Memory foam was originally developed in the 1960s by NASA for use in aircraft cushions to improve safety and comfort during flights. The material is made from viscoelastic polyurethane, which allows it to conform to the shape of an object and return to its original form. Over time, it transitioned from aerospace applications to consumer products, including mattresses and pillows, due to its supportive and pressure-relieving properties. Today, it is widely used in various products for enhanced comfort.

What thickness is a memory foam mattress?

The truthful answers is: "It's the thickness you are willing to pay for".

The price varies accordingly. Personal Note: If you can't afford a memory foam mattress, try a memory foam pillow. Awesome, especially if you're a "side sleeper".
