There’s no such thing as a medical eggcrate foam mattress because this type of mattress is unable to properly support your body weight by its own.


 However, if you are looking for a solution to make your old mattress more comfortable, than you should buy an egg crate mattress pad.

Effectiveness proved hospitals use this type of pads because studies shown that patients that  recover after important procedures, heal a lot faster and experience a higher level of comfort than the one delivered by a regular mattress.

This can work for you too. If you have problems with your joints, if you wake up with back pain or if your whole body is sore, get yourself an egg crate foam mattress pad. It will keep your body nicely aligned, reducing pressure points so that you can finally remember how it is to actually rest while you sleep.

Features

As I said earlier, you can’t find a medical eggcrate foam mattress, but you can find eggcrate pads that are designed to be used in hospitals. These are more comfortable and supportive than the ones you find in bedding shops, can last longer and the surprise is that they can even be cheaper.

* Most of these pads are latex free, so if you have a latex allergy, it’s safe to use it.

* Some egg crate mattress pads can come in three layers: one layer made exclusively out of pure memory foam and the other two from air-flow foam. The first layer is the one responsible for the cushioning feature of the pad, properly distributing your body weight whilst the second layer keeps the egg crate foam mattress pad ventilated, so it will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer.

These pads are available in a wide range of thickness so you can get the one that suits you best. If you have an acceptable mattress, then choose a pad with small to medium thickness but if the mattress is old and uncomfortable beyond reasons and you can’t shop for a new mattress from various reasons, then go for the big pad.

Cleaning it. The foam egg crate mattress pad requires basic cleaning once or twice a year and whenever you stain it. Get an old spray bottle and mix water, lemon and baking soda and spray on the pad. Let it soak for about an hour and then use the shower to clean it. After it’s completely dry you can place it on the bed and you’re done.

Even if the medical eggcrate foam mattress is probably just a plan for the future, you can still enjoy the benefits of the eggcrate foam with the mattress pad. After your first night of sleep on it you will see for yourself what a big difference it can make.
