Visco Elastic Foam Mattress

Considering a visco elastic foam mattress? Sleep is one of the most important factors in one’s health and well being; unfortunately many people do not get the proper amount of sleep. Lack of sleep can cause tiredness during light hours, inability to properly complete daily tasks, lack of motivation, and an overall inability to enjoy your day. Many people do not get enough sleep because of daily activities, but beyond that many of us cannot comfortably fall asleep because of our bedding conditions. We toss and turn trying to figure out the best position to fall asleep in. If only sleeping could be like driving in your car. Once you have the seats adjusted, you know that every time you get into your vehicle it will be comfortable. Your seat settings remain the same. Well the good news is there is a way to simulate this experience. A visco elastic foam mattress does just that and beyond.

Your probably wondering what visco elastic memory foam is. Ever heard of memory foam? If that didn’t ring a bell, visco elastic memory foam mattresses consist of a combination of polyurethane and other chemicals that work together to increase viscosity and density. Hence the word ‘visco’. This compound becomes firm when exposed to cool conditions, and softer when exposed to heat. So if you lay down on a visco elastic foam mattress what do you think would happen? This temperature sensitive memory phone was created by the Ames Research Center owned by NASA. Its original intentions were to make aircraft conditions safer. Soon after it started being used as liner in football helmets, and pads on X-ray tables. Eventually it became a hit product on the market after a company called Tempur World decided to use the material to create cushions.

Visco elastic foam mattresses hold shape when pressure is applied to it, creating a mold of whatever the object is that is applying the pressure. This fact alone is what has made this foam such a must have in the bedding and mattress industry. Imagine your just coming home from a long day at work and a horrible sleepless night before. You lie in your brand-new memory foam mattress as it begins to form the shape of your body, and sinks in just enough for you to feel like your floating. Instead of spending 2 hours trying to adjust yourself to your bed, what’s better than a bed that will adjust to you! Sleeping stiffly causes us joint aches. We place so much pressure on our joints and muscles throughout the day, and the only time those parts of your body are able to heal is when you are asleep. How can your body heal if it still has to work just to sleep? A visco elastic foam mattress is the solution to your back aches, joint aches, muscle aches, headaches, you name it! Anything that aches can be soothed by proper sleep.

When purchasing a visco elastic foam mattress (A.K.A memory foam) it is important to know that there are different weights of memory foam that may be customizable to fit a person’s specific sleeping habits. For instance, if you were to purchase 4lb memory foam, you would feel as though you were sleeping on a cloud. It would move with your body easily. 3lb memory foam would keep up with your body movements even quicker! As far as 5lb memory foam goes, it moves at a slower rate. Because of this, you may tend to fall back into your normal sleep position as it makes it harder for you to move. This is a good thing for anyone who doesn’t move a lot while they are sleeping. I highly recommend this material to anyone who likes the idea of getting a good nights rest.
