In this article we put forth our top choices for affordable memory foam mattresses.  A number of more expensive alternatives exist such as those by Tempur-Pedic, Simmons (the NxG), Sealy (the Embody series), etc. but the mattresses chosen here are much less costly and still get great ratings from consumers.  [REF Memory Foam Mattress Reviews]

Luxury Grand KING 14” Memory Foam Mattress
The Luxury Grand King is manufactured by Dynasty Mattress.  These guys make a lot of memory foam mattresses a number of which are very popular on Amazon.  Most of their mattresses get very good consumer ratings and at the time of this writing the Luxury Grand King 14 inch has received 32 reviews and an average score of 4.7 out of 5 (you can check out the reviews here).  Owners report that the mattress is firm yet comfortable and dual airflow channels ensure that it does not sleep hot.  It has 8 inches of polyurethane foam and a full 6 inches of memory foam.  The memory foam is made up of 4 different layers and it has a density of 5.3 lbs per cubic foot.  The Luxury Grand King has dimensions 80 x 76 x 14 inches and comes with a cover. 

This mattress is designed after the Tempur-Pedic GrandBed but it isn’t near as expensive.  You can see the Tempur-Pedic Grandbed here if you wish.  Like many a memory foam mattress it does give off an odor when first unpacked but most owners indicate that this dissipates quickly.  In addition there is a 120 day free trial on the mattress during which time you can send it back for a full refund. Finally, several consumers have commented on the quality customer service provided by Dynasty Mattress.  See our Luxury Grand KING 14 inch memory foam mattress review.


Sleep Innovations 12” Sure Temp Memory Foam Mattresses
This memory foam mattress carries a 20 year warranty and has over two hundred customer reviews which have provided a very respectable score of 4.6 stars out of 5.  There are 12 inch, 10 inch and 8 inch versions of the Sure Temp memory foam mattress.  They are all made up of base foam and memory foam – for example the 12 inch mattress is comprised of 2.5 inches of memory foam that sits atop 9.5 inches of support foam.

All of these mattresses use Sleep Innovation’s open cell technology.  Open cell technology promotes airflow and ultimately helps the mattress sleep cooler.   Many memory foam mattresses sleep hot so a technology that helps dissipate heat is often a good idea.  According to Sleep Innovations their memory foam is manufactured in the United States.  See our Sleep Innovations 12 inch Sure Temp memory foam mattress review.


Serta 12” Gel Foam Mattress
Serta have introduced a new product – gel foam.  This material is comprised of tiny gel beads infused into memory foam.  The gel beads are reported to provide additional cooling and support especially in areas of higher pressure.  This mattress is not as popular as the Sleep Innovations or Dynasty Mattress listed above but ratings are still very good (about 4.5 stars out of 5), and the mattress is not too expensive.  It should be said however that while most owners feel that the gel foam does its job and the mattress sleeps relatively cool, some folks feel it can still be too hot.

The Serta Gel Foam mattress is available in both 12 inches and 10 inches deep.  These are three layer mattresses and there is a layer of base foam, a layer of textured foam and a layer of gel memory foam (on the top). Owners feel the mattress provides a firm sleeping surface.  See our Serta 12 Inch Gel Foam mattress review.


Queen 12" Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress
Like the Luxury Grand KING this mattress is manufactured by Dynasty Mattress and it uses memory foam with a density of 5.3 lbs per cubic foot.   It has dual airflow channels for cooling and a washable cover is also included.  Like many Dynasty Mattresses this one is modeled after a Tempur-Pedic and consumer comments indicate that joint and back pain are sometimes alleviated after sleeping on the mattress, although this is purely observation.  Owners also highlight that motion transfer – when two people are sleeping on the bed – is limited.

The Queen 12" Therapeutic Memory Foam Mattress has dimensions 60 x 80 x 12 inches and it weighs about 90 lbs.  Most consumers give this mattress great ratings and it averages 4.4 stars out of 5 on Amazon at this time.  It also carries a 20 year warranty. See our Queen 12 Inch Therapeutic memory foam mattress review.
