2. What is Memory
Foam?
Memory Foam Benefits Quality Density Thickness Cool Fabrics
Memory foam was first developed by NASA in
the 1970s and has undergone numerous
improvements since then.
Initially marketed as a medical material for
reducing bedsores in patients, mattress
manufacturers were quick to realise the benefits
memory foam held for their customers.
3. Benefits

Comfort: memory foam moulds to your body's shape, which means
you sink into the mattress slightly.
Support: A memory foam mattress is usually denser than other
foam mattresses, this makes it more supportive.
Pressure point relief: Memory foam mattresses eliminate all
pressure points and ensure your spine is correctly aligned while you
are sleeping.
Better weight distribution: When sleeping with a partner on a
traditional coil sprung mattresses a roll-together effect can occur.
With memory foam this wont happen. You will both be perfectly
supported on your own side of the bed.
Hypoallergenic: Memory foam mattresses are hypoallergenic and
anti-microbial because of their denser structure which makes it
ideal for allergy sufferers.
4. Quality

Memory foam mattresses and memory foam products
vary in quality:
While there are very good quality memory foam
mattresses available at reasonable prices, be aware of
extremely cheap memory foam products, as these are
often made with poor quality, low density memory
foam which will not give you the support or durability
of good quality memory foam mattresses.
Always choose your memory foam mattresses from
trusted mattress brands so that the memory foam is of
sufficient quality.
5. Density

Most memory foam mattresses will have a core
that is made of a supportive material such as
springs or High Density Polyurethane.
The memory foam will be layered on top. The
denser the memory foam, the firmer the
mattress will feel.
Denser foams are more costly to manufacture
and therefore are usually more expensive to buy.
Which density you choose is a matter of personal
preference and budget.
6. Thickness

Most memory foam mattresses will come with a
layer of memory foam on top of another material
base.
How thick that layer of memory foam is will
determine how comfortable and supportive the
mattress is.
As a general rule, 50mm or thicker will give an
average weight adult plenty of support and will
allow the memory foam to conform to the
contours of the body effectively.
7. Cool Memory Foams

A common complaint about memory foam is that it
retains body heat.
Nowadays most of the memory foam mattresses have
a cooling cover which helps to disperse excess body
heat, helping to maintain an ambient sleeping
environment.
Some have a fabric covering, others have the heat
repellant properties built into the memory foam itself.
Different manufacturers have come up with different
versions such as Cool Max, Blu Cool and Cool Feel.
