Comfort	Pressure Relief - The memory foam layer distributes pressure evenly allowing the mattress to adapt to your body's individual contours. Air flows freely through your Emma mattress so you stay cool while you sleep.	Next-generation cooling technology, designed specifically for active Canadian lifestyles. The channeled top layer of graphite latex foam works with the cooling gel layer below, acting as a thermal superhighway. Excess heat is transported quickly away from your body towards open-air channels where heat and body moisture can escape. Sleep better by sleeping long. Recore's™ motion isolating comfort layer increases the number of uninterrupted sleep cycles you experience overnight, giving you as much restorative rest as possible. Not only does it reduce motion ripples across the bed surface, it's also designed to cushion, contour, and relieve pressure around your joints and muscles. Graphite-Infused Latex Foam. Heat-regulating graphite latex helps you keep a cooler core temperature necessary for deep sleep by channeling thermal energy away from your body. Breathable Gel Foam. Millions of shock-absorbing air cushions dissipate body heat away from the bed and circulate fresh air around the central layer of the Recore™ mattress. New air channels are created with every little movement throughout the night thanks to next-generation Vortex™ gel foam found only in this performance mattress.
Support	Spinal Alignment - The HRX material layer provides counter-pressure and alignment for lower-back and shoulder support. Your spine stays aligned whether you are a side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach sleeper.	Supporting you and your body at night helps you achieve greater results during the day. Recore's™ three layers of performance foam are calibrated to a firmness fit for side, back, and stomach sleepers. The support system is designed to provide overall structural integrity, while also encouraging proper spinal alignment by preventing excessive sinkage. The durable support foam gives the mattress its structural integrity while providing surface-wide support and precise pressure-point relief. Latex foam is best for both durable comfort and rapid-response contouring. It has a similar cushioning feel to memory foam and the spring-like resilience of innerspring. Recore™ is carefully calibrated to provide full musculoskeletal relief for better body recovery.
