What is memory foam?


Memory Foam is a temperature sensitive viscoelastic material most commonly used as a comfort layer.

Visco: resistant to change of shape.
Elastic: able to return to its original shape after being forced to change.

It is capable of contouring to every pressure point on your body and is able to determine just how far to let you ?sink? into the material before completely conforming to your body. The Memory Foam technology was originally pioneered by the scientists at NASA. They came across memory foam during their trials to make a material that would allow astronauts to be more comfortable during a space launch. As a result, through additional development, it has provided consumers with a more comfortable and beneficial sleep system. The material NASA engineered, called Memory Foam, is sensitive to the heat generated by the human body and also has the ability to automatically adjust to body weight and temperature. The result is an unprecedented sleeping experience. Consumers are now, more than ever, able to get relief from aches and pains that can accumulate throughout the day that can interfere with a restful sleep and wake up feeling rejuvenated and invigorated.


What types of foams are there?

Memory Foam
Memory foam has varying grades of firmness and responds to your body's pressure and temperature. It is able to conform to the curves of the body, and offers support along the spine with no distinguishable pressure on bones and joints. As a result, circulation is improved during sleep making it easier and even preferable to sleep in the same position for hours at a time. Our customers have also noted that Memory Foam reduces the effects of tossing or turning from a sleeping partner!

Latex Foam
Talalay Latex products are the result of innovations and advancements in the creation of products that offer superb back support while simultaneously improving the sleep experience by removing allergens from the bedroom. Latex offers the comfort and support of Memory Foam with the added benefit of immediate rebound or responsiveness that is unavailable with Memory Foam products.

Polyurethane Foam
Polyurethane foam is one of the most commonly used materials in our world. The main advantage of polyurethane foam is that it allows for use of less expensive alternatives to natural latex rubber. When used in a mattress polyurethane foam provides remarkable comfort in varying firmnesses that will last for years. It can also be used in combination with other foams, such as Talalay latex and Memory Foam, providing a strong support layer when a customer uses a few inches of memory foam or latex foam at the surface of their mattress.


Will your beds and toppers help alleviate my arthritis, relieve my back pain, reduce my tossing and turning, or just help me sleep better?

Memory Foam and Latex is not a cure-all or magic potion, of course, but the vast majority of consumers have stated repeatedly that toppers, pads, mattresses and overlays have helped them with their pain or sleep problems. Many consumers have experimented with standard alternatives, such as "egg crate" pads, without much relief. It has been proven time and time again by consumers that a change in their sleep system to memory foam and latex products has permitted them to sleep longer, awaken fewer times during the night, and allowed relief from their every day aches and pains.


Will a memory foam or latex bed help me if I suffer from allergies?

Our products have been tested by outside facilities and are shown to be inherently hypoallergenic for sufferers of mold, mildew or bacterial allergies. They are also naturally resistant to dust mites.


Will my insurance cover my memory foam bed purchase?

Possibly. Your health or Medicare insurance company may be able to utilize HCPC code: E0272 (Foam Rubber Mattress). Every Insurance company determines their own durable medical equipment coverage. Check with your insurance provider for details pertaining to this subject. Complete receipts are provided for our customers to submit to their providers.
