What is the difference between a memory foam mattress and a mattress that simply contains a memory foam layer?

The main difference lies in how the memory foam is integrated into the mattress design. A true memory foam mattress features a dedicated top layer of memory foam—typically at least 2 inches thick—which is specifically engineered to disperse heat effectively, relieve pressure, and conform to your body for enhanced comfort. In contrast, a mattress that merely includes a memory foam layer may have this material positioned lower in the construction or in a thinner layer, which can reduce its ability to provide significant temperature regulation and pressure relief benefits.
