Firmness Info

Layers
Gel Infused Memory Foam, Natural Latex, High Definition Pocket Spring
Kloudcell™ comfort layer, NoPressure Adaptive Core
Cover
Cashmere Knitted Fabric - We selected Cashmere fabric for the mattress surface material because we wanted a natural fabric that was soft to the touch, yet remained extremely durable.
Tencel - Nothing beats breathability in bed. Made with a TENCEL™ Lyocell fibre, all you need to know about our sensitive and soothing 7cm comfort layer is that it absorbs and releases moisture, making nodding off a breeze.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
3D Spacer Fabric - Our side panels are designed to let air circulate throughout your mattress. Mattresses need to breathe too you know! A top layer of Gel Infused Memory Foam for temperature stability. For the second layer, we chose Natural and renewable Latex, designed to breathe freely yet support uniformly.
Our customisable, double-sided Kloudcell™ comfort layer means you can choose what firmness level of work for you. It comes in a medium-firm feel but if you’re on the lookout for something a little firmer, it's as easy as unzipping and flipping the comfort layer.
Support
Dynamic Edge Support - Made of firmer high tensile steel springs, the edge support surrounds the mattress and allows full use of the total surface and for sleeper to lie up to the edge without roll-off. Memory foam for the ultimate in pressure relief and body contouring. Individual pocket springs mean no partner disturbance and a stronger mattress for a longer product life. Specifically zoned in 5 places to provide maximum support.
To help create an ideal foundation for sleeping, 3 targeted high-density precision cut support zones are designed to take the pressure off. No matter what position you prefer, overall it helps make a better sleeping experience.
