Visco Memory Foam is an open-celled, body-heat and body-weight sensitive material originally designed to relieve the pressure of Gravitational forces experienced by astronauts in flight. Its visco-elastic properties allow it to automatically sense your weight and temperature, and respond by molding to your body's exact shape and position. The best thing about this type of foam is that the 'body molding' aspect won't make you perspire. The open celled structure is self-ventilating, so it actually dissipates heat. And Carpenter is the only manufacturer to add a special comfort layer of poly fiber that absorbs moisture, as well. The pillow and the mattress made of this type foam give you a unique sleeping experience.

Specialized processes adopted to manufacture Visco Memory Foam give it a unique quality and feel. They also create a scent that's noticeable when you first open the packaging. To eliminate it, let your mattress "air out" for 24 hours. By the way, this type of foam does not use formaldehyde that is found in most man-made foams in its formulation. And the mattress made of this foam does not leave body impression. The foam was originally created by the space program and then further improved in the lab for therapeutic use. They initially left body impressions. We improved upon those foams. During the night, our foam gently molds to your body. In the morning, it slowly, surely recovers from compression.
