Memory foam conforms to your body's contours, allowing you to sleep in a position that relieves pressure and supports you perfectly. The visco-elastic foam mattress responds to an individual's body heat as well as the downward pressure applied to it. This provides even support to the mattress's owner. As a result, he or she does not suffer from the high-pressure areas that can occur when sleeping on sprung mattresses. This is just one of the many benefits of this type of mattress over a regular mattress.
