Space Travel Introdces Discovery Of The Visco Memory Foam Matress

The main element found in many of the highly touted mattresses hawked on television claiming to provide the ultimate sleeping experience was developed for astronaut comfort. Visco elastic foam was invented to help reduce gravity-force pressure during spacecraft launch. The element was introduced into the construction of an astronaut flight chair to provide the necessary support reducing the effects gravity placed upon the human body during this arduous ride escaping earth’s hold upon objects within the planet’s atmosphere.

Although funded by massive government grants, research scientists usually always move discoveries in space technology to the private sector. Visco foam mattresses first appeared in the medical arena when introduced for use on hospital beds providing greater comfort for patient use. Soon the product found its way to the general public as bed manufacturers seized upon its use starting to market specialized sleep furniture heralding claims that these new space-age beds could ease a plethora of sleep-related annoyances including poor blood circulation numbness, vertebrae alignment and other factors believed to disturb chances experiencing a refreshing night’s sleep.

The word “memory” is added to the equation because the visco memory foam mattress will conform, or remember, the body’s natural weight and heat. The foam adjusts itself to the varying points where the body applies pressure to the material like hips and shoulders. People sleep in different positions applying different degrees of pressure to the mattress from different body points. Visco elastic foam works by conforming to the natural heat and weight of the body. It adjusts itself to accommodate the various pressure points, such as the shoulder and hips, which are body areas that press hardest into the bed. Traditional mattresses do not adjust when an occupant changes sleep positions, sometimes resulting in discomfort and pain. The structure of a visco memory foam mattress allows air from depressed portions of the mattress to move into adjacent areas when pressed upon, helping to mold the shape of the body providing better orthopedic support.

There are additional benefits manufacturers claim from use of a visco memory foam mattress such as the ability to offer a dust mite free environment. Due to its structure and high density make-up, a visco memory foam mattress reduces the environmental elements that mites normally find in traditional mattress construction. These creatures feed on dead skin cells accompanied by high humidity and are the cause of a variety of human ailments from allergic reactions to respiratory elements.

Early versions of visco memory foam mattresses elicited consumer complaints that the material trapped an excessive amount of heat that some manufacturers turned into a good attribute and, in fact, touted this as a product benefit. This is especially true to prospective consumers in temperate to cool northern climates where other bed accessories like electric blankets were employed. Retention of heat found in beds with visco memory foam mattresses became a selling point.

However, much research and development as of late has produced additional technologies that cut down on heat resurface retention. A widely employed technique in today’s manufacture of visco memory foam mattresses is Surface Modified Technology which provides surface grooves where air circulates beneath the bed’s sheets.

A little research will help you find the best offer of a visco memory foam mattress to help you get a great night’s sleep.
