Description
A type of Polyurethane foam, is known for its ability to contour to the body’s shape and provide excellent pressure relief. Memory foam, also known as viscoelastic foam, and was invented by researchers for NASA who were tasked with developing a more comfortable foam for test pilots and astronauts. This foam material reacts to body heat, allowing it to mold and adapt to the sleeper. Memory foam is commonly used in mattresses, pillows, and medical applications.
