Foam Production
Memory Foam is a type of foam material that was developed by the NASA space agency in the 1960s. This material was initially used to improve the cushioning of seats and beds in spacecraft during acceleration. However, as soon as memory foam was introduced to the market, it found widespread use in the bedding and furniture industries.
Memory foam has unique properties that distinguish it from other foam materials. One of its prominent features is its ability to conform to the shape of the body. When pressure is applied to memory foam, it responds by molding to the shape of the compressed body, and when the pressure is removed, it gradually returns to its original form. This characteristic has made memory foam a popular soft and supportive material for use in bedding, mattresses, and furniture.
Another key feature of memory foam is its ability to alleviate pressure. This foam has the power to distribute pressure from compressed areas of the body, helping to reduce muscle and joint pain. These soothing properties have made memory foam a suitable choice for individuals with muscular and joint issues, arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other sleep-related problems.
Since memory foam helps reduce pressure points in the body, it can contribute to improved sleep quality and alleviate factors such as fatigue. Additionally, due to its thermal conductive properties, memory foam can effectively regulate body temperature, helping the person remain comfortably cool throughout the night.

Memory foam, due to its unique properties, is used as a medical material. Below, we explain the medical reasons for using memory foam:
- Support for Pressure Points: One of the prominent features of memory foam is its ability to remember the shape of the body. This means that when memory foam is under pressure, it responds by conforming to the shape of the body, and when the pressure is removed, it gradually returns to its original shape. This feature allows memory foam to reduce pressure on the body’s pressure points, making it a suitable choice for individuals with muscular and joint problems. This foam can help reduce pain and stiffness in muscles and joints, and also aid in the repair and regeneration of tissues damaged by pressure.
- Pressure Relief: Memory foam has the ability to relieve pressure. As it is compressed at pressure points, the shape of the memory foam changes, reducing the pressure on these areas. This feature can help alleviate muscular and joint pain, and can be used as a therapeutic solution for issues such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other sleep and rest-related problems.
- Body Temperature Regulation: Memory foam has thermal absorption properties that help the individual stay cool and comfortable throughout the night. This material can effectively regulate body temperature and prevent the sensation of excessive heat during sleep. This feature can contribute to better and deeper sleep, and improve neurological and muscular function.
- Reduced Motion Transfer: Memory foam has the ability to reduce the transfer of movement between sleeping partners, which can improve the sleep quality of those who share a bed.
Memory foam is used as a medical material in various products, such as mattresses, pillows, massage sponges, and medical devices. However, it is always important to follow the recommendations and guidance of health and medical professionals, and to use memory foam products correctly, as each individual and health condition may have specific needs.
Cold foam
In terms of cellular structure, cold polyurethane foam is of the open-cell type. During the production stages of cold foam, indirect heat or low temperature is used. This aspect improves the performance and increases the lifespan of the foam.
Among the characteristics of open-cell or low-density polyurethane foam, one can mention the ability to allow water passage and rapid drying of these foams. The fine pores present in this type of polyurethane allow for the prevention of liquid absorption and enable air circulation; therefore, low-density foams are produced as antimicrobial to be resistant to fungi and mold, and have high durability.
MDI & POLYOL
Memory foam, also known as foam memory, is made from specialized raw materials that respond comfortably and somewhat to the body’s shape when lying down, and gradually return to their original form after the pressure is removed. The raw materials typically include the following:
Polyurethane Foam: Polyurethane foam is a type of foam made from polyurethane, usually produced through chemical methods. Polyurethane foam has the ability to be compressed and then return to its original shape.
Isocyanates: Isocyanates are a group of chemical compounds used in the production process of polyurethane foam. Isocyanates, by reacting with other compounds, help regulate the performance of the foam.
Additives: Certain additives may be added to the raw materials of memory foam to give the foam specific characteristics. Examples of additives include fire retardants, pressure-reducing agents, softening agents, and antibacterial agents.
The density of 70 refers to the density or specific gravity of the foam. In this case, memory foam with a density of 70 means that each unit volume of the foam weighs approximately 70 kilograms. The density of the foam can vary depending on the type and application of the memory foam.

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a protective fabric that combines a waterproof, thermoplastic polyurethane membrane with base fabrics such as spun or polyester to create a wide range of high-performance materials. These materials maintain their flexibility while being durable and waterproof.
TPU-coated textiles are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, can withstand severe weather and environmental conditions, and are resistant to abrasion and puncture.
Foam and Rebond
The main components of foam are polyol, isocyanate (TDI), and water. Water is the element that causes the expansion and increase in volume of the foam.
Foams are produced in varying thicknesses. The thicker the foam, the higher its density and density, and consequently, the longer its lifespan.
Rebond is a type of open-cell polyurethane foam that is produced by combining shredded foam with adhesives and polyurethane materials. This type of foam, which is highly flexible yet very hard and durable, is generally made from a combination of foam and shredded foam waste with binder adhesives, polyols, and other polymeric materials.
