Visco elastic foam, also referred to as memory foam, is man made and reacts to body temperature and weight to conform and mold to the shape of your body. This is the same foam developed for NASA to provide comfortable travel for astronauts. How does visco elastic foam feel? Visco foam doesn't necessarily create a soft mattress. It molds and contours to your body, spreading your weight over your entire sleeping surface. When you turn, the foam gradually moves back to its original position. The contouring effect spreads your body weight over more of the sleeping surface and minimizes pressure points to allow for a more comfortable night's sleep. Pressure points can create discomfort and cause you to toss and turn more frequently. Visco foam reduces pressure points to give you a better night of rest. In addition, the open cell structure enables the mattress to breathe, releasing body heat and moisture to keep the sleeping surface comfortable for your sleep. What are the added benefits of visco elastic foam? Visco foam is highly resistant to bacteria, mold, mildew, mites, and other odor causing germs. Since many people have sensitivities to these allergens, visco can help improve overall health and comfort by reducing the presence of them in the bed. Visco foam also reduces motion transfer between you and your partner. When your partner moves in the night, you are not as likely to feel the movement from their side of the bed. Fewer disturbances from your partner's movement means you can sleep quieter, deeper, and without interruption. How does visco elastic foam work? Visco has microscopic memory pockets that react to temperature (body heat) and weight (your body.) The cell reaction creates the contouring and memory effect that aligns the sleeping surface to the natural curves of your body. Visco memory foam mattresses do not need to be turned. Does visco elastic foam quality vary? All reputable manufacturers produce foam products that have a density of 5lb/ft3 or higher. US-Mattress only carries high quality memory foam mattresses. Cheaper, less dense visco beds have less contouring ability and will not last as long.
Latex is natural, biodegradable foam that comes from the rubber tree predominantly found in the rain forests of South America. The material is tapped from the tree in a similar fashion as maple syrup from a maple tree. The rubber tree can then recuperate for a few weeks and be ready again to supply the natural latex to the farmers. Latex provides a good source of income for the farmers, and since the rubber tree is a renewable source of income, farmers can make more money than they would by selling the land to loggers. Every mattress made helps to acquire 8.5 acres of virgin rain forest that won't be chopped down. How does latex foam feel? Latex foam contours to your body's curves and moves with you as you move in the bed, providing continuous orthopedic support. As latex contours to your body, your weight is spread over the entire sleeping surface. This minimizes pressure points to create a more comfortable sleep. In addition, latex foam has an open cell structure that enables the mattress to breathe, releasing body heat and moisture to keep the sleeping surface comfortable. What are the added benefits of latex foam? Latex foam is naturally resistant to bacteria, mold, mildew, mites, and other odor causing germs. Since many people are sensitive to these allergens, Latex can help improve overall health comfort by reducing the presence of them in the bed. Latex also reduces motion transfer between you and your partner. When your partner moves in the night, you are not as likely to feel the movement from their side of the bed. Fewer disturbances from your partner's movement means you can sleep quieter, deeper, and without interruption. Additionally, latex mattresses do not need to be turned. How does latex foam work? Latex foam naturally contours to your body, providing proper orthopedic support that maintains spinal alignment. Latex always moves with your body, so you're always fully supported by the bed. How does latex foam vary? Natural- Latex is a natural product that comes from the rubber tree. In its natural form, it is soft and not very springy. Most manufacturers do not use all natural latex for this reason. Talalay- Naturally derived, talalay latex foam undergoes a manufacturing process that improves and enhances the capabilities to provide a superior sleep product. During the manufacturing process, synthetic and natural latexes, soaps, and rubber curing agents are mixed together in a water cooled, stainless steel mix tank to create latex foam. US-Mattress only sells latex mattresses that employ this high quality method. |
