3 Affordable Memory Foam Mattresses that are Perfect for You

With so many great mattresses to choose from, finding the perfect one may seem challenging at first. But it’s easy to narrow your options once you know what to look for.

What A New Mattress Can Do For You

A good mattress is essential for a good night’s sleep. But unlike other furniture in your home, you can’t choose one based on how it looks. You need to find out what’s inside. The materials in your mattress will determine how it feels, how comfortable it is and how long it lasts. And since you probably won’t replace your mattress again for several years, it pays to choose wisely.

Need Some Suggestions?

These days, memory foam mattresses are a popular option for those who love the feel of a soft, yet supportive mattress that gently cradles the body.

Memory foam mattresses are known for their exceptional pressure-point relief. By enveloping the body and evenly distributing your weight, they reduce the pressure points that cause tossing and turning at night. End result: a blissful, uninterrupted night’s sleep with no soreness in the morning. Who doesn’t want that?

Let’s take a look at three affordable memory foam mattresses we offer at Ben’s:

  1. Constitution Mattress

    This is a great mattress for those who want to experience the benefits of memory foam at a great price. It offers everything you expect from a great-quality memory foam mattress: the perfect blend of body-cradling softness and durable support.

    The Constitution Mattress uses a High-Density Performance Foam Core to provide the deep, rejuvenating support your body needs, in addition to long lasting comfort. The core is topped by a thick layer of gel-infused memory foam, which conforms to your body and helps to reduce the build-up of pressure points in your muscles.

    Gel-infused memory foam provides even better air flow, support and motion resistance than traditional foams.

  2. Englander Mattresses

    Englander mattresses aren’t just comfortable—they’re affordable. The company offers a full lineup of products, so that there’s an option for every budget. And no matter which model you choose, you can trust it to provide the superior comfort and quality that Englander is known for.

    Englander’s motto is “Better Sleep, By Design.” That vision is clearly evident in every mattress it makes. That’s because all Englander mattresses are manufactured with quality materials to help eliminate the pressure points that cause tossing.

    Remember: by reducing the build up of pressure-points, you’ll sleep more soundly and wake up feeling more rejuvenated every morning. This is where Englander excels.

    Englander takes a 360-degree approach to ensuring a great night’s sleep. As such, the company incorporates a wide range of features in its mattresses to help improve sleep quality even further. Specially designed innerspring coils, for example, help to prevent motion transfer, so that your sleep isn’t interrupted by a tossing partner. Gel-infused memory foam layers conform to your body to distribute your weight evenly.

  3. Niagra Mattress

    The Niagra Mattress goes even further to make you feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. Ultra-comfortable and affordable, it’s made with multiple foam layers to envelop your body with softness and also reduce tossing.

    A High-Density Performance Core provides support in all the right places, so your hips, back and neck all stay properly aligned at night (say goodbye to uncomfortable cricks and aches in the morning).

    A luxurious High-Density Soft Foam delivers enhanced comfort, along with an additional layer of gel-infused memory foam. These foams work together seamlessly to provide a super-soft and cozy sleeping surface that also provides incredible pressure-point relief.

Memory Foam vs. Innerspring Mattresses: What’s the Difference?

A great night’s sleep begins with the perfect mattress. But since each person has their own unique sleep patterns and comfort preferences, it’s important to weigh your options carefully.

What Mattress Is Perfect For You?

Mattresses have come a long way over the years. You’re no longer limited to the same coil-style mattresses that your grandparents used. Let’s test memory foam vs. innerspring mattresses.  

Which mattress style is right for you? Let’s look at some of the key differences to help you decide.

  1. Innerspring Mattresses

    An innerspring mattress is made with a framework of metal coils. These coils are what give the mattress its springy feeling. The thickness of the coils typically influences how firm the mattress is. Coils are measured in gauges, with higher gauges meaning the coil is thinner. So, for example, a 15-gauge coil innerspring will feel softer than a 13-gauge.

    These coils aren’t the only factor affecting the softness. Innersprings are typically padded with numerous layers of foam. These foam layers vary in size, material and purpose. Some are intended to provide support. Some provide added softness. Some help to relieve pressure points from your body, thus reducing tossing during the night.

    Innerspring Advantages:

    • Wide variety of styles available, allowing you to choose the unique level of softness you prefer
    • New innerspring mattresses from brands are quieter and more advanced than ever, helping to reduce motion and conform to your body
    • Good for those who like the feel of a traditional mattress and don’t want to ruin a good thing

    Innerspring Disadvantages:

    • Lower-quality innersprings have a more “bouncy” feel, which creates more mattress motion – so if your partner tosses, your side moves too
  2. Memory Foam Mattresses

    A memory foam mattress has no innerspring. The core is made entirely of memory foam or another type of foam core, sometimes topped with additional foam layers.

