10 Inch Memory Foam Mattress
10 Inch Memory Foam MattressWhy a 10-inch Memory Foam Mattress
There are several reasons one would choose a 10-inch memory foam mattress over other sizes and materials. First of all, memory foam is a very popular mattress type. Its conforming properties hug the body creating comfort while at the same time enhancing support. At ten inches thick, there is enough space within the mattress for good composition. Most memory foam mattress will be comprised of a few inches of memory foam at the top with a thicker layer beneath it for support. This lower foundational layer in a memory foam mattress is typically made up of a higher density poly foam. Though sometimes, it can be spring based or made of other materials. In those cases, the mattress is typically considered a hybrid mattress. Another reason a 10-inch model may be chosen over thicker models revolves around mobility. See, a thicker mattress roughly translates into a higher bed height. This can cause issues for anyone who suffers from mobility problems. Sometimes getting into a bed that sits high is difficult for the elderly or for someone who has sustained an injury. In these instances, a ten-inch memory foam mattress can provide a more accommodating bed height over thicker mattresses. At the same time, this size maintains the support and comfort needed for good sleep.

8-inch vs 10-inch Memory Foam Mattress
A 10-inch memory foam mattress is almost always going to surpass an 8-inch mattress in quality. They are also much more common and therefore made by more manufacturers. Ultimately going with a 10-inch over an 8-inch will give you more mattress options. It can also give some added depth which can provide a more luxurious look compared to a thinner mattress. If sitting the mattress on a floor instead of traditional bed frame or platform bed, the 10-inch memory foam mattress would look better. It would also probably be more comfortable than an 8-inch would be on the floor as the floor has no give. Because the foundation layer in the mattress can be thicker, the mattress will likely be more durable and last longer as well. The price of an 8-inch mattress is one advantage it has though. Also, an 8-inch mattress works well in tight spaces such as motor homes.
Choosing a 10 Inch Mattress
A well-designed mattress will be supportive, comfortable and hold up over time. There are several mattresses that meet these criteria and do so with a ten-inch width. Thicker width doesn’t always equate to higher quality. The makeup of each mattress should really be examined to see how the mattress is tailored to meet your sleep needs.
