Nearly all people expend a third of their lives in bed. Everybody knows that. Eight hours at work, eight hours 'at play' and eight hours asleep. We even say: 'I have to get my eight hours beauty sleep'. I know that some can do with less and that children, especially teenagers, it seems, require more. So, it makes sense to pass those eight hours a day, or night, as comfortably as possible, does it not?
After all, you would not like to work at a desk that was too low or too high and you would not like to walk around in shoes that pinched. It is the same. You have to have the tools that allow you to do the job as easily as you can and the tool for sleeping is a bed and its bedding.
In fact, the bed and the bedding must be chosen rather carefully if you are going to get the best night's sleep you can, which means that no-one can purchase a bed for you and be certain of making the correct choices. There is more chance of getting it right with some materials than others and one of those materials is memory foam.
This is because memory foam shapes itself to the contours of a body by reacting to its heat and weight. It provides more support over a larger area than conventional materials, This is most important in the mattress and the pillow. Some people have to have or prefer a stiff or a soft mattress, that is personal preference, but the pillow is more universal.
All our heads and necks are pretty much the same. However, once again memory foam pillows are that little bit more adaptable to each individual's characteristics. However, you would be wrong to suppose that all pillows are the same size like the customary cotton sack filled with feathers or whatever. Foam, conventional or memory, can be cut to any shape and some people find wedge shaped pillows more comfortable.
Then some people prefer small pads for cushions and others prefer four foot bolsters. There are even sectional pillows made up of up to a dozen pieces that you can assemble into practically any design.
Memory foam pillows return to their original shape once you get off them. It might take an hour but that is why they are known as memory foam pillows. This means that they do not need fluffing up every now and again. Being inorganic, they are hypoallergenic, impervious to mildew and dust mite resistant, which will help a lot of allergy sufferers.
Memory foam pillows are comfortable for sleeping on your back or side. They are not the cheapest pillows on the market, but the price is coming down all the time and they will last quite a few years if you get a good one. See if one of your local retailers can show you a sample or even allow you a thirty day satisfaction warranty then you have no risk.
