What Makes Memory Foam Different?
Memory foam was first developed by NASA in the 1960s to improve cushioning and safety for aircraft seats. Today, it’s one of the most popular mattress materials thanks to its unique ability to mould to your body. Unlike traditional foam, memory foam softens in response to body heat, cradling your shape and spreading weight evenly.
This reduces pressure on joints, improves spinal alignment, and creates that “floating” feeling people love.
The Anatomy of a Funkybedz Memory Foam Mattress

Comfort Layer
This high-density memory foam adapts to your unique shape, offering personalised comfort and pressure relief. -
Transition Layer
A responsive layer that balances softness with support, preventing that “sinking” feeling. -
Supportive Base Foam
