Memory foam has been around for a while now, and for a long time, Tempurpedic was the sole manufacturer of its type. Over the years, many other companies decided to make their own version of the memory foam mattress, and this competition forced prices to come down, making memory foam mattresses much more affordable. However, if you are looking for a top quality product, you can still expect to pay a fairly high price. Other companies manufacturing memory foam mattresses include Sealy, Simmons, Dormia and Sleep Aids. Although Tempurpedic puts out an excellent product, and guarantees your satisfaction, you can’t really go wrong, but they are not cheap. There are less expensive options for you to choose from, But be very careful and do your research before you invest in a mattress that won’t live up to your expectations.

Not all memory foam mattresses are made the same, for instance, there are several different densities in memory foam. Generally, the higher the density, the higher you can expect to pay. The products you will usually find range from 2.5lb density to 5lb density. The density is how much one cubic foot of the foam weighs, and the higher the density, the firmer the foam. You should avoid any foam having a density less than 3.5 if you would like a quality product. Be very careful of low advertised prices, as they may be either defective, bad pours of foam, low quality and run the risk of not being durable. 5lb density foam may be too firm for some, and just perfect for others, so the best way to get what you want is to try them out yourself, ask plenty of questions pertaining to foam quality and durability.

When shopping for a futon, consumers should also consider what type of futon mattress they will want. Futon mattresses are usually made of either cotton or foam, or a combination.

When buying a futon mattress, you will need to think about how the futon will be used. The answer to this question will greatly affect the type of mattress you should buy. If the futon will be used as a bed, you will need to buy the thickest futon mattress you can afford. You can save money by buying a thinner mattress, but at the cost of your comfort.

Will the futon be used as both a couch and as a bed? If so, the mattress will have to endure a lot of folding. In this case, you will need a futon mattress that is very flexible. An innerspring mattress or a cotton-polyester blend is probably a good choice. Mattresses containing foam are also good possibilities as foam is good at conforming to new shapes. Foam mattresses also give added support.

Futon mattresses are available from such well-known manufacturers as Simmons, Beautyrest, and Sealy. They can range in price from way under $100 to several hundred dollars, depending on size, brand name, construction, and materials.

Futons Store offers futon mattresses with free shipping; Overstock often sells futon mattresses at deep discounts over retail; Department stores such as Target, WalMart, and JC Penney sell futon mattresses.

It is also a good idea to buy a futon mattress cover for your futon. This will protect it from staining and the need for frequent washing. This, in turn, extends the longevity of your futon mattress. In addition, the cover adds a touch of color and style to your futon.
