Memory foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing its density. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Depending on the chemicals used and its overall density, it is firmer in cooler temperatures and softer in warmer environments.

Higher density memory foam reacts to body heat which allows it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes. Lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and will mould more quickly to the shape of the body.

The example often used to demonstrate its properties is that a hand pressed into the foam and then removed will leave a clear impression in the foam. Memory foam was initially too expensive for general use, but in recent years it has become cheaper to produce and is now widely available.

It’s most common domestic applications are mattresses, pillows and mattress toppers (also known as mattress pads). It remains useful in medical-related uses, such as wheelchair seat cushions, hospital bed pillows, and padding for persons suffering long-term pain or postural problems; for example, a memory foam cervical pillow may alleviate chronic neck pain. Its heat-retaining properties are also helpful to some pain sufferers, who find the added warmth helps alleviate pain.

Memory foams are also used for the production of dog beds such as the memory foam dog beds. Just as the humans use the memory foam for comfort and medical related uses, memory foam dog beds are also used for dogs to feel comfortable and for dog that suffers an illness.
