Gel Memory Foam Mattresses

 Soft and comfortable, memory foam mattresses have redefined how we sleep. But there’s one catch: They can retain body heat. It means that sleeping on them might become uncomfortably warm.

What is a Gel Mattress?

A gel foam mattress is essentially a memory foam mattress but with a cooling gel component. Apart from reducing heat retention, the gel  provides extra support, making the mattress more durable. 


This mattress is usually paired with either a coil system or a foam base. We provide both options at Factory Buys to accommodate your preferences. We also have foam infused with green tea, which helps prevent the growth of bacteria and unpleasant odours. 

What are the Pros and Cons of Gel Mattresses?

A cool gel memory foam mattress is one of the most innovative mattresses to have come out in recent memory. However, it has a fair share of pros and cons.

  • Pro: It helps regulate temperature. The gel component dissipates heat, which a traditional memory foam can’t. If you live on the warmer side of Australia, this mattress is for you.

  • Pro: It offers pressure relief. Since gel mattresses work like memory foam, they can contour to your body and boost overall comfort.

  • Con: It might not be suitable for all. Memory foam mattresses, including gel-infused ones, aren’t for everybody. Some are concerned about them being too cushiony. These may not be for you if you prefer firm mattresses.

  • Con: It is heavier than other mattresses. These mattresses have gel as an additional component. As they are heavier, they're also more difficult to move around.

Is a Gel Mattress Good for Your Back?

Simply put, a gel memory foam mattress is good for your back. These mattresses also offer a combination of firm support and pressure relief for people struggling with back pain. They are suitable for back sleepers and side sleepers, and those with back and neck pain.

Here at Factory Buys, we specifically offer mattresses with high-density foam for the best contouring pressure relief. Our foam adjusts to the natural curvature of your spine and, ultimately, alleviates stress on your back.

We also have gel foam mattresses with a six-turn independent coil system. We have mattresses with multi-layer technology for a more upscale feel. An egg-shaped foam layer ensures bounce and ventilation while the cooling gel foam layer reduces heat retention. Meanwhile, there’s a high-density foam layer to boost durability. 

Our mattresses are safe for your skin, as we use hypoallergenic materials. Their dust-mite resistance further secures a safe sleep experience.

Are Gel Memory Foam Mattresses Better Than Normal Memory Foam Mattresses?

Our customers love our memory foam selection, including both a gel-infused memory foam mattress and a regular one. The main reason for favouring memory foam is the superior contouring support. However, a gel-infused memory foam mattress has a slight advantage. And it all comes down to temperature regulation. 

If you prefer a cooler sleep experience, a gel-infused memory foam mattress will work better for you. The gel infusions increase strength and enhance air circulation, prolonging the mattress’ lifespan.

How Long Do Gel Mattresses Last?

A gel memory foam mattress usually lasts 7 to 10 years. The star feature is the gel that bolsters the mattress' overall structural integrity.

With proper upkeep, you can enjoy your mattress for up to 15 years. Avoiding bouncing and jumping on it is one way to keep it in perfect shape. A gentle vacuum can keep dust, dead skin cells, and other debris out of your mattress.

Like other fabric-coated furniture in your home, take immediate action once you see spills or stains. How? Spray the affected area with warm water and mild soap and scrub the affected area carefully. As a precautionary measure, buying a mattress protector is ideal. 

Then, to avoid uneven wear, rotate your mattress every few months. Additionally, place it next to an open window to air it out.
