Memory Foam Manufacturers

There has been a virtual explosion in the number of memory foam manufacturers in the marketplace today. One of the troubling aspects of this explosion is that a lot of these mattresses are coming from China and other overseas companies. This could be a problem based on several things. One, is that the quality of memory foam is dependent on several factors such as thickness, density, proprietary formulas, and the manufacturer of memory foam themselves. Also you need to consider the very high density values and also the indentation force deflection.

Memory Foam Mattress Manufacturers

Many manufacturers of memory foam are keenly aware of what customers are looking for. And what customers are looking for are mattresses or other memory foam products that are very high in density. The problem develops when manufacturers that are unscrupulous add dangerous or unneeded ingredients to their formulas that increase the weight and the density of the mattress (this can cause the mattress to be much too stiff and completely eliminate the body conforming quality of the mattress).

Also foam manufacturers from China or other overseas countries create a foam that has an odd or foul odor. While this is natural in most foams, some of the overseas created foams tend to smell worse and if you're sensitive to smells it can be almost unbearable.

Overseas memory foam manufacturers sometimes will also use toxic or dangerous substances such as formaldehyde or PBDE in the makeup of their memory foam. This is why it is essential that you make sure that any foam product that you're about to purchase was manufactured in United States or Canada (with the exception of several Swedish companies).

This does not all mean that there are no high quality products that are memory foam based coming from overseas. It just means that there's really no way to verify how high of quality or how toxic a product is when there's really no way to regulate it. The best thing for you to do when looking to purchase any type of memory foam product, is to contact the manufacturer or retailer and ask them specific questions about where the product was manufactured. If they seem hesitant or do not know than simply move on and find another retailer or manufacturer. You don't wanna end up spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a mattress made by memory foam manufacturers that is low quality, smelly, and potentially toxic.
