mattress toppers with Graphene/memory foam

Julie asked
5th April 2017

Hi, we are buying a pocket sprung mattress because we have had a lot of problems with overheating in our current memory foam mattress. The most comfortable mattress we found is one that has a topper on it of graphene and memory foam in some combination. The sales clerk assured us that the graphene allowed air flow in the topper and that heat retention would not be a problem. Are memory foam/graphene mattresses generally cool?
Many thanks

Hi Julie

Thanks for your question.

As we don’t deal in memory foam mattresses, i can’t really comment on whether graphene and memory foam mattresses are any cooler.

You do mention that this is a topper, did you mean a topper that is attached to the mattress, because if so, that style of mattress we always advise not to buy. These are called pillow top mattresses and instantly make the mattress one sided.

You would be much better looking at a fully turnable mattress, and add a separate topper, this will give you much more flexibility and life from your products. There are a couple of obvious exceptions as in the case of mattresses with memory foam orlatex as the comfort layer. With latex being extremely durable and expensive it will rarely be on a double-sided mattress (unless it is one complete core). Having a double-sided latex mattress (utilised on a springs/” title=”pocket spring”>pocket spring unit)  is relatively pointless as latex is among the most durable product available and it will be better to replace (in time) rather than extend.  These are both valid exceptions for one-sided mattresses.

Please take a look at our Origins Pocket Latex 1500. We have added this model to our site to show you that if you are looking at memory foam pocket sprung mattresses we can offer a far superior latex model for a comparable – if not lower price. This is also the model whereby you can break away from polyester as a primary comfort layer.
