Memory Foam Pillow

Properties of a Memory Foam Pillow

A memory foam pillow, also known as a NASA foam pillow, is made from an elastic material with pressure-relieving properties. Memory foam is temperature-sensitive, which means the material becomes softer as it warms up. A memory foam pillow may therefore feel firmer in colder months than in warmer periods. Memory foam is also weight-sensitive, meaning that a memory foam pillow becomes softer when your head rests on it.

A memory foam pillow is known for its pressure-relieving effect and strong hygienic qualities. A memory foam pillow is mould-resistant and antibacterial, which makes the pillow ideal for people with allergy sensitivities. A memory foam pillow reduces pressure on the skin and underlying muscles and helps minimise strain on muscles and joints. This can offer relief for people with muscle pain, joint pain and rheumatic complaints.

Different Types of Memory Foam Pillows

There are different types of memory foam pillows available, with the main differences found in the shape of the pillow. There are ‘regular’ models that resemble classic box pillows and point pillows. There are also memory foam pillows with special shapes, such as wave-shaped models or ‘butterfly’ pillows. Going travelling? A memory foam travel pillow can be the perfect solution. Thanks to the flexible material, memory foam pillows can easily be rolled up and carried compactly.

Memory foam pillows are also available in different heights and firmness levels. Depending on your personal preferences and sleeping position, there is a memory foam pillow to suit every situation.

What is the difference between a memory foam pillow and a cold foam pillow?

A memory foam pillow, also known as a viscoelastic pillow, adapts to the contours of your head and neck, creating a feeling of “sinking into” or being gently “hugged” by the pillow. This is due to its pressure-relieving properties and its response to body heat, allowing it to retain its moulded shape until the pressure is removed. One additional characteristic is that the material tends to retain heat because of its density.

By contrast, a cold foam pillow is made from a resilient foam with an open-cell structure. It offers good support and elasticity while still feeling comfortable and airy. Cold foam pillows generally provide better air circulation and heat dissipation, creating a fresher sleep surface.

When choosing between a pillow made from memory foam or cold foam, it is important to carefully consider your personal preferences, sleeping position, desired support and need for temperature regulation.

The Benefits of a Memory Foam Pillow

A memory foam pillow offers an exceptional sleeping experience thanks to its unique properties. It responds to body heat and weight, allowing it to adapt perfectly to the contours of your head and neck. This can provide outstanding pressure relief and help ease neck and shoulder discomfort. It also offers excellent support for the natural curve of the neck and spine, helping to reduce tension and stiffness in the muscles.

A memory foam pillow has the ability to retain its shape and slowly return to its original form once the pressure is removed, which is why it is also known as memory foam.

Another advantage is the motion isolation that memory foam provides. It absorbs movement, which helps minimise the transfer of movement from your partner during sleep. This results in a more undisturbed night’s sleep, especially if you are sensitive to movement in bed.

Memory foam pillows are available in different models, so there is a suitable memory foam pillow for every situation.

How long does a memory foam pillow last?
A memory foam pillow has an average lifespan of 2 to 3 years. Although a pillow may last longer, it is generally recommended for hygiene reasons to replace a memory foam pillow after 3 years.
