mattress question. what’s the difference between polyurethane foam and visco memory foam.?


Visco is a foam that holds the shape: Memory foam is considered medium in firmness and responds to your body’s pressure and temperature. It conforms to the curves of the body, offering support along the spine with no discern-able pressure on bones and joints. Because of this lack of pressure, circulation is encouraged during sleep making it easier and even preferable to sleep in the same position for hours at a time. Our customers have also noted that Memory Foam also reduces the effects of tossing or turning from a sleeping partner!

The Polyurethane foam is incontrovertibly one of the most widely used materials in our modern world. Developed originally during World War II as a replacement for rubber, polyurethane foam uses rapidly grew out of the war applications they were designed for. Whether transformed into roller blade wheels, insulation, elastic fiber, cushion foam or mattress foam, polyurethane foam has single handily revolutionized a number of industries by bringing costs down and increasing durability.
