What is Memory Foam?

Without getting too technical and blinding you with scientific jargon, memory foam also known as visco elastic foam is a dense foam which was developed by NASA for astronauts undergoing the high pressures of G-force testing.

Memory foam behaves very differently to furniture foam in that it is a lot slower to recover to its original shape after being pressed and released. It also reacts to bodyheat by getting softer.  These ’slow-recovery’ and ‘heat-sensitive’ characteristics combine to give you what is proven to be one of the best sleep surfaces around.

A Memory foam mattress ‘moulds’ to the contours of your body offering unsurpassed levels of support and comfort whilst ensuring your spinal column is aligned correctly. No more waking up with a stiff back or annoying ‘crick’ in your neck.

Also, by cradling you in this way memory foam mattresses distribute weight and surface pressure evenly, potentially reducing bed sores, which are caused by  aggravated pressure between the skin and bone areas of the body such as the heels, hips, elbows and the back of the head. You’ll feel like your floating!

In fact, memory foam mattresses are so effective at relieving pressure and dispersing your body’s weight over a wider area they have been both clinically and medically proven to reduce tossing and turning through the night by up to 80%. This ensures you get longer periods of undisturbed sleep which results in you waking more invigorated, refreshed and energised.

Memory foam has been used in various applications for years from burns units in hospitals to pilots’ seats in aeroplanes. Although memory foam mattresses have been on the market as a domestic product for the past decade or so they were usually extremely expensive and only accessible to the privilidged few (even now, you’ll find examples priced well over £1000 for a double-sized bed).
