In more technical terms, Viscoelastic means that the unique material has the viscosity of fluids and the elasticity of foams built into one form. The Viscous element behaves similar to water and disperses pressure in all directions on contact while the elastic element helps it come back to shape and provide support. This makes it the most ideal contact cushioning sleep surface ever invented, practically even better than water. The open celled structure allows the material to breathe and feel cool to touch. User’s describe the high pressure reduction as a feeling of ‘flotation’. |
