Cover	Ghost Ice Cooling Cover - Cool-to-the-touch cover with patented gel polymer layer provides the ultimate in cooling comfort.	Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only. Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.

Comfort	You can choose from three different operating modes: Manual, Automatic, and Position, which give you total control over the settings. This will give you different comfort levels at each pressure point for maximum support and comfort.	Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress. Heat Wicking Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body. Breathable With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress. No More Quicksand Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply. Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.
Support	The smart sensors of this bed read body pressure and make adjustments in real-time as you sleep. No more fiddling with remote controls. Or you can control each pressure point allowing you to get the perfect customized support while you sleep.	Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot. Supportive Base Layer Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress. Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.
