Response Curve

Relaxed woman sitting on air mattress in natural water setting, symbolizing comfort and sleep relaxation.

This is the curve produced with weight or force of compression on one axis and the percentage of compression on the other. Higher response curves allow a material to be both more pressure relieving with initial compression and supportive with deeper compression. Very similar to Comfort Factor. An upward curve is “better” than a straight line.
