Memory foam is made up of polyurethane, but with added chemicals which add to its density and viscosity. As a result, the foam reacts either to weight or to heat, making it the perfect foam to carefully mold around a human’s body. Because of its properties, it eliminates pressure points which are seen in most bedding. It doesn’t have springs which can poke through the textile in the long run, thus making these memory foam beds to have longer lives as compared to the usual, normal beds.

Memory foam was originally produced for the safety of astronauts when entering and exiting the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a cushion to prevent the pressure of the spacecraft’s speed and force, and reacts to the astronaut’s body heat and pressure which carefully curves around their body. This foam, when made public by NASA, where taken into account by medical facilities and made it available to those patients who lie on beds for long periods of time.
