Comfort	The only smart mattress with advanced cooling and heating technology designed to help you fall asleep faster and keep you asleep.	Amazing comfort for all sleeping positions - with the Variable Support properties of copper infused memory foam, combined with two unique comfort options in one mattress, the Layla Hybrid truly addresses the needs of side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Copper-infused foam transfers heat away from your body faster, resulting in a much cooler sleeping experience. And because copper is naturally anti-microbial, the copper gel in this mattress will form an antimicrobial barrier that resists odor causing bacteria and keeps you sleeping fresh. Surface Modification Technology (SMT) shapes are cut up to half an inch deep for added support, airflow, and pressure relief.
Support	Dual-Zone Cooling & Heating. Independently set each side of the bed to anywhere between 55°F-110°F. Schedule on and off times from the Eight Sleep app. Advanced Sleep Tracking. Individual sleep tracking on each bed side, supporting two sleepers. Metrics include sleep stages, sleep time, toss and turns, and more.	Flip it to the side that feels best for you. Softer and more plush, the soft side of the Layla Hybrid Mattress is great for those who prefer a little hug from your mattress. The firm side offers less sink and increased support for a more traditional firmer feeling mattress. Memory foam infused with copper reacts under body weight with a firming response. This response is called Variable Support and unlike traditional memory foam, it provides increased support at deep compression areas. The tri-zone layers provide more support in the center of the mattress (for hips and shoulders). High quality American-made 14 gauge central springs are individually wrapped in fabric so you get individual support for every inch of your body. The springs move independently so when your partner moves around your side of the bed stays put allowing you to sleep soundly through the night. A double coil perimeter in the two outermost rows using 16 gauge coils make for superior edge support.
