Now that\u2019s something those fancy scientists won\u2019t tell you. They also won\u2019t tell you that freeze-dried ice cream doesn\u2019t even compare to regular ice cream\u2026 but that\u2019s an aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhoo, just because a mattress has memory foam in it does not mean all memory foam mattresses are equal. Nope, not at all.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have strict, minimum specifications for all of my memory foam mattresses. I require at least one layer of four-pound memory foam, equal to one cubic foot of foam, in all of my memory foam mattresses. In other words, I use a higher density memory foam that is of better quality. The high-quality memory foam has a direct impact on the longevity of the mattress. Low-density memory foam mattresses don\u2019t last as long. I put a lot of emphasis on quality memory foam mattresses that include high-density memory foam you won\u2019t find at a lot of my competitors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>&nbsp;An Inside Look at My Bob-O-Pedic Sport Hybrid<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses\/p\/20039522003?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=foammattress&amp;utm_content=sporthybridlayersphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SportHybrid-layers-1.jpg\" alt=\"My Bob-O-Pedic Sport Hybrid features Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam and an individually wrapped coil system | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-1829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SportHybrid-layers-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SportHybrid-layers-1-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/SportHybrid-layers-1-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><br>My Bob-O-Pedic Sport Hybrid features Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam and an individually wrapped coil system <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>There Are Different Types of Memory Foam<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Memory foam can exist without any enhancements, but I don\u2019t like to be just ordinary, so I created a few different types of memory foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bob-O-Pedic Gel Memory Foam<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I created Bob-O-Pedic Gel Memory Foam for temperature regulation and pressure relief.&nbsp; By adding gel to my memory foam, I was able to combat traditional concerns about memory foam feeling hot when people sleep. While all memory foam is temperature-sensitive (by nature and design) the gel helps to regulate body temperature and help keep you from overheating while sleeping. How cool is that?! (literally)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bob-O-Pedic Gel Memory Foam w\/ Charcoal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After creating Bob-O-Pedic Gel Memory Foam, I asked myself how I can make this better.&nbsp; Then it dawned on me. Add charcoal. So I did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My Bob-O-Pedic Gel Memory Foam with charcoal helps with temperature regulation, odor control and pressure relief. This Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam is specifically formulated to dissipate odors keeping your sleep environment fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bob-O-Pedic Quick Response Memory Foam<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I was having so much fun creating Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam, I didn\u2019t stop with the charcoal version. My newest formula of Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam includes a quicker response time. This innovative memory foam provides a different feel compared to typical memory foams that are slow to come back. Although it still conforms just as well as our traditional Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam, it has a more resilient feel, similar to latex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keeping it Cool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I have heard concerns from a number of people that they don\u2019t like memory foam mattresses because they are warm to sleep on. I get it. I don\u2019t like to be warm when I sleep so that\u2019s why I add Gel Memory Foam to my memory foam mattresses. The Gel Memory Foam helps with temperature regulation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the Gel Memory Foam, my mattresses also have covers that help cool you down while you sleep. You can literally feel the temperature difference when you place your hand on my cool-to-the-touch covers. This is all made possible by Phase Change Material\u2013I like to call it PCM for short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Phase Change Material (PCM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature is found in all of my mattresses and pillows that have a cooling cover. These innovative threads are woven into the cover and are designed to absorb excess body heat, then release it back to the body when needed. While the cover feels cool-to-the-touch, the best way to describe this technology is that it\u2019s not too hot and not too cold: it\u2019s just perfect!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Look for the CertiPUR-US\u00ae Certification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another concern I hear from customers is the safety of memory foam mattresses. Well, rest assured, because all of my mattresses are CertiPUR-US\u00ae certified. This is not a legal requirement, but something I believe is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CertiPUR-US\u00ae foam has been tested and certified by independent laboratories. It has been put through a series of tests to ensure content, indoor emissions, and durability meet the strict standards of the CertiPUR-US\u00ae program. CertiPUR-US\u00ae certified foams have low emission (VOCs) for indoor quality; are made without prohibited phthalates, ozone depleters (no CFCs), mercury, lead or heavy metals, formaldehyde, and PBDE flame retardants; and have been tested for durability and performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Perfect for Adjustable Beds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses\/adjustable-beds\/p\/20054964?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=foammattress&amp;utm_content=essentialgemphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdjustableBed.jpg\" alt=\"My Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam mattresses are a perfect fit for adjustable bed frames | Bob's Discount Furniture\" class=\"wp-image-1719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdjustableBed.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdjustableBed-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/AdjustableBed-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam mattresses are a perfect fit for adjustable bed frames<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Memory foam mattresses are ideal for adjustable beds because not only do they conform to your body but they also conform to adjustable bases. Any mattress that is on an adjustable base must be able to move with the bed. The flexibility of the memory foam allows the mattress to move with the bed instead of against it<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Hybrid Option<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My Bob-O-Pedic Hybrid mattresses are a real game-changer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By definition, hybrid mattresses contain an innerspring plus a specialty foam. The best thing about my Bob-O-Pedic Hybrid mattresses is the fact that you get the feel of a memory foam mattress plus the support of an innerspring mattress. My memory foam hybrid mattresses feature thick layers of memory foam on top so you still get the memory foam feel, plus an innerspring that creates a little more bounce and resilience than regular foam mattresses. It\u2019s really the best of both worlds combination!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Check out some of my best-selling hybrid mattresses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bob-O-Pedic Hybrid Mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mybobs.com\/mattresses\/p\/20038999003?utm_medium=content&amp;utm_source=BobsBlog&amp;utm_campaign=foammattress&amp;utm_content=bophybridphoto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BOP-Hybrid.jpg\" alt=\"My Bob-O-Pedic Hybrid Mattress features gel-infused Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam and independent coil spring technology | Bob's Discount Furniture \" class=\"wp-image-1720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BOP-Hybrid.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BOP-Hybrid-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mybobs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BOP-Hybrid-768x538.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>My Bob-O-Pedic Hybrid Mattress features gel-infused Bob-O-Pedic Memory Foam and independent coil spring technology<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"54\" src=\"https:\/\/mybobs.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Review_Stars.png\" alt=\"5 star review\" class=\"wp-image-1285\"\/><figcaption>Michael E &#8211; Verified Buyer<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Best sleep I\u2019ve had in yrs. recently switch to this new mattress now I sleep like a baby.
