Hi Pete,
I’m sleeping hot on this memory foam mattress. What can I do about it? Thanks, Lisa Hi Lisa, Regardless if it’s memory foam causing you to sleep hot or if you’re naturally a hot sleeper, there is a product that will cool you off. The MagniFlex MagniCool 3D Mattress Topper does the job. It’s been home tested and proven, to me, that it works and works well. Here’s a link where you can view that topper.

Hi Pete,
I’m on my third memory foam mattress in as many years. I fell for the sales pitch about it being the best. Only after doing research recently, and finding your blog, do I now know what’s wrong with memory foam. Thank you for that. I should have done my research 3 years ago. The thing is, I like the feel of memory foam mattresses in the beginning. It’s shortly after the comfort guarantee expires is when it becomes uncomfortable. I sink into it further, causing my back to hurt. Is there a mattress that has the comfort of memory foam that will last a good long time? Preferably, one that doesn’t cause me to sleep warm or have a chemical smell? I’m so appreciative of all the great information that you’re willing to share. Thanks, El Hi El, In fact, there is a line of mattresses that provides the cozy, cradling feel that memory foam is known for, without any of the negative side effects. Popular in Europe for decades, Magniflex Mattresses are now being made here in the USA. These mattresses bring Italian engineering and innovation to America. Magniflex foam feels is Chemical Free and is NOT temperature sensitive, which is what causes memory foam to wear the way it does. There are 4 series in their line. The Classico model is their least expensive. The Toscana model is their most popular. The MagniCool models are great for people who sleep hot naturally. The MagniStretch models are designed to relieve back aches. Here’s a link showing all of their mattresses.

Am I to understand that a Magniflex Mattress won't make me feel like I’m sleeping in a skillet and that I won’t sink into it? That’s been the case with the last 3 mattresses I’ve purchased. Thanks, Lou Hi Lou, If that’s been your experience, your last 3 mattresses were upholstered with memory foam. Only memory foam is temperature sensitive. Being so, it softens as it warms from your body’s heat, which is why you sink so far into it. It absorbs your heat and then reflects it back to you, which it what causes you to sleep hot. The MemoForm in the Magniflex Mattresses do none of that. It does provide that cradling comfort that people like about memory foam, when it’s new, without any of the negative side effects….and unlike memory foam mattresses, Magniflex Mattresses last a very long time. If you’re a hot sleeper, naturally, I recommend the MagniCool series, which is specifically designed to cool you down. If you suffer from back pain, the MagniStretch series of mattresses are what to consider, which provides a gentle stretching of the back to relieve most back pain. Otherwise, you’ll be happy with any of them. Click on this link to view the Magniflex line of mattresses. Then click on each model to view specifications and prices.

I’ve been through 4 mattresses in as many years, which is what sent me to the internet to research what’s going wrong…which is where I found you. Based on some of the things I read on your blog, I’m now wondering if I really do need to buy a new mattress. Your blog suggests that it’s the memory foam in these mattresses that is causing them to wear out so quickly. Your blog explains that the memory foam is only on the top and that if I flip the mattress over and add a non-memory foam topper that I can get away with not having to replace this mattress. Does that really work? If so, which topper? Thanks, Lydia Hi Lydia, Yes. It works. Many of the people who write to me have problems with memory foam. Not only does it wear quickly, it sleeps hot and allows you to sink, which causes back pain and numbness in the arms, legs, hands & feet. Flipping the mattress over eliminates all of those problems. The topper serves to provide the surface comfort you need to sleep deeply. Which topper is a question of satisfying your personal needs. First thing to do is to flip your mattress over and try it for comfort. You should immediately feel an improvement in the way it supports. If you feel that it needs to feel much softer, the Suite Sleep 3” Pure Vita Talalay Latex Mattress Topper is your best option. If you only need a little extra softness, the one of our other toppers will address various other needs. For instance, the Magniflex MagniCool 3D topper will allow someone who naturally sleeps hot, to sleep much cooler. The Sleep & Beyond toppers are an excellent value. None of our latex products come from China, where fillers are used to reduce the cost of pure latex. A short lifespan goes along with Chinese made latex, making it a poor value. Our focus has always been about quality and the longevity that quality provides. Here is a link to our Mattress Toppers page.

