Many people have horror stories of waking up or being up all night because of aches and pains associated with their uncomfortable mattress.
Can you identify with these peoples stories? Couple number one - My husband does not turn from one side to the other when he sleeps.
Rather he flops uncontrollably from side to side.
It feels like a tidal wave going on in the bed.
All of that commotion is leaving me with massive migraines.
When I get up in the morning I am exhausted.
Couple number two - This couple are side sleepers.
Their uncomfortable mattress has them waking up hurting all over.
They toss and turn.
When one falls asleep and finally gets comfortable the other one is fidgeting around on their side of the bed.
They finally get comfortable and go to sleep only to have awakened the other person with all of their movement.
All of this repositioning and flip-flopping is causing them neck and shoulder aches as well as stiff backs night after night.
Couple number three - This husband is tired of hearing his wife complain about her inability to sleep.
She suffers from a bad back and sciatica.
Her old worn out mattress is not helping her cause any.
The pain from her sciatica keeps her awake most nights.
As a result, she wakes up sore and cranky.
All of these people have the same problem.
They can't sleep or wake up from sleep because of their uncomfortable mattress.
What is the answer? Well, a lot of people are finding comfort by sleeping on memory foam mattresses.
Memory foam is made from polyurethane.
It is firmer in cool temperatures and softer when warm.
Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat, which allows it to mold itself to the shape of a warm body.
On the other hand, lower density memory foam is pressure sensitive and will mold more quickly to the shape of the body.
What is the history of memory foam? Memory foam was originally developed by NASA to decrease the high pressure caused by the excessive g-force during the take off of the space shuttle.
It was never used in the space program; however, it has been used by patients who lie in bed on firm mattresses for long periods of time without regularly moving.
Such inactivity causes the blood not to flow properly.
As a result patients would get bed sores or gangrene.
With the advent of memory foam mattresses this has helped to decrease the number of people who have to suffer such afflictions.
Memory foam has helped to dramatically improve sleep and ease aches and pains.
Although memory foam was first developed by NASA, it is now used by mainstream consumers.
This miracle foam conforms to your body to reduce pressure points.
This innovation has become the perfect sleeping surface for just about anyone with sleep difficulties.
