You've probably seen pillows, mattresses, mattress toppers, and seat cushions made of memory foam. Usually, memory foam is made of polyurethane and added chemicals that increase its viscosity and density.

Memory foam is firmer when cooler. High density memory foam reacts to body heat -- molding to a warm human body in a few minutes. A lower density memory foam reacts to pressure and molds quickly.

Regardless, memory foam products have become popular among chronic pain and arthritis patients looking for comfort when sitting, resting, or sleeping. Look at a few of your options in Memory Foam Products.

Do you find that exercising helps as well. I have been using a product I bought from http://www.jym.me and it seems to work really well. I look forward to combining this with the memory foam.

When you suffer from arthritis it hurts each time you turn over in the night. Memory foam is a great way to get a good nights sleep without tossing and turning.
