What is a gel foam mattress?
Gel foam mattresses are relatively new in the mattress industry and are usually made up of memory foam or visco and a layer of gel. The gel can be infused through the mattress or in some cases can be contained within a specific layer and is most commonly found in pillows. Gel foam mattresses consist mainly of a support core and a gel foam cushion. The core of the gel mattresses can consist of a cold core foam or spring. The gel foam coating is a gel that is mixed with cold foam. This provides the product with stability without losing the gel's pressure relief properties. Gel foam mattresses are characterized, therefore, by a good body support and are very breathable.

Mattresses foam gel compared with other mattresses
Gel foam mattresses offer better climate regulation because the gel absorbs and distributes heat better than other types of mattresses. Which means you do not get hot at night like with some traditional memory foam mattresses. Just like traditional memory foam, gel technology will help stop the transfer of movement when people sleep in the same bed and ensure the support of the pressure points of your body. Gel foam is also hypoallergenic, which keeps dust mites away. Gel mattresses offer more support than others and tend to be firmer.
