Memory Foam (visco-elastic) was originally developed by NASA scientists
to allow astronauts greater comfort during their extended visits to Skylab
during late 1970’s.
Soon after, a handful of European foam factories
(Foltmar of Denmark being the first) started developing memory foam for
pillows and medical applications. The overwhelmingly positive response
in Denmark resulted in the design of an 8” memory foam mattress.
The rest is History, as this new more comfortable sleeping experience
is sweeping the globe.
Here are a few reasons why Temperature-Sensitive Memory Foam is changing the bedding industry:
Visco Elastic Foam
Temperature sensitive, open-cell foam made from Visco Elastic polymer
shapes itself to an individual’s body shape. As the foam warms to your
body temperature, you slowly mold into the top layer.
Less Tossing and Turning
Tossing and turning is caused by the need to reduce uncomfortable pressure
points that inhibit circulation. Traditional mattresses are more resilient
and when compressed by the body’s weight, respond by pushing back against
the body creating pressure points. The low resilience of the memory foam
surface prohibits this while promoting circulation, minimizing movement
so you can enjoy a deeper, more restful night’s sleep. Memory foam reduces
your arm from “falling asleep” during your rest.
Superior Back and Neck Support
The elasticity of the foam conforms better to the body, increasing points
of contact, providing superior support for the back and neck.
Isolates Movement
The energy absorbing properties of the sleeping surface isolates movement
that would be otherwise transferred across the bed. This allows one individual
to move or reside without disturbing their partner.
Continuous Support
Visco Elastic memory foam is a fast acting material compared to other
memory foams. This allows our mattress to quickly support the body as
it changes positions without leaving a void from the previous position.
