Memory Foam Mattress History, Where Did It Come From?

Memory Foam Mattress History...Astronauts, Racehorses and Bed Sores
With the little that's known about memory foam mattress history these days, it's hard to imagine that this material has only been in existence for a little over 30 years.

It's difficult to find an exact date when this foam first came into being, but memory foam mattress history is known to have been formulated during the early days of manned space flight. Most likely, memory foam mattress history began in the mid to late 1960's.

Memory Foam Mattress History -- The Beginning
I've read lots of other memory foam mattress history but I found them somewhat lacking so I did my own research and created my own memory foam mattress history review.

Memory foam mattress history began when the National Aeronautics & Space Administration, NASA, needed a material that would cushion the astronauts from the unparalleled g-forces of launch and re-entry during space missions.

In response to their request, a material was produced, that was called visco-elastic memory foam.

The whole idea of showing a picture with a hand print is that, if the material was pushing up against your body, it would immediately spring back when your hand was removed.
The other quality, of visco foam, is that it's temperature reactive. When it is heated, it becomes softer and when it is cooled, it becomes firmer.

Memory Foam Mattress History - Race Horses
Whatever the reason, this material was too expensive to be used in the form of a memory foam mattress or pillow for the average consumer.

Memory foam mattress history shows though that it was not, however, too expensive for use as an aid to recovery for multi-million dollar racehorses who had been injured or were recovering from surgery.

Memory Foam Mattress History - Bed Sores
Because the memory foam melts away from where pressure is placed on it, the body of a horse or human can lay on it without restricting the blood flow.

Blood flow is critical, to healing and recovery from surgery, so it makes sense that recovery is greatly enhanced by using a memory foam mattress.

Memory foam was, then, discovered to be a great inhibitor to bedsores.
Bedsores occur when the blood supply to the capillaries is restricted over a period of time. Bedsores are also called pressure ulcers.

Since the unique character of the foam is its ability to melt away from anywhere that pressure is applied, pressure points are diminished or eliminated.
