Memory Foam Air Mattress
This kind of mattress is built using memory foam. Memory foam, originally developed by NASA in the 1970’s only became commonplace during the 1990s. Since then, however, memory foam has become the latest flavor of the day in the mattress industry. With every year you see more and more companies are selling memory foam, and it is very difficult for even those of us in the industry to keep up with all the new memory foam products coming out.
Memory Foam is made from polyurethane with additional chemicals that add to its viscosity level, thereby increasing the density of the foam. It is often referred to as visco-elastic polyurethane foam. Depending on the chemicals used and the overall density of the foam, it can be firmer in cooler temperatures and softer in warmer environments.

Memory foam was engineered to spread pressure and release the pressure points from the weight of the person or thing. Higher density memory foam will react with body heat and allow it to mould itself to the shape of a warm body within a few minutes. However, a lower density memory foam is pressure-sensitive and will mould more quickly to the shape of the body.
In recent years visco-elastic memory foam has become cheaper to produce and is now widely available for the home. The average online price for a memory foam mattress is between $700-$3000 on average. The first factor, size, the second will depend on the name brand and warranties associated with the mattresses. Some offer free delivery, others offer free frames, pillows, etc. Many memory foam systems are the same. The only differences are that certain firms find new designs or technologies to include with their product that set them apart.
A memory foam mattress is usually denser than an ordinary foam mattress. This makes it more supportive, but also heavier. It is often seen as a good compromise between the comfort of a soft mattress and the supportiveness of a firm one.
