Visco Memory Foam is the revolutionary Open Cell Foam developed in 1970 as part of a research project initiated by NASA. The foam was engineered to relieve astronauts of the pressure generated by g-forces during lift off. NASA's challenge was to develop a material that would provide support, and cushion and prevent the creation of pressure points.
These scientists were successful in creating the first ever visco, elastic polyurethane foam. Its properties reduce the effects of g-forces by conforming to the shape of the astronaut's body, and acts as a full-body shock absorber. This unique new foam returned to its original state once pressure was removed. Visco memory foam is temperature sensitive and pressure relieving. The foam softens as it absorbs body heat, distributes weight evenly and quickly adapts to any movements of the body. Once introduced to the public, visco memory foam naturally became the perfect material for mattresses, pillows, cushions, etc.
The unique properties of visco foam continually adjust and molds to the contours of the body. As it reacts to the weight and body temperature of the user, it significantly minimizes pressure points by providing consistent, even, support thereby reducing tossing and turning, which aids in improving circulation, and noticeably reducing pain and discomfort associated with causing disruptive sleep.
SleepScience has taken visco memory foam to a new level of comfort and support. SleepScience's Advanced Technology Comfort Systems are constructed to provide the perfect combination of density and softness. In addition, SleepScience has patented the Support Edge Technology. This patented technology supports and stabilizes the complete sleeping surface. Support Edge Technology prevents sagging and extends the life of the mattress by providing support and stability when sitting on the edge of the bed. A SleepScience mattress is configured to provide you with the most comfortable sleeping surface you can buy:
- 100% pure visco memory foam
- Support Edge Technology
- A top layer of premium memory foam provides pressure relieving comfort.
- An additional layer is made up of an Air Barrier Flow System to provide air circulation
- These top layers are supported by the ultimate base foam
- The entire mattress is covered in Bamboo or Cashmere for unsurpassed luxury.
SleepScience mattresses are made with foam densities between 5.0-5.5 lbs. It is our belief that these densities provide optimal sleeping comfort.
