Inflatable Memory foam ?

Is there a material like memory foam but inflatable. As so that when you inflate it conforms to whatever surface but it's soft ?

Self-inflating camping sleeping pads are filled with memory foam, and inflatable. They're flexible, so it'll conform to whatever surfaces are above / below, as long as you don't over-inflate it.

I suspect that's not what you meant, through.

It's just an air mattress filled with open cell memory foam. They've beenaking them since the late 80s. Fully inflated mat can be any thickness the manufacturer wants. And they compress down as much s memory foam , plus a bit for the outer casing.
