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 a comfortable bed and good night's sleep. Here are a few for you to check out.
