Tempurpedic Mattress Density
All of the Tempurpedic sleep systems have a minimum of 5.3 lbs per cubic feet density. The memory foam mattress density is the weight of the specific volume of the foam. The density is what provides the visco foams conforming performance and how well the mattress reacts to your body temperature. The higher density results in increased support and more sensitivity. Higher density memory foams are also more durable and can last longer than lower density memory foams.
Benefits of High Density Foam
The high density mattresses by Tempurpedic beds have been proven to relieve the painful pressure points especially in the hip and side areas of the body. The more the body conforms to the material the healthier comfort and sleep you will receive. In the Tempurpedic mattresses there are billions of open cells, the open cell structure is breathable and promotes air flow. The air is pushed out of the mattress when pressure is applied and the density of the mattress will provide the exact conforming performance for the body.
High Density vs Low Density
Mattresses with high density last so much longer than mattresses with low density. The High density mattresses have billions of tiny open cells that are packed tightly together which makes the mattress heavy and very supportive. The low density mattresses have larger and fewer open cells. The pressure made on the mattress with low density will quickly conform to the body but over time the low density mattress won’t last as long as high density. The larger open cells will break down faster because it has less substance. TempurPedic mattress foam and other high density mattresses have longer memory and softens slowly in response to body temperature. So you can see the memory foam mattress density plays a large roll in performance and longevity.
