Memory foam mattress/ memory mattress are topped with a layer of temperature-sensitive visco-elastic material popularly known as memory foam because it is very slow to return to its original shape, thereby "remembering" the shape and contours of your body. Memory foam consists of billions of little air-filled cells which decompress under pressure, particularly if the pressure is accompanied by heat. Thus, when you lie down on a memory foam mattress, the foam cells closest to your body slowly release their air, creating a unique melting effect and allowing the mattress to conform to the shape of your body and when you get up, the foam cells slowly refill with air, which is why it takes a few moments for the mattress to return to its original shape.
