Memory foam is one of the most trusted materials when shopping for quality pillows that deliver both comfort and support. Known for its ability to contour to your body and relieve pressure points, memory foam offers a tailored sleep experience that adjusts to your unique shape.
What Is Memory Foam?
Memory foam, or viscoelastic foam, is temperature-sensitive. It softens in response to body heat and moulds to your shape, returning to its original form once pressure is removed. This responsive nature makes it ideal for orthopaedic and cervical pillows, like the ones we proudly offer at Pillow Pal®.
How Room Temperature Affects Memory Foam
Room temperature directly impacts the feel and performance of your memory foam pillow. Understanding this can help you get the most out of your quality pillow.
In Cold Environments
When the temperature drops, memory foam tends to feel firmer and less responsive. This is because cooler air stiffens the foam’s structure, making it take longer to adjust to your body. If your room is usually cold, consider letting your pillow sit for a few minutes before lying down to allow it to soften with your body heat.
In Warm Environments
Warmer rooms cause memory foam to become softer and more pliable, offering quicker contouring and a plush feel. However, excessive heat may reduce the level of support, making it feel too “squishy”. That’s why it’s important to choose quality pillows that balance breathability and support, like our Hybrid Groove Memory Foam Pillow.
Why Quality Matters
Not all memory foam pillows are created equal. At Pillow Pal, we craft quality pillows using high-density, breathable foam that adapts quickly to temperature changes, keeping you comfortable no matter the season. Our ergonomic designs are backed by science and built for everyday luxury.
