Memory Foam has also found its way into the world of competition running shoes. Shoes like the popular Asics GEL-Foundation 7, which employs a the foam in its heel collar, ensuring that the shoe molds freely to the athlete's foot, and prevents those nasty new-shoe blisters.

It's also been suggested by some that investigation needs to be made into the use of Memory Foam in sports padding equipment, such as cricket and batting pads, shin pads, arm guards, and possibly even some fencing equipment.

Few can doubt the unique health qualities of a good night's sleep that comes from using a quality single memory foam mattress that conforms to your unique body shape. Also with less allergens, better breathing and better circulation come as standard.
