Memory foam mattress

The memory foam mattress is manufactured from a unique material that has the ability to contour itself to the shape and geometry of any human body. The material itself was invented by the NASA space program.

The memory foam mattress provides an even support to the whole body whilst helping to maintain the double S shape of the spine. In so doing, it prevents localised pressure points that can cause aches, pains and disrupt sleep. Unlike traditional orthopaedic mattresses, memory foam mattresses are not hard or firm and they dispel the myth that only very firm mattresses have orthopaedic qualities.

Memory foam works by reacting to the weight and shape of the person resting upon it and, when they get off the mattress, the foam’s memory qualities cause it to return to its original shape.

The are a lot of different memory foam products on the market and there is a wide range of quality variation between some of them.
