Visco-elastic memory foam is a direct result of space-age technology. Developed during the 1960’s for NASA this product was used to cushion and deflect the tremendous effects of gravitational pull experienced by our astronauts during take-off and re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere. By way of its great success with NASA, the foam began being used to cushion, protect and comfort critically ill individuals in hospital intensive care units. It also provided outstanding healing benefits and comfort to bed ridden individuals in hospital burn centers. As its fame grew, other industries began using visco-elastic foam in car seats, cushions and a wide variety of products. Soon customers, who experienced visco-elastic foam in hospital beds and other sources, began demanding this product for their own use in sleep products and the rest is history! 

Unlike "conventional foam" with its quick recovery, or bouncy feel, visco-elastic slowly and automatically adjusts to your body weight and temperature. In addition to the slow, conforming response, visco-elastic foam offers complete, luxurious and stress free support. Visco-elastic foam accommodates anybody anomalies or spinal irregularities, making it a must for those who suffer with scoliosis, arthritis and its resulting bone deformities, and many other situations that make sleeping on a conventional innerspring mattress extremely uncomfortable and often impossible!

HR Foam or High Resiliency foam is a special kind of foam used in mattresses. Unlike PU or any other kinds of foam, it has more resiliency, meaning the ability to bounce back up. For instance memory foam tends to stay depressed, when you press it giving comfort and your body or head actually sinks into the memory foam. Whereas, in HR foam, the mattress tends to regain its shape because of its bounce inbuilt back property, which determines its resiliency factor.
A HR foam mattress is a different experience from a foam mattress mainly because of its form restoration ability.

Rebounded Foam. 

Open cell foam that is made from shredded pieces of foam, which are then glued together, forming one solid piece of foam. Rebounded foam is very dense and provides the most solid, firm support base. Scrap foam of various density foams is shredded into small pieces and placed into a processing unit with a chemical adhesive. The mixture is pressurized and injected with steam to form a large foam cylinder or block. This material is then "peeled" into the proper thicknesses for Mattresses,   cushion and other industrial products use. The use of various types (some times of different colors) gives bonded foam its unique "marbled" look. 

The fact that "shredded" foam is used in bonded foam production should not be considered a negative. In actuality, some grades of bonded cushion are considered to be among the highest quality and best performing material in the bedding and mattress industry. In recent times Rebounded foam have significantly replaced the Coir Sheets in the mattress industry as a great alternative by serving better comfort for orthopedic relief with a promise of much more longevity. Good rebounded foam should be between 080D to 110D.

Choosing a mattress type is as much about comfort as it is quality. A thicker, sturdier mattress will have more give and result in a softer feel. Some materials draw heat away from the body, making for a cooler sleep experience. Other mattresses may come with a built-in mattress top for an additional quilted layer. With no shortage of types and sizes to choose from, read on to find one that suits your personal preference.

A coir mattress is typically made similarly to other synthetic core mattresses. Coir mattresses will usually have a layer of foam in the center, surrounded by layers of coir fibers on top and bottom, and then finished with traditional padded cotton insulating layers.

Foam

Basic foam mattresses offer a cloud-like sleep experience. They avoid the visco-elastic materials used in memory foam, so they’re more lightweight and affordable. You’ll still “sink into” a foam mattress, but it doesn’t respond to weight and pressure the same way memory foam does.
