Ultimate Guide to Memory Foam I Soak&Sleep

When searching for the perfect bedding, there are many options available. From fills to firmness, it's important to find what's right for your sleep needs. If you struggle with joint pain, or you're looking for a bit more support, then memory foam could be for you. We've outlined the benefits of our innovative memory foam collection below.

What is memory foam?

First designed and used by Nasa, memory foam is created from a polymer called polyurethane. It’s a material most commonly found in sofas, mattresses and car seats and maintains its firmness throughout the life of the product.

It works by moulding to the uniqueness of a body in response to pressure and heat, offering a cradle-like feel. By evenly distributing the sleeper’s bodyweight it offers wonderful support, and also returns to its original state once the weight or pressure has been removed.

What are the benefits of memory foam?

Its popularity is growing owing to its versatile nature, but what exactly are the benefits of sleeping on memory foam?

  • Excellent support and comfort, it actively responds to your unique body shape.
  • A great option for bed sharers as it minimises the disturbances that a sleeper may have by a restless partner. 
  • As it offers such personalised comfort, it helps relieve aches and pains by supporting the body’s natural curves.  
  • Memory foam is a synthetic material and therefore a great option for allergy sufferers. The dense structure means it naturally stops the spread of dust mites.
