Memory Foam Mattresses - 4 Living

Memory Foam Mattresses are synonymous with luxurious

comfort and a restful night's sleep.

Today's busy work schedules and hectic lifestyles mean it is more important than ever to get a decent night's sleep. A restful night will leave you feeling refreshed and energised and properly prepared to face the rigours of the day ahead.

Memory mattresses have been used and recommended, by health professionals and practitioners in the UK and all over the world for many years. The elastic property of the foam results in the mattress, forming itself around the exact shape and contour of your body. This means that while you sleep, your body is cosseted and supported at all times, without having to endure the intrusion or pressure of a sprung mattress.

Memory foam was originally developed for NASA back in the seventies and designed to support astronauts as they were subjected to the forces of gravity. It then found a use in the wider world as a mattress material. The material was dubbed "memory foam" due to its ability to remember its previous shape and return to it, once any weight had been lifted.

In redistributing a person's bodyweight, memory mattresses are able to offer unrivalled support to a person's back, neck, shoulders, legs and knees. Memory mattresses reduce spinal pressure and maximise blood circulation, eliminating bedsores and providing the maximum in night time comfort.

Memory foam is the most popular segment in the mattress industry far outselling the traditional pocket sprung mattress and the normal latex mattress. Pocket springs will lose 16% of their support in the first year as the metal coils start to tire and latex mattresses, though much more durable, are not known for their comfort. Essentia mattresses are the only mattresses that offer the superior comfort and support of (natural) memory foam with the purity and durability of natural latex.

With their unique patented natural memory foam (natural latex, pure essential oils, plant extracts, water), 100% natural latex 6 zoned support layer and full organic cotton woven cover, you are guaranteed a great night's sleep again and again.

Memory Foam Brands

There are many branded memory foam mattresses. Some famous names include Silent Night, Ergoflex, Memflex, and Snug. Most of these, import their foam from China. The only two manufacturers that produce their own memory foam are Tempur or Tempur Pedic and Essentia in Canada.

What is Natural Memory Foam?

Regular memory foam is made using petroleum based chemicals. It is also known as visco foam or Visco-elastic memory foam. Memory foam is a man made synthetic material which traps body heat. This heat retaining quality leads to regular memory foam mattresses becoming hot and uncomfortable and they release a strong mattress odour due to their chemical composition.

Essentia is the only brand in the world to have developed its own unique patented natural memory foam. Because its natural memory foam is made from 100% natural latex (rubber tree sap), organic essential oils, plant extracts and water it is 80% more breathable than regular memory foam and has no chemical off-gassing or unpleasant chemical odour.

The main unique benefits of Essentia's natural memory foam are:

* They offer a superior quality and luxurious comfort

* They are 100% natural, producing no toxic chemicals or chemical odours

* They do not get too hot and are 80% more breathable than regular memory foams

* The foam has a faster recovery time, assisting movement.

* They are very durable and come with a 20 year guarantee

* They provide a healthy and allergy-free sleep environment

* They are biodegradable

Other bedding companies claim to offer eco memory foam with green tea, charcoal or Soy added. This 'Green Washing' is the simple addition of a little bit of something natural, so they can promote their product as being eco-friendly. All of these so-called "eco" memory foam mattresses are still made from the same petroleum based foams, glued together with chemical industrial glues and sprayed with fire retardant chemical sprays.

Customer Testimonials

We bought the Essentia Dormeuse mattress and Classic pillows as they are made from natural memory foam and latex and we have been really pleased with them as they are so comfortable. We tested them out first at the showroom which is set in beautiful countryside near Alfriston and well worth a visit. This is a friendly and efficient company to deal with.

Kind regards,

Thank you so much for the mattresses and pillows.

Overall we are very happy with the mattresses and pillows and would highly recommend them to other people.

We are very pleased with our mattress. Other memory foam mattresses we have had are comfortable but too hot. This one feels luxurious and we sleep really well in it. Also thanks to 4 Living for putting in extra effort in getting our mattress delivered with very limited window!

Many thanks,
