What is a Memory Foam?
Memory foam consists mainly of polyurethane with additional chemicals that increase its viscosity and density.
It is often referred to as “viscoelastic” polyurethane foam, or low-resilience polyurethane foam. The foam bubbles or ‘cells’ are open, effectively creating a matrix through which air can move.

What can you use instead of memory foam?
Latex Latex mattresses
Latex. Latex mattresses are formed using the sap derived from rubber trees; these mattresses are recognized for their elasticity and breathable properties. With this in mind, unlike the heat retention associated with memory foam, you can expect a cooler night’s sleep with a latex mattress.3
