Memory Foam Mattresses - The Future of Comfort Is Here

Have you ever experienced those annoying back pains right after waking up? And no matter what position you assume at night, the end result remains the same. Well now, you don't have to worry about waking up to the feeling of being run over by an 18 wheeler truck. Memory foam mattresses are here to make your trips to dreamland seem like an uninterrupted weekend getaway.

This type of mattress technology was originally developed in the 1970's by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) as a means of improving safety provisions within aircrafts. Initially, memory foam is a product made up of polyurethane. And through the years the technology was further enhanced with the addition of several chemicals which maximizes its viscosity (ability of the material to adjust to stress) and its density. But due to the increasing costs of production, this technology wasn't available to the consuming public until the late 1990's.

Since the turn of the millennium, this foam technology has been reproduced with continuously decreasing prices to fit the need of even the most financially cautious consumer.

But what makes memory foam mattresses so special that you'd want to get one for yourself?

Compared to traditional mattresses and adjustable beds, this new technology provides optimum comfort for absolutely anyone. No longer would you have to stick to flat mattresses that hurt your back or worry about adjusting the form of the bed when you feel like shifting to a new position. With Memory Foam, the mattress adjusts to you. Yes, you heard it right. The mattress adjusts to the contour of your body. So whatever position you want to take, the bed will fit itself to your needs.

With the miracle of memory foam technology, pillows and mattresses don't assume a single form. This technology works similar to the concept of molding clay except that it incorporates comfort as its main feature. As you lie down to rest, the memory foam mattresses would take the form of your body where pressure is often felt (the back of the head, shoulders, and your lower back) and accommodates the contours thereby relieving such pressures. This makes the technology perfect for practically anybody. Since, a consumer no longer has to worry about finding the perfect bed; instead, the bed adjusts itself to be perfect for you.

One more feature about memory foam mattresses is that you don't have to worry about it assuming a single position after molding itself, because it always reverts back to its original form ready to take on new sleeping positions on demand.
