Did you know that memory foam was developed by NASA? There’s an interesting story behind this unusual material.


In the 1960s, at the height of the Cold War, security at most government contractors was extremely tight. Only workers could go in or out and everything they carried was scanned, even if they were just going to lunch.

      Pressure Relief or Support?
    

  
  
  

    

    

            

                            

        




After a fruitless day of mattress hunting, you’re reading mattress web sites. Just as salespeople promised in store after store, you’re finding claims that a particular mattress will provide perfect pressure relief and perfect support. Or even that one mattress will be perfect for everyone.


Savvy Rest - pressure relief or support for the perfect organic mattress


The truth is that pressure relief and support are opposing goals.



    

            

                    
Everyone needs pressure relief and support, but what's the right balance?

      How to Choose a Pillow
    

  
  
  

    

    

            

                            

        




Necks are vulnerable. Just carrying around the weight of your head all day creates pressure in the cervical vertebrae and connective tissues. Your head is about eight percent of your body’s mass. If you work at a desk or use repetitive body motion during the day, your head and neck may not be held in an ideal position. The position of your neck during sleep should create as little strain as possible so those fatigued muscles can relax and recover. 



    

            

                    
When you add a pillow to your sleeping pose, good neck alignment is easier said than done.

Why do so many mattresses take a body impression or form a gully where you sleep?


Simple answer: cheap materials.

Most consumers are unaware of what goes into a mattress: that is, what components determine quality, longevity, and durability.
