CoverThe Birch Mattress has a cover that is made using natural, organic cotton. It is designed to be highly breathable with a subtle stretch and soft touch.An elite, European performance fabric with Upcycle technology. Upcycle utilizes a proprietary surface treatment of encapsulated minerals to absorb body heat, transforming it into Far Infrared Rays of energy that can be emitted back into the human body. Far Infrared Rays stimulate local blood flow without increasing blood pressure, penetrating deeper into the skin and helping to promote a more restorative night's sleep.

ComfortOur 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.An advanced phase change molecule (PCM) weave with TitanCool optimizes temperature for a more comfortable night's sleep. A second 2" layer of hyper-elastic Energexย™ foam offers cloud-like comfort with immediate response technology that adjusts to your body each time you move. A third 1" layer of swirl gel memory foam delivers plush contouring with added cooling.
SupportWe 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.As an elite hybrid mattress, the Propel also delivers responsive contouring with the exceptional temperature moderation of TitanCool and copper-infused foam for added airflow and superior antimicrobial benefits. A 1.5" top layer of patented CopperFlex foam provides responsive contouring with targeted pressure point relief. A 6" base of up to 1,024 individually encased Ascension coils promotes increased reactivity and support as well as superior motional isolation.
