My Mistake: Comfort layer vs. support layer adventure and a question

[phoenix]

Hi nuicoled,

Thanks for taking the time to share your comments and feedback … I appreciate it

But, I am left with a question on foam density. I think memory foam is a word to be avoided now since it got attached to ‘sleeping hot’ so there are many new fancy technology terms specific to companies. When it comes to things called ‘gel foam’ for example, should we assume t is memory foam and would it follow the same density recommendations?

There are different types of “gel foam” because gel itself can be added to polyfoam, memory foam, or even latex foam so you would need to find out what type of foam the gel is being added to and I certainly wouldn’t make any assumptions but if the material is gel memory foam (which is the most common “gel foam”) then I would use the same density guidelines as regular memory foam as a way to reasonably assess the durability of the material. There is more about gel foams in post #2 here and the posts it links to.
