Pulled the trigger today and purchased the Dreamfoam Ultimate Dreams 13inch Gel Memory Foam

Hi scb175,

I just wanted to update this after a week of sleeping on the 12" Ultimate Supreme from Dream Foam. Their is still a faint smell, but not bothersome enough to cause anymore issues. Glad it has gotten better!

I’m glad it’s better as well … and any faint remaining smell should continue to diminish.

I have a new issue though. This is my first memory foam mattress and I’m not sure if this is normal or not. During a 7hr sleep, I notice that when I toss and turn around, the memory foam doesn’t have the same elasticity that it did from the first time I enter the bed. Every night when I get in, the surface feels very firm, but when I lay down, I can feel the memory foam conform to my body. During the night, as I said, I lose this feeling. It is as if, the memory foam is “smooshed” and becomes flat. Is this something normal that happens? The memory foam definitely becomes much softer, and I am concerned considering this is my first week.

Memory foam is sensitive to temperature, humidity, and the length of time it is continuously compressed over the course of the night and all of these can change its firmness level and how it feels and responds during the night so what you are describing is a normal part of the feel and response of memory foam. This is one of the things that makes memory foam different from other types of fast response foams.

There are also many different types of memory foam and each one has its own unique properties and responds to all of these “influences” in different ways (see post #9 here and post #8 here).
