Memory foam is a foam designed to contour and take the shape of your body for the ultimate pressure relief. It is heat sensitive meaning it will be stiffer in the cold and softer when it is warm. Memory foam has sinking feeling when lying down, and then gets right back to its original shape when you get off.
Latex is another popular type of foam used in mattresses. It is made of a natural tree sap. Latex has a bouncier feel compared to memory foam which is more comforting. Latex is instant to bounce back to its original shape as memory foam takes some time to come back up. Latex is also one of the most resilient of foams.
Try out memory foam and latex mattresses in a store to see which one you prefer better!
