Visco foam mattresses: Best comfort

If your body aches after waking up, a visco foam mattress helps you to lie down feeling weightless.

<p>Mattresses made from viscoelastic foam are among the most popular foam mattresses. And for good reason. No other foam offers a comparable level of body contouring, making visco foam mattresses the first choice for healthy sleep.

<h3>Viscofoam, memory foam - the stuff of good sleep has many names

If you search online for a visco foam mattress, you will find that they are offered under different names depending on the manufacturer and brand. Mattresses made from viscoelastic foam are often also referred to as memory foam mattresses or memory foam mattresses because the highly elastic viscoelastic foam can remember the strain placed on the body. When you get out of bed in the morning, an imprint of your body remains in the mattress for a short time. This is why visco foam is also known as memory foam or shape memory foam.</p

<p>As varied as the names for visco foam are, they all refer to the same type of foam, which was originally developed in the 1960s by the NASA space agency for the seats of its pilots to absorb the enormous pressure during take-off. Today, NASA foam is preferred for the production of high-quality foam mattresses due to its outstanding properties.

Visco mattresses made from memory foam are commercially available under various names:</h3

• Visco foam mattress, visco foam mattress or visco mattress for short
• Memory foam mattress
• Memory foam mattress
• Mattress with memory effect

What is so special about a visco foam mattress

A visco foam mattress adapts perfectly to the contours of your body. The thermoelastic foam reacts to the pressure and temperature of the body to nestle softly and gently against it like a second skin. The result is a feeling of weightlessness while providing excellent pressure relief and support for the musculoskeletal system.

<p>The warmer the foam, the softer the lying comfort. With a visco mattress, the body sinks deeper into the foam than with a mattress made of cold foam or comfort foam. The foam distributes the body weight evenly so that the entire body is relieved of pressure very well. When you get out of bed, the memory foam returns to its original shape after a few minutes.

<h4>Who is a visco foam mattress suitable for?

When it comes to the best possible comfort in bed, there is no way around a visco foam mattress. The special foam distributes the body weight evenly over the entire lying surface, relieves pressure and is point-elastic, providing the body with excellent support.

<h4>Due to its special properties, a visco foam mattress is particularly suitable for people</h4

• who want the best possible sleeping comfort
• with orthopaedic problems
• with back pain or tension
• with circulatory disorders
• with spinal problems
• with nerve pain
• with joint pain
• with pressure pain
• who like to sleep a little warmer
• who sleep on their side or supine position
• with allergies or asthma, as house dust mites do not multiply in the foam

Viscofoam mattresses consist of several foam layers at the core, which interact to provide maximum support and comfort. The base material of a visco mattress consists of viscoelastic foam, also known as memory foam. The thermoelastic properties of the foam ensure that the mattress adapts individually to the body contours of the person sleeping on it. With increasing warmth, an exact mold of the body is formed in the lying surface. When you get out of bed, the foam returns to its original shape. As visco foam is a very soft material, the visco foam topper is usually combined with a supportive mattress core made of cold foam or comfort foam.

<h5>What to look out for when buying a visco foam mattress</h5

<p>Just like conventional foam mattresses, visco foam mattresses also differ in various ways. Therefore, when making your choice, pay attention to:

• the density
• the heights of the different foam layers
• the mattress height
• the cleaning and care instructions

The density provides information about the quality of a mattress. The higher the density, the better the load-bearing capacity, elasticity and durability of the mattress. The density of visco foam should be around 30. The height of the visco layer determines how softly you lie. A height of around 3 cm is recommended. The height of the supporting cold foam or comfort foam layer is decisive for the supportive effect of the mattress. A good height is around 14 cm. The total mattress height should be around 20 cm. So that you can enjoy your visco foam mattress for as long as possible, it should be easy to clean. Make sure the mattress cover is easy to remove and can be washed in the washing machine.
