Visco Elastic Foam Mattress

Sleeping On A Visco Elastic Foam Mattress Is Like Laying On A Cloud

Visco elastic foam is an open cell foam which assists in conforming to the body's shape, by supporting it in areas where pressure exists. It is a high density foam that has a gel-like feel. Viscoelastic foam is the "memory" foam originally created by NASA, primarily to assist astronauts during exit and reentry from space.

A visco elastic foam mattress will conform to the contours of your body, supporting your joints, and keeping your spine in perfect alignment. This particular kind of foam is also a hypoallergenic material. Even if a sleeper has any kind of allergies, to dust in particular, he or she can forget about them since memory foam is not only antimicrobial, but also resistant to dust!

Viscoelastic foam is commonly referred to as having memory foam cells. It is produced in a number of densities. For use in a pillow of any preferred embodiment, a foam with a density from about 2 to 5.5 pounds is best, while a density from about 2.5 to 4.5 pounds is more preferable and a density of around 3 pounds is the most preferred. Visco elastic foam is made from polyurethane, however this particular foam has a different cell structure to other known foams. It is an open-celled material that is both temperature and weight sensitive. Memory foam was initially a part of a scientific venture, and it has now reached the common man's household.

Mattresses of foamed plastic material consist of a smooth plastic mass that is foamed. This material can adapt very well to the body’s shape. Visco elastic foam mattresses will generally have up to 800 coils or more, but you can get a very good mattress with about 375-400 coils for a queen-size mattress.

Tempur-Pedic introduced it in hospitals and observed that its users had a more comfortable sleep. SleepAid's memory foam mattress is able to conform to any body shape or size, even the hard to reach lumbar area of your back. By absorbing and evenly distributing your body weight over the entire surface, it is able to virtually eliminate the pressure points that cause you to toss and turn.

Sleep comfort can be correlated with how pressure varies along the body during sleep. If the pressure changes rapidly with many individual pressure points (like sleeping on gravel, or that one spring that pokes out of the mattress), we'll be very uncomfortable. Sleeping on the floor is also considered an option by many people, but is not advisable. The surface of the floor is very hard and you may find it extremely difficult while lying down and getting up from the floor, which may increase the back pain.

Sleeping on a visco elastic foam mattress is often compared to sleeping on a cloud by many manufacturers. It is recommended for those who have back problems, arthritis and other bone and joint difficulties. Sleep Aid uses the highest quality materials in all of their products. All Sleep Aid memory foam is produced in America in the most advanced foam manufacturing plant in the world.

Sleeping on a viscoelastic memory foam mattress will make words like "backaches," "neck strain," "tiredness," and similar kinds of words simply disappear from your dictionary.
