MEMORY FOAM CONTINENTAL SINGLE COMBI 2 MATTRESS 90x200

What are Memory Mattresses?

Visco-elastic foam is typified by its slow recovery after compression. When a weighted object (for example, the human body) is positioned on Visco-elastic foam, the foam progressively conforms to the shape of the object, and after the weight is removed, the foam slowly Visco-elastic its initial shape. Due to this gradual recovery, Visco-elastic foam also can be described as "slow recovery" foam.

In addition to these key advantages, our Visco-elastic products also react to body temperature and ambient temperatures, softening with heat and more
easily adjusting to body contours.

Benefits & Applications

Visco-elastic foam's unique physical characteristics have led to its popularity in the bedding and medical industries. Due to its conforming aspect, Visco-elastic material makes for a comfortable yet supportive mattress, and its low resilience works well in bed pillows. People with impaired mobility, confined to wheelchairs or hospital beds (especially burn victims) can benefit from the foam's capacity to redistribute weight and surface pressure, potentially reducing decubitus ulcers (bed sores) caused by aggravated pressure between the skin and bony areas of the body such as beneath heels, hips, elbows and the back of the head. If pressure is not relieved through body movement or technology, such as a viscoelastic foam surface, blood vessels may compress, inhibiting circulation and possibly irritating the skin tissue

Pressure Reduction and Pressure Relief

Because viscoelastic foam can closely conform to the shape of the human body, it can efficiently distribute pressure over the whole surface.

Pressure-mapping equipment is often used to calculate the degree of weight distribution. During the mapping procedure, computer programs monitor pressure. The body's impression is graphed to show which areas endure the most pressure (namely the shoulder blades, posterior region, head, heels, calves, and elbows).

The above charts help illustrate and show some typical pressure readings for viscoelastic foam. When readings made on viscoelastic products are compared to those of conventional foam and other common cushioning surfaces, the pressure differences are notable

Summary

1. Viscoelastic foam is a type of open cell, flexible polyurethane foam.
    

2. Surface comfort and pressure distribution are closely related to the foam's ability to conform to body shape.
    

3. Slow recovery adds comfort characteristics.
    

4. Viscoelastic foam firmness, support and height recovery rate are often affected by temperature and humidity.

5. You can use an electric blanket without damaging the visco elastic material

6. Our mattresses are suitable to use with any bed base including slatted beds

7. Our Visco elastic mattress is perfectly suited for use with any adjustable electric bed.
