Gel memory foam is one of three types of memory foam mattresses. Memory foam beds have two core components: polyurethane memory foam layer and a polyurethane foam core layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The nature of memory foam materials allows it to resist deformation over long periods of time while still providing comfort and cushioning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gel memory foam mattresses are one of the most popular products on the market. There are a number of reasons why a gel memory foam mattress is probably a good choice for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article will address the five great benefits of a gel memory foam mattress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  2. Motion Transfer<\/a> Resistance <\/strong><\/li>
  3. Unique Comfort <\/strong><\/li>

  5. Support Allergy-Friendly.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Gel memory foam mattresses are a variation on the traditional memory foam. The mattress contains memory foam, but it also contains gel beads or liquid that are especially designed to wick heat away from your body as you sleep through the night, thus providing a cooler surface on which to sleep than traditional memory foam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Memory foam<\/a> was first created in the 1970s by NASA and was used as padding for seats for helmets due to its absorbency and softness. The material had the unique ability to conform to the shape of whatever was applying pressure to it. Research continued and improvements were steadily being made on the material. Charles Yost, the creator of the original memory foam, developed the gel-infused foam in 2006.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Traditional and Latex Foam are the other two types of memory foam mattresses<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Gel-infused mattresses are popular because of their comfort and breathability. By contrast, many people complain that plain memory foam mattresses are too hot<\/a>, or that they create a stuck feeling because of the way they shape around you. Here are five of the most popular benefits of a gel memory foam mattress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Pressure Relief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Gel memory foam gently responds to your body’s weight<\/a> and relieves pressure points. Most of us are side sleepers<\/a>, and it’s likely we experience backaches and pains that are not easy to get rid of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The support of gel memory foam helps to keep your spine properly aligned while you sleep, and this reduces backaches and pain. By relieving pressure on the body, memory foam often aids breathing, reduces pain, and can make sleeping more comfortable for people with certain ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Motion Transfer Resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    One of the unique benefits of a gel memory foam mattress is its resistance to motion transfer. Motion transfer is that uncomfortable feeling of disturbance when one person in the bed gets in and out. Gel memory foam makes it possible for the significant other to move accordingly without causing that disturbance<\/a>. So, if your partner tosses and turns during the night, you’ll still be able to sleep soundly without being disturbed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Unique Comfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The nature of memory foam materials allows it to resist deformation over long periods of time while still providing comfort and cushioning. This gives it a plush feel. The mattress molds to your body to provide custom support where you need it most, and it keeps you from sinking too far into your mattress. With comfort comes good sleep, and with good sleep comes a great day ahead!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Temperature-Control Support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    While the gel memory foam is similar to the traditional memory foam, the gel that is infused into the memory foam acts like a cooler<\/a> that helps to keep the body temperature low. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In other words, the gel is a coolant that regulates the body temperature, and can in turn allow a person to enjoy a healthy and rejuvenating sleep. This can help people with conditions that increase their body temperature, which might lead to night sweats. Conditions and medications that can cause night sweats include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
