Memory Foam Mattress Pillows Beds
The Baby
Memory Foam was originally developed by NASA and used on space
shuttles to relieve pressure on astronauts caused by G-Forces
during take off. It is several times denser than regular polyurethane
foams, is temperature sensitive and it always recovers to
its original shape. It is also called slow-recovery foam.
Due to its distinctive property in relieving pressure, memory
foam has been developed into many products such as pillows,
toppers, wedges, supports, etc. It offers the following benefits
that, in combination, provide the ultimate stress and pressure-relieving
support: it has higher density and thus is more supportive
and conforms to your body more. It is temperature sensitive.
In normal temperature, it is firm; but when
you use it, it reacts to your body temperature and molds to
your shape. This way, it minimizes the pressure points, distributes
the weight more evenly and provides customized support. High
quality foam often has open cell structure that breathes
better and helps distribute the weight evenly.
There
are huge differences in quality. One of the key differences
is density. Usually, the denser the Baby Memory Foam, the
more supportive it is and the more it conforms to your body.
High density foam (e.g., 6lb/ft3) is usually made with a molding
process while low density (e.g., 3.5lb/ft3) is the result
of a foaming-and-cutting process. Durability is another important
quality aspect. Due to manufacturing differences, some lose their "slow recovery" property
over a short period of time while high quality foams never
lose their resiliency. Cell structure is also important. High
density, high quality foams usually have much smaller cells
and thus many more cells per unit volume. This helps the foam
breathe better and thus distributes weight more evenly. How
do I know which memory foam product is high quality?
A high-density
Baby Memory Foam product is heavier than other products of
the same size. Press It: If you use your hand to put pressure
on the foam, it should recover to its original shape slowly.
If the foam recovers too quickly, then the quality is probably
lower. Look at It: High quality foam usually has smaller and
denser cell structure. If you see big cells, then the foam's
quality is probably lower. Use It: If the foam loses its supportive
property and feels like regular foam after being used for
a short period of time, then its quality is low. It maintains its resiliency even after a long period
of time.
