Isotonic Foam Mattress Pad

An isotonic foam mattress pad can change the way you sleep. With incredible support and comfort it will transform your traditional, ordinary mattress into a isotonic memory foam mattress pads from the future that cradles your body and gives you the sleep you’ve been wanting for years!

The foam in an mattress pad Isotonic is measured in different ways. It’s measured by the weight which is determined by the amount of chemicals that are added to a regular polyurethane foam (which in turn becomes memory foam). It’s measured by it’s Indentation Load Deflection which tells you how much weight an isotonic foam bed pad can take to cause it to indent (up to a certain percentage). The magnetic memory foam mattress pad also measured by its resilience and tensile strength which this page will attempt to explain.

The Resilience In An Isotonic Cool Foam Mattress Pad Cover

The resilience of an isotonic foam mattress pad is the measurement of an isotonic foam pad’s springiness. This is determined by an experiment that is usually conducted by the manufacturers trial labs. The process for the mattress pad memory foam goes like this: A steel ball is dropped from a height of thirty-six inches. The percent rebound is then measured. The percent is what determines the resilience. If the ball rebounded very high then the foam is given an H.R. rating (for High Resilience). The general rule of thumb is that the higher the resilience rating the stronger and the more durable the isotonic memory foam mattress pad will be when compressed by pressure and force (ie your body).

The Tensile Strength Of An Isotonic Iso Cool Foam Mattress Pad

This value measures the extent to which foam can be stretched. The way it is measured is in pounds per square inch and is measured by how long the foam can be stretched in terms of percent of the stretch before it ruptures. Most of the mattresses used in bodipedic memory foam mattress pads will not necessarily need this type of rating. Most memory foam in mattresses is not stretched so this rating bares very little meaning on foam. The foam in your isotonic pad will be compressed (when you sleep on it) but more than likely you’re not going to stretch it (and if you do why would you?).

The ratings given to foam can differ as the as each batch of foam can be varied in the pour amount. No company can give absolute specific ratings and so each rating given should be an approximate. So keep this in mind when you read the rating on the Isotonic Foam Mattress Pad you are about to purchase.
