Memory Foam was first designed by NASA in the 1960’s and was known as visco elastic foam. It was designed specifically to counteract the pressure astronauts experienced when exiting and entering the earth’s atmosphere.
In the 1990’s Memory Foam was first introduced into consumer goods when it was discovered there were many benefits of sleeping on a Memory Foam mattress. Memory Foam has the ability to support our entire body weight while reducing strain put on pressure points when we lay down.
The foam also shapes and contours to our body shape to avoid disturbance when sleeping and lessens the chance of us awakening with aches and pains.
Unlike traditional coil and spring mattresses, Memory Foam combines comfort and support to keep your spine aligned no matter what sleep position you prefer.
Here are some of the benefits of sleeping on a Memory Foam mattress:
Moulds and contours.
Memory Foam is highly resilient and reacts to your body, heat and weight molding itself to your curves. This is why Memory Foam makes an ideal choice over a traditional coil and spring mattress.
Relieves Pressure.
Sleeping on a mattress which is too firm can often lead to pain in pressure points such as you back, hips, shoulders and knees. Sleeping on a Memory Foam mattress disperses body weight across the surface eliminating the pressure on these points.
Reduces Neck and Back Pain.
Visco elastic foam allows your spine to align in a neutral position allowing you sleep in your preferred position which in turn will reduce neck and back pain when you awaken.
Limits Motion Transfer.
Memory Foam is motion transfer absorbent which minimizes the effects of movement, this makes a foam mattress the perfect choice for couples.
Hypo-allergenic.
For allergy sufferers a Memory Foam mattress is the idea choice. Polyurethane repels mildew and mould and is resistant to dust mites.
Great for all sleeping positions.
The resilient nature of memory foam makes these mattresses ideal for any sleeping position. The even distribution of body weight means that whatever sleeping position you prefer your body is supported.
Advanced technology.
Foam Mattresses used to have a bad reputation for being hot. Technology advancements include cooling materials to allow cool air in and disperse warm air. High-grade adaptive materials means that Foam Mattresses are available in a variety of support from soft to firm. The open cell design also eliminates sagging and shrinkage.
