Q. What is the difference between Memory foam and ordinary foam?
A. Memory foam is Temperature sensitive. It feels firm when it is cold and soft when it is warm.  Ordinary Polyurethane foam does not have the ability to respond to temperature. It feels the same in a warm or cold environment.  Memory foam also has pressure-relieving properties. If you push your hand into its surface it will leave an impression for several seconds after you remove your hand. This ability to remember gives rise to the name "Memory foam".

Q. Why is Memory foam so special and how will it benefit me?
A. Memory foam is a unique material that has the ability to react to heat. It also has amazing pressure relieving properties. Originally developed in conjunction with the NASA space program to protect astronauts from the harmful effects of G-forces. It wasn't long before Medical science recognized memory foams potential for relieving the pressures created by the human body in its relaxed state. It is now used in hospitals throughout the world.
By sleeping on a memory foam surface you are giving yourself the best possible chance of a good nights sleep. The memory foam will react to your unique body shape and temperature, cradling your body and providing support where you most need it. Very little upward force means you don’t need to toss and turn as much during the night to get comfortable. Less pressure on your body means improved circulation, reduced pressure points and a relaxing night’s sleep. Memory foam can reduce your need to turn during the night.

Q. Isn’t it medically better to sleep on a firm bed?
A. In past years it had been determined that the worst sleeping surface was a soft, sagging bed. Therefore, medical experts began advocating the use of firm mattresses. However, while the firmness provides necessary support, it also causes increased pressure points. It is for this reason that better manufacturers began developing highly adjustable sleeping systems. But, the only sleeping system that truly adjusts to the human form is the Memory foam Mattress. Not a ‘soft’ or ‘firm’ mattress, a Memory foam mattress is actually a perfectly supporting sleeping system that relies on the principles of flotation to eliminate pressure points and combines with other common options such as heating, lumbar and motion systems to maximize comfort and relaxation. Sleeping on firm spring mattresses is now recommended by fewer and fewer medical experts.

Q. What if I can’t sleep on my new mattress?
A. All new mattresses take a while to get used to. However your body will soon adjust. It is surprising how slight changes in sleeping surface can affect your sleep. A smell of newness may affect you for a few days; even a slight difference in height may disrupt your sleeping pattern. These teething troubles are present no matter what new mattress you buy, foam or sprung. They will fade over time.

Q. Is memory foam hygienic to sleep on?
A. Memory foam is sanitized this means that it is anti-microbial and dust-mite preventative. This makes memory foam ideal for people with allergies.

Q. Will a Memory foam mattress cure my back problem?
A. If you suffer from back trouble or circulation problems then a memory foam mattress will certainly be a great help. By giving your body the support it needs during the night you should wake feeling refreshed. By reducing the need to turn during the night your back will have time to relax.

Chronic short-term back trouble caused by muscle strain can make turning over during the night agony. Memory foam mattresses have given back sufferers welcome relief.

Q. Why do Memory foam mattresses vary so much in price?
A. There are many reasons for this. One of the major factor is the catalyst there are used in the foam to derive the perfect properties are very expensive. So far we also do not have any Indian company who can supply chemicals for Memory foam.
Some companies offer memory foam mattresses at an attractive price but cut back on essentials to keep their prices down and their profits up.  Check that the covering fabric is a "two way" stretch fabric allowing the foam to move and is made substantially enough to stand up to the wear that it will get over the years. Can the cover be removed for cleaning if needed?  Is there an adequate depth of high-density memory foam on the mattress? A mattress can still be classed as a memory foam mattress even if it has a very thin layer of memory foam on the top. Check the depth of memory foam used before comparing and buying.
