Comfort	Proprietary foam features exceptional pressure relief combined with enhanced airflow properties. Precision-contoured 3D geometric surface provides targeted, self-adjusting support for different parts of the body.	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 foundation of the MOLECULE mattress. An ample 7” of firm support fosters healthy spine alignment. Breathable materials promote even more airflow and heat transfer.	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.
