Mattresses are always commonly made with springs, foam and/or sometimes even feathers! However, perhaps way back in the past. Now there is a new and easily affordable and accessible mattress that overrides any comfort or support giving by other mattresses by a mile. Unfortunately many people are unaware or don't really understand what a memory foam mattress is or how it claims to be better and more effective.

Memory foam first originated and was created in 1966 by 'NASA' in order to try and effectively make safety cushions for aircrafts much safer. Memory foam was formed using a range of chemicals in the production of foam that would increase and decrease the amount of density within it. This resulted in an effect whereby the foam would react to heat, making it softer as temperatures got higher and firmer when temperatures became lower. This effectively meant that body heat could be the reactor that would effectively create, a reaction. This creation did not actually end up being used as part of the 'NASA' experiment and instead the method was developed giving a new use for the memory foam instead. Memory foam was then formed into mattresses and was instead used in hospitals. The memory foam mattresses gave extra comfort and support and enhanced the circulation for patience that were bed bound and unable to walk or move around a great amount of time due to various reasons. The memory foam worked in a way that it was firm and so provided support, but not too firm so as to mould into the shape of a patients body, allowing them to sleep in other various positions that they may not have been able to before due to the amount of pain. The memory foam stopped back and neck bones from seizing up and also allowed circulation to not be hindered by heavier parts of the body that may create compression against the veins. In effect they offered a fine line between support and comfort.
