What is a memory foam pillow?

Firstly, memory foam is a type of polyurethane foam that has been treated with chemicals in order to make it viscous and elastic. In other words, it can slowly conform to your body when pressure is applied, and then slowly regain its shape once the pressure is removed.

In memory foam, your body heat softens and moulds it to your shape. The result is remarkable support and comfort. Memory foam bounces back very slowly after pressure is removed, and will over time remember your body shape and optimal sleeping position.

What are the characteristics of memory foam?

As a rule, memory foam has a higher density than other resilient foams and a slower recovery time than standard foams. Users can benefit from this feature, especially around pressure points, as it can improve comfort and support. Memory foam mattresses change shape with the body to provide excellent comfort.

What is the difference between memory foam and regular foam?

There are deeper layers in memory foam, making it harder for heat to escape. Memory foam is typically warmer than other foams.

Sleepers generally sleep cooler on poly foams or latex foams since they lack contour and their composition limits heat dissipation.
