Density is a measurement of the mass per unit volume. It is one of the most important of all properties. Density affects foam durability and support. Typically, the higher the density, the better the foam will retain its original properties and provide the support and comfort it was originally designed to produce.
There is a difference. The denser the foam product, the more supportive it is and the more it will conform to your body.
High density Foam is designed specifically for the size and shape of all Foam Factory products. Vitafoam mattresses molds and support the body better than any other product in the market.
A high density mattress e.g. Vita Galaxy, Vita Twill etc. is a solution for persons of different weights.

Body impressions are a byproduct of the extra comfort layers built into today’s best mattresses. In the first few weeks you sleep on a new mattress with extra comfort layers, you will likely notice somebody impressions on the surface. These impressions are normal.
They indicate that the comfort layers are conforming to your body, as they are supposed to do, and shouldn’t be considered a sign that something is wrong with your new mattress. Unless your mattress care instructions indicate otherwise, you may want to periodically rotate your mattress from end to end and from top-to-bottom.
Sleeping on hard surface helps to reshape the back and realign the body. A firm sleep surface helps the body’s relationship with gravity. It is a therapeutic practice
Yes you can, but the main obstacle you will face is the size of the drum on your washing machine. If you squeeze a Super King Duvet into your machine, when the water enters the drum, due to the lack of space the load can become uneven and ruin the motor. If you have a larger machine then it is of course possible and causes no damage to the down inside.
The most important part of washing your duvet is the drying process. In order to prevent the clusters lumping together it is important to shake the duvet every 5 minutes during the drying process. 5 minutes in the drier, take the duvet out and shake it and then back into the drier. Repeat this process until the duvet is completely dry.
First thing to remember is not to worry. Due to the chemical composition of all foam based products, the process invariable means that some odour may be present, especially if the foam block has been freshly cut. The odor will soon disappear, sometimes within a day or two after the mattress has been left to air.
This includes the number of springs used, the gauge of wire and the arrangement of springs within the mattress. The thickness of the layer of padding that covers the spring system also has a great impact on the comfort the mattress may provide.
When buying a foam mattress, the following factors are to be considered;
Cradling effect-ability of the mattress to distribute body weight uniformly over the sleeping area.
Cushioning quality- this relates to the load bearing ability of the foam.
Durability/ Fatigue Consideration- these properties includes density, tensile strength, elongation, compression set and firmness.
Bed frame is a piece of furniture, which is used to position and hold a mattress.
For convenience sake it has to. When you are buying a bed frame, it’s important it fits the mattress as well.
Many times it happens, that either the frame is way larger, than the mattress or it is too small than the mattress. In either case, it becomes very inconvenient to sleep on.
When people say they want a FIRM mattress, what they are often looking for is a supportive mattress.
However, firmness designations actually refer to the surface feel of a mattress. If you are looking for a bed that feels hard, then a firm mattress is what you want.

There are two main types of orthopedic mattresses that you are more likely to come across including The Vita Galaxy Orthopedic mattress and the Vita Spring Firm Orthopedic mattress.
The Vitafoam Galaxy orthopedic mattress is designed to gently conform to the shape of your body.
Vita Spring Firm is made up of a core of coil springs and an outer layer of padding and damask coating. The type and number of coils will affect how supportive it feels.
a. Rotate your mattress every 3 months – this is to ensure that a person sleeps on different parts of the mattress to even out the pressure.
b. You should flip-over and sleep on the other side once a while to extend the lifespan of the mattress
c. Let your mattress breathe. Ventilate your room every day.
Bed bug extermination can be difficult, especially when the problem is allowed to persist. During the beginning stages of an infestation, bed bugs tend to congregate in beds and sleeping areas. If the infestation grows and spreads beyond your bed, eradicating them can be more difficult. If you get bed bugs, it’s prudent to hire a professional exterminator. Professional exterminators know what to look for and have the necessary tools for managing the problem. Bedding and garments will need to be bagged and laundered at a minimum of 120 °F.
There is no “one-size-fits-all” in mattresses.
A teen, for example, may be able to use a family size bed or may be more comfortable with a queen. If you sleep with a partner, you will certainly require a different size mattress than a child. The queen size mattresses are the most popular at the moment; but, if you have room for a king size, you will be more comfortable with that.
That depends on what’s most important to you. Do you need to test the product first, or can you determine what you want by looking at a picture of the product?

In order to find the perfect bed for your needs, there are several questions you will need to consider. First, what size bed do you need? If the bed is for a child or a dormitory room, a 6×3 size might be fine. If the bed is normally used by two people, the smallest size to consider is a 6×4 size [family size]. Queen size and king size beds provide considerably more room and comfort for the sleepers; however, you must also consider the size of the room. The next consideration is how you want the bed to feel as far as comfort is concerned.
