The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties.

Cover	A luxurious cover made with TENCEL. Cellulose fibers in TENCEL fiber fabric wick moisture away while staying impeccably soft.	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	The PerformaSleep mattress was specifically designed for people with an active lifestyle that need to recover fast. The CopperCool Technology infused into the top layer of the mattress help dissipate excess body heat, give a variable support, and eliminate any moisture. Athletes tend to be denser, therefore they need more support. They also tend to be hot-natured, and need a cooler mattress. In the PerformaSleep mattress, we give our athletes just that. The unique construction and technology of the mattress allows you to sleep cooler and better by elevating any pressure points in the mattress. This in return gives you a better night's sleep which in result will allow you to do better in your everyday activities. The CopperCool technology in the mattress wicks away excess body heat allowing you to sleep cooler throughout the night. When you are laying on your mattress your body will naturally compress the foam and in result the copper and gel particles infused throughout the top layer of the mattress start to coalesce together allowing for the heat to travel away from the body, from particle to particle. Our foam components also have higher airflows than most mattresses on the market today allowing for better heat dissipation.	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 PerformaSleep Enersorb material also gives you that bounce you need to help you move freely throughout the bed and not feel like you are stuck in a hole as with traditional memory foam mattresses. The Enersorb material gives you the same comfort, conformity, and pressure relief as memory foam but without the slow recovery. This is what gives you that bounce and allows you to move freely throughout the bed. Our Enersorb material is also more breathable than memory foam or latex allowing for better heat dissipation.	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.
