Page 3 - Bed Mattress Pad

Since it made up of open cell material and is porous, the air pushes through to other cells when you

sit or sleep on it, creating a depression. The air moves back once you stand up and the depression

disappears. Since this type of mattress does not resist your body weight like traditional mattresses do,

it provides balanced support and comfort, reducing bed sores and relieving pressure points. The crate

style bed mattress pad (as the name suggests) looks like an egg crate with soft curvy dips and bumps

and completely flat on the reverse side. This type of mattress pad can be made from both open and

closed cell foam, though the ones that are of the highest quality tend to be open cell, sing medical

grade, medium density urethane foam.

For consumers who want a ‘greener’ product can now buy the organic version of the bed mattress

pad. This type of pad is usually made of natural latex and covered with organic cotton or woolen

fabric and is one hundred percent hypoallergenic. It is also a lot more comfortable than regular

mattress pads due to the breathable porous nature of the fabric which absorbs moisture, keeping the

body warm or cool according to the prevailing room temperature. Bed mattress pads serve such

diverse functions and are widely available that finding one to suit your requirements and budget is

now easier than ever.
