Benefits of a Memory Foam Mattress

	Benefits of a Memory Foam Mattress
	In Sweden, a doctor came up with the wonderful idea of using memory foam mattress for patients with back pain problems. The idea was that since memory foam mattresses conform themselves to the sleepers body, without creating pressure point resistance, then they would work wonders on people with similarly related problems, such as pressure sores. Over time, different kinds of memory foam were created and innovators lept at the opportunity to defend a new and revolutionary way of getting a truly good night’s sleep. Memory foam mattresses were divided between technologies and then re-mantled among the various different mattress sciences. Memory foam works best when layered over a hard surface at approximately 2” – 3” weighing around 4lbs. But why the name, memory foam? The mattress does not have a memory per-say, but rather cells that deform when under load. Different from a spring back kind of mattress where all points of the mattress are always trying to find there way back to point zero resistance, memory foam actually deforms each cell, by smashing it and evacuating the air, dislodging it into other cells. This makes the foam more difficult to reach point zero again since the process of deforming literally creates a vacuum. In this way, the memory foam mattress will remain in the position the load has determined every time the slumbering individual has just awoken from a dream, moves position and goes back into the dream world. It really helps the sleeper get a more comfortable night’s sleep and it induces more powerful dreams, since memory foam actually creates the support necessary for the determined load, without favoring any specific pressure point. As its like a big sponge, the air forced out and throughout the surrounding cells, is forced back in when the load is removed, but over a slower period of time so that, once again no pressure point is favored over any other.
