Every iComfort mattress is made with our exclusive Carbon Fiber Memory Foam. This system channels heat away from your body. Gel Active® Max Foam (used only in CF2000 model) is an open celled memory foam helps promote airflow, so you don't have that hot, stuffy feeling when falling asleep. UltraCold System (used in the CF3000 and CF4000 models) The layer of extra-cool Carbon Fiber Memory Foam is engineered to work hard at absorbing excess heat from your body, then channel it away, all while you sleep comfortably.
Support	Specially designed using a Memory Plus Foam pressure relief layer to cushion your pressure points as a side sleeper. Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you the right amount of support based on your body type. High-Grade Polyfoam. Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type. Wrapped Coils. Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer. Edge Support. Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.	Multi-layered foam technology adds support, resilience, and temperature regulation for the coolest, most comfortable sleep ever. Carbon Fiber Memory Foam provides exceptional strength for back and neck support. Air Support Foam (used only in CF4000 model) moves with your body and contours around it to help alleviate aches and pains caused by pressure points.
