Reporting on the latest space industry new has enabled myself, as well as the rest of the Space Daily staff, to witness some of the greatest technological advancements in the space industry. However, one of our most fond advancements has been the one we get to enjoy personally on a daily basis…the creation of NASA’s space age visco-elastic memory foam used so widely in the bedding industry.

Over the last five years there has been an explosion in the tempura mattress industry with many other mattress companies bringing their own visco-elastic custom size mattresses to the market place. To be fair, not every person has felt that visco-elastic space age foam mattresses are the best choice, citing that they can often get too hot because of the lack of breathability that occurs with the very dense visco-elastic foam. Let us talk about that what kind of feel it offers you when you.

The Deluxe Tempur Bed had two layers of what appeared to be the same type of bottom base foam, while the Tempflow had only one thicker bottom base foam layer. Both mattresses had a convoluted area on the surface of the base foam with peaks and valleys that enabled airflow to travel across them.

When I pushed on the mattress pads, I was able to feel air come out the sides of both mattresses at the convoluted side portions. However, with the patent pending ventilation technology of the Tempflow, I was able to also feel air come out the top through the many small holes in the visco-elastic foam on the surface, where as I could not feel any air come through the Tempur-Pedic visco-elastic foam surface. Then came the most important test of all, the direct comparison of lying on both mattresses and testing the pressure comfort, feeling of proper support, and temperature comfort.
