Our Science: Learn More About SleepJoy.com, Visco-Fresh Memory Foam & Memory Foam Mattress Toppers

Memory foam was originally developed by NASA in the 1970s. Although it may never have made it to the moon, some enterprising thinkers began to think it could benefit the rest of us while we sleep.

Tempurpedic tinkered with the formula to come up with a memory foam mattress that could conform to an individual’s body for a more comfortable night’s rest. They introduced their product almost 20 years ago, and amazingly, not much has changed since.

Ordinary Memory Foam
Traditional memory foam is renowned for its comfort. Once your body heat warms it up, the foam mattress molds to your unique curves, cradling you in personalized comfort. It also relieves pressure points, taking stress off your shoulders and hips.

The drawbacks of ordinary memory foam mattresses? When they arrive they have a distinct chemical odor that takes a few days to go away, and traditional visco elastic memory foam mattresses have a tendency to trap body heat, leading to a too-warm sleeping surface.

ViscoFresh Memory Foam
SleepJoy has taken memory foam to the next level with its unique ViscoFresh foam. This next-generation innovation still has the body-hugging comfort and pressure relief of ordinary memory foam, but through an open-celled, breathable formula it eliminates the problems of odor and heat.

A unique green tea additive naturally removes the “memory foam smell” and replaces it with a refreshing, minty fragrance that’s actually pleasant to sleep with.

ViscoFresh is 5 times more breathable than ordinary memory foam mattresses, which allows air to circulate more freely. This keeps the surface of the Visco mattress, foam mattress topper topper or memory foam pillow comfortably cool through the night.

ViscoFresh Latex
Like all memory foams, ViscoFresh memory foam is too cushiony to offer a lot of support (yes, it takes pressure off your body, but it doesn’t really support it). If you like a firmer, more supportive sleeping surface, pure ViscoFresh Latex won’t be comfortable to you (a common complaint is that users feel as if they are sinking in to the memory foam mattress or mattress topper pad). ViscoFresh Latex combines latex with our ViscoFresh memory foam to create plush, medium and firm sleeping surfaces that add a level of support to enhance your comfort. Whichever ViscoFresh Latex option you choose, you’ll receive all the comfort and pressure relief that memory foam offers plus the added support of latex.

Just like ViscoFresh memory foam, ViscoFresh Latex has a breathable formula that eliminates heat buildup and includes our refreshing green tea additive fora calming, not chemical aroma.
