Memory Foam Mattress

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

Our mattresses are more than just a block of foam. Every layer is carefully chosen and assembled by hand in our Yorkshire workshop:

  1. Breathable Fabric Cover
    A soft, stretch-knit cover that feels smooth to the touch. It allows airflow and helps regulate temperature.
  2. Comfort Layer
    This high-density memory foam adapts to your unique shape, offering personalised comfort and pressure relief.
  3. Transition Layer
    A responsive layer that balances softness with support, preventing that “sinking” feeling.
  4. Supportive Base Foam
    Provides structure, durability, and the foundation your mattress needs for long-lasting comfort.
