By George Till


While making a buy for mattresses you must be aware of the person who will be sleeping on it and if it happens to be your elderly parents then you must be very particular about the type of mattress you buy for them. The softness and comfort of the mattress must be suitable for the elderly people and when you select one for them you need to be extra careful to consider the health benefits too. One very good option would be the foam mattresses, which is very popular and have several advantages over other mattresses.

Foam mattress provide the soft and caring support needed for the elderly people as well as those having chronic illnesses who may find it very uncomfortable to sleep on mattresses having hard surfaces. These foam mattresses are marketed in a large variety of sizes and come in a wide range of prices and are very durable and affordable.

The foam mattresses that have come to become the boon of the elderly and the infirm people are nothing but an outgrowth of the space technology and were not known to us until about 1966. Foam was initially developed for making comfortable cushions for seating the high altitude aircraft pilots by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) At that time nobody thought the wide extent of use it would have in homes and the popularity it would gain. NASA did not release this advanced technology for common use till 1980 only and from 1990 the foam mattresses started to become a very popular option in the homes.

The memory foam mattresses can sometime cost a little more than the older varieties and the traditional ones but that is nothing compared to what the customer will gain in quality, control and health. A good quality foam mattress combine the smooth and soft qualities to provide comfort while giving firm support to the body while sleeping like the traditional mattresses. It is also possible to select softer or firmer mattresses depending on the taste of the individual as there are a lot of varieties available.

Another advantage of selecting foam mattresses for your elderly parents is that many medical experts suggests that these mattresses are beneficial for their health of frail people. You can also opt for various acupuncture or orthopedics mattresses that are available with various types of medicinal value and are believed to cause beneficial health effects on their users. You can consider buying these type of mattresses depending on the health conditions and extra care needed by your parents. Avoid buying mattresses just because there are some discount offers. You and your parents may regret it.
