Key differences summarized
| Aspect | PU Foam | Memory Foam |
|---|
| Comfort & Feel | Balanced, bouncier, less body-conforming. | Denser, contouring, provides a "hugging" or sinking sensation. |
| Support | Offers decent support, but less conformity than memory foam. | Excels at pressure relief, distributing weight evenly and reducing pressure points, making it ideal for joint pain. |
| Durability | Generally less durable than memory foam, especially lower-density options, and may lose shape faster. | Higher-quality memory foam (especially higher density) tends to be more durable and long-lasting (7-10 years). |
| Temperature | Generally more breathable, promoting better air circulation. | Can retain heat, but advancements like gel infusions and open-cell structures aim to mitigate this. |
| Cost | Typically more affordable. | Tends to be more expensive due to advanced manufacturing and features like pressure relief. |
| Movement | Bouncier, potentially higher motion transfer. | Excellent motion isolation, minimizing disturbance from a partner's movements. |
