What is Visco elastic foam?
Visco elastic foam is a material developed for bodily support during sleep. Its effectiveness is due to its unique ability to reduce pressure, provide comfortable support, and ease pain caused by prolonged stiffness. Most visco elastic foam today can be found at furniture retailers, since it is used in mattress overlays, mattress pads, and pillows. Also known as NASA memory foam, visco elastic foam was first invented for space programs in the 1970s, in order to reduce pressure points experienced by astronauts. The G-forces generated during lift off caused uncomfortable sensations for astronauts in their flight chairs, and visco elastic foam was able to furnish this needed orthopedic support. Years later, visco elastic foam was adapted by the medical field for hospital beds, resulting in better physical comfort for patients. It was then that the material was sold to the general public for use in homes, and became popular to the point that visco elastic foam products are utilized worldwi
Here is some information on Visco Elastic Foam, and its benefits, to help familiarize you with our products. Visco-Elastic Memory Foam is a very unique, temperature-sensitive, open-cell foam that continuously molds and adjusts to the shape of your body. It was originally developed by NASA in the 1960’s to absorb the g-forces that astronauts experience during take-off and re-entry. It was designed to provide the perfect amount of support for extended periods of time by sensing the body weight and temperature of the astronaut and continually conforming to his or her shape. Continuously reacting to the weight and body temperature of the user, it dramatically minimizes pressure points. This results in the reduction of pain and discomfort associated with disruptive sleep. SUPERIOR COMFORT AND SUPPORT Even distribution of body parts during sleep promotes healthy circulation of blood and prevents muscle aches and cramps. The special properties of Visco allow the foam to continually adjust to
