• wherein the three-dimensional nonwoven comprises:
• a plurality of shape memory polymer fibers,
• a first side,
• a second side,
• a protruded first area comprising an upper portion in the first side and a lower portion in the second side, and
• a second area comprising a plurality of deformations,
• wherein at least one deformation has at least three adjacent deformations,
• wherein an edge to edge space is no greater than about 3 mm between the at least one deformation and each of the at least three adjacent deformations,
• wherein the upper portion comprises an upper portion height,
• wherein the lower portion comprises a lower portion height,
• wherein the lower portion height is less than the upper portion height as measured according to Height Test,
• wherein a shape memory index of the upper portion is higher than a shape memory index of the lower portion, and
• wherein the first area is filled with fibers.
