Memory Foam Really is Unique, and Has Unique Benefits
Nothing can compare to memory foam technology today in mattresses. The foam is soft and it cannot be used on its own. That is why this memory layer comes with 2" or 3" height. It still needs strong supportive layer below so the mattress is not too soft. If you already have good mattress for your bed than you should choose good memory foam mattress topper rather than the whole new mattress.
What is so unique about foam mattresses? The first and most important thing is that foam cells deform when your body presses the mattress. Each cell has its own hole with air which is spread to adjoining cells. This spreads the pressure through more cells of the memory foam - which decreases the pressure you feel in the cells of the memory foam that you are laying on.
This ability of deform allows to reduce pressure points. In other words, the mattress shapes to the human body.
But there is not only shape deform ability which makes it unique. Foam is sensitive to temperature. It means that in lower temperature mattress is harder and at higher temperature is much more softer and more conforming. It feels like melting when you lye on the mattress.