    When you lie on a memory foam mattress, one of the first things you will notice is that it doesn’t have the bounce that innerspring mattresses have. Instead, it has a more enveloping feel. The memory foam gently conforms to your body shape and distributes your weight evenly across the mattress. This helps to greatly reduce the pressure points that cause tossing and turning.

    Memory foam mattresses are still relatively new in comparison to their innerspring counterparts, but various iterations have been around for a few decades.

    Memory Foam Advantages:

    • Excellent pressure point relief and weight distribution
    • Less “bounce” than a traditional innerspring mattress
    • Creates the ideal sleep posture, so you’re less likely to wake up with sore muscles

    Memory Foam Disadvantages:

    • Memory foam retains heat, causing some mattresses to feel hotter at night
    • Low-quality memory foam mattresses have a “sinking” feeling, rather than cradling. Always stick to high-quality brands

Still Not Sure Which Mattress Is For You?

The best way to know which mattress is right for you is to lie down on it. We invite you to stop by any Ben’s mattress store to see both styles for yourself. And if you have any questions, our associates will be happy to help.

When to Purchase a New Mattress

There’s a general rule of thumb in the mattress industry: if you think it’s time to replace your mattress, then it probably is.

How Do You Know When Its Time To Purchase a New Mattress?

Chances are you should have replaced it long ago if you’re already waking up with cricks in your back, tossing constantly at night, or if your mattress simply doesn’t feel as comfortable as it once was.

Most people continue to use their mattresses long past the initial signs of aging. Unlike other furniture in your home, the mattress is often an afterthought, even though you use it constantly. Nobody really sees it – it’s covered in bedding. And it’s not something that can easily “break.” So why replace it?

Your Mattress Problems Solved

Your aging mattress is almost certainly hurting your sleep. Tossing and waking up at night are surefire signs that your mattress is at the end of its life.

  • The innerspring may be losing its resilience.
  • The cushioning may be flattened.
  • The edge support may have lost its strength.

All of these result in the buildup of pressure in your muscles (back, neck, hips and other areas), which is what causes you to toss and turn. And if you’re tossing at night, then you’re not getting the deep, rejuvenating sleep that your body needs.

Other Ways to Know, For Sure, It’s Time for A New Mattress:

  1. Mattress expiration date

    Mattresses typically do not “expire” by a certain date (although some crib mattresses do, for safety). However, most manufacturers recommend replacing your mattress about every 8 to 10 years.

    Even the highest-quality mattresses will naturally begin to age over time. It’s important to replace your mattress after several years of use to ensure your body is getting the proper support and comfort it needs for a great night’s sleep.

  2. Your kids are growing

    Your child’s feet should not be hanging off the end of the bed. If you have a growing toddler, it’s time to upgrade from a toddler bed to a twin or full-size bed. Similarly, pre-teens and teens will naturally need more space for their fast-growing bodies – consider upsizing from a twin to a full or queen bed. Let Ben’s help determine your mattress size!

  3. New bedrooms

    Moving to a new home is the perfect time to consider purchasing a new mattress. This is especially true if your new bedroom will be different in size.

    If the bedroom will be bigger, maybe it’s time to indulge in a King or California King, so you have more room to stretch out. If your room will be small, it may be a good idea to downsize. Nothing makes a bedroom feel more cramped than a bed that’s too big for the space.

  4. Bed sharing

    Moving in with someone? Make sure the bed is big enough! Nobody likes being smacked by an elbow or kicked in the shins during the middle of the night. If you’ll soon be sharing a bed with a significant other, purchase a mattress that will give you both room to stretch and sleep comfortably.

Is Your Sleep Affecting Your Workplace Productivity?

Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to your productivity during the day. But for many people, simply going to bed earlier might not be enough to see positive changes on the job. To truly improve your sleep, you need a higher-quality mattress.

New Mattress New Me

Scientific research by Harvard Medical School found that the quality of your sleep is perhaps just as important as the length of time you spend in bed. Poor-quality sleep – caused by tossing and turning (or even disruptions from a tossing partner) – can have several detrimental effects on our ability to perform during the day, including:

  • Decreased productivity

    Without deep, restful sleep, you are more likely to be less productive at your job. A lack of focus and energy prevents you from getting more done in less time. This ultimately hurts your job performance and looks bad to your employer.

