Construction & materials

Layers	0.75" Quilted Top, 2" TitanFlex Foam, 7" High-Density Base Foam, 1.5" Quilted Bottom.	Top Layer: 2" Hyper-Elastic Polymer material in Smart Comfort Grid Non-toxic polyethylene copolymer powder coating, Middle Layer: 3.5" 1.8 lbs density polyurethane foam, Base Layer: 4" 2.0 lbs density polyurethane foam
Cover	The flippable design of the Plank allows you to choose your ideal firmness level: a .75" quilted top layer, patterned with continuous stitching, ensures zero loft for an ultra-firm sleep experience - or, flip the mattress, and a 1.5" quilted layer, patterned with tack-and-jump stitching, creates minimal loft for a firm sleep experience.	NEW SoftFlex Wave Knit : 29% Viscose, 67% Polyester, 4% Lycra (all +/- 5%). A custom, super-soft knit with tons of stretch so it can flex with both your movement and the Grid's. Its breathable material is also the perfect complement to the Grid's 1,800+ air channels.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	No	No
Comfort	Engineered to reduce pressure on your circulatory system the Plank provides for better blood flow - and better lower back support, compelling you to inhale more oxygen while you snooze.	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	The Plank offers a firmer, flatter, flippable surface for a neutral spine position that's better for your back and posture overall. A 2" layer of our firmest transitional TitanFlex foam adds deep compression support. A 7" high density base foam ensures durability and stability for the life of your bed.	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.
