Density, firmness and heat responsiveness are what make a memory foam mattress supportive and comfortable. Each foam has a unique recipe that gives it its own feel, longevity and performance. So what is the recipe of Avalon Tru-FoamŽ visco foam mattresses? Being one of the best manufactured brands on the market, there is a wealth of research done on Avalon Tru-FoamŽ mattress technology. Reading about it gives you invaluable tips for choosing a memory mattress. For example:
Memory foam density ranges from 2.6lb to 5.8 lb. (density is measured in pounds per cubic foot). Avalon Tru-FoamŽ foam used in memory mattresses is 3.8 - 5.2 lb which means that a cube of Visco material, one foot in each direction, weighs a whopping 5.2 lbs. But how does this relate to comfort and support?
In higher density foam like Avalon Tru-FoamŽ, there are billions of small, open cells (bubbles with holes in them), tightly packed together. When you lie down on a Avalon mattress, air flows slowly between the bubbles giving it time to gently cradle the natural hollows of your body, distribute your weight and relieve pressure. The ability to change firmness actually improves the support and comfort. The firmness and density of the cooler foam deeper in the bed holds you up. But increased support also comes from the foam's heat responsiveness. The visco elastic foam bed or topper softens at body temperature and makes up to 30% more body contact, thus improving weight distribution over a wider area.
