Memory foam has become one of the newest
selling sections of the mattress industry.
It was originally manufactured
for the use of NASA with the intention to lessen the gravitational forces experienced
during take offs and landings. Others said
it was intended for the dashboards of the shuttle and some say it was for the
cockpit seats. But NASA never used it
and the assumption is that the off-gassing of this petro-chemical product in
the confined quarters of space flight may have been the reason. And that is when Tempur-Pedic bought the
rights from NASA to develop the foam for mattress applications and memory
foam mattress reviews and successfully leads the spring free segment of
mattress industry. The greatest
advantage of memory foam is its unique ability to conform to the body without
creating pressure. And that is why it is
being used in burn centers throughout the world. Another great advantage to memory foam is its
ability to dampen motion transfer which is of great help and solution for
people who cannot sleep due to the movements of their partners. Another advantage of memory foam is its
capability to offer straight spinal alignment because of its unique technology
make-up of being open celled foam. As
the person lies down, the shoulders and hips deflate the cells and allow the
foam to provide the natural straight spinal alignment needed for muscle relaxation
thus avoiding muscle pains and stiffness brought about by pulled muscle in an effort
to straighten the spine.