All of the beds that we make at Vitafoam Plc will give you great support. What will vary is the amount of cushioning or surface comfort. Do you want the bed to be firm, with very little cushioning, or do you want it to be very plush, like sleeping on several comforters? Once you can answer these questions and have some idea of how much you want to invest in your mattress, you are ready to Call, Click, or Visit Vitafoam Nigeria Plc dealer outlets closest to you to find the perfect bed for you!
Traditionally, mattresses should be replaced every 7 to 10 years. The life of a mattress can be impacted by many factors, including the height and weight of the sleeper(s) and whether or not it is supported by a proper frame and foundation, and even the climate that you live in. If the mattress is abused by standing or jumping on it, or if a double-sided mattress is not turned as recommended by the manufacturer, you may need to replace the mattress sooner.
Ultimately, if you wake up feeling stiff and sore and you can’t identify any other causes; you might want to think about replacing your mattress. Your lifestyle and your body may undergo rapid changes, and that may mean that your mattress should change, too. As a rule, if your mattress sags or is worn and lumpy, you should think about replacing it. And you can ask yourself this question: Would a new mattress help me sleep better?
Lifestyle factors – age, physical activity, smoking, and illness – are all important. However, your mattress is the most important factor in determining the quality of your sleep. Your mattress should support you and be comfortable enough to allow you to sleep in one position all night, without the tossing and turning that is caused by pressure points. Restless sleep or waking up with aches in your arms, legs and back is a sure sign that your mattress is not helping you get the rest you need.
As a rule, a king or a queen-size mattress provides the most room and the best comfort. You might want to consider a mattress that minimizes sleep disturbances when either of you move during the night. Our mattresses are constructed to minimize the impact of partners moving. You should both evaluate a potential mattress purchase. A spacious mattress will help you sleep better and you’ll both be more rested in the morning.
For babies, a crib with a firm, tight-fitting mattress is crucial to the infant’s health and safety. Always be sure the crib has adequate support for the mattress, so that the bedding can’t be easily dislodged. This is a very important consideration, since babies spend almost three-quarters of their time asleep and toddlers spend half their time sleeping. As your children grow older, they will be ready to graduate to a twin bed. The rules of comfort and support apply here. Children need 8-10 hours of sleep per night. A mattress that allows them to sleep comfortably without tossing and turning will give them the restful sleep they need to grow up healthy.
The average person needs 7-8 hours a night, but it differs for every person. Some people may need as much as 10 hours a night and others need much less. If you sleep longer on the weekends than during the week, you probably aren’t getting the sleep you need every night.
Kids need at least nine hours of sleep each night to be star students. To help make sure your kids get the sleep they need, make sure your child’s bedroom is conducive to a good night’s sleep – your child’s room should be cool, quiet and dark and he or she should be sleeping on a comfortable, supportive mattress.
A few key things should help.
Try going to bed and getting up at the same time every day – even on the weekends. This will help keep your biological clock in sync. Develop a sleep ritual by doing the same things each night just before bed. Parents often establish a routine for their kids, but it can help adults, too. A routine cues the body to settle down for the night. Another hint: Unwind early in the evening so that worries and distractions don’t keep you from getting a good night’s sleep.
Finally, create a restful sleep environment – sleep in a cool, quiet, dark room on a comfortable, supportive mattress and foundation – to get your best night’s rest. If you’re sleeping as much as you need, but still find that you’re sleepy during the day, you should consult your doctor to see if you might have a medical condition interfering with your sleep.
Anyone who sleeps during the day needs to make sure their room is dark – use heavy window coverings to block out the light. This is important for everyone, but particularly for people who sleep when it’s bright outside. Also, make sure your room is cool, between 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 18 degrees Celsius).
Sleep on a comfortable, supportive mattress and foundation that offers you enough space to move around comfortably. And sleep in a room that’s quiet. The sleep environment is a very controllable part of good sleep – whether you’re sleeping during the day or at night. You can adjust the temperature, replace an uncomfortable or worn-out mattress, block out noise with earplugs and keep light from your bedroom with dark blinds or eye shades.
If you regularly fall asleep on your sofa, you may not be getting as much sleep as you need at night in your bed. Or maybe your sofa is more comfortable than your bed! In either case, you should make sure to practice good sleep habits – from sleeping on a comfortable, supportive mattress to not drinking alcohol too close to bedtime. And try to get more sleep – it may change how you feel during the day.
If you’ve tried the common sense tips and you know you’re sleeping in a restful bedroom environment including a comfortable and supportive mattress, you should see your doctor. You may have a medical condition that interferes with getting a good night’s sleep.
Sleep needs to be a health priority. It affects every aspect of your day-to-day living. If you can’t say “yes” to sleep, make sure to make the most out of the sleep you get. Exercise regularly – people who exercise a few times a week sleep better than people who don’t. Also, avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco products late in the day.
