Memory foam is made from polyurethane. This is a type of plastic you’ll find in a variety of products, such as sofas, mattresses, insulation, and spray foam. It gets its name from the fact that it can change shape under pressure, but return to its original shape when the pressure is gone. This lets it adjust to your individual shape and gives you extra head and neck support.The support that a Memory foam pillow gives you helps you sleep in the best position for your spine, one that supports the natural curve of your cervical spine. This is made up of the first seven bones that make up your neck. Memory foam pillows come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from the traditional puffy rectangles to a curved orthopedic model designed for back and side sleepers.”
