Memory Foam Mattress

With the advancement of science and technology every aspect of life has seen a sea change. The all-encompassing technology has taken everything from a box of matches to astro-physics under its sway. Mattresses were not left behind. Past 30-40 years have seen such advancement in world of mattresses that our forefathers would have never deemed possible. One such path breaking innovation was the memory foam mattress.

Some accounts have it that memory mattresses were first invented for NASA expedition. It was specially designed to relieve astronauts from the g-forces that worked on their body during take-off. It seems that the memory foam mattress was never used in the actual mission by NASA. But the mattress that was never used in space soon became a rage on earth.

Memory foam mattresses revolutionalized the mattress industry. The subsequent years have seen the demand for memory foam mattress only increase. First to come into the market were the memory foam mattresses under the name Tempur-pedic. Copycats soon followed.

There is not one thing in the memory foam mattresses that makes them special. There are several. Memory foam mattresses have something called visco-elastic nature. This means that the memory foam mattresses are both viscous and elastic. Thus the mattress molds to every part of the body that comes into contact with it. It traces the contour of the body and relaxing every point in the process.

Another property of memory foam mattresses is that reduces pressure. It transfers air from one of it cells to another in accordance to the pressure felt. This means that the body on the memory foam mattress never feels any pressure!

Mattresses by convention are either firm or soft. Not so the memory foam mattress. Memory foam mattresses marry the two contrasting properties to create a near-perfect offspring. The top layer of these mattresses is soft while the second layer is harder, giving support to the back.

The memory foam mattresses keep the neck and the rest of the body in perfect alignment. This ensures reduced neck pains and body aches.

It seems unlikely that the memory foam mattresses that combine so many pluses would go out-of-market soon. But science that brought it in might one day evolve and bring in newer, better options. Till that day memory foam mattresses remain a very good bet.
