If you wake up in the middle of the night because you suffer from body aching, tossing and turning and restless leg syndrome, it may be time to get rid of your old bed and try something new. I am referring to beds and mattresses that contain visco foam. visco foam mattresses are known to give people the best nights sleep imaginable.
Visco foam was developed by NASA, and it was used to decrease the pressure caused by the extreme G. forces during takeoff of the space shuttles. However NASA never used disco foam in the space program, but disco foam has been adopted in many medical fields and by retail mattress manufacturers.
The reason mattress manufacturers showed interest in visco foam is because it allows the bed to elevate pressure points during sleep. Visco foam was extremely expensive when it first came out and could not be afforded by the general public. But in recent years it has become less expensive to produce and is now widely available in almost everyone’s price range.
The most common use of visco foam, is in mattresses, mattress topper’s, and pillows. It’s a really to retain heat, has allowed many people with aching bodies to fill better throughout their nights sleep, because of the added heat. They visco foam mattress tends to be quite a bit more dense than an ordinary foam mattress making it more supportive, but the same time it is a lot heavier.
With this in mind, any mattress containing visco foam will usually be more expensive than a traditional bed, however a visco elastic foam mattress will last longer than a traditional mattress viscoelastic foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals added to it that help increase its density and viscosity levels. Due to these chemicals added, new visco foam mattresses give off a distinct chemical odor that will decrease over time.
