Your body heat affects a memory foam surface. While initially solid, as it comes in contact with body heat the material softens. Memory foam conforms to your body and actually creates a mold giving complete support. Memory foam has the ability to spread the pressure of your body weight over the whole area of the foam reducing nagging pressure points. Memory foam cells have small holes designed so that when it is compressed; the air pressure spreads throughout the cells, hence reducing the pressure when laid upon. This is how the material conforms to your body. In this way, the memory foam can spread your weight around the body of the mattress and give in to the weight bearing areas and extra support to the non-weight bearing area of your body.

A king size mattress, like most mattresses, is expensive. The king size mattress is often much more expensive than other sizes. Buying a memory foam mattress pad topper king size for your king size bed will help to extend the life of your mattress. Alternatively, if you do not want to have to replace your old and worn king sized mattress, a memory foam mattress pad topper king can make your old mattress seem like new, which well help you sleep better on it.

You must consider a topper's density, how it responds to body heat, and its durability before you decide to purchase one. Most memory foam has a density between 2 to 6 pounds. The density is the weight of a cubic foot of material. A topper with a higher foam density will have more foam than air on the inside, which determines the higher quality, durability, longer life and price of the pad.

The average life of a low-density pad is 3 to 4 years. Low-density pads are less expensive due to more air and less material. These are softer to the touch and have a higher temperature sensitivity, which means they will react to body heat quicker and meld faster, but the life span is shorter. A high-quality topper can last you up to 5 or 6 years and is the best choice when considering a memory foam mattress topper.

Personal preference, budget and the desire for a better night's sleep will help you determine which topper is right for you. A memory foam mattress pad topper king won't fix a mattress that feels like a sack of potatoes but it will make it a little easier to sleep well. - 29957
