Memory Foam was originally designed for the NASA space project, to help absorb the pressure that the astronaut’s bodies faced when exiting and entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Memory foam proved to be very successful and it was soon recognised by the health profession.

Memory foam is now used in many hospitals all over the world, and helps to prevent bed sores that are common if a patient is lying down for a substantial period of time. Due to advances in technology and affordability, it is now common to see memory foam mattresses in ordinary homes and these help millions of people to relax and have a good night’s sleep.

Ordinary mattresses can often be hard and can cause uneven pressure on the body, making it hard to get a proper night’s sleep. Because of the way that memory foam is made, each foam cell responds to the shape and temperature of your body providing an equal amount of support for your whole body.

This is particularly beneficial if you suffer from back problems or impaired movements, as the memory foam supports the whole body, relieving pressure. Memory foam also quickly regains its shape when not in use.

Memory foam is now available in many different thicknesses and sizes, ranging from 1 inch thick mattress toppers to full memory foam mattresses; so it is easy to choose the right one to suit you.
