The Madison features 3.5 inches of CoolTemp™ Memory Foam. It is a viscoelastic, temperature sensitive material, quite different from ordinary foam. Viscoelastic describes the property of a substance to both resist flow or change of shape (viscous) and to return to its original shape after being forced to change (elastic). An imperfect version of viscoelastic material was developed for NASA in the 1970s, designed specifically to conform to any individual's body and relieve the pressure of the tremendous forces of gravity the astronauts experienced during lift off and flight. Like so many NASA technologies, the formula was eventually released to the public. In 1993, Bragada introduced CoolTemp™ viscoelastic pressure relieving material, a vastly improved reinvention of the original NASA formula for home and medical use. No - the cover has been designed to work with CoolTemp™ foam so you feel the "Memory Foam" and receive it's benefits. Cashmere is extremely breathable, and durable. Cashmere also keeps you cool and dry in the summer, and warm in the winter. Cashmere is the softest fabric you can place on a mattress. You'll feel like royalty on this exquisite Cashmere mattress cover from Bragada. The Madison has natural, cotton quilting inside the cover to give this bed a luxurious look, and softer initial feel. Bragada's exclusive MagicMiddle™ lumbar support adds back support where you need it most, around your butt area. This helps take pressure off your spine while you sleep, and releives your back from aches and pains. We compare the Madison to Tempur-Pedic's BellaFina Bed. |
