Support	The Nectar Lush features an innovative memory foam with a higher density than what is found in traditional foam products. The increased density helps provide superior pressure relief for a plush, floaty rest.The top memory foam layer helps provide cushioning for the body at its most sensitive areas, like the pressure points. This is often described as the much-loved, traditional "memory foam" feel: softness, cushion, pressure relief, comfort, etc. The second memory foam layer, or the transition layer, is intended to help provide resistance against the body as you lay down on top of the mattress. If you were to jump onto your mattress, this layer prevents you from feeling the base support layer of foam. The base support layer is intended to provide solid support for the layers above it. It helps give structure and stability for all of the other components to perform as desired.	The most scientifically advanced mattress in the world. Designed to intelligently adapt to your body's unique pressure points for superior, personalized comfort. Responsive support coils enhance the body-alignment properties of the Smart Comfort Grid and minimize motion transfer.
