What is Memory Foam?

Memory foam is an easy way of saying visco elastic polyurethane foam. Memory foam is a material that conforms with body temperature and returns to the original shape after the person removes themselves from the material. Memory foam was originally developed for NASA to help relieve the gravitational forces during take off for the astronauts, but was never used for the space program. Tempurpedic mattresses was the first company to realize the potential of memory foam for medical and home use. Tempurpedic reformulated the original formula created by NASA and came up with the Tempura mattresses. The Tempura mattresses are the leading memory foam mattresses on the market.

Memory Foam Benefits

Memory foam mattresses are recommended by doctors worldwide for their many benefits. The foam reacts to the individuals temperature and conforms to the shape of the body to provide the correct alignment for the neck and spine. People with neck and back problems will in time see an improvement and a more restful sleep. It also has been proven that the foam material is better for allergies than a spring mattress. The memory foam mattresses with higher cell density will provide the most support for the body. A lot of the foam mattresses on the market don’t have the high density material and the mattress will not perform the way it is meant to nor will it last as long. The higher density memory foam will last at least 10 years or more if made with high quality materials. There are many types of viscoeleastc memory foam out there but they are not all the same. Go with names you can trust.
