Temperature sensitive mattress pads, pillows, and cushions help you sleep better and reduce neck and back pain.

What is temperature sensitive foam?
Temperature sensitive foam is a comfort material that was originally developed for the NASA space program. At first touch you'll know that it's like no other sleep product you've ever felt before- what we can best describe as a marshmellow-like feel. When exposed to the temperature and weight of your body it is readily compressed. Pressure is distributed evenly over the entire supported surface, forming a mold around you. When the pressure is removed, it takes several seconds to resume its shape (see the foam hand imprint illustration above).

The material used to make temperature sensitive products is also referred to as swedish foam, visco-elastic foam, tempur-pedic foam, memory foam, pressure relieving foam, slow recovery foam, and slow release foam. Temperature sensitive sleep products are marketed by many companies under a wide variety of tradenames.

Although temperature sensitive foam originates from numerous manufacturing plants, the foam with the best pressure relief properties is available from only a very select few. That is why there is such a difference in the feel between competing temperature sensitive foam products such as pillows. For instance, some are too soft, some are too firm, and some it would be just as comfortable sleeping on rocks.

Of course, choice of pillows and other sleep comfort products is entirely a personal preference. In our opinion, Memory Lite temperature sensitive foam products are a giant cut above the rest, not to mention the best value for the money. Our Memory Lite mattress is made of 100% visco-elastic foam.

Note: If you have a doctor's prescription, Medicare may pay up to $500 toward the purchase of our Memory Lite Mattress pads.

Finally! a "memory" foam pillow that actually promotes proper sleeping posture. I have tried a number of "orthopedic" pillows designed to support the neck in the proper sleeping position. The Memory Lite™ works better than any other, including the expensive Swedish Tempurpedic!

Because of its pressure- relieving properties, the Memory Lite™ mattress effectively reduces bodily pains caused by or made worse by unnatural sleeping postures. It also reduces the need to toss and turn in bed considerably. In fact, tests made at Sweden's Institution for Clinical and Physiological Research, have demonstrated that people who sleep on a visco-elastic mattress turn an average of 17 times per night, compared with the usual average of 80-100 times on a standard mattress.

The Visco-elastic mattress is recommended by over 3,500 medical doctors, doctors of chiropractic, and physical therapists in the US alone for treatment and prevention of back pain. They are also widely used in hospitals and nursing homes for the treatment and prevention of pressure sores.

The Memory Lite™ mattress comes in all standard sizes. It is 8" thick (3" of pressure relieving foam on a 5" highly resilient long-life polyurethane base), covered in a removable terry cloth zippered cover. The mattress is resistant to bacteria, mold, mildew, fungi, mite and odor causing germs.

Why You Don’t Sleep Well

         Doctors say that it’s no coincidence that people who wake up in the morning with a backache also feel as if they have not slept at all.  When a mattress doesn’t give you adequate support, some of the dozens of muscles supporting the back have to work overtime to maintain the spine’s alignment.  The Ideal mattress should cradle the spine so that it maintains the same shape as when a person with good posture stands upright.  According to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, this nightly strain (coupled with poor posture, lack of exercise and sudden stress) helps account for the periodic backaches suffered by half the population over 25 and virtually everyone over 45.

         Orthopedic Surgeons, Chiropractors, and Back Therapist agree that no single firmness level on a mattress is good for everyone. From a design standpoint, and innerspring mattress made to support a 120 pound person will not do the same for a person weighing 150 or 200 pounds. Now, new research indicate that the level of support our body needs can change, sometimes as frequently as each night. This is because the human body, the most complicated biological mechanism known to man, is made up of billions of cells in constant change. This "metabolic change" is directly affected by outside forces such as stress, weight, diet, age and exercise habits. All contribute to the body’s constantly changing requirements: one of them being the degree of support needed to sleep properly at night. Sleeping on Memory Lite™ mattresss gives you the support that you need for ultimate comfort and the best nights sleep ever; scientifically proven best back support.

Besides mattresses, Memory Lite™ is available in an assortment of pillow sizes, in seat cushions, and in a mattress pad for use over your existing mattress.
