When you think of scientific innovation, mattresses probably aren't the first thing to come to mind. But when you consider it further, the transformation has been dramatic. Just a few hundred years ago, at the dawn of the industrial revolution, people began to sleep on cotton and wool, rather than horse hair and pea pods. Springs first came into use in the early 1800s, which is regarded as the second leap forward in bedding.
Several hundred years passed with little innovation to speak of, until in the 1970s, N.A.S.A. entered the scene.
Looking for a solution to the problems that excessive g-forces create for the body, they experimented with visco-elastic foam, which would mould to the contours of the astronaut’s bodies. Although they were not working on mattresses directly, their research into pressure adaptive foam laid the foundations for the new generation of Memory Foam mattresses.
Since this time there has been fierce competition to create the perfect mattress - after all, everybody needs a comfortable bed. Early Memory Foam was expensive, a testament to the time and money spent on research, as well as the cost of the raw materials. It wasn't until about ten years ago that prices started to drop, by the late nineties, Memory Foam mattresses became affordable for people other than the very wealthy.
In the last 3 years, with the growing awareness of the benefits Memory Foam, widespread popularity has meant that prices have fallen even more. You can now buy a Sleepright Memory Foam mattress for a comparable price to a sprung mattress.
