Visco Elastic Foam Mattress

If it's time to replace that sagging mattress, could you be tempted to plump for a Visco Elastic Foam Mattress? Made to give the perfect support to every individual body, these mattresses promise the best sleep you've ever had.

A Visco Elastic Foam Mattress is made of a material sensitive to body weight and heat. The foam was developed by NASA to provide comfort to astronauts against g-force during take-off. It was later used in hospital mattresses and, soon after, in the home mattress market. After lying on it for a few seconds it molds into every contour of the body, providing support where you need it. The benefit of this is less pressure on joints, better circulation while sleeping and a deeper, more restful sleep.

Sleeping more comfortably prevents moving around in the night, giving you a better quality of sleep. The Visco Elastic Foam does not spring back up if the body moves, instead it slowly expands back into shape, so not disturbing either you or your partner. And on the subject of sharing the bed with a partner, if you prefer different types of mattress, the visco elastic mattress can be created with two different sleeping areas to please you both.

The Visco Elastic Foam Mattress, also known as memory foam mattress, remembers it's shape. It should always return to it's original shape, losing the need for regular turning. This unique quality also allows easy transportation – it can be rolled up for delivery making it a doddle to move it to any room in the house.

These mattress types have been popular in Europe for around 20 years and are fast catching up in the US, so there is plenty of choice when shopping for a visco elastic foam mattress. Tempur-Pedic and Sleep-Aid both come well recommended. Both are established manufacturers, producing quality beds with air ventilation systems to aid proper breathing and heat distribution throughout the mattress.
