Layers	Copper-infused Memory Foam, Responsive Comfort Foam, Individually Encased Coils, High-Density Support Foam	Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (with graphite + ceramic gel), as well as a quilted, breathable memory foam (with carbon fiber + graphite), and high quality pocketed springs.
Cover	Moisture wicking, cool to the touch hand-quilted cover combines HydroCool® technology, plus Celliant® fiber to create a cool and fast drying sleep surface that improves your overall well-being every night.

Comfort	Sleep Cool and Breezy Sleep easy with a heat-conductive copper-infused comfort foam, layered with innerspring coils and Sleep Recovery Technology™ for a cool-to-the-touch sensation. Stay cool throughout the night	Graphite and gel-beads work to draw away heat all night long, channeling it through breathable, open-cell foam and airy springs. Our hydrophilic foams dissipate moisture, even on hot summer nights. Our proprietary Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam is breathable and long-lasting, giving you just enough soft without the sink to stay aligned all night. Graphite conducts heat away from you quickly and efficiently as you sleep to prevent you from waking up hot and sweaty. Cooling gel beads wick away heat and help create gradual support as they draw together under your pressure points.
Support	Full Support from Edge to Edge Extra strong edge coils allow for enhanced edge support along the perimeter of the mattress. Supportive edges reduce roll-off	The responsive support of springs meets the long-lasting comfort of our Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam in our most supportive mattress yet. We took the familiar bounce of traditional design and wrapped it in an ultra-luxurious plush pillow top filled with carbon fiber-infused foam for extended durability. Unlike all-foam mattresses, the Tuft & Needle Hybrid has a more reactive, energetic surface thanks to a tempered spring system. Individually pocketed springs respond to your unique pressure points and provide a subtle, lively bounce - without transferring your partner's every move to your side or waking you up to squeaky springs. Cooling gel beads wick away heat and help create gradual support as they draw together under your pressure points.