All can interfere with sleep. You need to create a restful sleep environment so the sleep you get is restorative and uninterrupted. Sleep in a dark room, on a comfortable, supportive mattress. Keep the room cool and quiet. And if you find yourself too stressed to sleep, make a list of all the things you need to do. Once you’ve made your to-do list, give yourself permission to relax and sleep. You’ll need the energy to tackle your tasks in the morning.
No. If you sleep more on the weekends than during the week – and many of us do – this indicates that you have a “sleep debt.” A sleep debt accumulates when you don’t get enough sleep. The only way to reduce the debt is to sleep as much as your body needs every night. Make sure you’re getting the right quality of sleep as well. Sleep in a cool, dark, quiet room on a comfortable, supportive mattress to get your best night’s sleep.
If you’ve looked at your sleep environment and your everyday routine to make sure you’re not sabotaging your sleep and you still feel sleepy after getting a full night’s sleep, you should see your doctor. You may have a medical condition that interferes with getting a good night’s sleep.
The answer is a matter of individual taste. What’s best for me may not be best for you. When it comes to mattresses, there is no one-size-fits-all. After all, we’re all built differently and have different comfort and support preferences, so why would the same mattress be “best” for all of us? To determine the mattress that’s best for you, we recommend using the process of elimination to weed out the ones you don’t like. Go to a retailer and use the “rest test” to narrow down your choices.
As you lie down on the mattresses, pay attention to three of the mattress’s most important features: comfort, support and space. The mattress that best fulfills the combination of these needs is the “best” mattress for you. If you sleep with a partner, bring that person with you to test out the mattresses. After all, you will need to reconcile what you like best with what your partner likes best.
You need to understand your needs before you start shopping. We recommend that you think about your lifestyle. How has it changed since you last bought a mattress and how might these changes affect your purchase? And what about your body? Has it changed and how has this affected your needs for support or your comfort preferences? Finally, think about space needs and if you have a partner, take your partner with you to shop for a new mattress.
It’s important to find something to meet both your support needs and comfort preferences. Armed with this information, go to a mattress retailer you trust, someone who will answer your questions with information. Then, take a “rest test” to compare the feel of different mattresses by lying down on them. You will quickly find some mattresses you like and others that do not meet your personal comfort preferences and support needs. Through this process of elimination, you can determine which mattresses you like best.
If you regularly wake up feeling stiff and sore or if you aren’t sleeping as well as you did a year ago, it may be time to replace what you’re sleeping on. At least twice a year, check for visible signs of wear and tear and ask yourself if you’re sleeping better or worse than you did a year ago and if a new mattress might improve your sleep. This regular sleep check-up will help ensure your mattress is still doing its job or whether a replacement is required.
The best way to try a mattress is to take the “SLEEP Test”:
Select a mattress
Lie down in your sleep position
Evaluate the level of comfort and support
Educate yourself about each selection
Partners should try each mattress together
Don’t be embarrassed. You don’t think twice about test driving a car, and you shouldn’t think twice about “SLEEP Testing” a mattress. Lie down on the mattress for several minutes and assess how well it provides support and how comfortable it is for you. The only way to tell if a mattress is right for you is to lie down on it.
Your rest – the amount and quality of your sleep – is a critical factor in your overall well-being. It can affect how you feel physically and mentally as well as your productivity. Accordingly, we urge you to invest in your rest, and spend enough on a mattress to ensure that your individual comfort and support needs are being met. Be sure not to shortchange yourself out of a good, quality night’s sleep and buy the best mattress you can afford. The average person spends one-third of his or her life in bed. This equals 220,000 hours over the course of a lifetime! And the mattress is the most used piece of furniture in the home.
The following precautions can help prevent bed bugs from entering your home:
Do not bring curbside items (especially beds and sofas) indoors as these may be harboring bed bugs.
If you are traveling, make it a habit to inspect your bed for bed bugs before unpacking. Remove sheets, blankets, etc. and examine the seams of the mattress and upper edge of the box spring for any signs of bed bugs or their droppings which appear as darkish spotting or staining. The seams and corners at the head of the bed (the pillow end) are especially critical. Although bed bugs often reside behind hotel head boards, these can be heavy and difficult to remove except by trained individuals.
Avoid storing your luggage on the floor or bed. Bed bugs are less likely to infest suitcases and other belongings if placed on a table top, luggage stand or other hard surface.
When returning home from travel, put all your laundry immediately into the washer or dryer on warm or hot cycle. Either method is effective at killing bed bugs and their eggs. It may also be prudent to store your suitcase in the garage, basement, etc., rather than in living areas of your home. These precautions are especially important, upon returning home, should you experience bites or suspicious itchy welts during you travels.
Some travel sites are now offering advisories on which hotels have reportedly had incidents involving bed bugs. While many of such reports are unconfirmed, they can provide guidance to concerned travelers.
