Cover
The cooling cover also disperses heat and effortlessly wicks away any moisture. Removable and washable top cover out of 99% polyester and 1% elastane.The side cover is made of 100% polyester. The bottom cover is made of 87% polyester and 13% polypropylene.
The Adaptive® cooling cover responds dynamically to temperature changes to keep your sleep environment cool and dry, all night, every night. The Adaptive technology incorporates a temperature sensitive polymer into the cooling cover; meaning the warmer it gets, the more the cooling Adaptive cover will evaporate moisture. And even better, it works independently so you and your partner can both sleep at the temperature that works for you.
