Sleeping on a memory foam mattress is not always a bed of roses (pardon the pun). It is supposed to help get rid of back pains but many people feel like it magnified their back pain even more.
The truth is, despite the hype that surrounds this mattress in providing back pain-free sleep, it is not for everyone. Some people just could not get used to a firm mattress and this is headed for a catastrophic sleep. If you are considering buying a memory foam mattress, do entertain those second thoughts.

The right physique
It matters how your body is shaped in the memory foam industry. This is a mattress that is better for those with lankier and skinnier body. They have more bones sticking out which means they need more support.
A fuller body or those with fewer angles in their body needs a semi-firm mattress. In this case, look for those with a density lower than 5 pounds. 5 pounds of density is just too firm and you will surely have a hard time adjusting. Also, the lower part of the body needs a cushioning layer and a too firm mattress just will not provide that. It can even make lower back pains a lot more prominent.
Semi-firm
Rather than join the hype when it comes to this mattress, consider what you really need. More and more experts are coming forward to say that people require more support to their upper body and more comfort to their lower body. This provides a good balance. In this way, comfortable sleep is more achievable.
Slowly but surely, latex foams are unseating memory foams in the niche that they are in. This is because other than being health-friendly and nature-friendly, it is a semi-firm mattress. The pincore holes integrated are carefully mapped up to target the key areas that need comfort and support.
The remedy
If you just spent a few thousands on your current memory foam bed, it will surely break your heart to discard it. You can do something to make it more comfortable. Just purchase a good mattress topper with the right density. This time, get the one that will really provide you with the comfort you really need.
They are cheaper and they can hide the discomfort provided by your primary bed. This way, you can still use your primary bed. Get a latex or memory foam topper if you are bent on getting either one but make sure it has the right density.
