What Is Being Concealed:

Many of the same companies selling compressed mattresses also sell do-it-yourself foundations. These foundations are packaged in small boxes with a number of nuts, bolts, and other materials that require assembly.

What You Need To Know:

The quality of these foundations is often inferior. In addition, companies often do not accept returns of these types of foundations.

How To Spot Inferior Construction:

The construction of a quality memory foam mattress should be broken down into layers. The purpose of layering is to increase the lifespan of a bed.

There is less wear and tear on a bed with more layers because weight gets distributed evenly throughout the layers.

The Long Term Consequences:

The most common complaint for beds made with fewer layers of foam is that, over time, they provide less support. When there is less support, a hammock effect is created. The heaviest areas of a person’s body sink deeper and the beds need to be replaced.

Some Comparisons Are Misleading:

Many other companies don’t reveal their specs because their construction doesn’t measure up with Tempur-Pedic® in a side-by-side comparison.

The overall height of a foam mattress should never be used as a basis for comparison. The comparison needs to be based on the actual amount and density of the memory foam.

What Is At Stake:

Many companies substitute less expensive materials to increase the height of their mattresses. These lower density memory foams and fillers tend to break down much faster.

Some Companies Conceal Imported Memory Foam:

Companies who sell imported foam rarely reveal where their foam is made. The most common mistake that people make is accidentally buying memory foam that is made in China.

Initially, imported beds may look and feel the same, but differences in the quality may be evident in the first six to eighteen months. As the foam breaks down, the bed gets softer and people complain that it feels like they're sleeping in a hole.

Importers bring in both fully assembled mattresses and sheets of foam called cores. The companies who import foam cores often give video tours and show pictures of their factories on their websites so that people assume that the foam is American made.

They’re careful to use phrases like:

• Crafted In America
• Assembled In America
• Manufactured In America
• American Components

How To Avoid The Risks:

You need to ask specifically, in what country is the memory foam made?

These companies don't own overseas factories where they can control the quality. Importers choose factories based on the cheapest price.

To remain competitive, some factories cut corners. Memory foam is sold by weight and it's possible to use fillers to increase the weight. Like other Chinese products, importers don't know what materials or chemicals a factory substitutes.
