Comfort	Cooler Sleep. Graphite-Gel + high airflow, open cell Response Foam increase cooling and conductivity up to 7x more than traditional foam mattresses. Graphite Gel Foam. Rapidly adapts to each individual's needed support and comfort while infused graphite gel particles promote a cooler night's sleep.	The PerformaSleep mattress was specifically designed for people with an active lifestyle that need to recover fast. The CopperCool Technology infused into the top layer of the mattress help dissipate excess body heat, give a variable support, and eliminate any moisture. Athletes tend to be denser, therefore they need more support. They also tend to be hot-natured, and need a cooler mattress. In the PerformaSleep mattress, we give our athletes just that. The unique construction and technology of the mattress allows you to sleep cooler and better by elevating any pressure points in the mattress. This in return gives you a better night's sleep which in result will allow you to do better in your everyday activities. The CopperCool technology in the mattress wicks away excess body heat allowing you to sleep cooler throughout the night. When you are laying on your mattress your body will naturally compress the foam and in result the copper and gel particles infused throughout the top layer of the mattress start to coalesce together allowing for the heat to travel away from the body, from particle to particle. Our foam components also have higher airflows than most mattresses on the market today allowing for better heat dissipation.
Support	Not too firm, not too soft, the Bear Mattress is a perfect blend of cooling comfort, contouring pressure relief and core support designed for all body shapes and all types of sleepers. Offering just the right amount of bounce, Response Foam offers unparalleled pressure relief and pressure mapping for optimal spinal alignment. Support foam strengthens the comfort layers and adds long-lasting durability.	The PerformaSleep Enersorb material also gives you that bounce you need to help you move freely throughout the bed and not feel like you are stuck in a hole as with traditional memory foam mattresses. The Enersorb material gives you the same comfort, conformity, and pressure relief as memory foam but without the slow recovery. This is what gives you that bounce and allows you to move freely throughout the bed. Our Enersorb material is also more breathable than memory foam or latex allowing for better heat dissipation.
