Comfort	Our materials come from nature - whether it be wool sustainably sheared from New Zealand sheep or latex tapped from trees. These premium materials are comfortable on your body and conscience. 100% all natural & organic Birch Wool provides unparalleled comfort and temperature regulation. Birch Wool is designed to retain shape with a natural elasticity of each fiber. Talalay latex is up to 7 times more breathable than other types of latex. Natural latex is also hypoallergenic and anti-microbial.	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	We spent countless hours finding the right density of latex, quantity of wool, and type of steel springs to provide unprecedented comfort and pressure relief. Each mattress features a reinforced perimeter for best in class edge support. The coils that run along the outside of your mattress are actually firmer, so no more feeling of falling off the bed when lying down or sitting on the edge. Natural Talalay latex provides response to cushion your pressure points while giving support. Our latex is carefully managed to ensure consistency. Hundreds of individual steel coils help to cradle your body and provide support, while also limiting motion transfer. Additionally, the reinforced perimeter coils provide best in class edge support.	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.
