MAN-MADE
INGENIOUS
It is often referred to as “viscoelastic” polyurethane foam. It was first invented by NASA in the 1970s for space programs and used to upholster astronauts flight chairs to reduce pressure points, making astronauts more comfortable from the G-forces experienced during lift off. Since then it has been developed and has become a popular material of choice for medical and domestic mattresses and pillows due to its pressure relieving comfort.
