(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 24, 2015 ) CHEYENNE, WY -- Back in the 1960 NASA had no idea that their latest invention would be present today in millions of homes from millions of places. All they wanted to do was to create a new material used to provide increased protection and cushioning for their pilots when they stumbled upon what is now known as "memory foam" material, with extensive applications in pillows, mattresses, toppers and blankets. Once more, this proved to be another invention with extensive applicability unforeseen by its creators.
The hefty price tag of raw material kept the memory foam away from commercial use for many years before first being introduced into the medical area. Bedridden patients were among the first to benefit from the memory foam that dramatically reduced pressure building up in regions of the body from the lack of movement, necessary for body circulation. Being temperature sensitive, the memory foam pillow could mould to the head shape and weight, which helped relieve pressure points and equally distribute the weight on the entire surface.
As the polyurethane raw material become more affordable, the invention grew in popularity and found its way into home beds, relieving back, shoulder and neck pain an improving the quality of rest at the same time. Over time, companies developed various sizes, shapes, and textures to accommodate for numerous needs and requirements.
"Smart people from NASA invented memory foam pillows decades ago, and smarter people from today are able to enjoy all of their benefits", explained Adrian Iordache, co-founder and CEO of SmarterRest. "There are good and there are better options when it comes to choosing a memory foam pillow, and things such as density or hardness are vital", he concluded.
A remarkable number of sleep journals and magazines have examined the benefits of memory foam versus standard pillows, and have also delved into the design and characteristics that users found to be most important in the memory foam pillows. The only aspect in which standard pillows are still leading is the softness, but that is intrinsically linked to the pillows from childhood, which the mind perceives to be the most restful. In all the other categories, including comfort, support and durability, the standard pillow stands no chance in front of its competition.
However, deciding between one memory foam pillow or another is not as easy, but there are certainly some attributes that should not be overlooked, one of the most important being the ability to maintain a cool head during sleep, especially since it was one of the major inconveniences that first generation of memory foam pillows encountered. As a result, a deeper and more profound state of sleep can be achieved, as the tossing and turning around is greatly minimized. Another essential feature is, of course, the shape, and surveys showed that people are more likely to choose an identical or similar shape to their standard pillow, in order to ensure they will adjust to it, which to some, may be true. Unlike standard shape, the contoured version aims to give gentle cushioning and cradle the head at the right angle, positioning the body in the most natural position for sleep. One other vital element to keep in mind is the overall firmness of the pillow, which not only determines the overall feeling and amount of rest, but also the rate and method used for contouring to the head.
