Definitions for "Memory Foam"
Keywords:  visco, foam, bra, elastic, mattress
Memory foam is a space age development evolving from the necessity of such a material in the “seats” or “couches” used by astronauts in rockets to absorb the g forces exerted at take off. Absorbing the force was a good thing. The shape of the body remaining in the couch was not. Memory foam was invented to absorb the force exerted against the body, but, would then return to its original state after the body and the force were removed. Memory foam, with time and body heat, molds to your individual shape. After taking the bra off, with no heat and nothing to shape it, the foam returns to its original molded shape. “Dents” found in garments from shipping should eventually “hang out.” To expedite the process, put the bra on and hold your hands over the outer cups. The body heat and shape of the bust should eliminate the dents and the bra will return to its original seamless shape.
