Cover	The breathable Emma cover combines a premium design with climate regulating fibers which allow the mattress to breathe and not retain heat like other mattresses do.

Comfort	The maximum amount of adaptability through our special German technology, and expertly developed foam. This allows airflow through the foam, allowing you to stay cool at night and sleep soundly. The top layer of breathable and adaptable Airgocell® foam ensures optimized adaptability. In addition to this, Airgocell® foam has an open pore structure for ideal air circulation adding to the Emma Mattress' climate regulating design. The grey side cover with 3D-mesh supports air circulation.	Zenhaven's American-made Talalay latex offers a range of health benefits. It's naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to mold, microbes and dust mites. It contains no volatile organic compounds or other harmful substances found in chemical-based bed foams. And it has a uniquely resilient feel that elevates and conforms to your body for perfect support, total comfort, and a truly restorative night's sleep. Latex has an open cell structure that allows air to circulate freely, countering body heat and providing cool, comfortable sleep. This natural air flow gives you a mattress that's seven times more breathable than other types of latex.
Support	The mattress perfectly aligns your spine, no matter what position you are sleeping in, to give you a better and healthier night's sleep. A middle layer of adaptive memory foam ensures an improved distribution of support, pressure relief and spine support and alignment. The cold foam firm bottom layer provides the necessary counter pressure whatever your sleeping position. Here we have added our innovative German Cut-out Technology which helps to align your spine giving you a healthier night's sleep. This technology gives you support in your lower back and shoulder areas while also helping the Emma Mattress to adapt to you.	By varying the size and distribution of the "pinholes" formed during the Talalay process, we created a seamless mattress layer with 5 distinct zones of density, providing Zenhaven with firmer support beneath the torso and shoulders and more subtle support elsewhere. The result is pressure-free support and better spinal alignment. Natural latex is the best-kept secret in sleep, and once you have experienced it, nothing else will do. It instantly responds to every curve of your body for pressure-free support and incomparable comfort on both traditional and adjustable bases. A Zenhaven exclusive, our Talalay latex comfort layers feature a proprietary 5-zone design that gives you firmer support where you need it for the ultimate in comfort and spinal alignment.
