A queen-size memory foam mattress is an excellent option for both single sleepers and couples. Why? Continue reading this and find out why.
The standard size of a queen size mattress is 60x80 inches; while single sleepers would enjoy sleeping with this bed size, some couple may feel cramped in it. However, if couples will choose a queen-sized memory foam mattress, having enough personal space on the bed together will be out of the question because of the superior motion isolation that most memory foam mattresses have.
Here are the top FAQs about queen-sized memory foam mattress that you should know:
#1: What is motion isolation in a memory foam mattress?
One of the best features that memory foam mattresses have is ‘motion isolation’ – referred to how well a mattress can absorb and isolate motions from reaching the other person on the bed. In other words, motion isolation helps motion transfer from one side of the bed to the other side, reducing any chances of disturbing the other sleepers on the bed. So,this is one is great when you do not want to disturb your bed sharer or get disturbed by your bed sharer during sleep.
#2: How thick should your memory foam mattress be?
The level of comfort that you can get from a memory foam mattress may depend on the degrees of the firmness of the mattress, which is also quintessential to these following factors:
The body type
Sleeping position
Preferences
The Body Type
Whatever the mattress is made from, it will respond to weight; this is why when choosing the right mattress, you also need to consider your body type:
Weigh less than 130 pounds. Lighter people should consider a mattress that is 12 inches tall or thick. This level of thickness will conform to their body, reducing pressure points and preventing backaches.
Weigh between 130 – 230 pounds. Average-size sleepers should consider a 10-12 inch thick mattress – a medium-thick mattress.
Weigh more than 230 pounds. Plus-size sleepers may consider a 12-14 inches mattress, with a comfort layer at least 5-6 inches thick. Since plus-size sleepers may tend to sink more, they should consider a thicker but comfortable mattress that can support the body and prevent mattress sinkage.
Sleeping Positions
The mattress’s level of thickness and your sleeping position has a huge impact on sleep quality. For this reason, it is essential to choose a mattress base on your sleeping preferences in connection with the mattress’s thickness.
Side sleepers should consider a mattress with 12 – 14 inches thick for enough support or cushion to the shoulders and hips.
Back sleepers should consider a mattress with 10 – 12 inches thick that can support the natural curve of the spine, which can help prevent spinal misalignment.
Stomach sleepers will need a 10-inch thick mattress with a thin comfort layer but provide a firm sleeping surface. This type of mattress will help reduce the chances of acquiring spinal misalignment.
Combo sleepers may opt for mattresses with 12-inch thick. This thickness will provide a comfortable sleep for combo sleepers that switch side, back, or stomach.
Preferences
If you share a bed with your pet or with your partner, you need a mattress with 10 – 12 inches thick layers.
If a sleeper has a specific medical condition, mattresses 8-12 inches thick with a medium feel are often recommended.
If you are a hot sleeper, you need a foam mattress with induced cooling gel; preferably 10 – 12 thick layers.
#3: Are all queen-sized memory foam mattresses expensive?
On average, most of the queen-sized memory foam mattresses play at $1000 - $2000. Fortunately, some companies or sellers offer a trial period of a maximum of 120 days, where you can return the mattress and get a refund. However, the return and refund policy may differ for every seller.
