All that’s left to do is find out if your current bedframe is appropriate for a memory foam mattress! This is a very underemphasized step – if you have an inappropriate bedframe, your comfort and the life of your memory foam mattress can be significantly reduced.

The base foam is a critical part of your memory foam mattress. No matter how luxurious the memory foam top layer, cutting corners on the base layer will produce an unsupportive and uncomfortable bed.

Now that you know what memory foam is, the differences between memory foams, and some possible issues, it’s time to select a memory foam top layer for the bed.

While personally I find memory foam to be an amazing sleeping surface, there are some issues that
you should be aware of.

Memory foam refers only to the “viscoelastic” behaviour exhibited by the foam. Memory foams can encompass a wide range of quality, durability, comfort, and other characteristics. Here’s a few things you should look for when considering the purchase of a memory foam product.

Memory foam is actually a rather advanced material, and has only gone down in cost enough to be practical for personal use in the last ten years or so. More specifically, it is an open-cell foam with viscoelastic properties, typically using polyurethane. If this means nothing to you don’t worry, and read on!

I recently hurt my back and needed a new mattress – but couldn’t afford the high-end memory foam bed I wanted. So I built my own for a third of the price!

As the summer progressed, I felt like I needed to improve my initial design. Luckily enough the science department had just thrown away an old freeze drying machine which had a perfect radiator. A few minutes crouched by the dumpster with some hand tools, some minor adjustments, and the Black Beauty was born.

Credit goes out to Pete H. in sunny England for this great build. This version of the homemade air conditioner removes the need to drain water outside by using an aquarium pump, and sits on a rotating base.

Spencer from Ohio made this incredible build using some good old american muscle.
