The Many Uses of an Egg Crate Mattress Pad
Posted by GuestPoster in -Home and Furnishings
Egg crate mattress pads serve several different purposes, including providing support and comfort for recovering patients in hospitals and making a firm mattress a little softer in the home. The unique bump and dip design of these mattress pads allows airflow between the body and the mattress, keeping the sleeper from getting too warm. Because of all of these benefits, the egg crate mattress pad continues to be a popular choice for a mattress topper in many different situations.
The egg crate mattress pad allows your weight to be evenly distributed, which will relieve pressure points as well as improve blood circulation. Because they provide so many benefits for people who need to be in bed for long periods of time, egg crate mattress pads are used routinely in places like hospitals, nursing homes and rehab centers. Medical grade foam mattress pads are usually made of urethane foam and have an open cell construction. This allows the air to flow from one tiny cell to another, which means the mattress pad will be supportive, yet comfortable.
You can also purchase medical grade mattress pads for home use if you need to. However, if you are looking for a pad for a child’s bed or for occasional guest use, you may be satisfied with a less expensive egg crate mattress pad. The pads start at about $30 and go up to as much as $200 depending on the size and the quality of the foam and the construction. You can find these mattress pads in medical supply stores and through online retailers. They range in thickness form 2 inches to 4 inches. While the thickness is not really a measure of the quality, you should get a thicker pad for an adult over 200 pounds.
Once you have tried sleeping on an egg crate mattress pad it may be hard to go without it. They truly provide a comfortable night’s rest and the benefits they provide are numerous.