  • Increase in errors

    If you’re tossing throughout the night, you’re more likely to make mistakes on the job. These too could have a negative impact on your job security, especially if it’s an ongoing problem.

  • Accidents that cost both lives and resources

    Even if you don’t work in a hazardous work environment, a lack of quality sleep could make you cause accidents that eat up company resources and put lives at risk. Consider your work commute, for example. Being drowsy behind the wheel, or walking to a bus stop, can be more dangerous than you may think, when you’re low on sleep.

And let’s face it – a lack of good sleep certainly doesn’t help our attitudes, either. When you’re tired, you’re more likely to create unnecessary conflicts with the people around you.

How Your Mattress Can Help

A good-quality mattress is the foundation to a great night’s sleep. If you are tossing at night or constantly waking up for no apparent reason, these could be signs it’s time to replace your mattress.

How can a mattress improve the quality of your sleep? Today’s mattresses from trusted brands like Englander are designed with several innovative features designed to prevent you from tossing and waking at night:

  • Pressure-point-relieving comfort layers

    Soft, supportive foams, such as memory foam, conform to your body, relieving the pressure points that cause tossing and turning. When lying in bed, you feel the need to turn over when pressure builds up in your hips, back, neck or other areas. These comfort layers are incredibly effective at relieving that pressure, so you fall asleep faster—and stay asleep.

  • Motion-reducing Innersprings

    Newer innersprings are designed to reduce motion in the mattress. So even if your partner is turning or coming to bed after you’re already sleep, you’re less likely to feel it. End result: your deep, restful sleep is not disrupted.

  • Heat Reduction

    Older-style mattresses are notorious for “sleeping hot.” Poor-quality materials inside the mattress cause a buildup of heat, which causes discomfort and leads to your kicking the covers off. New mattresses are designed with heat-reducing technology to ensure your body stays cool and comfortable through the night.

Designing Your Bedroom for Maximum Comfort

Your bedroom is a place of refuge, where you retreat at the end of every day. It’s a place for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation—so naturally, you want it to feel as comfortable as possible.

But there’s a big difference between a cozy bedroom and a cramped one. Before you begin thinking about designing your master suite with furniture, mattresses, rugs and curtains, you need to consider the centerpiece of the room: your bed.

Choosing the Right Size Mattress Size

  1. If your mattress is too big, it will make the bedroom feel crowded and small. You’ll have less room for other crucial furniture, like dressers, and less space for getting around the room comfortably.
  2. If the mattress is too small, it will make the bed itself look tiny and thus less cozy. Not to mention: a smaller mattress will leave less room for stretching out in bed, especially if sleeping with a partner.

So, what size mattress is right for your space? It all depends on the size of the room. Here’s how to measure.

Determining Mattress Size by Room Size

While you may already have your heart set on a huge king bed, you need to be sure it fits your space. This is why it’s important to measure your bedroom to determine the length of each wall.

Use a tape measure to measure both the length and width of your bedroom. If your bedroom has unique angles, be sure to measure each wall, so you can determine where your bed can be placed. You’re going to want a minimum of 22 inches of walking space around the bed, in addition to space for other furniture.

With that mind, here are some recommended room clearances for each mattress size:

  • Twin: 99″ x 105″ min clearance
  • Full: 114″ x 105″ min clearance
  • Queen: 120′ x 110′ min clearance
  • King: 136″ x 110′ x  min clearance
  • California King: 132″ x 114″ min clearance

How big is each mattress? See our sizing guide

Be sure to also consider the location of the bedroom door. You don’t want it to swing into the bed.

Now that you’ve picked the perfect mattress size, it’s time to design the rest of the room for maximum comfort.

Here are some key design tips:

  • Measure before you add more furniture. Dressers, chests and nightstands can quickly eat up a lot of wall space. After accounting for your bed, measure your remaining space to help you determine which other furniture will fit. You can then use those measurements to find the perfect-size pieces for your space.
  • Soften the space with rugs and window treatments. Add color and sound-absorbing softness to your bedroom by placing an area rug beneath the bed, as well as curtains on the windows.
  • Boost comfort with accent chairs and chests. If you have extra room to play with, you can enhance the comfort value even further with an accent chair, a low-sitting slipper chair or a chest at the end of the bed (great for storing extra blankets and pillows).

How To Purchase Through Mattress Financing Options

Your mattress plays a crucial role in the quality of your sleep every night, in addition to contributing to your overall health. So it pays to invest in a well-made, high-quality mattress that will continue to deliver cloud-like comfort for years to come. But that doesn’t mean you need to break the bank, either.
