Memory foam is made of viscoelastic polyurethane foam and it was originally developed as a treatment for astronauts to reduce the pressure on their body during weightlessness. The foam has many different uses and it is used in various mattresses, pillows, and other products. Memory foam is an excellent choice for bedding, because it is soft, cool, yet firm. Some memory foam mattress users report that memory foam gets hot at night, this is nice in the summer but not so nice when you are a naturally hot sleeper, especially if you sleep on a regular mattress. But now some memory foam mattresses come with a heating system built in. When your body is sleeping the heat from your body can cause your memory foam mattress to become hot, this is because your body cannot regulate its temperature. The heat is generated by your body to keep your blood at a constant temperature, but because you cannot control the internal temperature of your sleeping quarters some will start to feel uncomfortable. If you have a family and children then you may have children who like to crawl around in your bed or spread their own blankets. If you use a dust mite cover on your memory foam mattress then the heat generated from their bodies will not cause any problems.
To help your sleeping quarters stay cool try to use a humidifier. Humidifiers use a water vapor charge to raise the humidity level in a room. The higher the humidity level the more comfortable your air conditioner will make your home smell. But, a humidifier alone will not prevent you from feeling too hot at night or having a hard time sleeping. You do need to eliminate extra moisture in your bedroom and this can be accomplished by using a dehumidifier. These can also help with the annoying effects of having too much moisture in your bedroom. To make your memory foam mattress topper feel softer place an ice cube on top of it. This will help reduce the stiffness of the top layer of the mattress. You may need to experiment with different ice cubes until you find the right one that works for you. Many memory foam mattresses are hypoallergenic, meaning they are not made of materials that cause dust mites to flourish. It is important to be aware of what goes into the making of your mattress. Not all sofas, pillow cases, bedding, and mattress toppers are made of materials that are free of dust mites. Some manufacturers use materials that can cause serious allergic reactions. It is a good idea to check the labels on these items to ensure you know what you are buying.
An advanced version of the memory foam mattress is known as the temperature sensitive sleep system mattress topper. These products allow the heat of your body to be locked in. They work by regulating the body temperature of the user. The body heats up the material and then the heat is directed back to the user. This leads to increased comfort. Memory foam mattresses also provide pressure relief. They work to naturally relieve the pressure on your joints during your resting time. This can lead to better posture, which can help relieve neck, back, shoulder and hip pain. Pressure relief can help improve circulation to the tissues surrounding the body and reduce tired and tight muscles.
