If you are not sleeping as well as you feel you should, or could, then yes. If injuries or joint problems or arthritis are disrupting your sleep then, yes. If you just want a luxurious bed then, yes.
Ok, so if everyone can benefit from one of these beds, why not everyone has one is the question often asked. For one a memory bed will probably cost a bit more than a standard mattress. They are expensive due to the material and the amount of development and engineering that goes into a memory foam mattress. However, prices have become much more reasonable recently and these mattresses can be found to suit almost any budget.
These beds work by reacting to body heat and moulding themselves to the sleeper's shape. Areas that press more against a mattress and often result in stiffness or broken sleep are more deeply cradled by this heat sensitive mattress. Instead of you lying atop the mattress, the memory foam bed makes an impression of your body and the deepest parts of the impression are those that put the most pressure on the bed like knees, shoulders and hips.
To purchase the best of many memory foam beds you should know how these mattresses are rated in terms of density. Density refers to the material and how much material is packed into one square foot, which is then weighed. A standard rating would be a 3lb density, which is minimal with 4lbs being better. That means a block of memory foam 1'x1'x1' rated 3 lbs would weigh 3lbs. More is better in this case and 4 - 5 lbs is plushy and comfortable.
Memory foam thickness is the term that refers to how thick the memory layer is on the mattress. All mattresses need a base for support and a memory mattress need a base for support and airflow. In general, a 3" overlay on the mattress base is standard and acceptable for most people. The mattress may be 8 inches deep but the memory portion will be 3" of that and this provides enough support without losing the support necessary for these beds.
