How to Cut Memory Foam

Memory foam is an ideal mattress topper for ultimate comfort. Stress is applied when you lie down on the memory foam. When you rise up, the stress is released. There is a molecular structure in the memory foam which allows it to maintain its shape. If the structure of the memory foam is changed or disturbed, the molecular configurations change, causing a possible negative effect in the foam over time. In order to maintain the quality of the foam, cutting it properly is important.
