What is Memory Foam?
Memory Foam is polyurethane based foam with open cells, meaning that air can pass into and out of tiny holes in the material. It is valued for its unique pressure reducing properties, and is currently used in countless applications, from memory foam overlays to car seats. Memory Foam responds slowly to your body temperature therefore not putting quick pressure on your face and is regarded as pressure relieving. It is also allergy resistant in that it does not make a suitable environment for dust mites (a common allergen).
