Memory Foam Mattress Ratings - How the Beds Rate on Comfort, Durability and More

You won’t ever regret buying a memory foam mattress. Studies have shown that memory foam mattresses offer unmatched comfort and support. Memory foam mattresses are especially helpful for people with neck or back problems, injuries or anyone just looking for a wonderful night’s sleep. If you want to finally wake up feeling well rested, use these ratings to help you decided which one is the best.

Memory Foam Compared to Other Mattresses
According to independent study and surveys, more people enjoyed and appreciated memory foam mattresses than not. Collectively, they have a group comfort rating of 85 percent. Memory foam mattresses rate higher than other mattresses in durability and investment as well. Customers choose memory foam mattresses over eight percent of the time. Only 58 percent of customers choose innerspring mattresses and 78 percent of people choose water mattresses or water beds.

Memory Foam Mattress Ratings According to Brands
You cannot buy just any old memory foam mattress and expect it to be a good quality mattress. The most important rule of thumb to keep in mind is that not all memory foam mattresses are created equal. Some brands choose to make their mattresses from the best materials. Unfortunately, not all companies choose to provide such good quality mattresses.

You’ll find the names of several memory foam mattress manufacturers below and the rating that customers gave their product. These percentages are the percent of memory foam mattress owners that found the brand to be comfortable.

Bergad/Isoform 85%
Sleep Innov/Novaform/Costco 82%
Tempur-Pedic 79%

Before seeing these results, you might have expected Tempur-Pedic to be ranked highest in overall customer satisfaction. According to customer surveys, it actually ranked lowest compared to two other less expensive brands. It is important to read customer surveys and independent studies to know what mattresses get the best rankings before you buy your memory foam mattress. Just because the mattress has an expensive price tag doesn’t mean that you are going to get a top quality product. Do your research to make sure you’ll be happy with what you pay for.
