Airbed vs. Memory Foam Mattress | Uratex Blog

Consumers are faced with different selections when it comes to purchasing a mattress. Different factors are considered when buying such mattresses – price, durability, and comfort – just to name a few. Conventional mattresses involve problems regarding pressure points exerted on the back. Its “closed cells” feature causes such a dilemma. However, with today’s technological advancements, it is now possible to alleviate problems like these. It is through the invention of air mattresses and memory foam mattresses that this dilemma is addressed. Knowing its common denominator though, what then is the difference between the two?

Air mattresses are made out of PVC vinyl plastics, rubbers, or textile-reinforced urethane plastic. This air-filled type of mattress is known for its convenient and adjustable features. That it can be easily be brought to out-of-town trips makes it especially favorable to frequent travelers. Air mattresses’ materials are free from toxic compounds that can cause allergies to a person. Airbeds are also popular because of its feature that allows its firmness to be adjusted, which in effect lessens pressure on the body. This, however, doesn’t stay long enough, for it sometimes require “air refills” depending on the body weight of the person sleeping on it.