I am currently working on an article about the best cooling mattress toppers. I am looking for a sleep expert to discuss what makes a material cooling, the best materials for cooling mattress pads, and the benefits of using a mattress pad. I am working on a deadline of July 3. Would you please let me know if you would be available to contribute insights for this article? I realize it's a holiday week so if you are unavailable, I completely understand. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you, Brooke Good Morning Brooke, Sleeping hot, for the most part, is a problem created by the mattress industry, which began about 25 years ago…slowly, at first…a big problem today. There are 2 reasons for needing a cooling mattress topper. 1. You have a mattress that’s upholstered with memory foam…a temperature sensitive material that absorbs your body heat and then reflects it back to you. (Many of today’s mattresses are upholstered with memory foam.) 2. You sleep hot naturally. A problem that’s more common with people carrying excess body weight. If you avoid memory foam upholstered mattresses, you’re less likely to need a cooling mattress topper. Many, so called, cooling toppers are memory foam mixed with a cooling gel. (The same gel found in Dr. Shoals insoles) The problem of heat is not fully addressed with this type of topper, as the gel reaches a saturation point half way through the night. There is a topper from Magniflex, an Italian company, which uses a proprietary material that actually works. How it works, I couldn’t say. I know it works because I’ve tested it on with some of my larger relatives who sleep hot naturally. Here’s a link to the Magniflex MagniCool 3D Mattress Topper. https://www.themattressexpert.com/magniflex_toppers.html#/ Adding this topper to a memory foam mattress does eliminate the sleeping hot problem, by creating a barrier between the mattress and the sleeper. A side benefit is that the mattress lasts longer, as the topper does some of the work of absorbing body weight. There is more to the memory foam story, concerning toxic off gassing and premature wear, if you’re interested. No one is policing this industry, so they’ve been able to get away with a lot.

I’m so glad that I found your mattress blog. I’ve learned a lot about the memory foam mattresses I’ve been buying. Over the past several years, I’ve purchased 3 memory foam mattresses. They all wore too quickly, slept hot and smelled bad. Every salesperson sold me on memory foam being the best all to end all. So, I didn’t know that the memory foam was the problem all along until I came across your incredibly informative blog. Here I am, once again, in need of a new mattress. I always liked the feel of the memory foam mattress that I’ve purchased, in the beginning. It was always only months later that the comfort started to fade. It never occurred to me that my wife and I were sleeping hot because of the memory foam, or that my frequent headaches were caused by the off gassing. I can’t thank you enough for the education. I’ve looked through your website and noticed your Magniflex Mattresses, which use MemoForm. You say that if I like memory foam, I’ll love Magniflex Mattresses. I’d like to hear more about why they’re better than memory foam mattresses. Thanks, Alan Hi Alan, Thank you. It’s gratifying to know that you’ve learned so much from reading my blog. The MemoForm foam used in Magniflex mattresses is proprietary material that’s unique to Magniflex. It was developed years ago by engineers in Italy. It was purposefully designed to provide the feel of memory foam, that so many people enjoy when those mattresses are new. The difference is enormous. Imagine, the feel of memory foam with the durability of latex foam, which has been the most resilient upholstery material for the last 100+ years. That’s MemoForm foam! Chemical Free…on off gassing…no headaches. Not a temperature sensitive material, like memory foam…no sleeping hot. No sinking in…no premature wear. What you’ll get it that comfy, cradling surface comfort you like, that stays that way for many, many years to come. Magniflex mattresses are now made in the US, with their components imported from Italy. Here’s a link to their entire line of mattresses. Magniflex Mattresses themattressexpert.com If you’re suffering with back pain, I recommend the MagniStretch series. If you are a hot sleeper, naturally, I recommend the MagniCool series.

We got all into the hype over getting a memory foam mattress, which is now giving us backaches. I assume that is because the memory foam is breaking down. We also find that we're sleeping hot and there's a chemical smell to it. We loved the feel, initially, but that only lasted for a couple of months. We're both back sleepers, and prefer a mattress on the firm side, but not hard. We are both under 200 lbs. and need good support for our backs. Thanks, Paul Hi Paul, You are not alone. A countless number of people are suffering, as you are. Memory foam is the worst upholstery material ever invented. It wears quickly, sleeps hot and off gassed the toxic chemicals from which it's made. It would be nice to get a mattress with that initial comfort, that doesn't have all those negative side effects? Now, you can! Magniflex Mattresses are THEE Healthy, Chemical Free, Cool & Durable Alternative to Memory Foam Made in Italy, this mattress is everything you wanted and everything you were promised.

What do you recommend as an Alternative to Memory Foam Mattresses? Memory foam mattresses always feel so good in the store, but not so much after a short while. As I've read many of your blog posts, and agree with your displeasure with the chemical off gassing. It actually made me sick. Can you recommend a mattress that feels similar, without all the negative side effects? Does such a mattress even exist? Thanks, Bethany Hi Bethany, Actually, such mattresses do exist...and there is good selection of them. As you may have read, common memory foam consists of 61 different chemicals, some of which are highly toxic. It's the off gassing of these toxic chemicals that made you sick. Common memory foam sleeps hot because it's a temperature sensitive material. It softens as it warms from your body heat, and then reflects that heat back to you. Common memory foam is specifically designed to wear quickly, so that it needs frequent replacing. And once it starts to wear, it throws off your spine's natural alignment, causing back pain. Made in Italy Magniflex Mattresses are Thee Healthy, Chemical Free, Cool & Durable Alternative to Memory Foam. Magniflex Mattresses really are so much better than common memory foam! Magniflex mattress have a similar feel to memory foam without any of the negative side effects. Magniflex mattresses are not temperature sensitive, so they sleep cool, and lasts for many years.
