It’s comfortable and relaxing, but how is it actually made?
In the case of memory foam, the manufacturing process used is a batch process for making certain shapes by cutting or molding foam. There are two types of foam: flexible and rigid. Flexible foam, with its open cell structure and ability to form high and low densities, is what memory foam is made of. Rigid foam uses a closed cell structure that prevents gas movement between cells, and is used in applications such as building insulation, refrigerator & freezer insulation, etc.

Micro-fibre is synthetic, most commonly made from polyesters, polyamides (nylon), or a combination of the two. This super-soft fabric is typically used for upholstery, clothing, industrial filters and cleaning products (i.e. dish towels). It’s well known for its durability and softness, and its absorbing, wicking and water repelling characteristics.
Using the textile unit of measurement, the “denier”, micro-fibre is a fibre with less than 1 denier per filament (a filament is a cluster or flock of fibres). A denier is linear and is defined as the mass (g) per 9,000 meters, …

They are disgusting
There’s no denying it. Those little creepy crawlies that feed solely on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals, and make their homes in the comfort of your bed send a shudder through the spine.

How they feel
* Memory foam reacts to heat and pressure. The more pressure you apply with the natural warmth of your hand, the more the foam will shift around your hand, displacing itself and conforming …

When buying new products, especially clothing, towels, mats, pillows, and mattresses, it’s hard not to notice the abundance of little white labels stitched into seams or zippers. One doesn’t tend to take much notice of the labels, other than to get proper washing instructions when necessary. But have you ever thought about what goes into making those labels?
Not only are they made to show proper use and care instructions, the “law labels” also follow specific and enforced laws depending on where they’re manufactured and where they’re sold. The requirements vary …

In 2006, the United States government implemented a federal standard that requires mattress manufacturers to subject their products to controlled “open flame testing” at government approved facilities. This is also known as CPSC 16 CFR Part 1633, Standard for the Flammability (Open Flame) of Mattress Sets; Final Rule. The mattresses are ignited by a torch and need to burn, but not spread, for a specified length of time in order to pass the testing. Only then will the manufacturer, importer, or reseller be permitted to distribute the product to consumers.
