What is Memory Foam

Memory foam, or Visco-elastic foam, is a special type of foam that responds to the body's temperature and then perfectly conforms to the body's shape. As the memory foam gently conforms to the body it redistributes the body's weight. More of the body is in contact with the sleep surface: The more square inches of contact, the less overall pressure per square inch. This conformability of the memory foam allows every square inch of the body to be supported and thereby significantly reduces skin pressure by as much as 50%. This improves the circulation, reduces pressure points as well as spinal pressure. Memory foam comes in various densities ranging from 3-5 lb. 4lb density is by far the most used and most popular. 5 lb density memory foam tends to be firmer and warmer. Our Memory Sleeper, and our Cool Comfort memory foam mattresses all are made from 4lb density memory foam. Our Sweet Dreams memory foam mattress toppers are made from Vita 4lb memory foam and available in 2”, 3” and 4” thickness. Our contoured memory foam pillow is made from 4lb memory foam to give your head and neck the proper support. Our traditional memory foam pillow is made from a softer 3lb memory foam, which gives it the feel of a down pillow.
