Memory Foam Mattresses:

Memory Foam Mattresses!

Visco Elastic memory foam is a direct result of space-age technology. Developed during the 1960’s for NASA, this product was used to cushion and deflect the tremendous effects of gravitational pull experienced by our astronauts during take off and re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere. By way of its great success with NASA, memory foam began being used to cushion, protect and comfort critically ill individuals in hospital intensive care units. It also provided outstanding healing benefits and comfort to bed ridden individuals in hospital burn centers. As its fame grew other industries began using visco elastic memory foam in car seats, cushions and a wide variety of products. Soon customers who experienced visco elastic memory foam in hospital beds and other mattresses began demanding this product for their own use. The rest is history! Now you can find tons of memory foam sleeping accessories including memory foam pillows, and memory foam mattress toppers. 

The most well know memory foam mattresses are made by Tempur-Pedic, but with improvements to sleep technology other mattress companies have begun to produce their own line of memory foam mattresses. Sealy, Serta, and Bragada all have become players in the visco elastic memory foam mattress market, while new companies like Essentia are offering new innovative ways of making natural memory foam beds. 

Because of its comforting properties, tossing and turning are dramatically diminished, and disrupted sleep patterns greatly eliminated. Consequently you sleep longer without moving while in a more comfortable position, and enjoy the benefits of a deeper, more restful sleep pattern. Additionally, when you do move in bed, visco elastic memory foam gently fills in and reshapes itself to your new sleeping posture, cradling every part of your body. This support also helps keep your hips and spine in proper alignment reducing back and neck pain. Visco elastic memory foam eliminates uncomfortable pressure points and adjusts itself based on your own body temperature and weight. Several bed manufacturers are currently making beds that use both memory foam and latex foam together to provide an even more comfortable sleeping surface.
