What is the Difference Between a Memory foam Mattress and a Regular mattress?

The main difference between a memory foam mattress and a regular mattress is the type of material used in the comfort layer.

Memory Foam Mattresses

Memory foam mattresses use viscoelastic polyurethane foam as the primary comfort layer. This foam is designed to contour to the shape of the sleeper's body in response to heat and pressure, providing pressure relief and support. Memory foam has a slower response time than regular foam, allowing it to better conform to the body's curves.

Regular Foam Mattresses

Regular foam mattresses, also known as polyfoam mattresses, typically use polyurethane foam in the comfort layer. Polyfoam is more responsive and bouncy compared to memory foam. While polyfoam can provide comfort and support, it does not conform to the body in the same contouring way that memory foam does.
