Sleep takes up 30% of a person's life, so choosing a quality mattress is essential. The new unique Memory Foam filler competes with the usual spring blocks and coconut coir.
Peculiarities
Memory Foam material came into mass production from the space industry. Smart foam or memory foam was supposed to reduce the stress on the body of astronauts in the spacecraft. Memory Foam did not find its application and research on the innovative material continued in the civilian industry. The Swedish factory Tempur-Pedic has improved the Memory Foam material and launched the production of luxury sleep products. Memory foam or Memory Foam has many names: ortho-foam, memorix, tempur.
Characteristics
There are two types of Memory Foam:
- thermoplastic;
- viscoelastic.
The thermoplastic type is cheaper to manufacture, performs its functions at a certain temperature regime, and is used in low quality mattresses.
The viscoelastic form of Memory Foam does not lose its characteristics at any temperature regime, it is used in high-quality products.
When exposed to a person's weight and temperature, Memory Foam follows the contours of the body . The protruding parts of the body are buried in foam, providing even support to each muscle. Thus, the load on the spine, muscles, joints is relieved, circulatory delay is excluded. The effect of memorix on the human body can be described as a feeling of weightlessness, plasticine viscosity.
As soon as the effect on the Memory Foam material disappears, its original appearance is restored in 5-10 seconds. In appearance, Memorix filler can be compared to foam rubber, but Memory Foam is more viscous and pleasant to the touch.
Varieties of models
Mattresses with innovative fillers can be spring and springless. The highest quality springless mattresses, which use only memory foam, are produced by the Swedish company Tempur-Pedic. In spring mattresses, both independent springs and additional layers (coconut coir) are used. With any number of layers, the Memory Foam is on top.
Mattresses with Memory Foam material are presented in the assortment range of such brands:
- Ascona;
- Ormatek;
- Dormeo;
- "Serta";
- "Toris";
- Magniflex, etc.

Among the variety of mattresses with Memory Foam material from different manufacturers, it is necessary to pay attention to the density of the memory foam, the rigidity of the mattress itself and the quality of the cover. The density of memorix is calculated from 30 kg / m3 to 90 kg / m3. With an increase in the density of the filler, the quality of the mattress becomes better, the service life is longer and the price is higher.
Mattress hardness:
- medium;
- medium hard;
- tough.
As a rule, soft firmness of mattresses with innovative filling is not represented in the assortment range of well-known brands with a high reputation.
Submerging and enveloping the body, a mattress with Memory Foam filling does not exert any resistance, pushing effect on a person, respectively, the greatest effect of sleep and rest is achieved. Due to the properties of memory forms, the number of turns in sleep decreases, the deep sleep phase lasts longer.
Harm or benefit?
Memory Foam is a fully synthetic material: polyurethane with hydrocarbon inclusions. The structure of the material resembles open cells, which exclude the possibility of the development of pathogens. High-quality material does not cause an allergic reaction, there are no unpleasant chemical odors or an unobtrusive odor may be present, which disappears after a few days of using the product. The structure of the filler does not accumulate dust and dirt.
According to the conclusions of CertiPUR, the artificial filler foamed polyurethane with hydrocarbon impurities in the finished form is absolutely safe.
This organization tests the hazard level of volatile substances and issues a safety certificate for polyurethane foam. If the smell from a new ortho-foam mattress does not disappear after a week of use, the manufacturers may have used preservatives, impregnations and additives.
Harmful additives may include:
- formaldehyde;
- chlorofluorocarbons;
- mitlenechloride.
These substances are carcinogenic. As a rule, European and American manufacturers have abandoned the use of such additives since 2005. In the case of the use of such substances, their name is indicated on the product label.
How to choose?
Large factories producing mattresses with Memory Foam can offer a “demo version” of a mattress before buying, that is, test the mattress at home for 1-2 days and, if the product fully meets expectations, make a purchase. This service is available only for residents of megalopolises and for premium products.
The best way to buy bulky goods is through an online store . This option allows you to save time on visiting stores, compare several models of different manufacturers at the same time according to characteristics and customer reviews, and also get advice from managers by phone or online chat. Online stores that offer high quality products provide high quality, reliable and comprehensive information for buyers.
When choosing a mattress with the innovative Memory Foam material, it is possible to test the product in direct sales stores immediately before purchasing. The same stiffness of sleep products from different manufacturers gives different sensations. Additional impregnations can give off odor. The cover of the product is the closest cover to the body, so it should be made of natural fabrics and provide fixation of the sheet. This type of purchase is laborious, time-consuming, but also gives a real idea of the chosen product.
Before buying in any store, it is imperative to study the composition of the product and make sure that you have a safety certificate (CertiPUR or other organizations).
