What are Memory Mattresses?
Viscoelastic foam is typified by its slow recovery
after compression. When a weighted object (for example,
the human body) is positioned on viscoelastic foam,
the foam progressively conforms to the shape of
the object, and after the weight is removed, the foam
slowly reassumes its initial shape. Due to this gradual
recovery, viscoelastic foam also can be described
as "slow recovery" foam.
In addition to these key advantages, our
viscoelastic products also react to body temperature and
ambient temperatures, softening with heat and more
easily adjusting to body contours.
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). |
Some viscoelastic foam producers perform these
tests as an indication of how well the foam might act to
minimize pressure. In the healthcare area, to be labeled
as providing "pressure relief," readings must
be at 32mmHg or lower, whereas "pressure
reduction" performance is agreed to occur between
32mmHg and 50mmHg. The above charts help illustrate the
process 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
SummaryViscoelastic
foam technology represents new and exciting
developments. It is taking hold in a variety of markets
(from medical to bedding to technical applications and
more) and offers a unique cushioning alternative to
conventional and HR flexible polyurethane foams.
Its performance in specialized end-use applications has
been well received by consumers. Ongoing industry and
individual efforts are focused on improving the control
of viscoelastic foam's performance, so that more
successful applications can be developed for this unique
cushioning, pressure distribution and shock absorbing
material. |
- Viscoelastic foam is a type of open cell,
flexible polyurethane foam.
- Surface comfort and pressure distribution are
closely related to the foam's ability to
conform to body shape.
Slow recovery adds comfort
characteristics.

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