Comprehensive Analysis And Of Memory Foam​

Memory foam (also known as: slow rebound sponge, temperature sensitive sponge, space zero pressure, aerospace cotton, etc.) is a polyurethane foam with unique properties, including pressure dispersion, temperature sensitivity, fitting and shaping. The touch of the memory foam​​ is very soft, and when you hold it with your hand, you can feel that your palm is empty, like sand leaking out from between your fingers, and you won't feel tired even if you pinch it for a long time. So when lying on amemory foam​​pad, you will feel a gradual settling process, like being trapped in a mud pit. If the surroundings are quiet enough, you can also hear the subtle sound of the constantly flowing gas in the memory sponge; When people sit on memory foam​lumbar pads, they begin to deform continuously, and then the resistance disappears, as well as the back pain that should occur after sitting for a long time, which is difficult to detect. It was originally developed by NASA's Ames Research Center in 1966 to alleviate the immense pressure on astronauts' bodies when they leave the ground. At that time, it was used for space seat cushioning and is now widely used in furniture, medical equipment, automobiles, and other fields.

1、 Characteristics of memory foam​​

Characteristic description:

1. The memory foam slowly recovers after receiving pressure (with a duration ranging from 3 to 30 seconds), reducing rebound force and dispersing pressure

2. Sensitivity of memory foam to Temperature: Softens when heated (adapts to fit body curves), hardens when cooled (provides support)

3. Memory foam​can relieve stress, protect the spine, reduce pressure points on the body, and is suitable for people who are bedridden or sitting for a long tim

4. Breathability of memory foam: The perforated structure (high-end style) promotes air circulation and reduces stuffiness

5. Durability of memory foam: High density models (≥ 50kg/m ³) resist collapse and have a service life of about 5-10 years

2、 The scope of use of memory foam​​

1. Home bedding (largest application market)

Mattress type:

① A mattress with a thickness of 5-15cm can be used to relieve pressure on the lower back.

② Full memory cotton mattress: suitable for users who like to be wrapped, but it needs to be paired with a highly breathable substrate.

Pillows:

① Cervical pillow: conforms to the curve of the head and neck, reduces pillowing

② Side sleeping pillow: high-density version (≥ 70kg/m ³) supports the shoulders.

2. Medical and Rehabilitation

① Anti bedsore mattress

Hospital ICU and nursing home dedicated, dispersing long-term bed pressure

② Orthopedic protective gear

Lumbar support, arch pad, and pressure clothing filling layer for burn patients.

3. Automobiles and Aviation

① High end car seats

The use of seat comfort layers in luxury car models.

② First class seats on airplanes

Reduce the fatigue of long-distance flights.

4. Sports protection

① Sports insoles

Shock absorption+pressure dispersion

② Yoga mats/knee pads

Reduce joint impact, but with anti slip surface layer

5. Special industrial use

① Precision instrument packaging

Shock resistant+customized shaping (such as camera lens transport box).

② Acoustic sound insulation

Sound absorption and noise reduction (such as wall filling in recording studios).

3、 Purchase suggestions

Density selection:

Home mattress/pillow: 50-80kg/m ³

Medical/industrial use: ≥ 80kg/m³
