews both before and after I purchased it and no one else complains that the mattress is too hard. I never had sore hips and shoulders with my old mattress. Now I toss and turn to find a comfortable position and wake up sore. My husband loves the mattress because it gives him more support than our innerspring mattress. I feel like the princess and the pea complaining about a mattress that everyone else loves.

I would check the temperature in your bedroom. Memory foam is susceptible to temp changes, so it's possible your topper is hard because the room is cold. Try adjusting the room temp a little and see if it helps. Test the mattress during the day when it's very warm and see if it makes a difference.

Mattress Comparisons

Recently we talked about "How to Choose the Right Mattress for your Back." (Link last blog post here) I was in the market for a new mattress myself and those were important things to consider when trying to figure which one will work best.

I tested at least ten different mattresses before choosing the product for me. Let's discuss a few of those here. Before we get to the brands, first we must discuss mattress type:

The maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.

This data, as well as some of the data to follow comes from www.sleeplikethedead.com. This site has compiled a database of over 9,000 reviews from manufacturers' sites, consumer sites as well as from actual owners.

Air beds are not those blow up mattresses you use for the kids or guests. They are the main support in this style mattress and the firmness can be adjusted to personal preference. A dual-chambered bed allows each person to choose their own level of firmness. The main brands here are Sleep Number and Comfortaire.

Latex mattresses have independent cell construction that helps your partner sleep if you toss and turn a lot. These mattresses are extremely heavy and can trap your body temperature for a warm night.

Memory foam mattresses are made from just that, but you must be aware of the foam density. The characteristics of the bed are dictated by this.

Now let's see the results by brand. Each of these brands had a sample size of at least 80:

The maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.

Some of the mattresses I tested, such as the Heavenly Bed or the Stearns and Foster Memory Foam Mattress did not have a large enough sample size to make the above list.

Ultimately, I chose the Simmons Beautyrest Newberry extra firm mattress. I realized during this process that I do not like pillow top mattresses, but the plush on top of the very firm works for me.

Remember, there are many factors that go into picking a mattress and each is based on the individual. Think about which way you sleep, where the discomfort is, if any and what you are looking for. This is not something you should settle for. Proper rest is just as important as proper nutrition and exercise.
