Comfort	Nolah AirFoam is guaranteed to sleep cooler than memory foam.	Ventilation is the key to sleeping just right - not too hot, and not too cold. Purple achieves the ultimate sleep comfortability by combining a totally new material with a totally unique design. Purple remains temperature-neutral so you don't sleep hot and sweaty at night Purple's column design allows air to flow freely, preventing moisture trapping, extending the life of the mattress, and providing cleaner, more comfortable sleep. Thanks to the free air flow design and patented polymer materials, Purple naturally sleeps much cooler than memory foam, latex, and other mattress technology.
Support	With extra-deep AirFoam pressure relief on hips and shoulders the Nolah Signature 12" mattress is the most comfortable mattress for side, back and stomach sleepers. The soft side is perfect for side and back sleepers, while the firm side is loved by stomach sleepers and people looking for a firm mattress. Nolah AirFoam offers 4x better pressure relief than memory foam and higher durability. The soft side is made especially for side sleepers looking for extra-deep pressure relief on hips and shoulders and back sleepers looking for that "cloud-like" floating feeling. The firm side is made for stomach sleepers and people looking for a firm mattress with the perfect balance of firmness and support.	A revolutionary mattress designed for just about everyone. It's designed to not only help you get better sleep, but to soothe joints, release pressure on the hips and shoulders, and support the neck and back. It's designed to make bedtime the highlight of your day! The Hyper-Elastic Polymer Purple is a pressure-releasing material. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.
