Memory foam mattresses
and Memory foam beds.
Explained in important detail.Visco elastic is the technical term for
Memory foam. This type of foam was used in the USA by the Nassa space
program many years ago to help astronaughts with g-force on take off.
Memory foam had been developed and was not released into the open market
but did find its way into Hospitals to treat patients suffering from bed
pressure sores.
Memory foam distributes bodyweight more evenly than any traditional
mattress, thus reducing pressure build-up, which can lead to neck, back
and joint discomfort developing during sleep. The manufacturers making
memory foam for the hospitals are called foam converters. Once they had
released how good this new material was (Visco-elastic) these
manufacturers started to introduce their products into the mainstream
domestic bed and mattress market. Slowly people looking for beds and
mattresses started to see the extra benefits from sleeping on Memory
foam. Some of these benefits are. Hypo allergenic, anti microbial, anti
bacterial, pressure relief, temperature sensitive, silent in use,
conforms to the exact shape of the sleeper’s body.
Memory foam will also help relieve people who suffer from Back problems,
aching joints, sciatic pain, arthritis, rheumatism, circulatory problems
and neck pain. When you sleep on a
Memory foam mattress you will feel as though you are floating on air
as there is no pressure on the body, this is called -The dynamic
floatation effect- Also when sleeping on a memory foam mattress because
there is less pressure on the body you will not toss and turn as much
resulting in a deeper sleep rejuvenating the body waking up feeling
refreshed
All memory foam mattresses are not the same
Now that memory foam as found it’s way into the domestic bed market the
product is available in different grades. These grades are known as foam
densities. Although as a rule of thumb the higher the foam density the
better quality the foam is, in the case of memory foam this is not
always true. The reason for this is that foam is made up from a polymer
structure, example tiny little air bubbles. If the foam density is too
high then these tiny little air bubbles become very small, due to these
tiny little air bubbles been very small the memory foam does not breath
and becomes warmer than normal. We have found that memory foam with a
density between 40 and 60kg performs the best in keeping the mattress
cool.Memflex also recommends
memory foam mattresses with airflow channels built into the memory
foam this is achieved by cutting away-convoluted channels into the visco-elastic
helping the mattress to breath. Airflow is usually found on the deluxe
memory foam mattresses. Another good feature of some quality
memory foam mattresses is to cover the mattress with a cover made
from coolmax fabric or Outlast adapaptive comfort fabric.
Why coolmax?

performance clothing industry and is associated with leading brands such
