Whats the difference between latex and what Tempurpedic is made of?
Tempurpedic is made from visco-elastic foam and is a relatively new type of foam. It is temperature sensitive and in cold environments can feel very firm as it molds to your body. And when you move or change positions it is slow to mold to your body. In general terms it is sold by the major foam manufacturers in 3 pound, 4 pound and 5 pound densities. Tempurpedic visco foam has until recently been in the upper 5 pound area. They have now added a new mattress to their line with a softer feel below the 5 pound area with polyurthane foam base. Without a doubt latex offers a wider range of firmnesses and is more responsive to your changing positions during sleep.
