Memory foam mattress overlays Memory foam mattress overlays are the same idea as an egg crate mattresses except, the quality of the foam is substantially better, they are 2 or 3 inches thick and they are flat on both sides. Memory foam is a higher density and has different properties than regular foam. When pressure is applied to regular foam it will depress but it also tries to push back which is okay for couches and pillows but can be a problem to those at risk for pressure sores. Memory foam will depress under pressure but it the amount it pushes backThis is demonstrated by how slowly it returns to it's original shape when pressure it removed from it. These traits of memory foam enables the mattress to disperses the weight of the person on it thus reducing
the areas of high pressure. The covers of these mattresses allow the skin to breathe which reduces the moisture caused by sweating and the heat generatedMemory foam does not break down and wear out as quickly as regular foam and will last the purchaser many years.

This is a completely different system than the other overlays mentioned in that there is nothing soft about it. it works is, one cell is inflated creating pressure points on the body while the other cell deflates. Then the deflated cell inflates and the inflatedThe theory is, the pressure points keep changing back and forth in a sort of massaging action thus simulating movement by the patient. This "massaging action" actually stimulates blood flow which reduces the
chances of developing a pressure sore. length of time for an alternating pressure pad to produces a full cycle is probably 10 to 20 minutes.
