I agree, memory foam is supposed to mold to your body. As a result it will leave an impression eventually. What I generally look at is the warranty. In this case it is a 7 year warranty. 7 years is a little low for memory foam, so I'm guessing that they think it will not last that long. Digging deeper in to their warranty, it seems they consider a 3/4 inch indentation "normal". Like the previous answer, I am a fan of latex, perhaps you should try that as well.

If you are looking for a mattress where impressions are minimized, consider air technology, like Comfortaire. For about the same price, you could purchase a mattress with more than twice the over all length of warranty, and these style of beds minimize the effects of impressions. And with the modular construction even if an impression is not "covered" if it bothers you, you can replace just that component, saving money and time of shopping for a new bed.

Tempurpedic is more expensive but their limited warranty is also much longer. The Ellis Bay bed has 4 pound base support, which is squisier, and will impress sooner.

Every mattress takes a body impression...long before the warranty expires....Every Mattress. The best way to to minimize this is to add a latex mattress topper to a reasonably firm mattress. Latex is the most resilient and most durable material available. This has been so since the 1920s. There's nothing new about it and it's performance is well proven.

Take a look at the manufacturers written warranty card. There SHOULD be a line or two that spells out how much body impression is allowable. Average to fair today is 1.5 to 2 inches. If it does not list a measurement then pass. The industry best are around 3/4 of an inch. I'm not a fan of buying a mattress expecting to add something to it to make it work. If you add a layer of anything over a mattress you're still compressing the mattress..

Sorry Guys, I have to chime in here and contradict all of you. The factory warranties, today, are more meaningless than they have ever been. The quality of mattresses has gone down over the past ten years, while the length of the warranties has increased. Memory foam is the reason why. Memory foam is the worst material ever invented for use in or as a mattress. It does everything that they claim, but only for a short time. The negative side effects of memory foam are many and not part of the sales pitch. The truly diabolical part about memory foam is that it will return to its original shape for a very long time. Since it doesn't take a sustained impression deep enough to authorize an exchange, they can offer longer warranties. However, memory foam will lose its support and comfort in a short time relative to the warranty. Memory foam is a waste of money...pure and simple. The warranties that go with them are as worthless and the memory foam itself. It's all a very elaborate scam.
