Englander Memory Foam Mattress

The Englander memory foam mattress line consists of two beds - the Viscopedic and Synergy Fusion.

Introduction To Memory Foam

Memory foam is visco-elastic polyurethane foam. NASA developed the foam many years ago, but never used it in their space program. Memory foam was first used in therapeutic mattresses because it is very good at preventing bedsores and relieving pressure points for patients who are bedridden.

Memory foam was so successful at this that commercial mattresses began experimenting with it for the broader market. The results were dramatic. Many people who bought memory foam mattresses said that their sleep improved dramatically and that they had far less pain in the morning. People with lower back problems particularly liked these mattresses.

Commercial memory foam mattresses contain a core of polyurethane foam topped with visco foam. The price of the mattress correlates somewhat with the thickness of the memory foam layer. Of course, mattresses with different thicknesses of memory foam layers will feel different too.

Some people have found that memory foam can be too warm for their taste. This can be remedied by putting a wool mattress pad on top of the memory foam mattress. This allows better air circulation around the body during sleep.

Memory foam mattresses can be expensive, but for people who find relief from backaches, arthritis, or other chronic pain conditions, or for people who sleep with partners who toss and turn, a memory foam mattress can be a good investment. These mattresses conform to the shape of the body and create no pressure points.

Unfortunately, trying out a memory foam mattress for a couple of minutes in a mattress store will not give a good enough idea of how sleep will be affected. Some of the moderate to higher end hotels use memory foam mattresses in some locations, so it could be worth calling around and booking a room before spending the $1,000 plus that a memory foam mattress usually costs.

Englander Memory Foam Mattress - Viscopedic

Englander's Viscopedic line of mattresses make use of the NASA technology to ensure a more restful night's sleep. Every Viscopedic Englander memory foam mattress responds to the individual's body temperature and body weight to conform to their shape and size. The visco memory foam does not create pressure points that are common with other types of mattresses.

This line of mattresses delivers pressure-free sleep that people may find far more restful than sleep on a traditional mattress. Englander has a patented Variable Pressure Foaming technology that provides durability, consistency, and resilience in a foam mattress.

It is free of PBDEs (polybrominated diphenylethers, a class of chemicals used as flame retardants, plastics, and wire insulation, that are being phased out in the United States due to potential environmental hazards) and are hypo-allergenic.

An Englander memory foam mattress promotes spinal alignment during sleep. It has a finer cell structure than other foams, making it more responsive to body weight and temperature, and resulting in a luxurious feel. It returns to its original shape after every use for many years of sleeping comfort and individualized support.

Because individual movements are contained, there is no motion transfer with the Viscopedic mattress. Those who sleep with partners who get up during the night or who toss and turn should find that their sleep is more restful and may feel their partner's movements less than with a traditional innerspring mattress.

Those who worry about an Englander memory foam mattress being hot and sticky can be reassured that the Viscopedic open cell structure lets the mattress "breathe" and disperse body heat. The company also makes specially designed cotton mattress covers that are breathable and help control heat by drawing moisture away from the body.

Englander Memory Foam Mattress - Synergy Fusion

Englander's line of Synergy Fusion mattress sets combine memory foam and natural rubber latex to produce a comfortable and luxurious sleep system. The use of these two sleep surfaces results in relief from pressure points, additional comfort, and a better night's sleep. The combination of memory foam and latex should maintain its shape for years of regular use.

Compared to an innerspring mattress there is far less motion transfer between sleeping partners. The Synergy Latex is environmentally friendly and hypo-allergenic. This line of Englander memory foam mattress sets resist mold, mildew, and dust mites.

Synergy Fusion mattresses have a 7-zone "posturized" design that gives support where sleepers need it most without reducing comfort. The design also allows increased air flow over the mattress surface to keep sleepers cool and comfortable.

The way the Synergy Fusion mattress conforms to each individual's body contours promotes natural spinal alignment. It also relieves pressure points that are common with other types of mattresses.

The unique "pinhole" design of the Synergy Fusion mattress allows better breathability of the mattress surface, keeping it cooler during warm weather and warmer when it's cool.

The latex that goes into making this line of mattresses starts at the rubber plantation, where the sap is tapped while causing no harm to the tree, which lives for its complete lifespan. Once the natural rubber tree extracts are processed and shaped, they are developed into 100% natural rubber latex.
