Comfort
Cooling, supportive simbatex® layer: Open cell, graphite-infused Simbatex® foam keeps you cooler, with 30x the airflow of standard memory foam.
Featuring patented Airgocell foam and a layer of pocket springs. This winning combination prevents heat from getting trapped and allows moisture to be wicked away. For cooler, healthier sleep. The Airgocell® foam provides you with ideal comfort thanks to exceptional point-elasticity that allows one area to compress without affecting the rest of the mattress. In addition, Emma's open-pored highly breathable material won't make you sweat. The pocket spring layer aids in air circulation for cool and comfortable sleep.
Support
Zoned, high-density foam base: A crenelated, high-density foam base offers zoned support, providing extra pressure relief to the shoulders and lower lumbar area.
The combination of British foams with pocket springs offers your body full support. Perfect for all sleepers alike, your spine will always stay perfectly aligned and your shoulder and hips optimally supported. A layer of pocket springs mold to your body to offer improved body support. Distributing pressure evenly across the mattress, the memory foam layer adapts to any sleeping position to keep your spine aligned. The zoned cold foam layer, made with cut-out technology, provides support in the areas you need it most and improves the durability of the mattress.
