Memory Foam Pads
Save Your Sore Butt with Memory Foam Pads
A lot of us spend our days seated in front of a computer or desk, not just at work but at home too. The problem with sitting down too long is quite literally a pain in the butt. Our bottoms get sore after having to support us for so long. The blood vessels get squeezed and sometimes our behinds can even go numb. Usually we have to satisfy ourselves with remedying this by standing up once in a while. Everyone knows though that the proactive approach is better; prevention is better than the cure, as it is always said. So how do you keep your butt from getting sore or going numb when you have to sit for a long time? Get a memory foam pad!
Memory foam is a wonderful material that changes shape to match whatever is pressing into it, and then keeps that shape for a short period of time. One of the best demonstrations of this property is pressing a hand into a block of memory foam then removing it. The hand leaves an impression that stays for a few moments before the foam forms back into its original shape. It does this because the heat of the hand changes the elasticity of the foam, making it softer when warmed and returning to its original shape as the heat dissipates.
Oddly enough, memory foam was invented for seats; airplane and spacecraft seats as a matter of fact. The scientists at NASA were looking for a material that was comfortable and provided enough support to increase survivability -- say, in case of an emergency or crash landing. It did not make it into the space program, but the field of medicine found use for it.
Medical practitioners observed sores on their patients, caused by lying down in one position for too long. The parts that took most of the pressure, the hips, shoulders, and buttocks would be inflamed, painful or numb. In the worst cases, the lack of blood flow into these parts caused gangrene and related problems. With memory foam mattresses, they were able to create a more even distribution of pressure, thus preventing bedsores.
These mattresses proved to be a big hit with the commercial consumers too. With these, the consumers got better sleep. Even better, they woke up with no back or neck pains. Everyone who used memory foam was pretty happy about it. Then someone came up with a bright idea addressing the problems that many people faced -- sore buttocks from sitting too long. That someone thought of using the same foam to improve pressure distribution across the buttocks and legs by putting it on a chair. The idea caught on, and today foam pads are commercially available.
With memory foam pads, sitting down has never been more comfortable. The foam in the pad shapes itself to the sitter’s bottom, providing comfort and support. Now you can sit for long periods of time and not worry about getting sore or numb. Save your sore butt -- use this special foam pad!
