Tempur-Pedic was the first company to introduce a foam mattress product on the market, known as Tempur. This foam mattress was very durable and helped reduce pressure on the body. Initially used in hospital settings, the benefits described by patients, such as better sleep and less pain, encouraged Tempur-Pedic to begin selling to the general consumer market.

Today, there are many manufacturers which produce a foam mattress, including the popular memory foam which conforms to a person's body and reduces pressure points. Although memory foam is too soft to be used by itself as a complete mattress, it works very well as a topper for a regular mattress.

When shopping for a foam mattress, keep in mind that quality varies, and you really do get what you pay for. Qualities to consider include firmness, density, durability, and how the foam mattress responds to temperature.
