Comfort
Cooling, supportive simbatex® layer: Open cell, graphite-infused Simbatex® foam keeps you cooler, with 30x the airflow of standard memory foam.
The top layer of memory foam creates a soft sleeping environment, with a slight sinking as the memory foam moulds to your shape.
Support
Zoned, high-density foam base: A crenelated, high-density foam base offers zoned support, providing extra pressure relief to the shoulders and lower lumbar area.
The 1000 individually nestled pocket springs below provide enough support for the sleeper without the mattress feeling firm. Couples who differ in size are well suited to a memory foam spring mattress, because the springs react quickly to changes in weight and so support the sleepers independently.
