Layers	Open Cell Graphite Infused Simbatex, Aerocoil® Spring-Comfort Layer, Multi-Zoned Foam Base	the floatfoam™ layer with active cooling, the memory layer with active cooling, the support layer, the base layer.
Cover	BREATHABLE SLEEP SURFACE. With up to 500g of super soft, hand-knitted goodness; our hypoallergenic sleep surface keeps your mattress fresh and cool.	The quilted top cover is super soft and luxuriously thick for your comfort. We wove silver strands in the top cover. Silver naturally prevents and kills bacteria and microbes, so you're left with a clean, fresh mattress for longer. The white top panel of the mattress (97% polyester, 2% elastane and 1% silver) can be unzipped and popped in the wash at 40°. We've also added little extras, like double seams and subtle yellow piping for an understated, quality aesthetic.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	Yes	Yes
Comfort	Being too hot at night is an absolute no-no for great sleep. That’s why we designed our fantastic Simbatex foam; it’s an ‘open cell’ foam, which allows thirty times the airflow of memory foam (that’s almost breezy for a bed).	Feeling too hot to sleep is a thing of the past with foams that actively cool you down. The top two layers actively cool your body down if you get too hot, thanks to foams infused with graphite. We also use open-cell foams for added breathability.
Support	You’ll find up to 1,500 of these ingenious springs nestling in our essential mattresses; each individual Aerocoil® spring flexes gently in response to you and your partner’s movements, offering personalised support to each of you without disturbing the other.	Settle in for immediate pressure relief with a foam (never before used in the United Kingdom) that gives you weightless support. Four layers of foam provide your body with spine alignment and added pressure relief. Every great mattress needs a durable base that supports all body types and stops any sagging, so this layer is extra strong. We even cut out tiny 'zones' in the base foam to help keep the pressure off your shoulders and hips. It's added TLC for achy muscles. This base layer combines with the firm support layer which keeps your spine aligned.
