Memory foam mattresses are all the rage. Memory foam mattresses have been recommended by doctors for relief for a variety of symptoms including bruxism, fibromyalgia, sleep apnea and snoring. The only problem with memory foam mattresses is the price. Name brand memory foam mattresses can cost up to $1500 putting them out of the reach of most people. Fortunately, there are a few options for people with limited budgets. One of the more affordable memory foam mattress option is offered from the Sleepy Mountain Mattress Company.

I became interested in a memory foam mattress when I began to suffer back pain from traditional inner springs. The Sleepy Mountain Component Mattress system was available from the company website for $630, almost half price from a comparable name brand mattress.

What is a component mattress? A component mattress is made up of three separate layers that are shipped separately and can be stacked to make your bed more customized. The Sleepy Mountain memory foam mattress comes with one firm foam layer, one medium firm layer and one memory foam layer. The memory foam layer goes on top, while the bottom two layers are placed according to your desired firmness.

After doing comparison shopping, I discovered that Sleepy Mountain Mattress offered the same products that were feature on their website through eBay for much less. I ordered the 8 Inch Full Size Memory Foam Mattress for $87.40 plus around $90 for shipping.

The memory foam mattress shipped in three separate boxes and arrived in just over a week. They were securely packed and heavily shrink wrapped, to the point that it was difficult to remove the layers from their plastic packaging. When I did finally get the memory foam mattress layers out of the wrapping, there was a definite chemical odor but it wasn't overwhelming. If you are sensitive to chemicals you should have your windows open before your unwrap your mattress layers. The odor goes away after a day or two of airing the memory foam mattress out.
