Comfort
Douglas' CoolSense™ cover and ecoLight™ cooling gel foam layer absorb more heat with faster dissipation, giving you a cooler sleep. Moisture-wicking CoolSense™ cover. Breathable ecoLight™ cooling gel foam. Fast infrared heat dissipation. The comfort layer of Luxury ecoLight™ Cooling Gel Foam is made with a 50% smaller carbon footprint, ecoLight™ cooling gel foam is just as durable, responsive, and luxurious as high density memory foam, but won't retain heat or feel like quicksand. Premium Elastex™ Foam. As durable, supportive, and responsive as natural Latex foam, Elastex™ is made without any of the harmful, allergy-causing chemicals found in many Latex mattresses.
Ultra breathable cover and hybrid design increase airflow to keep the mattress cooler. No more sweaty nights. Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to be denser to contour to your body. Uniquely pressure relieving, we use 4 pound Memory Plus Foam - a special, ultra dense and extra durable Helix blend.
Support
Premium AirScape™ foam conforms to your body to relieve pressure. Memory foam with 3 areas of Zoned Support™ help align your spine and relieve pressure. Softer under shoulders and firmer around the hips, waist and lower back. Gel pods under the waist and lower back add support and help keep your spine perfectly aligned in any position. Zoned Support™ Max reinforces the layer of memory foam above with continuous support zones to provide full-body relief and ease aches and pains. Fabric-wrapped springs provide active support and a little lift.
The new Helix Plus has higher density foams to match heavier sleepers and provide increased durability. The coil unit has best in-class edge support, so plus size sleepers never feel like they're falling off the mattress. An extra layer of high density, 4 pound foam is included in one of the three foam layers to help provide maximum support for people with high BMIs. Firm Memory Foam provides ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support. Hundreds of individual taller coils designed to cradle and support heavier weight. Reinforced perimeter to provide edge support. The bottom foam layer of the mattress provides base support and durability to the entire mattress.
