High Sun Mattress How My Memory Foam Mattress Transformed My Life | Page 3
So where does the secret of its immense
success lie?
Memory foam is made of a fascinating material called viscoelastic, which has the amazing ability to
change shape when heated. Whether asleep or awake, your body is constantly giving off heat to its
surroundings and it’s this personal heat, individual to you, which the mattress cleverly harnesses to
change its shape and mould itself to the contours of your back. The result is a personalised mattress
exactly matched to every notch in your back. It cushions those extra-sensitive (agonising) pressure
points in your back, embracing them in a perfectly gentle and soothing way. Heat then travels away
from the points of contact so that when it cools it retains its shape, ‘remembering’ your imprint. When
you first lie down you will experience a kind of sinking sensation as the mattress adjusts to your shape
and distributes your weight evenly. You will then quickly feel relaxed and a cosy sleep should soon
follow. And there you have it: instead of a restless night full of tossing, turning and rubbing of those
aching joints, the frustration turns to sheer delight and a deeply comforting and nourishing sleep.
