Memory Foam Mattresses

What is Memory Foam?

Originally developed by NASA, visco-elastic memory foam responds to the shape of anything placed on it, slowly regaining its original appearance once pressure has been removed from it.

This makes it incredibly supportive as it can follow your contours, maximising the contact between your body and mattress surface. This relieves pressure in areas such as the shoulders and lower lumbar, allowing heavier parts of your frame to sink into the mattress, whilst preventing pressure points from becoming an issue.

Are Memory Foam Mattresses Hot

Traditional memory foam mattresses are known for being warmer than other mattresses, this is because the synthetic material uses body heat to soften and contour to your body shape.

If you are a warm sleeper and worry about being too hot at night, try a Cool Blue memory foam mattress. This special type of memory foam is designed to disperse body heat, thus keeping you cooler while you sleep.

Another option is a hybrid mattress. These mattresses have layers of memory foam with a pocket sprung core. This gives you the same level of comfort and support you would expect in a memory foam mattress, while the springs improve airflow throughout the mattress and help to dissipate heat.
