Ok, so the egg crate mattress pads might not look as fancy as foam, luxurious pads but they are comfortable, long-lasting and supportive.


Oh, and a lot cheaper, too.

What is an egg crate mattress pad? As the name implies, these are mattress pads that look like an egg carton. Even if your first impression might be that they are quite uncomfortable, try lying on it for several seconds. The small foam bumps and dips are the one responsible for the comfort that this pad provides.

What are they made off? These pads are made from either closed or open cell foam, which is molded like the egg carton I was telling you earlier. The bumps and dips are distributed uniformly so the pad can support your body weight and distribute it evenly. A closed cell pad is more expensive than an open cell one because it uses more material, but it also provides more value to the customer.

How to use the mattress pad egg crate. Well, you don’t have to be e genius to figure this out. Take the pad out of its plastic foil and let it lie flat for several hours because you need it to be flat, not to have the constant feeling that the pad is curling under your body. Then, place the egg crate mattress pad directly on your mattress, with the bumps facing the ceiling. If you will look at the flat side of all egg crate mattress pads, you will notice that it’s not slippery at all. This is a big, big advantage because you don’t want to constantly look if the pad slipped or not. You can use this pad on all types of mattress, except for a memory foam mattress because it will basically sink into it.

How it works. Basically, the bumps and dips do all the work. They keep your body nicely aligned, reducing pressure points, thus preventing joint pain. They are made from a type of foam that has high breathability features, thus keeping you cooler in the hot summer days and warmer in cold winter nights. They are dust and mildew repellent, keeping your bed clean and pest free.

For less than $150 for a luxurious, comfortable pad, it’s truly worth to take some time off and see what egg crate mattress pads you can find. Test them, ask the shop assistant what he/she recommends to you and look for any craftsmanship flaws that might reduce your comfort level.
