What is Memory Foam?

Memory foam, or polyurethane foam, can be either high density or low density. Although originally it was developed for NASA in 1966, the most interesting feature of memory foam for people shopping for pillows is their ability to take the shape of whatever is put on them (hand, head or body) and then completely return to the original shape once the pressure is taken away.

When it comes to pillows manufacturers always try to improve this recovery ability so that it regains its original shape as fast as possible. Those pillows which are able to reshape the quickest are perceived to be of better quality and usually carry a higher price. But when you are shopping for one it would be better that you focus on the robustness rather than the speed of reshaping because you could have a pillow which shapes fast but will lose its strength in some months or few years, while some other pillows could perhaps be less technologically advanced but more robust to keep for some years or more.
