Now you can get a beautiful night’s sleep and arise fully refreshed
If you’re wondering what all the fuss is about, with regard to a memory foam mattress, then you could be in for a happy experience. Many of those who need very good support while they sleep, yet who are uncomfortable on really firm mattresses, sing the praises of memory foam. This substance is actually called visco elastic foam, and it’s the unusual properties of this kind of foam that make the mattresses so comfortable.
Visco elastic memory foam is comprised of tiny, spherical, weight and temperature sensitive cells. As the cells heat up, they soften and spread pressure, which means that as you lie down on a memory foam mattress, your body heat makes the initially firm substance of the foam relax and conform to your own shape. Once your heat is removed, the tiny cells firm up again and return to their original shape. This, as you might imagine, is where memory foam gets its name.
There’s more to the support than that, though. The visco memory foam only heats up and becomes elastic down to a certain depth. So the top layers of cells will soften and adapt to your body shape, yet the foam farther down remains as cool as before, and therefore doesn’t change. So it retains its shape and provides extra underlying firmness, meaning that memory foam mattresses give you both the contoured support above and the firm support below.
Another factor in both the support and the shape of the mattress is its own density. You might find inexpensive memory foam mattresses with a density of 1.5 pounds per cubic foot, and another of 8 pounds. A higher density will provide more support and relief for those with hip or back problems. Additionally, there are single, double, queen or king size memory foam mattress choices available, as well as memory foam contour pillows.
The end result for the sleeper is that a memory foam mattress relieves pressure points on the body; those areas that press harder into the mattress. These points are why people can get stiff even while supposedly relaxing in sleep, and are also the places where they develop bedsores if they are bedridden for quite some time. Visco elastic memory foam supports every part of the body equally, so no part of it is pressing into the mattress harder than any other.
