What Is Memory Foam

Memory foam is a special type of foam that was initially developed by NASA for use on their Shuttles. They were looking for a  way to make the seats on the shuttle more comfortable. From this need memory foam was born. So what is memory foam? Memory  foam is a special type of foam that has the ability to change and then regain its original shape. The foam will mould itself  to whoever is using it and once the foam is not in use it will regain its original shape. Eventually NASA released the  material for private use. The process of making memory foam was very complex and unreliable in the beginning. Not a lot of  companies were willing to work with the material. Today the technology has become a lot better and memory foam is more  commonly seen.

There are two main types of memory foam. There is the kind that responds to pressure applied and the kind that responds to  heat. The kind that responds to pressure will mould itself around any object that applies pressure to it. Once the pressure  is gone the foam will regain its original shape. The other type of memory foam is the kind that responds to heat. When this  foam feels a small amount of heat it begins to change shape, when the heat is gone the foam goes back to its original shape.  Memory foam is very comfortable to use. It is used to make couches and cushions as well as mattresses.

Memory foam mattresses are very comfortable and are very nice to use. When you lie down on the mattress it will mould itself  to your body. The memory foam mattress will give your body proper support and you will not wake up with any weird aches and  pains.
