Egg crate foam is also known as
convoluted foam. The cut design of egg crate foam is to create channeling for
air flow. To create egg crate foam, a mattress four to eight inches thick is
compressed between rollers and pushed through a convoluted saw blade. The foam
is then configured into the egg crate design and the foam mattress is now two
matching egg crate mattresses, resulting in a finished height of two to four
inches thick. The classic cone shape provides high and low pressure points. The
low pressure points insure that obstructions of the lymphatic and venous of the
limbs are kept to a minimum. The high points of the cones are compressed with
weight distribution in the shoulder and hip areas, while the waist and leg areas
receive more support. This gives the egg crate mattress the ability to conform
to the shape of your body. The channeling allows for the skin to breathe and is
a preventive measure for bed sores. This is why egg crate mattresses are used
in hospitals and mainly distributed through medical companies.
An egg crate foam mattress is only
as good as the quality of the foam it’s made of. Most large chain department
stores sale the low quality standard polyurethane mattresses because of the low
price point at retail. Their thought behind this is that an uneducated consumer
is their best customer. Therefore we have translated our vast knowledge of foam
mattress quality, comfort, and longevity into simple terms so you can easily
understand and make the correct choice of foam mattress quality for your desired
application. A satisfied customer is our main concern. You are the foundation
of our success over the past half century as we continue to build our
reputation as one of the most trusted companies on the web.
