NASA developed visco-elastic (also known as memory foam) in the 1960’s in an attempt to reduce the effects of G-Forces on astronauts during lift off. Today, many medical institutions endorse its unique pressure-reducing properties, which assist and improve circulation and help to prevent or treat pressure sores. Now everybody can benefit from using mattresses and pillows made from this unique material.
How does a memory foam mattress work?
Microscopic memory pockets react to body heat and weight. This allows the foam to mould to your body’s contours maintaining correct alignment of the spine.
Ultimate 'pressure relief' is achieved by evenly distributing weight and pressure due to the whole body coming into contact with the mattress.
The open cell structure allows air to flow freely, which helps to maintain a constant mattress temperature.
Visco memory foam is breathable, non-irritating and assists in the dissipation of moisture away from your body, ensuring the most comfortable sleep possible.
A visco mattress needs no turning.

A memory foam mattress helps to prevent bed sores
It has been proven that using the memory foam mattress causes a significant reduction in body movement and can reduce restlessness by 80%. The common twisting and turning that seriously disturbs sleep is reduced as the mattress gently cradles the body in the correct position. Sleep becomes calmer and more relaxed, and a restful night's sleep is achieved.
