Is the high-density foam described here the same thing as memory foam? If not what is the difference?

The high density foam they sent me is conventional foam. Most typical bedding companies will use low density conventional foams in their products which will have a higher propensity to break down over time. Typically lower density means lower cost and lower quality. Memory Foam is foam which is slow to recover like the Tempurpedic material. I had a Tempurpedic and I was constantly sweating as the mattresse did not breathe. Hated it. Conventional foam will recover right away and not leave an impression behind and will be much more breathable. Hope this helps.

I do not have memory foam in mine. I'm not an expert, but memory foam conforms more to your body and you see an impression for a couple of seconds. The high density foam doesn't act the same way.

It is not like memory foam at all. I'm very unhappy w this bed and can't return it because once u get it out of the box u can't get it back in and u r stuck. Don't get it

A typical foam will return to its original shape after being released from compression. On the other hand, memory foam will return to its shape slowly, making it look like the foam has "memory" to the compression. Thus nicknamed "memory foam".

hard foam with a removable/washable cover. Not quite "memory foam" but very close.

It's memory foam but not the super dense kind. It's lightweight.love it for myself

I have several memory foam items and this seems to be like them. But not as dense, because your hand print won't stay in it after you press on as long as say, my memory foam mattress topper. It's comfortable enough. Hope that helped.

I'm not sure what memory foam is made of, usually the cheaper they are the more formaldehyde thaey have. This one did not have the usual smell, my husband was able to use it the same night without airing it out first.

None- they are the same. You can buy thicker pieces of memory foam which I find more comfortable!

Have no idea. You need to ask that question directly to someone from Serta. Keep in mind all the "Memory foam" mattress are what I classify as "solid state". They are one giant chunk of foam. This is what we put into our attics and walls for insulation. So when you lay on a solid slab of foam (even if its various layers and the final layer is so-called 'cool gel'" all your body heat gets absorbed, then bounced back at you. I found it excessively hot. And while there were $4K and $5K memory foam mattresses by tempurpedic that were "extra cool" this is a waste of money as you are paying for a flawed design. Stick with the individually coiled springs. Almost all modern mattresses have memory foam or "cool gel" in the final layer anyway - but at least with coil springs, there's critical air circulation within the mattress and that's the best guard against heat build up.

Been using mine for months (less than a year) and can tell no difference in the firmness or shape. The manufacture recommends a mattress pad which I'm sure will help prolong the life of the memory foam.

I'm not sure since I only got this recently but I'm assuming that this is a cheaper version of the kind initially reviewed. Its not worth it IMO. Its a mattress topper, but nothing like memory foam toppers I've had.

I didn't check the actual density but it feels pretty dense to me, three inches of high quality memory foam, can't go wrong!

It's a close call (and I have limited experience with Memory Foam), but I'd say "Yes". Here's why:> Memory Foam presents resistance merely because of its density... but it melts away when you put pressure on it.> This latex pad is quite dense, but it actually pushes back on your hand. I'd say it presents as much *material resistance* as M.F., but *pushes back* about 2-3x harder than M.F.Suggest you get the 4", though, to really feel the difference.

Hello T. Cleland ~Thank you for your inquiry. Please be advised that this is a firm mattress. However, please note that it does not contain any memory foam - it is made from high density polyurethane foam. Sincerely,CatherineSerenia Sleep Customer Service Team

I was not impressed with the foam density of this cushion. I'm 210lbs and I just sank down to the hard board. Used it for a while but always with another cushion. Much happier with the Hermell Products Hip Cushion, 6-Inch. Good dense foam that does not allow me to sink but is also giving enough to be comfortable while seated for long periods. It does keep you raised which is great if you have longer legs.

It is a high density foam. We went from a 4 inch low density to this and we can not believe how comfortable it is. It has some give but is very supportive. I don't feel like I was climbing out of hole when I moved on it.

This is a classic-style foam. It is my understanding that T&N has a special manufacturing process for this kind of foam. It's not like what I have tried on cheaper foam mattresses, as it's quite supportive.
