Memory-foam-pillow

Thanks to the NASA the Memory-foam-pillow was originally developed by the NASA space program in the 1970s to ease the pressure of G-forces on astronauts during space shuttle take offs. The reason it is called Memory-foam-pillow because once the presure is off it will regain its original shape.

Memory-foam-pillow never ended up being used in the space program, however memory foam did eventually find its way into medical settings where it was used to relieve bed-bound patients suffering from pressure sores. It was also discovered that patients who slept on memory foam pillow or mattress generally woke up better rested with less pains and aches

Eventually these foam-pillows were introduced to consumers for everyday use. Today memory foam is readily available from a wide range of manufacturers and the price and quality range is just as broad.

The Benefits of a the foam pillow and fome mattress:

When you first lay down on a foam pillow or mattress it adapts to your body shape and temperature, and within a minute creates a perfectly balanced form around you.

Memory foam will support your body weight evenly, rather than having pressure focused on the shoulders, hips, and feet like a traditional mattress. The result is a unique and unprecedented sleeping experience which will have you waking up feeling rejuvenated and invigorated

It adapts to your body for the ultimate level of comfort. Memory foam is never too hard or too soft, too cool or too warm, it simply adapts to your own unique body weight, shape, and temperature.

Reduced tossing and turning. When a person is tossing and turning in bed it Memory foam is virtually silent and absorbs almost all vibrations.

There are many such foams on the market. The one I have tried and I am using (medium size) is the Tempur-Pedic pillow. I wore out two of them during the last 20 years. Because after about 8 to 10 years of use they need to be replaced. The foam crumble into small pieces.

It is my best pillow and I have a few. I even travel with it. I paraphrase this from the company advertisement. The Neck Pillow by Tempur-Pedic has a dual-lobe contoured design which supports the curves of your neck and shoulders to properly align your spine allowing for a better nights sleep http://www.HealthyBack.com

There are two other type of foam pillows I looked at. However, I didn’t tried any of them so I can’t say weather they are good or not. http://www.memoryfoamdirect.ca/ http://www.satbed.com/
